How could Christianity have avoided schism?
Do you think it's possible for different religions to avoid schism altogether? Can't humans have different interpretations of scripture and belief systems?
While it's certainly possible for different interpretations and belief systems to exist within a religion, it becomes problematic when those interpretations become so divergent that members of the same faith can no longer agree on what the core tenets of their religion actually are. So, in short, it's possible to have different interpretations, but it's also necessary to maintain some level of consistency and agreement.
