SCHISMATICS = HERETICS
"That there should be no schism in the Body+..."
How would you like it if your family were divided? Family feuds, rebellion, family divorce, abandonment, unfaithfulness, lawsuits over inheritances... modern tragedy as old as Cain and Abel.
The splitting apart of what The ELOHIM ordained to be a unit brings intense pain and turmoil. ALWAYS. [ Ask any child whose parents are divorcing, any 75-yr-old whose siblings won't speak to him. ]
How does it feel to YESHUA HA MASHIYACH+ when His+ BODY+ is split?
It feels about the same
as if your body were dismembered
.... and you lived to tell about it.
Originally, we were designed to be ONE, in a single BODY+ of YESHUA+... ONE with YESHUA+, Who+ made us ONE with The FATHER, by means of the ONENESS of THEIR SHARED HOLY SPIRIT... that we might be made ONE with THEM and with each other.
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with The FATHER, and with HIS SON+ YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH+. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. 1 John 1:3, 4

Enormous damage is done when the Christian camp is so divided. Moslems, Buddhists, Hindu, and all the tribal religions in between, watch in awe as we split and devour one another. No outreach is possible. A house divided against itself CANNOT stand.
[ The Greek manuscripts are nearly equally divided between "your joy" versus "our joy," according to Pierpont and Robinson, Greek Textform. Aramaic: ... "so that our joy that is in you would be full."

The above verse not only verifies the previous statement but is a case in point: the Greek Primacists and the Aramaic Primacists NEED EACH OTHER.
Here is a familiar Scripture that includes both the Greek and the Aramaic. Note the richness of these verses.
I therefore, the prisoner of The LORD, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness , humbleness of mind, and meekness, quietness, with long-suffering, forbearing, hold up one another in love, being eager, diligent to keep the unity, the alliance of The SPIRIT in the bond of peace. ... with the girdle of peace, as The SPIRIT is the bond or tie that brings peace.
So that you will be in ONE BODY+ and by ONE SPIRIT, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling.
For there is ONE LORD, one faith, one baptism, one ELOHIM and FATHER of all, WHO is above all and through all and in you, us all.
Now to each one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of MASHIYACH+.
Ephesians 4:1-7. Aramaic words which differ from the Greek text in BOLD type from Magiera's APNT.
These verses state the same BASIC Truth in both Greek and Aramaic. Most of the words and the grammar [ sentence structure] is the same or close to it. EVEN THE WORD PLAY is the same in both languages, bringing forth the SAME picture, the SAME MESSAGE to both camps... and to all readers.
Is the Scriptural message CLEAR ?
Yes.
Are we all..all..all
who follow
YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH+
who follow
YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH+
--- out of every kindred and tongue,
and people and nation ---
and people and nation ---
to be united,
to speak with the same VOICE+,
to issue the same GOOD NEWS ?
YES.
Well then, why is it
that WITH ONE ACCORD
we ALL disregard this passage
of very clear, very succinct Scripture ?
It is apparent by the innumerable websites on the Internet and by the footnotes in the "golden, historic, and best" Aramaic-English translation of the New Covenant that the ONLY agreement among Christians today is that it is OKAY TO DIVIDE THE BODY+ of YESHUA+, it is okay to DIVIDE The BODY+ of CHRIST.
Will YESHUA+ bless the factions
dividing His+ BODY+ ?
Will
The ELOHIM,
The Great Plural,
The Unified ECHAD,
bless those groups
making havoc
of HIS SON'S+ BODY+,
of HIS SON'S+ BODY+,
HIS Word-Made-Flesh
WHO+ dwelt among us ?
WHO+ dwelt among us ?
Does
The ELOHIM
EVER
bless those
who IGNORE HIS WORD
... and write
their own instructions ?
Is CHRIST DIVIDED ?
Is YESHUA+ DIVIDED ?
Are we Christians divided ?

Do you believe that ? The Early Christians believed it. They believed it for more than 200 years! That is why Novatian and his cohorts were declared heretics: they thought it okay to divide the house.
Why did Novatian... who wrote clearly and CORRECTLY about Christian doctrine... make his own "church?"
Novatian refused the ORDAINED leadership and wanted to be a leader himself, ignoring The HOLY WORD and ordinances laid down by the Apostles in Scriptures. Novatian refused to be corrected by the very Scriptures he defended !
Woe, woe , woe
to those who divide
the BODY+ OF CHRIST,
the BODY+ OF YESHUA+ HA MASHIYACH,+
in WHOM+
there is
there is
no division.
They will find themselves
with Novatian...
with Novatian...
outside the camp.
