Most of Watchman Nee's and Witness Lee's teachings could have been maintained without creating division had it not been for Lee's sectarian spirit. Instead of holding his doctrines with humility he saw himself as being unique. All other Christian organizations were merely human. Lee supposed that his group was uniquely of God.
I don't think so.
Most division is happening when the truth is preached, no matter where.
Even Jesus said He did not come to bring peace, but a sword, and warned those who want to follow Him, those who are willing to seek and to stand up for the truth, that they will be cast of the their own family (if the family does not believe), and out of the churches/ congregations/ groups they are (or were ) in , since most families, churches, congregations and groups (unions, governments, schools, all that is of the world)
cannot comprehend, cannot grasp, and do not receive nor welcome the truth - thus they reject Jesus' disciples because they first reject Jesus, as Jesus stated clearly in the New Testament.
