(*Full Title: Christians: May I ask, what are your thoughts on this Bible Scripture & the DENOMINATIONAL state of Christianity?)
"(10)Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (11)For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. (12)Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. (13)Is Christ divided?..." 1 Cor. 1:10-13
Peace & May God Bless you.

That's what Paulus said to this theme.
My five cent:
The philosophical background is the paradigma "There's only one common truth". That's for example what also all scientists of all sciences are accepting. Concrete example: if something is true in physics and the same would be wrong in chemistry then something would be wrong with the doctrines of physics or the doctrines of chemistry or with one of the used methods and rules. In case of physics and chemistry it's in most cases easy to find out what is wrong, because experiments are the criterion for truth in this case. This truth is not inside human beings - this truth is outside in the nature all around - we could also say "in the world that is [created from] the logos of god". On the other side: There is no other side! We are "inside" part of this world too - we are on our own - everyone - part of this creative logos of god. So why do we not agree in all questions? ... I guess that's because we are "idiots". We have to simulate everything first in our thoughts if we like to understand. Our thoughts are somehow the shadows of the world under gods light. We don't see very clear what's all around. We have first to learn everything. And we are only able to learn in communication with others. If we understand Paulus - or anyone else - then we should not forget that there's only one truth in the world amd we are children who have to learn everything, really everything. The very astonishing thing: it seems to me in the time where we live today more and more people like to learn nothing against each other instead to learn something together with others.
