Church Denomination Politics

I personally believe that we as the true body of Christ are the church. If you look at your body you will notice that you have different parts in it.All the parts of our body whether big or small    play a significant role in it's functionality. In today's world we have many churches and each one has something different to offer. So back to the title "Church Denomination Politics" I have seen situations where homes were torn apart due to denominational differences.  My thing is before you get married to a person please en-devour to air everything out, don't lie or pretend just be real. You both should have a discussion on what type of church will work best for the both of you, because believe it or not as mentioned earlier each church has something different to offer, this of course means that the doctrines, teachings etc varies in all denominations. If you both have discussed what church will work best for the both of you this whole church denominational quagmire won't exist. Truth be told I believe that you can learn so many things in so many different places so why limit yourself to just one church. I believe that couples should switch it up every once in a while. Don't just lock yourself in one place actually explore other places at least until you both find one that caters to  your spirituality in it's entirety.  To be honest as long as the message of the church is based  on Christ, his love , salvation, forgiveness, repentance etc, then it really shouldn't matter where you both fellowship just as long as there is an agreement and that the foundation of the church is the word of God. Say for instance that my "husband" has given me the liberty to fellowship anywhere I want and he's fine with it there will not be any conflict at all on this issue because we both have agreed, but let's say for instance, that my husband wants me to fellowship at a church but I don't like it, should I decide to fellowship elsewhere there will definitely be a conflict. What is my point? My point is simply this let there be an understanding between the both of you. If you don't like where you both are fellow-shipping actually have a sit down and spill it out. Don't pretend and act like you like it when in reality you hate it. If you are blessed to have an understanding spouse maybe he or she can suggest alternating what churches you both will attend for the sake of peace. If you have a hard-headed spouse give him or her some time to come around, otherwise your marriage will end in shambles. I have been to quite a few churches and truth be told I don't have a "base church". Should a believer have a "base church"? This is my philosophy on the whole denominational, base church issue. We are different and alike in many ways. I believe that why we have so many different churches today it's because we have different needs and we look for the places that attend to our needs. I strongly believe that as long as a church teaches the message of salvation and as long as their messages are not misinterpreted for monetary purposes then it really shouldn't matter where one fellowships. Again this is my philosophy, so you can disregard this if you feel that this does not appeal to you. Don't let a denomination be the reason why your house is falling apart or why you have cut yourself off from true friends and family etc. The church at the end of the day is you and I. The doctrines and teachings are the things that make churches different, but if you take your time to look at them all they are one and the same.
