Why are there so many sects when it comes to the devotees of Jesus?

[ThaChozenWun]

Like in the area of politics, Christians and Christian groups can be divided into conservative and liberal wings, according to their belief systems. Their teaching on abortion access, origins of the earth and the rest of the universe, equal rights for gays and lesbians, and same-sex marriage, are four indicators of their location on the liberal- conservative continuum.

Fundamentalists, other Evangelical Protestants, Roman Catholics, and Eastern Orthodoxy, and such varied groups as the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Unification Church, etc. generally form the conservative wing;

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Progressive Christianity, Evolutionary Christianity, United Church of Christ, United Church of Canada and others form the liberal wing.

Often, a third, mainline wing is added, composed of such denominations as: American Baptist Churches in the USA, Presbyterian Church (USA), United Methodist Church, Episcopal Church, etc.

The best I have is basically they all cant agree on certain areas of the bible and some make up their own beliefs and interpretations leading to different sects, the only true similarity is the belief in Jesus and God to sum it up clearer.

because of sin, mainly...

The Bible tells are there are to be no divisions. Is Christ into different groups and various sects?

Somewhat, but it probably is more so due to the fact people see him differently.

one thing you should also remember is that some of the denominations have to do with organizational issues beyond the theology, or simple labeling differences (such as there being no great difference between Anglicans and Episcopalians)
