Why are people in Christendom divided or holding different ideas?
People in Christendom are divided because they cling to various ideas and traditions inherited from the fathers rather than being steeped in the Word. They come with long-held traditional beliefs instead of letting Scripture alone guide them. If they would get into the Book, they would not have these problems, but they don't.
Les explains that people in Christendom today are not one; they come with various ideas and traditions they have lived in for many years, rather than being steeped in the Word. He notes that if they would get into the Book, they would not have such problems, but they don't. Les points out that Paul was no different, being steeped in the tradition of the fathers until it pleased God, who separated him from his mother's womb, to call him by grace and reveal His Son in him. This contrast shows that division comes from clinging to tradition instead of God's revelation.
