A little while back I wrote an essay entitled "The Difference," that highlighted the difference between being Christ-like and being a Christian.
I'll admit, that essay failed you the reader.
It didn't offer the solution, it only implied it.
Here's the solution: We must bridge the gap between the pious and the profane, to accept and realize we are all one, that we are all the same. We are one body (Romans 12), and we are all Saints (Ephesians 1). Love one another. And bridge the gap between striving to be Christ-like and being a Christian. Too many Christians take it lightly.
So Stop Taking it Lightly. Seek God with all your heart. That's the only solution. Then there will be no need for sections of the Church when we are all one body (1 Cor. 12), for we all do our part.

why are there more than 40,000 different denominations of christianity? how can all of them be so committed to the bible yet sometimes have completely opposite interpretations of the same verse? how can they then all be true? i thought the bible was truth, the word of god...so it cant contradict itself, right? its the holy inspired word of god...god cant contradict himself, right? how come some verses are looked over and not explained, merely because they are difficult to interpret since they seemingly conflict with another interpretation of another verse? shouldnt everything be accounted for? how come some protestants denounce catholics, and follow the bible supposedly, when the catholics were the ones who put the bible together in teh first place? how do catholics then not know what they're talking about? how are they not christian (according to some) if they were the ONLY christians for 1500 years? how is tradition a bad thing when keeping tradition is a biblically sound act?
you've inquired about the catholic church before, so i thought id put questions that i had to answer myself as i thought about christianity. i htink we should be more unified. i find that universality in the catholic church. after all, the word "catholic" means "universal."
i have absolutely no idea whether or not this comment is even relevant to you lol. but i felt like saying it.
