Christian Studies from the Textbook Living Religions by Mary Pat Fisher

Denominations are unclear in the post-Christian domain and often an impendent to the undertaking. However, most persons in various faith have little awareness what they mean, and no one cares. Though the disparity amongst the main denominations is comparatively insignificant for instance, Protestants share a biblical norm, admit vital ecumenical faiths and witness the same sacraments. Furthermore, denomination dissimilarities are not only incomprehensible to their associates but to the more critical system of things which are comparatively minimal.

Christian denominations vary in how they examine the power of the scripture. Also, they trusted Holy Spirit or God guided the writing of the scripture. Nevertheless, the disappointment of Christians to live according to the willpower of God has caused to denomination disparity. Thus, it is factual, we are all sinners, and we do not see things eye to eye. It is unlucky that denomination dissimilarity is due to thoughtlessness and absence of love.

However, churches such as Presbyterians incline to stress the independent will and power of God and baptize children while church like Lutherans leans to highlight Gods grace and baptize children. Also, evangelical churches incline to baptize later when a teen is old enough to choose for himself or herself if he or she needs to be baptized. Furthermore, orthodox trusts that religion is own understanding and there is no precise meaning of religious truth for all persons. On the other hand, Catholics view in the Trinity, divinity of Christ and the bible. Besides that, in Anglicanism, there is no dominant source of power though the sole portion is the book of common prayer. Lastly, protestant goes straight to the word of God for guidance and to the sovereignty of grace in his devoutness.

A period ago, political dissimilarities outdid religious ones. For instance, Presbyterian and Lutheran worshipers have a lot more in mutual than do liberal and traditional worshipers in the same custom. Thus, disparity over how to read a Bible, nature of atonement and personality of God are more significant nowadays than nuanced dissimilarity in polity or concerning the sacraments. Also, denomination association signifies the victory of cultural and social devotions over theological principles. However, denominations may result from over religious disparity. Though, they were appointed by the political realism for their supporting positions.

Christians of the first and second eras adored in small pockets and their religious activities varied from urban to urban. Moreover, Christians were banned under Roman rule, and many devotees were victimized and executed for admitting their faith. Later after Roman kingdom transformed to Christianity, a law was passed to end oppression. Furthermore, Christians differed with one another about the link of Jesus to God. This ends with the main assembly of Christian churches explained essential facts of theology comprising trinity and divinity of Jesus. Seventy years later after Christianity has been permitted, a Christian belief was founded as the formal religion of the Roman kingdom, and Christianity spread fast. Christianity is a monotheistic religion thus it explains the presence of one God as this principle is universal with Judaism and Islam religions.

Christianity imparts the presence of one God with three distinct namely; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit which is indicated as a trinity. However, the principle of the Trinity is acknowledged by central divisions of Christianity for exemplary; orthodox, Anglican, Protestant and Catholics. On the other hand, the creed is disallowed by some believers, for instance, Jehovahs witness and Mormonism.
