QUESTION: Why was the church of Christ divided?
ANSWER: In had been prophesied that such would happen (Acts 20:28-30; I
Timothy 4:1-4; II Timothy 4:3-4; II Peter 2:1-3). These passages (and others)
clearly tell us “why” division occurs. It occurred in the first century and in our
generation as well! When false teachers are permitted to bring in “damnable
heresies” unauthorized by God’s Word (most recently; worldly entertainment,
instruments of music, missionary societies, etc.) and when people, having itching
ears, heap these teachers to themselves, refusing rather to “try” them, disciples
will be drawn away and division will occur.
Though divisions are sure to come, we can be assured that His church; His
kingdom shall have no end (Luke 1:33)!
