Beginning with Mark Chapter 3 verses 23 through 27:
“And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. No man can enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.”
Consider these verses from Mark and the perspective relying on logic: If two opposing sides are causing division, then both sides are operating under the same destructive, “satanic” principle.
While the two factions might look like bitter enemies on the surface, their core nature is identical if they both rely on division, hatred, and destruction to exist.
You can argue that “Satan” isn’t a single person in this context, but a principle or a mindset. Satan as the spirit of division and chaos. If both sides are using the same malicious tactics, they are both driven by the same source, even if they are fighting each other.
Division itself is a trick to make people choose between two evils. By convincing people that they must pick Side A or Side B, both sides successfully distract everyone from the fact that both options lead to ruin. The hostility between them is just a smokescreen.
If a kingdom or house is divided, it cannot stand. Therefore, if both sides are actively fueling that division, both sides are working toward the exact same end goal: total collapse. They aren’t actually opposing forces; they are co-conspirators in destruction.
The same principle holds at the level of one soul, not just two warring factions. A soul that keeps returning to the same sin isn’t simply failing to resist it — on some level, while it’s doing it, it loves it. That’s the house divided within a single person: the part that recognizes the evil for what it is, and the part that still wants it, both operating at once, neither able to fully evict the other.
That division cannot stand either. A soul at war with itself in this way “hath an end,” the same as the kingdom or house in verse 25 — not because it will be destroyed from outside, but because a soul cannot indefinitely sustain wanting and rejecting the same thing simultaneously. Something has to give: either the wanting, or the rejecting.
From James Chapter 3 verse 14:
“But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.”
And then from Galatians Chapter 5 verse 15:
“But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.”
