Wrong. Impossible that there can be a civil war in the Bride of Christ. Rather disruption of embedded infidels, yes. Not war.

If not a civil war than what? I would compare it to a cancer. Some of the cells have become malignant and threaten the life of the body. Even the brain is affected as the cancer spreads into the intellectual centers of the Church. The heart is still healthy but because of the strict hierarchy, the death of the brain threatens the entire body.

Remember what happened in the Bible after the death of King Solomon and the break-up of Israel into two kingdoms?

So that makes me correct.

Wrong: some disagreement of limited scope can exist btwn believers in the bridge of Christ, but there are no infidels therein. For the only one true church is the spiritual body of Christ, (Colossians 1:18) to which He is married, (Ephesians 5:25) the "household of faith," (Galatians 6:10) since it uniquely only and always consists 100% of true believers, and which spiritual body of Christ is what the Spirit baptizes ever believer into.(1Co. 12:13)

Meanwhile organic fellowships in which they express their faith inevitably become admixtures of wheat and tares, with Catholicism and liberal Protestantism being mostly the latter.
