The
cause of the emergence of various denominations exist in Christianity,
among others, ranging from doctrinal issues to personal problems. Dissatisfaction
and dissent is often the reason to break away from the mother church
and form the ideal church denomination adopted by understanding. The separation of denominations led to the emergence of a new group
that is considered apostasy, cults, sects or misguided: the means, not
the legitimate versions of Christianity.According
to the World Christian Encyclopedia, by David B. Barrett, denominations
who claim themselves as Christian in 2001 amounted to about 33,000
denominations and sects. Then in 2007 this number to around 39,000 and is likely to increase any denomination or sect can not be denied.This

historical and doctrinal: Eastern Group (Eastern Orthodox), a group of
Western (Catholic), Protestant (actually split from the Catholic, but
now has color separately), and a group that is considered to deviate from the teachings of the Christian Legal. In another article, the topic of this church music history will

group's envoy, which Cardinal Humbert, on July 16, 1054, put the
document condemnation ('anathema') and the exclusion of the Patriarch
Michael Kerularios and all who sympathize with him. This
curse is based because the Eastern Church (four regions) have separated

Church. But
