With most churches accepting the Apostles and Nicene Creeds, why are we so divided? Styles of worship differ but the essentials seem the same.
Christians are divided over the bible being all gods word or not was there a 6/ 24 hr day creation or not
Christian people are divided over many very important issues like baptismal regeneration the real presence of Jesus body and blood for the forgiveness of sins in the lord supper.. If we are predestined to faith in Jesus or not. IF some are predestined to hell or not ,,..is there only holy baptism or is there a so called spirit baptism.. also is speaking in tongues still around AND end times
teachings ..also what is worship mostly is it God giving us or is it we giving him. Should the hymns reflect on the bible text pastors sermon and sacraments
or should they just be easy to sing and likable tunes based on subjective feelings..
now use of the liturgy is not mandatory bible teaching..... yet its word are from the bible so
why would any Christian not want the liturgy that reminds them of what Christ has done for them telling of the forgiveness Jesus won for them ..it yells out even to the preacher that the people came to see Jesus and not him SO HE BETTER PREACH Jesus and him crucified and risen for all..
yet a church body does not have to use it its not mandatory bible teaching that they use it..
now the why these other important bible issues divide
Jesus said if You Love me keep my teachings ..
hopeful the division on all sides is over people trying to keep his teachings correctly
and not compromising those teachings..
