The church of our Lord is like a body with Christ as the Head.
Since only the Head is perfect, the body, which is the church, is subject to illness or disorderliness--just like a human body.
The body of Christ is composed of people of diverse social, cultural, and spiritual maturity backgrounds, so friction amongst each other is most likely to occur.
There is no such thing as a trouble-free church because all local churches are being led by people who have their own imperfections.
