Insight into My Brain

Alright, please read this with an open mind. I am going to fully explain myself so, if you don't agree with what I'm saying, please by all means don't just stop reading. Read till the end.
Today I did some thinking. And we all know when I think and run into a problem, I must stop doing whatever I'm doing and research, ask others there thoughts on the subject, and so on.
Okay, so here it is.
In my Cultural Perspectives class we are learning about Martin Luther, Calvinism, The Council of Trent, and Roger Williams. They all have different beliefs of faith and works and other little things.
So, I'm sitting in class just listening and taking notes about all these different beliefs like Protestantism and Catholism. Then I started thinking about how Christians have so many different denominations. We have the methodists, Catholics, Baptists, Episcopalians, Non-Denominational, Protestant, Presbyterian, and so on.
BUT
Christ came to Earth and directly and plainly said what we as Christians are supposed to believe. He got His disciples to write it all down for Him so we would know what to believe is true.
SO, why is it that we have all these different denominations of Christianity?
I feel like the question I and many others ask in college is.."Ohh you're a Christian? What denomination are you?" WHY DO WE DO THIS?
Did God mean for all of us to read the Bible and interpret it all different ways? I don't believe so.
It's making me go crazy!
I asked my Professor and he said, "Lindsay that's a very good point. Why don't you bring it up in class next time."
Excuse me, but that was not an answer...Haha!
Alright people, that was just a little look into my brain right now. If you have any thoughts on the subject or want to talk to me about it let me know!! I'd love to know your thoughts!
Thanks! And Love to all :)
