Default How do you explain the emergency of the 38,000 odd denominations in Christianity?

Why are there so many denominations?
Do they see eye to eye?
i mean emergence of...sorry
Isn't it because of the perversion of religion by the church?

I think you mean emergence...

The fact is the bible is a piece of literature as are other religious texts and therefore is subject to interpretation as those who read it see fit. Different interpretations=different viewpoints and hence different denominations.

They have common ground. They have theological differences based on their interpretation of the bible.

Because if you get 10 people together discussing a topic there will often be 15 different opinions.

During the 16Th century, serious dissensions appeared, and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church. These communities invented their own denominations in protest to the Church, and they altered their Bibles.The ruptures that wound the unity of Christ's Body - here we must distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism - do not occur without human sin. They all disagree with each other, even with basic Scripture.
