LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
Lack of knowledge is the main reason for all the unscriptural changes and practices taking place in the Lord’s Church.
Hosea 4:6 says "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge."
The question is : if there is one church in the New Testament times, why do we have so many denominations today?
The apostle Paul prophesied in II Thessalonians 2:3-10
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that day will not come unless the falling away comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
II Corinthians 11:13-14: warns also against "False apostles and deceitful words.
Colossians 2:8,20, 21 , 11 Galatians 1:7-9
Paul again warns another gospel preacher in: I Timothy 4:1-3 Now the spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. Speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth
These prophesies came true with the founding of the Roman Catholic church. The pope in the Roman Catholic church has put himself on a throne as a "GOD". The first pope recorded was Boniface III who was in 606 a.d. He claimed to be infallible in his decisions, being the supreme head and having all authority and power. Other popes had such divine titles as Our Lord, God the Pope and another God on Earth.
Whether it’s the long distant past or today, an ignorance of the word of God is the basis by which God’s people shall live or die.
The world is not divided because of what the Bible says, but what it does not say.
