Why people of the same religion understand the religion differently most of the time?

Question

People read the same religious book, they live in the same country but still they divide themselves for a particular issue. Why?

Answer 1

It is bound to be so.......
Even this question has been understood differently by different people. Everybody looks at things through the lens of their experiences and knowledge.
What they have known and experienced, with that they correlate.

Answer 2

It is for lack of the Holy Spirit. There are some people who are filled with the Spirit that live countries apart, yet when they meet, they have the exact same understanding. When the apostle Paul saw Jesus, ( after He was resurrected ) he did not go to the twelve who were with Jesus for three years. Instead, he went away and prayed, for three years. Then when he came face to face with the twelve, they all had the same understanding.

I am sad to say, you will hardly ever see a true believer these days. The way has been molded into something that fits the liking of the congregation. God has become for the most part, " created in the image of man. " People today say, " my god would never do this or that, or my god is so loving, I'm sure he would let my get away with this or that. " The truth is, there is only one God, He is the creator of all that exists, and He has standards set that we can never reach. However, He gave us the Holy Scriptures as a guide book.

Capacity to understand depends on the degree of evolution of conciousness.

Connecting conciousness to mind divides. Connecting conciousness to Soul unites.

Answer 4

Different people have different gifts. We all understand in a veiled manner.

Answer 5

It is due to lack of wisdom and narrow- mindedness as also the ego as they think they are superior to others.
