So I don't believe your claim that "most Christians seem to think there is no problem with having so many different denominations." And I certainly don't buy your reason on why your version is correct.
Thinking it is a problem doesn't necessarily mean they think it's a big enough problem to bring one's salvation into question. There are many, many people who say that as long as one confesses Christ, then that is all that matters. They will most likely quote this verse, as well:
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
EDIT: And yes, I'm saying that confessing Christ means nothing at all, and that most in nominal Christendom are not saved at all (though everyone is saved eventually, so salvation ultimately isn't in question).
Not in the stricter sects like those I mentioned, but in general I've found this to be true.
Where in my logic do you find fault? If the book itself says there can be no contradiction, and I am easily able to contradict these 40,000 sects, yet I can't be contradicted, then one is obviously correct and the others are obviously wrong.
You don't necessarily have to buy into it yourself, but you can at least acknowledge that what I'm saying might be true.
