They fail to see the truth in those Old Testament stories. “All these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition…” (1 Cor. 10:11). “Whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we…might have hope” (Rom. 15:4).

Is it possible for people today to simply be Christians and not a part of denominational division of today? Absolutely! Jesus shows us the way out of religious confusion!
