In Matt.12:25 Jesus is reported as having said; "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself shall not stand".
Judaism, Islam and Christianity believe in one God [one king(dom)] . They are however deeply divided. To make matters worse, the biggest of the three, Christianity is further paralised by deep divisions within it. Does this mean that soon, the kingdom will be on its knees?

I understand the connection you are drawing between these three religions however you must keep in mind that these three religions are like three houses that had the same builder.
As for Christianity being divided this can not be denied. Does this mean it will fall? I don't think so. At least not on the grounds that you are talking. The reason is most Christians do not know what is written in the bible. They never read it and could honestly care less. What they care about is their job, social life, material objects & money. Only as a side bar the God thing which is a once a week ritual.
Keep in mind when Jesus was demanded when the kingdom of God would come he said the kingdom of God is within you! Luke 17:20 - 21.
Which means if that kingdom is to fall it would be a change in how the person thinks not in what a man made religion does! Much of the bible is metaphoric and the rest is rooted in the sociology of the time those texts were written.

3 Learning about God’s Kingdom is of the greatest urgency now, as soon that Kingdom will take action to change forever the rulership of this earth. Daniel 2:44 foretells: “In the days of those kings [governments now ruling] the God of heaven will set up a kingdom (in heaven) that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people [humans will never again rule the earth]. It will crush and put an end to all these [present] kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.”
God’s Kingdom is—in heaven. That is why the Bible calls it a “heavenly kingdom.” (2 Timothy 4:18.) Although God’s Kingdom is in heaven, it will rule over the earth.—Revelation 11:15 - First, it tells us that God’s Kingdom was to be established “in the days of those kings,” or while other kingdoms still existed. Second, it tells us that the Kingdom will last forever. It will not be conquered and be replaced by some other government. Third, we see that there will be war between God’s Kingdom and the kingdoms of this world. God’s Kingdom will be victorious. In the end, it will be the only government over mankind. Then humans will enjoy the best rulership they have ever known. A kingdom is a government that is headed by a king. God’s Kingdom is a special government. It is set up in heaven and will rule over this earth. 6. Now the earth is divided up into many countries. Each has its own government. These nations often fight one another. But God’s Kingdom will replace all human governments. It will rule as the only government over the entire earth.

Ah! of course they're all divided. You think that what you've read about is good, true, and of God. and then you look at what's the result and it's all gone to **** and you still think it's got some truth somewhere there...what's wrong with YOU?
Wake up.
Personally, I believe and trust God totally. But everything that's gone through the hands of two men or women...sayings, written words, pronouncements...? grow the **** up, p lease.
Trust God, but not anybody anybody anybody who tells you what religion to practice or how to believe, and YOU either totally read the Bible or the Koran and throw your lot in with the other murderers...
or totally leave it alone. God will do what God will do, and if I were you I'd look out and not be in any of those messed-up places.
If you want to be ina blessed place maybe you should go to a Samoan island somewhere, or live in the desert. Except you'd probably do like all the other goofies who've walked down off mountains or out of the desert with a message that 'God talked to me and told me that you all should do as I tell you...'and start another war...
aw, trust God but grow up. all the rest is politics. I bet that you can't go too far wrong if you just pay more attention to the real world and let God do His work. If God needed you to do His work,
he's be useless.
The reason it's all screwed up is that God isn't in charge: that's your hint. And there isn't anything YOU can do about that.Mind your own heart.

The religion GOD choose for the whole mankind is Islam and by GOD it will never fall. It's true we are going through a tough period right now, but all this will end soon. With the coming of Al-Mahdi and Jesus, the Kingdom of GOD/Islam will rule the world for some time before the world ends. Jesus will tell all the Christians that they have got His message all distorted and wrong and destroy all these false churches. He will defeat the Dajjal/Anti-Christ and become the Muslim leader for some time before the world ends.

Even so, Christians are pulled together by one common, but crucial, belief: Jesus is the Son of God. If a religion doesn't believe this, it's not a part of Christianity, it's a part of Judaism, or, people who only believe in God. All divisions, Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, etc., are believers in Jesus. That's what makes you a Christian.
Aside from this, God's kindom will never fall. There's a verse that says: All the things of this earth will soon pass away but God's kindom reigns forever.

Gods Kingdom is forever, Satan's kingdom will come to a sorry end and so will the end of age and the end for all unbelievers. Do you have your ticket to Heaven?If not ask Jesus to come in your life. Jesus does exist.

You never have heard of Ecumenism have you. Christians don't hate each other, we live in peace and agree to disagree. The only differences we have are some small differences in ritual.
