He also says that “Satan is having a heyday bringing division into the church.”


Why do people think division is a bad thing?

Luk 12:51 Do you think I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I have come to divide people against each other!

As always, get your Bibles out and read it in context.

The CEV renders the latter part of the verse as “I came to make people choose sides.” The last word (or phrase in this version) is a translation of Greek diamerismon, which literally means a partition.

John 17:11 "And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are."
