1Cor 1:10

[TommyWommy]

Is 1Cor 1:10 an indication that there have always been Christian denominations from the earliest times of the Church?

Interesting. Perhaps…or perhaps it was simply warning about what would one day happen.

{1:10} And so, I beg you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that every one of you speak in the same way, and that there be no schisms among you. So may you become perfect, with the same mind and with the same judgment.

 

[Linus2]

Paul confronts immature believers whose allegiance to various missionaries was dividing the local Church. Factions had already formed around the missionary mentors named in 1:12 (Paul. Apollos, Cephas). Paul rebukes this partisan behavior of rallying behind one minister of the gospel over against others with the reminder that all of these men are servants of the same Jesus Christ, who alone grants salvation (1:13; 3:3-9, 21-23). This background explains why the first four chapters stress the crucial importance of unity among believers and the supreme allegiance we owe to Christ over every minister of the gospel.

Sometimes I think there are multiple denominations within each Christian.

More than that I think it is simply Paul warning Christians of their duty to remain united .
