Do you have a reference for that ?

"The Catholic church has spawned more division than almost any other group known to mankind"
Divide what?
You place the teachings of Ellen White on par with inspired scriptures though, deny saved by grace alone faith alone, and have that heresy of Investigative Judgement!
They also hold with the doctrine of Investigative Judgement, where God will make the final determination after we die as to if we stay saved and keep eternal life,
Another interesting milestone in "Christian" history: 28 Feb 380 A.D, "Nicene Christianity is made the official religion of the Roman Empire."
New Testament Churches were already growing nearly 350 years--without a Pontifex Maximus.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The Catholic Church is one of the denominations that has spawned the most division. Notice that all the Protestant Reformers were in fact Catholics - trying to reform the errors within Catholicism. The counter-reformation was the Catholic church finally waking up to some of its errors needing reform and trying to get some of those reforms in -- a day late and dollar short because they kept so many errors that it did not resolve the rift between themselves and the protesting Catholics
Your false statement "noted".
In the Bible doctrine on judgment that Adventists hold to -- no one goes into the judgment saved and then comes out lost... and no one goes into the judgment lost and then comes out "saved". In Matthew 7 Jesus said "by their fruits you shall know them" -- the good tree does not turn into a bad one by looking at the fruit. The bad tree does not "turn into a good one" by looking at the fruit. They already are either good or bad -- the fruit merely indicates which.
Details matter -- more than your efforts to "make stuff up".
why present falsehood "as your first" contribution on a subject? Why not read and be informed "first"??
Is supporting the murder of children called abortion a good fruit or bad fruit?
I never claimed the Christian church had no divisions before the Catholic denomination started its own divisionsNo sir you said divide.... Now tell me DIVIDE WHAT? What was there that had no division?
Do you believe that some Christians will be lost after that so called judgement, mainly due to not keeping the Sabbath, and refusing Ellen White as a prophetess?More false statements on your part ?? Did I say something where I expressed doubt in your ability to make false statements???
The term "investigative Judgment" is the name given to the obvious Judgment in Daniel 7:9-10 and to the same one described in Romans 2:16 and in 2 Cor 5:10. In Dan 7 it is a judgment that includes the work of opening the books of record - as the text points out. Thus the term "investigative" - where myriads and myriads are there to observe the data/details presented.
Unless your claim is that the Bible is "heresy" because you have not yet read that part of it.
As for the fact that the Bible claims in 2 Peter 1:19-21 that prophets are inspired by God - is this another Bible text you claim to be "heresy" or is it merely heresy to believe the Bible in your POV?
Why do you not give to us what the SDA REALLY teaches and holds with though?Your false statement "noted".

A. what denomination supports it??
B. The investigative judgment is about individuals being judged
I don't care what denomination supports it.
I asked a straight forward question:
Is supporting the murder of children called abortion a good fruit or bad fruit?
If I support abortion is that good fruit or bad fruit?

I never claimed the Christian church had no divisions before the Catholic denomination started its own divisions
Well, there was the true church of Christ here before even the catholic church, correct?"I never claimed the Christian church had no divisions before the Catholic denomination"
Name two divisions. Name that Christian church. Give me the date before it divided.
A short kibbitz: The mystery of iniquity was already at work when the NT was written. The state owned religion which came out in Rome in the 4th century has nothing to do with NT Christianity. That group is still alive and well(?) in the Vatican. It is paganism many times reformed. How many times does one reform apostasy to get Truth?
Check out Jude 3--also the whole letter.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
