Christian denominations are distinct groups within Christianity that have different beliefs, practices, and interpretations of the Bible. These denominations often arise from historical, cultural, and theological differences. Some of the major denominations include Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodoxy, each with its own traditions and governance. Within Protestantism, there are many sub-denominations, such as Baptists, Methodists, and Lutherans. Each of these groups may emphasize different aspects of faith, such as the importance of baptism or the role of grace. Despite their differences, all Christian denominations share a belief in Jesus Christ as the central figure of their faith.
