036: What's Up With All of These Different Denominations?

It doesn't take long to realize that there are literally hundreds of different churches inside of one city–Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Wesleyan, Christian, Brethren, Church of God, Church of Christ, Church of God in Christ, etc. But this isn't even the best part. The best part? There's different types of churches inside each denomination! Some have estimated that there are well over 200 different distinct Christian groups inside Protestantism.

On the episode of RTC, Marc and Fuller discuss how we got these denominations, why it even matters, and ultimately, should it matter? There are some disagreements between the guys on this episode, which resulted in a very long, passionate conversation.
