the division is between the believer and unbeliever, to the elect and the lost, between those that do the will of the Father and those who do the will of Satan.
Please read John 17 and 1 Corinthians 1 and tell me if divisions within those that claim the name of Christian is God’s will?
I live in South Jersey and in my town, within a two mile area, we have a Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, SDA, JW, AOG, and 2 “independent” churches. Now, if you think that is what Luke 12 is referring to, i am sure Jesus must be very pleased then.

Don’t expect the poster to comprehend what these groups have in common. It is very Catholic to ignore the catholic-ness of all who profess the Jesus of the Bible as Lord and Savior, for such Catholics are advocating for their institution, whereas catholics are advocating for the Savior. There are lots and lots of catholics in the Catholic faith. I know many. There are also lots of institutionalized Catholics attending mass who need more than anything to trust in the Savior instead of an institution which cannot save them.

First the Heavenly Father is in control, and He allows what He will.

Christ set the standard/path as the 'bridegroom' as to how one measures whether the 'division' be of and from Him.

Christ did not ever hand off to another flesh/physical being His place of 'Saviour' and authority to hand out or pass out salvation. And if the flesh being claims to have said power and authority they are deceived and are deceivers. NOT one of we in a flesh body saves anyone else.
