Jesus Is Not Divided Into Denominations (2nd Corinthians 11:3/4).

1st Corinthians 14:26
How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
The single biggest issue facing the church today is the reality of denominations and systems of thought that all conform Christ Jesus in one way or another. And I understand that this statement will upset some and even bring others to label me as many harsh things, but 2nd Corinthians 11:3/4 along with John 14:26 and John 16:13 do not lie. God is not divided. Christ is not a system of thought or a denomination, and yet, over 2000+ years later, the ‘church’ is a mess of mixed paganism, Gnosticism and other ideologies that have created cults and radical systems of thought that blaspheme the name of God through and through.
The apostle Paul warned the early church, as well as those of us today that we should not do such things, and that those who do so are considered ‘anathema’ (Galatians 1:8… accursed translates to anathema). Much of it comes from ignorance of the simplicity in Christ Jesus (Matthew 22:36/40, Matthew 28:18/20), while much more of it comes from arrogance, pride and refusing to listen to the Holy Spirit, and sticking with tradition and what ‘feels’ right. I firmly believe that God is going to shatter these systems very soon, and a faithful remnant will be here to endure to the end as Jesus commands (Revelation 2:10, 6:9/11, 12:11).
Denominations are not a salvation issue per se, however, so many are already set up to be offended and even deny Christ Jesus when these systems crumble (Matthew 24:9/14). Multitudes are going to be wondering why they were lied to for so long, doubt their faith and even become violent and enraged at the systems that have kept us in bondage for all of these centuries. But those who see and understand (eyes to see and ears to hear), they will be able to help those who will have questions or are afraid. I encourage you, the reader, to sit down with God and wrestle through the coming realities and be prepared to see a lot of offense in the days ahead, and to not let your love grow cold as we see the systems of conformed religion finally come to an end.
