I hope, have a simple lesson on What Causes Division and Error and following up this evening with answer to the question Does God Speak to Man Today Apart from the Bible. All these lesson are intended to be helpful for us – the church – so we know what commands we must obey, and continually learn how to answer everyone who asks us of the hope that is in us. Now as Paul wrote, if we are to be the Christian that pleases God and Christ we must always to His words. “1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, 2 by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain” (1 Cor. 15:1-2). What causes division and Error? I believe can be narrowed down to just three points — root causes if you will for religious error: Ignorance, which can be either from a lack of interest or study—or from a willfulness to remain in a comfortable state. There are some who are simply liars, for selfish gain, even some who lie to keep others from learning the truth and third is more common which is when people love the world more than God. . .
