It's all normal From Chat-GPT
Q. Aas there ever been a religious denomination lasting at least 100 years that did not have a split?
A. Throughout history, it is rare to find a religious denomination that has lasted for 100 years without experiencing any form of split or schism. Most major religious traditions and denominations have encountered doctrinal disagreements, leadership conflicts, or other issues leading to splits or the formation of new sects. Well the twobies have already had 2 splits, Irvine's group, Cooney group and the 2x2 group. So wonder what the next one will be called!

A method does not save, Jesus saves. Not of our own works lest any man should boast. Jesus saves through his method of preaching as Itinerant preacher of the gospel. Jesus said to the apostles, “As my Heavenly Father hades sent me so, I am sending you in the same manner.” Read Matthew 10; Luke 10. Jesus said, “Foxes have hoes, the birds of the air have their own nests but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head!” Jesus went preaching in faith and people who listen to his message would welcome him and his apostles into their homes to feed them foods and places to sleep over nights. Read Matthew 6 that is how God the Father takes care the birds 🦅 and the flowers in the fields so, God has ways and means to take care Jesus and His true servants, who went forth in Faith. Preaching the gospel. If the servants follow God’s apple 🍎 pie receipt then the products will come out excellent as He had in mind. However, if people change God’s method and the ingredients of the pie the result will be a flop! and the taste will not be the same. That's not what preaching means Nathan. When you can preach to your customers for a year without using words like God Jesus Bible Heaven Hell ect ect and they are inspired by you only then will you understand what Jesus meant by spreading the gospel. I'll give you a hint, you don't need to use any words at all........ Let's see how long before this post gets deleted!.

I'll give you a hint, you don't need to use any words at all........ Let's see how long before this post gets deleted!. Words can play a part but I agree that a big part of preaching the gospel is without words. Consider this: An occupying Roman soldier demands that a Jew carries his pack for a mile, as he's entitled to do under Roman law. The Jew happily carries the load for mile without a scow, just a smile. Just as the soldier is about to take it back the Jew says "I'll carry it for another mile". I'm thinking that would be very powerful. It would turn a slave into a volunteer. And the Roman would wonder what is within the Jew that would make him behave that way. Maybe it could lead to a relationship like this: Luke 7:2 A centurion there had a slave whom he valued highly and who was ill and close to death. 3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. 4 When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.”

Words do play a part but not in the manner Nathan associates with preaching. What I am trying to tell Nathan is to over deliver but under sell. Currently all he can associate with the word preach is repesting religous buzz words orally, he's selling something totally unrelated to good news........

I think there’s going to be a split. It’s already started.

I think, to varying degrees in different countries, there may be an implosion of sorts. This depends on how educated and informed the people are.
