Arrow What does dividing the house mean?

Today: What does dividing the house mean?

Note: By: Abraham Lincoln states;
-
On June 16, 1858, at the Illinois Republican convention in Springfield,
Abraham Lincoln kicked off his bid for the U.S. Senate with a speech
that would come to be known as the "House Divided" speech.
-
Divide the house is a parliamentary procedure that orders the counting
of votes. Such as - In a meeting. It is also known as divide the assembly -
or challenge the vote. This procedure is used when there is doubt about
the outcome of a voice vote.
-
b. What is the purpose of House Divided?
-
The "House Divided" speech opens the volume. Lincoln's remarks in Springfield
depict the danger of slavery-based disunion, and it rallied Republicans across
the North. Along with the Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural
address, the speech became one of the best-known of his career.
-
c. What is the significance of title a house divided?
-
c1. The title serves as a reminder that a divided house cannot stand strong,
and that unity and understanding are essential for social progress and
harmony.
-
Note: Why can a house divided not stand?
-
c2. Why Did Jesus Say 'A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand'?]
-
C2a [“Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or
house divided against itself will stand” (12:25). When there is major
division in any body, such as in a kingdom where leaders form opposing
sides of significant strength and influence, that kingdom will be destroyed
from the inside.]
&
C2b [Moreover, as Jesus pointed out, “If I cast out demons by Beelzebub,
by whom do your sons cast them out?” (v.27). If Jesus was Beelzebub,
surely the healers from their own ranks were also demons according to
the Pharisees’ argument.]
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: Earlier what this word meant to Christianity:
-
Note: C2a & C2b are Christianity relating to such outcomes:
The infection, which threatens to destroy our relationship with
God and our efficacy on mission comes from our own flesh,
and it rots our fruit.
-
Although the circumstances of Rome’s governance and the Pharisees’
religious hypocrisy were both forms of oppression, the individual has
to decide whether to face external sin with a sinful response or with
devotion to and faith in the Lord.
