Bible Note: Tim Me! :-) Your right disagreements did occur but the best we know the church came out united. It remained united until the church split east and west more over politics than doctrine. It remained that way until the reformation and now it has fractured into thousands of factions. My concern is not for the church surviving though it may one day should the Lord tarry become a factor but more for the image it has before the world. Denominational infighting is becoming a serious problem in the missions field. I understand the denominational infighting threw open the door for the Jehovah Witnesses in Russia, and in Latin and South America the confusion over which denomination is right is all but stagnating some evangelism.
