What was religion like in the 1640s in the American Colonies?
Puritanism was the main religion of that time.
What denominations were started from Catholicism?
There are now about 36,000 Protestant denominations that had their origins in Catholicism. Some, such as the Anglican and Lutheran, broke directly from the Church. Others, such as Baptists and Puritans, broke from the Anglicans and Lutherans and then from each other. Now there are tens of thousands of Protestant sects, all believing that they are the one, true Church while there was and still is only one Catholic Church.
Is lots of denominations a good idea?
OpinionWe have tried the single-denomination model of the early Roman Catholic Church, and this was a failure in human terms. Having a monopoly for the pastoral care of all Christians in western Europe, the Catholic Church faced no checks or balalnces. It became lazy, corrupt and oppressive.The Reformation broke up that monopoly. Not only were there new denominations, with new models and ethical leadership, the Catholic Church was effectively challenged to review its role and its ethics. This brought about renewal in the Catholic Church after the counter-Reformation.Whether or not there are now too many denominations for the good of Christianity is a debatable point, but too many denominations is to be preferred to too few.
Is catholicism the first founding denomination?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, Catholicism is the only Church that was founded by Jesus Christ to preach and to bring His message to people and people to God. "Denominations" as we have today did not start until the sixteenth century when several people left the Church and founded their own. These "churches" are what is know now as denominations. Catholicism is Christianity, NOT a denomination.
How many sects or different denominations does Mormonism have?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has no denominations or sects that it claims as part of it. There are several groups that have LEFT the LDS church, but they are not considered Mormons by the LDS church, even though some of them call themselves Mormons. The two best known are the RLDS (Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), now called the Community of Christ, and the FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), which is in the news a lot presently. The FLDS is the group that is polygamous.
What does the Right Now church mission promote?
The mission of the Right Now Church promotes the idea that the world has lied to people. The Right Now Church wants to help people trade in the traditional pursuit of the American Dream for a more mission-minded goal of helping a world that needs Christ.
What church did Christ found?
Simply The Church. The Church is otherwise known as the body of Christ. Every one of Christ's disciples makes up the Church. "Now you are the body of Christ and each one of you is a part of it." 1 Corinthians 12:27 In order to be a part of the Christian Church, you need to believe Jesus Christ died to pay for your sins and was raised from the dead to conquer over death. And confess it with your mouth. All Christian Church denominations believe in this one fundamental truth and the reason there are so many denominations is mainly because of differing views on less important truths of the Bible or different views of worship.
What are there so many denominations beside Catholic and was Jesus a Catholic?
There is a little problem with your question. Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, founded the Catholic Church on the apostle Peter. It's not that Jesus WAS a Catholic, it is that the Catholic Church IS His Body. Furthermore, Catholic is NOT a denomination. The Catholic Church is the one and only Christian Church that Jesus founded and guaranteed. He send His Holy Spirit to guide it always. Thus there is nothing "beside" Catholic: Now, denominations are heresies, that is they are religious communities founded by individual men starting roughly 1,500 years after Our Blessed Lord left this earth. Denominations, thus, are man-made organizations, they are referred to as protestant as they were formed by people who were protesting the Christian Church that Christ founded. The reason there are so many of them is simple. Our Blessed Lord only founded one Church, guaranteed it, and guides it until the end of the world. The denominations are founded by individual men who are protesting something, they have no guarantees, and they can't even agree with each other, so they constantly multiply - this is one of the signs that they are not from God.
Why do some denominations forbid the use of musical instruments in their worship services?
Some denominations feel that, in regards to worship services, specifics not explicitly permitted in the New Testament are not permitted, even if they are permitted in the Old Testament. Modern conveniences, such as electric lighting, are excused as "aids" to worship. Only a very few denominations have such a belief. One is the Church Of Christ. The majority do not subscribe to this belief. One of the main scriptures they use to base the belief that you are to not use musical instruments is In Ephesians 5:19, "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord."
What is the difference between a Bible Church and Baptist Church?
