A House Divided
A House Divided
Mark 3:25
The government shuts down, slander and vitriol permeates the halls of Congress, the Constitution bastardized by political appointees, the government insolvent, corrupt socialism mandated, the republic is in peril, a house divided can not stand.
“The phrase "a house divided cannot stand" means that a group with internal conflict and disagreement is weak and will ultimately fail because unity is required for success. It originates from the Bible, appearing in the Gospels, and was famously used by Abraham Lincoln in a speech about the threat of slavery to the United States in 1858. The saying applies to any group, including families, organizations, and nations, highlighting that internal strife weakens the structure and ability to withstand challenges.
Biblical origin: The saying first appeared in the New Testament as a warning from Jesus, who used it to argue that a kingdom or house divided against itself cannot succeed. He argued against those who accused him of casting out demons by using the power of Satan, pointing out that this would be a logical contradiction.
Abraham Lincoln's speech: In 1858, Lincoln used this phrase in a speech to the Illinois Republican State Convention, arguing that the nation could not continue to exist half-slave and half-free. The speech is seen as a pivotal moment leading up to his presidency and the Civil War.
Modern application: The proverb is often used to describe the detrimental effects of internal conflict in various contexts:
Families: Disagreements between family members can weaken the family unit.
Businesses: Internal competition or infighting between departments can lead to a company's failure.
Governments: Political parties or nations that are deeply divided struggle to overcome challenges and maintain stability.”
