Default Why does Protestantism have to continual change itself to be true?

With the ever increasing number of Protestant denominations each day, why can't most Protestant brethren openly recognize there is something wrong going on in accepting the allow-ability of denominational ism? How can physical as well as doctrinal disunity led to spiritual unity in the Holy Spirit in some sort of "invisible" community as explained by those who accept the existence of denominational ism and even argue for it in ecumenical terms for the purpose of evangelistic?

How can we be an example to the world if we evangelize with watered-down doctrine and theology on unity to those potentialALonverts to Christianity? Does not denominationlism present a lie to those outside Christianity?

I don't know one religious group that hasn't changed with the times at least some

Anyone that is for God, is not against God

"Christians": Why do you reject OT laws that affect you, but embrace OT laws that affect others?

Please look up this answer I just gave to this question as it applies to this one also.

A religion that changes to cope with new realities or changes in society's values deserves a lot more respect than one that continues to cling to utterly outdated and known false dogma even in the face of truth.

I have little respect for any religion, but one that is prepared to acknowledge some parts of reality would get my vote.

Some water down and some don't. The main thing is teaching Christ crucified for us. Small issues are types of music, and service formats.

you know the problem of course with the ever increasing denominational ism the more Protestant branches the more the disunity becomes reality and disagreements foster more splits, perhaps like an overflowed balloon it will all explode one day.
This is why Christ instituted one church and one body, and prayed that all may be one as the Father and Jesus are one.

The original bible was put together by a roman emperor who was trying to unite a diverse group of people under one government and one religious philosophy. So he chose bits and pieces of "inspired literature" which fit his needs. Today, I think people continue to rework the "book" in order to come up with a custom made religion.

Of course, Christ is not divided. Yet we also know that there will be differences amongst us, and we will see what is approved.
I do agree...truth does not change. Truth is absolute.
The attack comes from the world in the form of relativism, which has so obviously crept into the church, especially the liberal minded ones.
I don't know if the church much past Pentecost was uniform. There has been unity, but I doubt uniformity.
