DenominationalChristianityVSUniversalChristianity

[Cepha]

What are the differences between Denominational Christianity VS Universal Christianity?

[Cepha]

Denominational Christianity

Created by men.

Based on teachings and doctrines of men.

Contradicts Jesus' teachings.

Divisive among the sheep.

Focuses on separation (like The Pharisees).

Uses The Pharisees canon of The Old Testament that didn't exist while Jesus was alive instead of The Old Testament that Jesus used (The Septugaint) that existed 2-300 years before Jesus was born.

Rejects Christian history.

[Cepha]

Denominational Christianity has no structure like Jesus had
(one leader, a heirchy of Church helpers, etc...).

It is currently divided into 33,000+ different denomintions and growing at about 5 new denominations weekly.



It is obviously "not" one as Jesus wanted His Church to be (only one Church is "one").

[edit] Latter Day Saints
Main articles: Latter Day Saint movement and Mormonism
Most Latter Day Saint denominations are derived from the Church of Christ established by Joseph Smith, Jr. in 1830. The majority of "Prairie Saint" denominations were established after the death of Smith by the remnants of the saints who did not go west with Brigham Young. The Rocky Mountain denominations are various sects who broke from the LDS Church after its abandonment of polygamy in 1890. Other denominations are defined by either a belief in Joseph Smith as a prophet, or acceptance of the Book of Mormon as scripture. Mormonism is generally considered distinct from mainstream Protestantism and is more akin to restorationism in believing that Smith restored the original Church of Christ to the Earth.
