Why is the church so divided?

I had a good conversation with a friend last night. He asked a really good question. The essence of the question was this:
“If the gospel is simple to understand, Why is there so much disagreement?”
He’s right. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of divisions in the church. I have a few quick ideas on why this is.

It seems to me, from Scripture, that there are three things to blame for these divisions. (1) Scripture distorters, (2) Satan, and a (3) Self-gratifying audience. SCRIPTURE DISTORTERSPeter once said, “…our dear brother Paul also wrote you… His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.” (2 Peter 3:15-16)

Peter says: (a) Some of what Paul writes is hard to understand. (b) People will twist and distort Paul’s writings. (c) Those same people will distort all scripture.

Is it a sin to read books from other religions?

We got this fantastic question recently.

Hey Lucas I had another question. Do you know any scriptures on reading other religions books? 2 John 10-11 says don’t bid anyone Godspeed who has another doctrine. Is it still okay to accept a copy of the Book Of Mormon even if you already know it to be a lie full of damnable heresies? Anyways I’ll just tell you in short last Sunday I went to a LDS church because I wanted to preach the true good news of justification by Faith alone and to warn of judgement and the Elder I spoke to gave me a copy of the Book of Mormon and said we could talk again. Was it sin in accepting the Book? I have been examining it to show them the impossibility Of there False Gospel anyways my question should I continue to do this or no?Great question. Let's first take a look at the verses you mentioned.

If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;for the one who gives him a greeting part…

How to stop doubting your salvation.

Got this great question from a subscriber.
Hi Lucas, I recently haven't gotten the feeling of the presence of God. I was talking to someone the other day about salvation... now I'm confused again. I started doubting a little bit because I thought that the lack of His presence meant either I wasn't saved or He isn't there. People say that they have God help them with decisions which I feel has never happened to me. Or when they pray they feel something (which I used to feel but it went away). It feels like I'm doing something wrong, or He isn't there.LUCAS' ANSWER: EMOTION IS DANGEROUS. Here's why: I cried at the end of the Matrix Trilogy and had an existential experience at the finale of the first Twilight film. I shed a full ten tears during the Anakin Skywalker Vs. Obi Wan Kenobi dual. Sometimes I'm even emotionally moved in church but it happens less often than it does in movies. So I don't put much stock in my emotions when they do show up. …

Does a Christian Turned Atheist Lose Eternal Life?

My daughter woke up crying at 6:30AM. After my wife got her back to sleep I laid in bed for another few minutes but I couldn't sleep. I had something running through my head. It was this question, "can a Christian become an atheist and still be saved." I felt like this would be a really good topic to write about today. So I came out to my writing office and checked to see what questions had been submitted over night.

This question came in anonymously this morning.
"If I once believed wholeheartedly, full commentment, baptized, truely believed and now don't. Am I still saved?" How serendipitous... Ok. So. The answer is YES, and I'm going to tell you why. First, we need to understand what happens when someone believes in Jesus. As a quick primer before you read on, here's a video we produced on the subject. You can watch it before you read this article, or skip it.

Now let's jump in. What happens the moment you first believe? At the moment you be…

What About Evolution?

A subscriber writes:

I'm currently in online school and the classes all teach evolution to be true. I'm not sure what I believe about that and how it would correspond with my Christian faith. I was curious what you thought in that area because secular evolution is forced down my throat at school.
My security is in Christ, not creation. I'm 5000% more confident in the gospels than I am in my ability to understand the first few chapters of Genesis. We really don't know exactly how God did it. Genesis tells us that God did it, and gives some details. Though, Genesis leaves out a lot of information. That doesn't bother me at all.

Personally, I believe God designed and built over a long period of time. I believe that fits with what Genesis teaches. I don't believe it was evolution, but I know plenty who do.

You used the term "secular evolution." If by "secular evolution" you mean, an evolutionary process that God is not involved in, and didn'…
