Two Causes of Religious ErrorMatthew 22:29
Take away knowledge of the scriptures and men walk in darkness (Psa. 119:105, 130)
Take away God’s power and men will limit God to a measure of his own small ideas (Isa. 55:8-9)
The Sadducees thought they had Jesus trapped with their common-sense wisdom
Why did they so “greatly err” (Mk. 12:27)?
They were Jews who studied and taught the Law, but did not believe or understand it (Acts 23:7-8)
Today, much religious error is due to the same cause
Salvation by faith alone (Jas. 2:24)
Cannot fall from grace (Gal. 5:4)
Many religious bodies (Eph. 4:4)
Many causes for divorce (Mt. 19:9)
Demand scripture for all that you do in religion and place scripture over human tradition
Desire to know the truth of scripture
Understand the meanings of the original words in a scripture
Keep a scripture in its context
Take all the scriptures together that are related a topic
They were Jews who believed in God, but did not believe in the power of God (Acts 26:8)
Today, much religious error is due to the same cause
Power of creation (Rom. 1:20)
Power of the miraculous (Rom. 1:4)
Power of the gospel to save (Rom. 1:16)
Power of the gospel to live (2 Tim. 3:5)
Remember we are not the Creator (Rom. 1:25)
Remember we do not guide ourselves (Jer. 10:23)
Remember with God all things are possible (Mt. 19:26)
Remember there is nothing too hard for God (Gen. 18:14; Jer. 32:17)
Man, not God, is the cause of error
God will allow one to err who does not love the truth (2 Thess. 2:10-12)
Christians can err from the truth (Jas. 5:19-20)
The spirit of error is opposed to the Apostles’ teaching (1 Jn. 4:6)
Will you obey truth today and leave behind error?
