 Which denomination is right? Why are there so many Christian groups or churches? They either fighting with each other, contending, arguing and then believe that they have to be unified?

It showed me that things in this world are temporary and to maintain something, requires continued attention and diligence. It is just like staying fit, exercise must continue else the “fit state” diminishes.
