there are reported to be approximately 38,000 Christian denominations, the link above attempts to list and trace the ancestory of the denominations |
In the beginning one body is what was following Christ. But, and this is my own opinion, Satan has used the old "divide and conquer" routine with the church.
I read an article where the Christians were being killed, not because they worshipped Jesus Christ, but because they refused to incorporate worship to all the other deities in addition to Christ. Pagan Rome had many gods and in the 2nd Century, they did not care if one worshipped whatever diety one may want, but that they had to worship them all and say all the gods were equal.
Christians refused to do that.
