This outline of God's plan was the faith once delivered to the saints, and which was beclouded early in Church history. Not until the Reformation did the quest for truth and reform seek again this faith of the saints. Jude 3 Reformation The Reformation that sought to remove creedal errors and practices by a return to the oracles of God's Word has all but died. Certainly tolerance is good. True Christians never did nor ever will persecute anyone.
Persecution stems from the spirit of antichrist.
Contradictory teachings mean unquestionably that someone is wrong. Unity with serious errors can be a dangerous combination. The Reformation came about because the faithful reformers such as Luther, Melanchton and others wanted the pure truth. They obeyed God and His Word instead of the then united Church. It was the quest for truth that brought the divisions.
