Is it me? But it all sounds so divisive and competitive. I do not know Christ divided. All of the hyphenated Christian organizations. Perhaps what men have coined “Christianity” is not from God at all; but something man-made. So much division and diverse teachings.

At his transfiguration (Luke 9:35), God said that we were to listen to His Son. Seems to me that who is really being listened to are the many diverse religious organizations with their many diverse teachings and voices.

Jesus does not speak in many voices and many different teachings. There is only one.

Should one not view these many voices as “strange” voices and run from them?

“The watchman opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” (John 10:3-5)

The many “churches” speak with different voices, different and competing teachings. They have a strangers voice.

Thanks, Jeff. It didn’t take as long as you might think, but certainly longer than most posts. It’s been stirring in my heart for some time, I just needed to put it “down on paper,” so to speak. I appreciate you.

Nice post. That must have taken some time. I learned some things, being denominationally challenged.

In addition to trying to stay positive I want to try to do more of this type of thing on various people, groups, blogs etc. Romans 12:10.
