Matthew 12:24 When they heard of Jesus expelling the demon out of a man the wicked pharisees, said it is by being a demon that he expells demons. Jesus reply I thought was interesting.
"Every kingdom divided against itself comes to desolation and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
I would think that includes religions that have become divided?
If they are fighting against each other, wouldn't that religion become desolation?

Now I exhort YOU, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that YOU should all speak in agreement, and that there should not be divisions among YOU, but that YOU may be fitly united in the same mind and in the same line of thought.

Christianity, as a whole, has caused many millions to be killed. The 30 years war alone had 55 million casualties as protestants and catholics came to blows. Thats its desolation. In Iraq, different Islamic factions kill each other every day. that is its desolation. While kingdoms have fallen and become independent nations, religions as a whole have fallen and become denominations. The result for both is, of course, mass killings.

Wow, ok... that became an extremely good distance of asserting we want a clean faith. in spite of the undeniable fact that, I do accept as true with that for the time of a feeling. How approximately coaching those that we are God. interior the commencing up God created guy (us) and now it relatively is guy (us) who God is residing interior and we are to accomplish God's legacy be it hate or love. it relatively is as much as us to attain we are making ourselves people. we are actually not human we are Gods. There are not any circumstances, no regulations, it is our heaven and we are able to do with it what we p.c. and because we've humanized ourselves we don't make tremendously intelligent selections on the 2d!!! as quickly as we take the administration we've over our lives issues gets extra helpful. For we are on top of issues. We in basic terms tell our selves we have no administration.

All religions are divided against themselves, that is they all interpret the teachings of God in differing ways.
Yet they still stand. The answer is obviously yes.

good question.
apply that to christianity.
all derived from one cult book.
yet, hundreds of denominations that cannot agree on it, cannot agree on how to worship together, cannot agree on what parts of the bible are literal, and which aren't; and they are constantly at odd with each other. the episcopals are even splitting now -- why? because some of them have such a strong deisre to hate, and the others are inclusive and loving of all persons...
total nonsense.

Jesus often spoke in metaphors but think about it, a house (a church) and well just look at iran and iraq sunni's and shiites.

You are a really stupid person, I'm just guessing someone supports you maybe your daddy. Someone as stupid as you surely could not support herself. But you go on with your finger pointing self-righteous self. I spent too much time with you already.
