A group of people cannot be working against each other and have a prayer of surviving. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%203:24-25&version=NIV 2009-09-15T11:32:53-05:00 Jesus says that a kingdom that is divided against itself cannot stand and neither can a house that is divided against itself. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2012:25&version=NIV 2009-08-18T14:33:31-05:00 It's a famous quotation of Jesus' that Abraham Lincoln appropriated during the Civil War: A house divided against itself cannot stand. Jesus said this in reference to the claim that he drove out demons in the name of Beelzebub. How could a group--or house--of people be so divided against itself and still function? How could one by the power of Beelzebub cast out Beelzebub's servants?
