Why So Many?

Why So Many?

I was asked, “Why are there so many denominations in the world? And how can billions of people be wrong and go to Hell? There must be different truths!”

No, there is one Truth and that is Jesus Christ became a man, lived as a man, died as a man, yet never ceased to be God and all for the sins of the whole world that is under the control of Satan.

While pondering this, the Lord took me back to my beloved Genesis. You know the other day I was thinking how all my life, since studying the Word, I always favored Leviticus, but I could not tell you why. Preachers make jokes about turning to that book where the pages are stuck together! Not me! I was drawn to it, but never really understood the significance until that one fateful day, that the Holy Spirit used THAT book to change my life.

But going back to Genesis and yes, Leviticus answers the questions too, but it begins in Genesis where God HIMSELF made the first sacrifice for Adam and Eve who sinned against Him. Shouldn’t we pay close attention to what God Himself did and said about the problem of sin? Should we not pay very close attention to the sacrifice that Cain brought to God and the sacrifice his brother Abel brought to God? Should we not pay close attention to the words God spoke to Cain when God rejected his sacrifice?

It’s right there, the answers to the question. Cain was the first denomination! The first to interpret Gods prescribed order of victory a different way than God prescribed. He did his best. He tried his hardest. He was sincere! What did God say? “Satan crouches at your door!” What does that mean? It means Cain did not obey. He did not bring God the right sacrifice! Sincerity and hard work meant NOTHING! The blood covered sins, not salad.

It’s all recorded for you in the Word of God. God tells you all you need to know to come to Him. Your sincerity will not get you into heaven! Satan is crouching at your door to deceive!

Blessings
