Denominations or Abominations?

As has often been the case, the beginning of one of my books comes to mind when talking with others - this small offering is no different. Having just finished writing Revival Revisited, I was talking to a fellow believer about how many religions have different views on revival, which made me think of how many religions there were, which led on to how many denominations there must be, and how the world in general must be confused as to which is which. Some of what is offered here is from my Home from Home series of books, with additional emphasis on what scripture says. After all, everything we believe in should have its base in scripture - shouldn't it? Religion has become the thinker's version of Russian Dolls - each time we think we have found what we are looking for, there is something else, then something else, and then something else. This is not a comprehensive guide to religions (I leave that to Wilkinson quoted elsewhere), nor does it fully portray the vast number of denominations - Christian or otherwise, but it does attempt to show how dangerous it has been and will be to continue dividing up Christianity as if it was a never- ending cake. Christianity is Christianity: it is not a religion, it should not have denominations, or divisions, or multi- faith approaches, or freedom to choose whichever path is flavour of the month!
