The following Bible verses prove that Denominations Are Divided Nations
Matthew 12:25 “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself
will not stand.
Ephesians 4:4-6 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith,
one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
1Corinthians 1:10-13 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same
thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment. For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of
Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you. Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of
Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified
for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?
Phillipians 2:2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Psalms 133:1-3 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil
upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his
garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD
commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.
True Unity Is Only Possible If We Agree With The Word Of God Above All.
When Man Departs From Jesus’ Word (Holy Bible) The Result Is Bad Doctrine
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?
Romans 16:17-18 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which
you learned, and avoid them. For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own
belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.
Jude 1:19 These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.
Titus 1:11 …there are many insubordinate, both idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, whose
mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, for the sake
of dishonest gain.
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different
gospel,
1Corinthians 4:6-7 Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you
may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one
against the other. For who makes you differ from another?…
Isaiah 55:8-9 “ …My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “ For as the heavens
are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.
2Peter 1:20 … no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation
2Timothy3:1-5 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of
money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving,
slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn
away!
1Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to
deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,…
2John 1:9-11 Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in
the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this
doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.
Proverbs 4:1-7 Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding; For I give you
good doctrine: Do not forsake my law. When I was my father’s son, Tender and the only one in the sight of
my mother, He also taught me, and said to me: “ Let your heart retain my words; Keep my commands, and
live. Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not
forsake her, and she will preserve you; Love her, and she will keep you. Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
1 Timothy 1:3-7 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach
no other doctrine, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly
edification which is in faith. Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good
conscience, and from sincere faith, from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, desiring
to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
However…
Galatians 1:11 …I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I
neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-15 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,
for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we
all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure
of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried
about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—
1Timothy 5:17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word
and doctrine.
1Timothy 6:3-5 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed
with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless
wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of
gain. From such withdraw yourself.
John 7:16-18 Jesus Said … “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone wills to do His will, he shall
know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true,
and no unrighteousness is in Him.
Warning!!!
2Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires,
because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
Isaiah 29:13-14 Therefore the Lord said: “ Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their
lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the
commandment of men, Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A
marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of
their prudent men shall be hidden.”
Hebrew 13:8-9 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried about with various and strange
doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those
who have been occupied with them.
2Kings 17:35 “You shall not fear other gods, nor bow down to them nor serve them nor sacrifice to them;

Yes, denominationalism is more division between people and that is caused by confusion by Satan. The whole purpose of Jesus dying on the cross is to bring people back to God and have a relationship with Him. All Believers are aiming for the SAME thing! With all the denominations makes it more confusing, judgemental, and more divisive. Unfortunately. All Believers are to have a relationship with God and also witness to people too, so they too can have a relationship with Him and be saved from Hell. "Religion" has gotten in the way of Relationship. That's going to stop NOW! In Jesus' NAME! Amen and AMEN!
