Lord's Supper

Why are there so many different Christian denominations when we all have the same Bible? True, some Bibles include a few extra books, and some groups may use different versions of Scripture, but this hardly explains that tremendous diversity of doctrine and practice we see throughout Christendom. Most of these differences are not the result of different Bibles or different versions. Much of the disagreement is not over what the Bible says, it is over what the Bible means. Most Christians would agree that the words of Scripture are true and authoritative- but are divided over divining the meaning of those authoritative words. We must understand the difference between Scripture and theology. Scripture is what is written. Theology is the meaning of what is written. In "e;The Lord's Supper"e; we will examine the variety of traditions regarding Communion in light of the New Testament.
