[QUOTE="football5680, post: 2758580, member: 698587"] Not necessarily. Muslims would say they follow Jesus but they aren't Christians. Jesus found 1 church and it was the Catholic Church. Saint Peter became the first pope. Other churches branched out from there. At different points in time there were schism's. The Eastern Orthodox church was the first and I think they split around the year 1000. Then in the 1500's you had the protestant reformation and this created a bunch of different denominations. One reason this happened was because the bible was translated into English. Before this time the bibles were commonly written in Latin and nobody but the priest who had to learn Latin understood what was written. When it was translated into English other people could interpret the scripture for themselves. The second reason was due to the invention of the printing press. Before this time the Priests had to lock their bibles in the church because they were so rare and they couldn't afford to lose them. The printing press made the bible widely available and common people could read and interpret it for themselves. [/QUOTE]
