The Most Divisive Man Who Ever Lived

Who is the most divisive man who ever lived?

I have been accused many times of being divisive and causing discord.  This is true of anyone who does what the most divisive man in history told his followers to do.

This man has caused empires to divide and explode into civil wars.  He has caused division and discord like this to occur through his teachings over the centuries in many places since he left the Earth.

This man inspired people like Abraham Lincoln to do the same with these teachings.  Abraham Lincoln without a doubt caused division that split the United States into two sides and caused much discord resulting in the explosive first American Civil War.

Abraham Lincoln caused this division by following the example of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).  The Man of Truth through his teachings and actions has no rival when it comes to creating division that causes discord.

The most divisive man who ever lived caused division when King Herod killed many children upon learning of his arrival on Earth (Matthew 2:16-18).  He caused discord when many others celebrated his arrival on Earth (Luke 2:25-38).

The most divisive man who ever lived came to cause families to become divided (Luke 12:51-53).  He came to cause such discord that some would be persecuted and killed by their own families as well as their friends (Luke 21:16).

The most divisive man who ever lived caused division among the religious leaders (John 9:16).  He caused so much discord that that those who followed him were put out by the synagogue and even killed by others as a religious duty (John 16:2).

The most divisive man who ever lived caused division among the common people (John 7:43).  He even caused discord among them while they were celebrating the dedication that had brought them unity (John 10:19-22).

The most divisive man who ever lived caused division when some of the people celebrated him as their king (Matthew 21:5-9).  He caused such discord that others would rather be ruled by a foreign ruler than have him as their king (John 19:12-15).

The most divisive man who ever lived caused so much division that his country was on the verge of breaking out in civil war (Matthew 27:24).  He had caused so much discord that the only way to prevent the country from being destroyed was to have him killed (John 11:47-50).

The most divisive man who ever lived caused division when many were calling for his death (Luke 23:23-24).  He caused discord when many others were weeping over his death (Luke 23:27).

The most divisive man who ever lived caused division when some of the religious leaders having his tomb sealed and guarded to keep him in (Matthew 27:62-66).  He caused discord when others made sure his tomb was fit for a king (Luke 23:50-53).

The most divisive man who ever lived caused division when some of the Jews believed that his disciples had stolen his body from the sealed and guarded tomb (Matthew 28:11-15).  He caused discord by appearing to many other Jews after his resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:4-7).

After he ascended back to Heaven, his followers were divisive and caused discord.

His followers caused division when they began speaking in tongues through the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) causing some at Pentecost to mock them as being drunk (Acts 2:1-13).  They caused discord by leading about three thousand people to become followers of the Man of Truth (Acts 2:38-41).

The Apostles of Truth caused division in the Temple when the religious leaders arrested them for preaching about the resurrection (Acts 4:1-3).  They caused discord when about five thousand of the people became followers of the Man of Truth (Acts 4:4).

The Apostles of Truth caused division in the Temple when they gave signs and wonders that caused many more to become followers of the Man of Truth (Acts 5:12-14).  They caused discord when they were arrested for preaching about him (Acts 5:17-18).

The Apostles of Truth caused division in the Temple by teaching the doctrine of the Man of Truth after an Angel of Truth freed them from prison (Acts 5:19-25).  They caused so much discord that the religious leader feared being killed by the people of Israel (Acts 5:26-28).

The Apostles of Truth caused division among the religious leaders so that some of these leaders wanted to kill them (Acts 5:29-33). They caused such discord among the religious leader that others advised to not risk fighting against the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) by persecuting them (Acts 5:34-39).

Stephen the Jew caused division where some of the religious leaders became followers of the Man of Truth (Acts 6:5-8).  He caused such discord that other religious leaders falsely accused him of blasphemy (Acts 6:9-14).

There was division in Israel after Stephen the Jew was killed where Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) caused the believers to be scattered throughout Israel (Acts 8:1-3).  This caused even more discord in Israel as the believers continued to preach about the Man of Truth everywhere they went (Acts 8:4).

There was division outside of Israel when Paul the Jew began preaching about the Man of Truth after encountering him outside of Damascus (Acts 9:17-22).  This caused so much discord that some of the Jews had to save Paul the Jew from other Jews who wanted to kill him (Acts 9:23-25).

There was more division in Jerusalem when Paul the Jew began preaching there (Acts 9:26-28).  This caused so much discord that some Jews had to save him from other Jews again (Acts 9:29-30).

Paul the Jew caused division between the believing Jews and the unbelieving Jews in the synagogue at Antioch Psidia when he preached the Gospel (Acts 13:43-45).  There was so much discord over the believing Gentiles that he and Barnabas the Jew were expelled from Psidia (Acts 13:46-50).

Paul the Jew and Barnabas the Jew caused so much division with the preaching of the Gospel among the Jews and Gentiles in Iconium that the entire city was divided (Acts 14:1-4).  There was so much discord that they had to flee for their lives to Lystra (Acts 14:5-6).

Paul the Jew and Barnabas the Jew caused division among the believers when they would not go along with the teaching - that the Gentile believers had to be circumcised and keep the customs of the Law of Truth - to get along those teaching these things (Acts 15:1-5).  There was so much discord among the believers over this, that letters had to be sent to tell the Gentile believers that they did not need to do these things - but that they only had to keep the commandments of righteousness (Acts 15:24-29).

Paul the Jew and Silas the Jew (Silvanus) caused division among the Gentiles by demonstrating the power of the Gospel that led to them being accused of troubling Phillipi by teaching people to break Roman law (Acts 16:12-21).  They caused so much discord that the magistrates had them beaten and imprisoned to prevent a riot (Acts 16:22-25).

Paul the Jew and Silas the Jew (Silvanus) caused division among the Jews in Thessaloniki that led to a riot (Acts 17:1-5).  They caused so much discord that they were accused of turning the world upside and breaking Roman law (Acts 17:6-8).

Paul the Jew caused division among the Jews in Corinth by testifying in the synagogue that the Man of Truth is Messiah (Acts 18:1-6).  He caused so much discord that insurrection was made against him (Acts 18:12-13).

Paul the Jew caused division among the Jews in Ephesus by arguing in the synagogue that the Man of Truth is Messiah (Acts 19:8-9).  He caused so much discord that the entire city went into a confused uproar (Acts 19:23-32).

Paul the Jew caused division among the Jews in Jerusalem by teaching that the Gentiles did not need to keep the customs of the Law of Truth (Acts 21:20-25).  He caused so much discord over his treatment of Gentiles that all of Jerusalem ended up in an uproar (Acts 21:26-31).

Paul the Jew caused division among the Sanhedrin over the resurrection (Acts 23:6-8).  He caused so much discord that the Romans had to use force to remove him (Acts 23:9-10).

Paul the Jew caused division among the Jewish religious leaders of Rome by showing from the Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) that the Man of Truth is Messiah (Acts 28:23-24).  He caused discord among them when he told them that the Gospel would be preached to the Gentiles (Acts 28:25-29).

So, were the Man of Truth and his followers sinning by doing this?

The followers of the Man of Truth have been called evil for causing division and discord everywhere they go (Acts 28:21-22).  People have even quoted scripture to show that the Father of Truth is against them for doing this.

However, the few verses that they quote only in part are taken out of context.  Since context is king, the context of that verse in the passage containing it gives a very different perspective.

It is the person who is talking behind the backs of other people to cause division who is called evil (Proverbs 16:27-30).  It is the evil person seeking to rebel against the Father of Truth who uses their words to cause division (Proverbs 17:9-11).

It is the person that is doing what is wicked in the eyes of the Father of Truth who is sowing discord to carry out their own schemes that is warned against (Proverbs 6:12-14).  They are also doing other things that the Father of Truth hates like lying about people when they sow discord among brothers (Proverbs 6:16-19).

These people create strife to transgress against the commandments of the Father of Truth (Proverbs 17:19-20).  They stir up strife because pride causes them to trust in their own hearts instead of the Father of Truth (Proverbs 28:25-26).

So, the Man of Truth and his followers were not sinning by causing division and discord.  They were doing what was right in the eyes of the Father of Truth.

It is those who stir up strife to get others to join them in rebellion against the Father of Truth who are sinning.  This often includes those who accuse the followers of the Man of Truth of sinning by being divisive.

Why has the Man of Truth and his followers been so divisive?

The Man of Truth did not come to bring peace but a sword that would cause division (Matthew 10:34-36).  That sword is the Word of the Father of Truth (Hebrews 4:12).

This is because doing what is right in the eyes of the Father of Truth is an abomination to those who do what is wicked in His eyes (Proverbs 29:27).  This sword divides those who want to do what is right in His eyes from those who do not (John 3:19-21).

So, when the Man of Truth spoke the Word of Truth it caused those who hated the Father of Truth to hate him (John 15:22-23).  However, it also separated those who loved the Father of Truth from everyone else (John 17:14-17).

Those who love the Father of Truth must be separated from everyone else because they cannot go along with evil to get along with evil doers when they are obeying Him (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).  They cannot be friends with both the Father of Truth and those who hate Him (James 4:4).

So, those who hate the Father of Truth separate themselves from the followers of the Man of Truth for doing the will of the Father of Truth just like they did with the Prophets of Truth (Luke 6:22-23).  They hate those who do what the Man of Truth commanded (John 15:17-20).

What the Man of Truth commanded was that his followers go to all ethnic groups and teach people to obey his commandments (Matthew 28:19-20).  They are to preach the same thing throughout the Earth that the Man of Truth preached that caused division and discord (Mark 16:15-16).

So, when the Word of Truth is spoken it causes division and discord among the hearers.  It separates those who delight in the manna from those who despise the manna.

In reality, it is false teachers who cause division and discord among the followers of the Man of Truth to get people to follow them instead of the Man of Truth (Acts 20:29-30).  They then accuse those who teach what the Man of Truth taught of causing division and discord among the believers to keep them from speaking the Word of Truth (3 John 1:9-10).

So, when someone is accused of being divisive and causing discord for teaching what the Man of Truth taught, it is because they are not going along with false teaching to get along with false teachers.  For this reason, I have been accused of being divisive and causing discord by false teachers as well as by those they have deceived.

Since everyone is divided by the Word of Truth, which side will you be on?

You cannot follow the Man of Truth without causing division and discord among other people.  You cannot follow the world without causing division and discord with the Father of Truth.

There is no middle ground.  You must choose, so choose wisely.

You do not have to do anything to cause division and discord with the Father of Truth, because everyone is in that condition until they choose to follow the Man of Truth (John 3:17-18).  The Father of Truth sent the Man of Truth to die for your sins, so you could switch sides (Romans 5:8-10).

You switch sides by committing to obey the Man of Truth in everything because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).  Then you will become divisive to those who hate the Father of Truth (Colossians 1:10-13).

Come into the House of Truth!
