I got lost tonight and ended up on the largest forum for the catlicks.
This was one of there topics. Yes, this is what the catlicks said.
why so many denominations?
sola scriptura(bible alone as authority) is the reason. the invented doctrine of martin lither in the early 16th century which was never heard of previous to him.
when you have a man interpreting scripture for himself, he can make it say whatever he wants. without a teaching authority, ordained by God, to keep the teachings of the apostles in line, you have chaos and division which is evident in the last 500 years of Church history.
previous to the 16th century the church was a virtual monolith, teaching basically the same thing throughout the world, other than the few differences of the orthodox split in 1054. after the 16th century and the advent of sola scriptura, we now have well over 30,000 splits in the protestant realms. The fruits are very evident.
This is kind of my point. If sola scriptura is right then why didn't the early Protestants, who I'm sure prayed very hard for guidance, all come up with the same interpretation of the Bible. Why would the Holy Spirit lead the Baptists in one direction, the Mormons in another direction, the Methodists in still another direction and so on. It reminds me of the story of the detective who questioned ten eyewitnesses to a robbery and got ten different answers in return.

Why would the Holy Spirit lead the Baptists in one direction a) Is it the Holy Spirit doing the leading? Or is it man doing the leading, rejecting the Holy Spirit during that process?
b) Different groups have different ways of defining/applying what is in the Bible to current socio-economic-political realities.
c) Most of the "founders" of Protestant denominations were trying to reform the existing church that they were in. They didn't want to start anything. Booth wanted to remain a Methodist, and just focus on a specific socio-economic group for his mission work. The higher-ups in the church didn't like what he was doing, so he was stuck out on a limb, with no option but to form a new denomination. (Had Booth been Catholic, he would have formed a new religious order.
First, a religious leader will present an attractive means of following Christ. The focus may be reading scripture. Another leader comes along with the ability to heal and some of those following the first leader will separate to follow the second. A third demonstrates other gifts of the Holy Spirit or may place the focus on contemplative prayer. The speaker was using these various examples and others as a reason to remain non-denominational. My reaction, however, was that these various means of worshipping Christ and following God are all available within the Catholic Church. We read Scripture. We have a Sacramental life. We have a number of different devotions ranging from the rosary to novenas for various saints. We have shrines devoted to saints who had the gift of healing. Father D'Orio has laid hands on people and healed them. There are others of us involved in the Charismatic Renewal, exhibiting the Pentecostal gifts.
As has been already noted, divisions occurred in the earliest Church and St. Paul addressed this very issue. He reminded everybody that he did not baptize in the name of Paul but in the name of Christ. The number of ways that a person may follow Christ is as individual as the person who has been called and is baptized. There is room within the Church for these various expressions of faith.
OK enough of this stuff, as we know that with all these denominations, is cus they got it all wrong. Only a true KJV inspired gospel should ever be preached. Yet there all out selling there indulgences and the like. Its sometime just nice to go and watch fellow "Christians" get it all wrong. And sometimes dang funny
In case you want to here retard catlicks get it wrong
If such heresy is forbidden here, please forgive me for the link. Its just so funny I had to share.
