Praise God. This was by design and a direct answer to the dark ages.

So what do you make of John 17:11, 21, 22, 23; 1 Cor 1:10? Are our divisions in keeping with the heart of Christ and the exhortation of Paul, or not?

What? Since the Dark Ages ended BEFORE 1100, and the USA was born only in 1776, how could you say one was the “direct” answer to the other?

Also, why praise God when fractionalism doesn’t come from Him? Jesus prayed that all Christians would be one. Does the opening post suggest that’s the case?

No, this is the Dark Ages.

If God is one and truth is one, then it follows that 378 of these denominations are teaching error and falsehood. Perhaps with the best of intentions, but falsehood, nonetheless.
