It is said that diversity is of God, but division of the devil. So while there may be many denominations, do not they have the same Lord? Most people would agree there are essential and non essential doctrines in the faith and possibly these distinctions in non essentials is what diversifies the Church? If it comes down to tenets of the faith however they may not be of the faith or in need of correction, leading to the truth.
Certain denominations may emphasize one aspect of the truth more than the other and in this regard maybe it is fitting to reach people needing different food. One preaches prosperity and another endurance, another joy and another bearing each other’s burdens. This may be good for people in different times and seasons.
This is more accurate towards differing teachers but maybe it could be said of denominations as well. Some people need grounding in biblical truth, and others need the reality of the Holy Spirit, and our very real relationship and communion with the Lord.
Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels.
