I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. Romans 16:17-18
Division is not of God. God is love and unity. With God's unity comes peace and we must maintain that at all times. He is oneness and togetherness. Avoid anyone who tries to create dissension. Be leery of anything or anyone that tries to isolate you from others. We are strengthened when we are surrounded by other brothers and sisters in Christ for "iron sharpens iron" (Proverbs 27:17). We need to encourage and uplift one another so we can continue to press on for the Kingdom of God. Anything that comes to distract you is of the enemy. God is love, faith and hope.
