Why are there so many Christian churches and different beliefs in our world today?
How did this division happen? The one true living God isn't divided so why is His church so divided?
It is interesting to note that in the original Greek in which the New Testament was written the word translated as "antichrist" doesn't mean something that is so opposite God that it would obviously be "antichrist", but it means pseudo-christ. In other words looks like Christ in appearance and uses the words of Christ such as love and acceptance, but denies the truth that Christ declared such as obedience to His word and love for Him being very much related.
The Holy Bible declares that there is only one way to God. The Holy Bible is the only Book in history that has proven itself over and over again as the inspired Word of God. Even common sense declares that there can only be one way to God since He is and teaches absolute Truth. The fact that He has instructed man through His God breathed book is a great indication that He cares about teaching us the Truth about Himself and how to be with Him in a Holy place of perfection. Surely it is not simply left up to us to only accept Him because God has to be in on the whole acceptance procedure since He is the Judge after all. If it were left up to us to decide how to come to God then He (God) would definitely owe Cain an apology! (Genesis 4:3-7) So what is the correct way that was designed by God Himself according to His Word? Where did the changes to the original way come from? Could those changes that were made be politically motivated? (for power, control etc.) (The word Church in the original Greek language is: ekklesia which means "called out ones")

Politically motivated change to the church
Christian Church history, what does it tell us? What did the Apostles believe and teach?
This project isn't designed to criticize nor insult anyone’s Christian faith or belief, but it is designed to reveal the history of the original church which was founded on the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (the gospel or "good news"). This study is designed to show what His Apostles believed, taught and founded in the Book of Acts, and what they were each willing to die for. Finally it is designed to show what happened after that original church was established and how that for political maneuvering, was forced by mandate of law to change the original teachings into the man-made way of an emperor of Rome. This is purely an informational site.
This study does assume the validity of the Holy Bible and also the Biblical fact that it is impossible for God to lie. (Hebrews 6:18) As the Holy Bible instructs us to: "Study to show yourself approved unto God,". It behooves us to know this for ourselves and to not take anyone's unsubstantiated teachings nor opinions of the matter. Nor should we blindly trust the non Biblical traditions that were started a long time ago and founded by political maneuvering.
Please note that we are not examining every belief that man presently has in the world today. We are focused on Biblical Christianity and on the supernatural Book that God Himself endorsed through Jesus Christ, the Apostles and the prophets. Jesus Christ emphatically declared that no one comes to God but by Him. This is quite the dogmatic statement today in this politically correct world of accept-ism, what else did Jesus Christ teach?
Our team is determined to verify each historical fact and present it in as a concise way as possible. We ask that you will search for yourself these Christian Church historical facts and then make your own decision.
It can be quite shocking to find the historical truth of what happened...
So let’s begin this study...
