"Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son." (2 John 9) "And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." (Matt. 15:9)

An architect draws up one set of blueprints for a house and gives copies to ten different building contractors and asks each one to build a house according to the blueprints. After the houses are completed, there should be ten houses exactly alike because all came from the same blueprints. If the houses differ from each other, it means the contractors took liberty with the blueprints. If they took liberty with the blueprints, they did not produce what the architect desired, but what they themselves wanted.

We pose some simple but important questions: "Why are there so many denominational churches today?" "Is it not because they have taken liberty with God's blueprints for His New Testament church?" "Have they not added their own wishes and desires rather than what God Himself wants?"
