OLAADEGBU:Churches split because they are organisations the term "organisation" was coined to describe structured bodies made up of humans it comes from same root term as "organisms" organisms have a purposeful structure that allows it live for as long as possible there is a constant threat of extermination facing all organisms In order to persist in life, the organism has to constantly modify -self correct itself it typically achieves this by splitting in order to grow, "splitting" for offsprings that will bear its hopefully modified DNA, and (or) "splitting" away from its parts that stalls its progress Jesus puts it this way: "He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit in me, and he cuts back every branch that does produce fruit, so that it might produce more fruit." It is therefore only natural that if people do not share the same vision they will split from each other as time goes on And If both have strong visions they will both grow in their separate paths, otherwise the one or both will fizzle out How can healing occur after a church split?"the healing is in the vision, and in the journey of the vision just as Abraham after his split with Lot brought healing to some of the lands he journeyed through However for the party or parties that lack vision and so hold on to anger they are like branches tossed into everlasting fire with the worms of anguish ceaselessly eating them alive |

When the .Movement is dominated by personal Motives, the will always be split. The people are backsliding and deviating from the Character of Christ. They should go back to accepting the team spirit for eternal life and put Christ first in all their deliberations. May God help them with Understanding IJN Amen. |

I believe the major pointer is MOTIVE. If the motive for the splits can be ascertained, then the splits could be avoided. I reckon that most of the splits in churches are as a result of incorrect motives e.g Fame,Money,Power etc. I think Christians should come together and unite. |
