Phil 2:2
1Pet 3:8,
So why are there thousands pf denominations, sects, and cults in the world? And I can't help but notice an inordinate number of rather contentious discussions on this and pretty much every other Christian forum on the internet.
I'm thinking the answer is found in Matthew. Jesus was talking to the religious leaders of the time.
Mat 15:3,
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1Cor 1:10,
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.
2Cor 13:11,
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Phil 2:2
Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
1Pet 3:8,
Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous.

But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Have our leaders fallen into the same trap? Have they failed in teaching all Christians to be of one mind?
