That's been going on for quite a while, I think.
Yes, sadly it has. But I don't know of a time when it has been more evident than it is today.Spiritblade Disciple wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 3:34 pmThat's been going on for quite a while, I think.

Why do you think that is?
I think the problem is the deception of the devil.Spiritblade Disciple wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 12:34 amSpiritblade Disciple wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 3:34 pm That's been going on for quite a while, I think.Why do you think that is?
People have more access to the Bible in more understandable translations/versions than ever before.
Yet, there's very little unity around what beliefs are true and what beliefs are false.
And, no single person or church seems to have a real say as to who's right about what. If someone says someone is wrong, they are generally ignored or worse.
Like the Bible says, "there must be heresies among you that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."
But, who decides who's approved is up to question.
I think part of it might be the deception of the devil. But, since he is not omnipotent, I don't think giving him sole credit for causing the problem is warranted. Partially, yes. But, not universally.
Who else would you say is responsible for the problem?Spiritblade Disciple wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 8:23 pmI think part of it might be the deception of the devil.

As to approval coming from alignment with the Bible, itself... That's a tricky answer as different groups believe the Bible means different things and, therefore, see those that disagree with them as disagreement with the Bible, regardless of whether or not their position or the position that they oppose agrees with the BIble, itself.
I'd lean towards Adam being responsible. See Romans 5:12-21.bibleman wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 9:20 pm Who else would you say is responsible for the problem?
The fact that different groups think the Bible means different things... does not change the clear meaning of Scripture itself.
We can't yield to the idea the the Bible means different things to different groups. If people disagree with the Bible then of course they are wrong.
