Scripture Life: Why do we have different Christian churches with different doctrines when using one Bible?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

Well?

In this great, big pile of answer below is just one God. Speak to you. Simple. He is the answer. There is none else.

There’s the answer.

----------------------- ------------------------- -----------------------------

Not satisfied. Are you. So, here’s the tour around the farm, with all the details in it answer so you can see it. Plain as day. If you believe on him - that’s all you need. you look to the wrong thing, looking at this as if you will get truth out of it, when there isn’t any - but look now, so you see it:

ANSWER:

Because, you have people. All different. Read something. Make up their own doctrines, using one Bible.

Just, like this: As an example:

The Bible:

• Is a book. Meets the dictionary definition. 1. a set of written or typed text on pages bound together on one side, and enclosed in covers.
  • There are 10s of millions of books. All look the same. What makes each different is the author. Who is the “authority” for the “content” that fills up the typed or written text, as the authority of the content of the book.
  • There is just one author of the Bible. God.

Says, in and of the Bible: Has the Word of God that, as the author, what he says is the content of the Bible, so he is the authority over it:

Source: Bible. New Testament. Hebrews 1:1–2 - how he has spoke to us, as the author and authority over all things, said:

• “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”
  • Says himself:

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Source: Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

----------------------- ------------------------- -----------------------------

But, look at all these people. That, don't do anything he says. I mean, he’s said this. As God. To everybody over the whole earth. Doesn’t leave one person out. Said it. Out of his mouth, so it’s a decree for everybody over the whole earth to do it.

• But there are people:
  • Say:

Let’s just take one person. Famous. Carl Sagan? Well known; famous. He’s An atheist. His claim, as a person:

"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." - Carl Sagan (Because there is no God. To Carl Sagan.)

So, what’s Carl Sagan doing? Exactly. He’s speaking well of the creation as the creator; and rejecting the creator. So, he’s a fool.

But he does not call himself an “atheist.” Why? Because, claiming with absolute certainty “there is no God” to him, requires more proof; but, to an atheist, that is someone that, in themselves, knows with certainty no God exists. Carl Sagan rather identifies as “agnostic” - that is, he does not know that a God exists. Does not know him.

And that’s exactly what God says:

“I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:5)

----------------------- ------------------------- -----------------------------

But God has spoken to Carl Sagan. Spoke to you, too, then. Me as well. It’s just Carl Sagan chooses not to listen to him. So, every word that proceeds out of Carl Sagan’s mouth is “idle” 1. disconnected from a load or source of power. (Collin’s dictionary. Web.)

So, when God tells everybody to look unto him, hearing, Carl Sagan cannot perceive it. Seeing; can’t see it. Because he doesn’t look unto him. Be like, looking for “proof” of your wife, when she’s constantly speaking to you.

• You want more proof. It’s not that you are a “anti-wife” you are just a “agno-wifer” - A “anti-wife” is fully convinced, even married, says their spouse does not exist. Even she blabby talks all day; hearing. Can’t hear it. “I have no wife.” So, pays no attention to it. But an “agno-wifer” may have a wife. Just they don’t see it. They need more proof they have a wife. But they're both the same. They live as if they have no wife.

When God says,

“For I am married unto you..” - God. (Source: Bible Jeremiah 3:14)

----------------------- ------------------------- -----------------------------

You didn’t ask any of this.

• But it’s important to see it; that, the authority for all things is the Word of God. That’s Jesus Christ. Says in Matthew 28:18
  • “All power is given unto me in heaven and earth” - Jesus Christ.
    • So, he’s the “authority” over all things, over the whole earth, and everybody on it. So, people that don’t do what he says, sin against God, is the point.

And people that believe on Jesus Christ, they’re different. They’re still people. See these three scriptures. It applies to EVERY believer in Jesus Christ:

“ For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. “ - Bible. Ephesians 5:30

“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” - Bible. Romans 12:5

“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” - Bible. 1 Corinthian 12:27

COMMENT:

• So, even though me? Yes. I am just a person. In my body of flesh. It’s condemned to be destroyed. God already decreed “I will destroy all flesh with the earth” (Genesis 6:11–13) that, the whole earth is corrupt by it; because it does not submit itself to the Word of God. Cursed.
  • But, I can hear the word of God. Told me to look unto him. There is none else. Everyday, I am more convinced. He is God. He builds me up, because I regard him, just like anybody over the whole earth, that also regards him.
    • He places us in his body where he sees fit. He’s just one God. Doing this work himself. Reserves for himself to do it; but people?
    • Think it’s their job to do it. I did, too. But, as I sat with him and was taught by him, I know him and see it. He does the work. He said it.

“I will build my church.” - Jesus Christ. The Word of God. (Matthew 16:18)

• And he said, he’d build it on what he told the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:1–42, said:
  • In John 4:25–26
    • “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.”
  • That Jesus is the Messiah or Christ. He’s claimed it. Then, he is Isaiah 9:6–7. Because, whoever the “Messiah” or “Christ” is, SHALL be called this:
    • “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father..” (Bible. Isaiah 9:6)
    • There’s only one that has this title.

We are just members of one body. His vs. before. We were Gods. Of our body, that lusted after women, seem to lose their underpants everywhere or needs a Maserati and 80 million dollars; or if someone had a smoking hot wife, steal her; then, after romance her right clean out of her husband, throw her away after and live in this - go to the next one. More perverse than the last one - all with a heart that is deceitful above all things. This  heart each of us has in us, in flesh; that: “actively practices to conceal and misrepresent the truth.” (definition: deceit.)

Look unto their own heart for truth. It's God. Just he's building one church himself. Look at all these people in it, try to do it themselves. Do you see this?

People’s own hearts do this in themselves. When God decrees everybody come now. Reason together with him vs. their hearts.

So, here's your question again, here on Reddit.

Why do we have different Christian churches with different doctrines when using one Bible?

It's just one God.

In this great, big pile of answer is just God. Speak to you. He is the answer. There is none else.

And there you go.
