What did our LORD say about "division" over doctrine even within the "household" as it were?

[quote]hink not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36 And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.[/quote]

Jesus says his presence would cause division. This happens when something so pure enters an impure environment. This doesn't mean division should be our goal. In the beginning, it was not so. The only person/entity who should take pride in division is the devil.

Jack Chick is out to lunch on many things. It's best to ignore him.

From Wikipedia:
[quote]Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is the name of a number of past and present fraternal organizations in the United States that have advocated white supremacy, anti-Semitism, racism, [b]anti-Catholicism[/b], homophobia, and nativism. These organizations have often promoted the use of terrorism, violence and acts of intimidation such as cross burning to oppress African Americans and others.

The Klan's first incarnation was in 1866. Founded by veterans of the Confederate Army, its main purpose was to resist Reconstruction, and it focused as much on intimidating "carpetbaggers" and "scalawags" as on putting down the freed slaves.[/quote]
The Confederate Army was the army of the south, an area which was heavily protestant. Wikipedia quotes from a book written about the KKK in Indiana.

[quote][b]Klansmen were Protestants, of course[/b], but they cannot be described exclusively or even predominately as fundamentalists. In reality, [b]their religious affiliations mirrored the whole of white Protestant society[/b], including those who did not belong to any church.[/quote]

[quote]Ever notice how the KKK logos match logos of a certain other group?[/quote]
And? Ever notice how you can find the face of Richard Nixon in a potato chip? You see what you want to see. You use innuendo to draw a false conclusion. Historical facts tie the KKK to Protestantism directly to the KKK. No innuendo required.

[Translation]

Illustrious and honorable sir, greeting:

We have lately received with all kindness, as was meet, the gentlemen sent by your Excellency to present to us your letter dated on the 23d of last September. We have received certainly no small pleasure in learning both from these gentlemen and from your letter the feelings of gratification and of very warm appreciation with which you, illustrious and honorable sir, were moved when you first had knowledge written in October of the preceding year to the venerable brethren, John, archbishop of New York, and John, archbishop of New Orleans, in which we again and again urged and exhorted those venerable brethren that because of their exemplary piety and episcopal zeal they should employ their most earnest efforts, in our name also, in order that the fatal civil war which had arisen in the States should end, and that the people of America might again enjoy mutual peace and concord, and love each other with mutual charity. And it has been very gratifying to us to recognize illustrious and honorable sir, that you and your people are animated by the same desire for peace and tranquillity, which we had so earnestly inculcated in our aforesaid letters to the venerable brethren above named. Oh, that the other people also of the States and their rulers, considering seriously how cruel and how deplorable is this internecine war, would receive and embrace the counsels of peace and tranquillity. We indeed shall not cease with most fervent prayer to beseech God, the best and highest, and to implore Him to pour out the spirit of Christian love and peace upon all the people of America, and to rescue them from the great calamities with which they are afflicted. [size=4]And we also pray the same most merciful Lord that he will illumine your Excellency with the light of His divine grace and [u]unite you with ourselves[/u] in perfect charity.[/size]

[size=4]Given at Rome at St. Peters on the 3d December, 1863, in the eighteenth year of our pontificate.

PIUS P. P. IX.[/size]

Or Jude, one of Jesus's biological half brothers?

[quote]Jude 1:3 (KJV) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

[b]4 For there are certain men crept in unawares,[/u] who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.[/b][/quote]

Or Revelation

[quote]Revelation 2:2 (KJV) I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear[b] them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.[/quote],

Methinks you are living in a fairy tale world, the apostolic ERA ITSELF, might have another 15 versese warning that RIGHT THEN AND NOW, INSIDE the church, were apostates. It was happening while the apostles are still alive.

All examples of division and strengthen my case for its poisonous nature. These are not things we strive for. These are cautionary notes about the cancerous effects of division. It's arguments against division, not for it.

It is not surprising someone who relies on [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prooftexting"]prooftexting[/url] misunderstands "In the beginning, it was not so." "In the beginning" means before the fall of man, not the beginning of Christian history.

I know this is swept under the carpet, but many have noted that Lincoln was assasinated by a cabal of Roman Catholics, working with the Jesuits who deeply hated Lincoln and wanted revenge for an event that happened long before, when young Abe, and attorney in Illinois took on and defended Fr. Charles PT Chiniquy who was an HONEST priest, being railroaded by the corrupt heiracry, who wanted sexual infidelites, financial shenanigans and the like hidden while Chiniquey was a stalwart HONEST priest who was being sued in trumped up charges by the Catholic Church. Lincoln, despite the death threats at teh time from the Roman Catholics, took the case pro-bono, WON, when the Jesuits and Priests were CAUGHT lying and all fled town in the middle of the trial. The Jesuits swore revenge, and apparently years later, using the pretext of the South, were able to get their agents maneuvered into a position to assasinate teh president, EXACTLY as Chinequey had written to Lincoln, EVERY SINGLE year from the date of teh trial, even to the time he was in the Whitehouse warning him.

[quote]

In 1891 John G. Nicolay, Lincoln's former secretary, received a note from Benedict Guldner, a Jesuit priest in New York, asking for information about a "libellous pamphlet" printed in Germany. The pamphlet, according to Guldner, was a translation of a work "originally written in this country ... in which the author maintains that the assassination of President Lincoln was the work of Jesuits." Nicolay and John Hay, another former secretary to the President, had not mentioned the allegation in their biography of Lincoln, and Guldner wished to know if they had heard the charge and if they considered it false. [1] Nicolay consulted Hay, and then replied:

To [y]our first question whether in our studies on the life of Lincoln we came upon the charge that "the assasination of President Lincoln was the work of Jesuits", we answer that we have read such a charge in a lengthy newspaper publication.
To your second question, viz: "If you did come across it, did the accusation seem to you to be entirely groundless?", we answer Yes.
It seemed to us so entirely groundless as not to merit any attention on our part. [2]

Perhaps the decision of Nicolay and Hay to ignore the charge of a Jesuit conspiracy against Lincoln was unwise. A prompt and firm denial might have prevented further publication of the story. [3]

The originator of the conspiracy theory was Charles P.T. Chiniquy, a former Catholic priest who claimed to be a close friend and confidant of Abraham Lincoln's. According to Chiniquy, "emissaries of the Pope" were plotting to murder Lincoln for his defense of Chiniquy in an 1856 trial. Chiniquy's autobiography, Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, published in 1885, attributes remarks to the President on a variety of subjects, particularly religion. [4] Most of Chinquy's stories are so foreign to what is known about the Sixteenth President that scholars have ignored them. Nevertheless, many of the less sensational portions of Chiniquy's reminiscences have been used by serious students of Lincoln's life, and the most sensational passages have been widely quoted and disseminated by writers engaged in anti-Catholic polemics.

Charles Paschal Telesphore Chiniquy was born on July 30, 1809, in Kamouraska, Quebec. As a young man he was ordained a priest in the Roman Catholic church, and his labors to stamp out drunkenness caused him to be known throughout Quebec as "The Apostle of Temperance". [5] In 1851 he moved to Kankakee County, Illinois, to serve a colony of French-Canadians who had migrated there. Chiniquy got into difficulty with his bishop, resigned his position in the church in 1860, and with some of his former parishioners established a new church. In time Chiniquy became a Presbyterian minister and published many books and pamphlets with an anti-Catholic theme. He also lectured extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Australia on the evils of Roman Catholicism. He died in Montreal on January 16, 1899. [6]

[b]It was while he lived in Illinois in the 1850s that Chiniquy met Abraham Lincoln. According to Chiniquy's Fifty Years in the Church of Rome, he hired Lincoln to defend him against a charge of personal immorality; the charge, Chiniquy said, had been brought by his enemies in the Catholic Church. Chiniquy won the case, thereby incurring the wrath of the Jesuits. By Chiniquy's account, when the verdict came in, Lincoln said; "I know that Jesuits never forgive nor forsake. But man must not care how or where he dies, provided he dies at the post of honor and duty." [7]

Chiniquy claimed that he later met with[/b] Lincoln on three different occasions in Washington. The first interview, he said, took place at the White House "at the end of August" in 1861. Chiniquy had learned from another former priest of an assassination plot against President Lincoln, and considered it his duty to warn him. Chiniquy reported that Lincoln received him cordially and then made the following lengthy statement:
[i]
[b] Your friends, the Jesuits, have not yet killed me. But they would have surely done it, when I passed through their most devoted city, Baltimore, had I not defeated their plans, by passing incognito, a few hours before they expected me. We have the proof that the company which had been selected and organized to murder me, was led by a rabid Roman Catholic, called Byrne; it was almost entirely composed of Roman Catholics ... A few days ago, I saw Mr. [Samuel F.B.] Morse, the learned inventor of electric telegraphy; he told me that, when he was in Rome ... he found out the proofs of a formidable conspiracy against this country and all its institutions. It is evident that it is to the intrigues and emissaries of the pope, that we owe, in great part, the horrible civil war which is threatening to cover the country with blood and ruins.[/b] [/i][8][/quote]

Yeah, when in doubt, you can always turn to the inestimable Jack Chick for reliable and sound historical information! (Don't listen to what them highfalootin' history books might tell you - old Jack always knows the [i]real[/i] story of what happened!)

I love the way he pulls "facts" out of thin air - "The KKK was created by Jesuits following their failure in the Civil War . . ." No evidence given whatsoever to back up this astounding claim! (But according to Mr. Chick, with his infinite store of hidden knowledge, the Vatican founded the Communist and Nazi Parties also - that's right, both parties - and made them fight each other just for kicks.)
Well, it's a good thing we whupped them dirty, no-good Jesuits in the War Between the States! (Which side did they fight with anyway?)

(I had always personally been under the impression that the KKK was really secretly created by giant cockroaches from the planet Gyron as part of an elaborate plot to conquer the Earth by getting all the Earthlings to kill one another.)

So the Catholics founded a vehemently anti-Catholic group just to make anti-Catholics look bad! Brilliant stategy!

And, wait, we have proof that the KKK is Roamin' Cath-lick, 'cause they have a red-and-white coss logo! Can't refute that proof there!
I guess we'd better watch out for the Red Cross, too, then! I'll bet every drop collected in their "blood drives" is used for sinister satanic Jesuit vampire blood rites!

Considering that John Wilkes Booth (an Episcopal) was a member of the anti-Catholic Know-Nothings Party, your story doesn't have a whole lot of traction. You might as well blame the Episcopal Church for Booth's misdeeds. Or maybe you should blame the Quakers, since that's who gave him his education. Or maybe we should blame the Baptists, since another conspirator, Lewis Powell, was the son of a Baptist minister.

Or, maybe we should just believe every half-baked anti-Catholic tale that is presented to us...
