is sectarianism correct?

Answer 1

If you believe in something than definitely all others won't follow you blindly. So as long as people think there will be secterianism, you like it or not.

Answer 2

No. Jesus prayed on the night that he was handed over to suffering and death that His followers be "one", even as He and His Father are one."

Besides - the Creeds of Christendom say that the Church is "one, holy, catholic and apostolic".

The word "Kathholikos" means "according the the whole" - undivided, indivisible. The Creeds know of only ONE Church - not a "Catholic" Church and a "Protestant" Church - and certainly not 1,000 different "brands of Protestantism.

Kath = "according to" Holos or Holon = "the whole".

Sectarianism in Christianity is definitely NOT "correct".

Answer 3

Not within the Messianic/Christian community. Jesus openly preached against it. See Mark 9:38-41 and Luke 9:49-50. Also, Jesus' fervent prayer to the Father at John 17 reinforces His desire that we all remain "one."

Paul reinforced this teaching at 1 Cor. 1:10-17 and 1 Cor. 3:1-4.

Answer 5

2 Timothy 4: 3&4: "3 For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories"

2 Timothy 3:1-5: "3 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.

I will have to say...of course not! In Revelation, one of the first things mentioned is a warning to the congregations about sects. There is one truth.

Revelation 2:5 & 6: “‘Therefore remember from what you have fallen, and repent and do the former deeds. If you do not, I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. 6 Still, you do have this, that you hate the deeds of the sect of Nic·o·la′us, which I also hate."

Excerpt from the book 'Revelation..It's Grand Climax at Hand'
9 Nevertheless, Jesus has this encouraging word for the Ephesians: “Still, you do have this, that you hate the deeds of the sect of Nicolaus, which I also hate.” (Revelation 2:6) At least they hated sectarian division, just as the Lord Jesus Christ hates it. As the years went by, however, many congregations failed to heed those words of Jesus. Lack of love for Jehovah, for the truth, and for one another resulted in their drifting into spiritual darkness. They became fragmented into numerous quarreling sects. “Christian” copyists who had no love for Jehovah removed God’s very name from Greek manuscripts of the Bible. Lack of love also allowed room for teaching Babylonish and Grecian doctrines, such as hellfire, purgatory, and the Trinity, in the name of Christianity. Having no love for God and for the truth, most of those who claimed to be Christian ceased to preach the good news of God’s Kingdom. They came to be dominated by a selfish clergy class that made its own kingdom here on earth.—Compare 1 Corinthians 4:8.

10 When judgment started with the house of God in 1918, the sectarian clergy of Christendom were giving open support to World War I, urging Catholics and Protestants on both sides to slaughter one another. (1 Peter 4:17) Unlike the Ephesian congregation that hated what the sect of Nicolaus was doing, Christendom’s religions had long been riddled with conflicting, anti-God doctrines, and their clergy had thrown their lot in with the world, of which Jesus said his disciples must be no part. (John 15:17-19) Their congregations, ignorant of the Bible’s theme, God’s Kingdom, were not lampstands beaming forth Scriptural truth, nor were their members part of the spiritual temple of Jehovah. Their leading men (and women) were not stars but were revealed to be members of “the man of lawlessness.”—2 Thessalonians 2:3; Malachi 3:1-3.
