Why don't people think it is God's will that the church be broken up into every which kind of assembly and grouping?

The devil loves uniformity or conformity

The way things are everyone can find the little [or large] family of believers that suits them and they can make their spiritual home there.

Paul did not like factions but he did understand that they were necessary.

When Jesus broke bread at the Last Supper He took the bread which symbolized His body the Church, He blest and brake it.

See? that Body that bread can never become one again, forever it is broken into ever increasing fragments...until we all eat it anew in the Kingdom

So true Billy. Even if we are in smaller groups of believers we are all about Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:4-13 KJV -

4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
