Q1. (1 Timothy 1:3-7) What were some of the results of false doctrine in the church at Ephesus? How does doctrinal controversy hurt the spirit of a church? How does it prevent growth? How does it keep the church from its mission? False doctrine in the church of Ephesus resulted in some church members believing that only a few with special knowledge would be saved and the church having a fascination with myths and genealogies, etc. Doctrinal controversy causes confusion in a church in which a lot of times it causes members to leave the church. Doctrinal controversy prevents growth by causing the church not to be on one accord. When the Church is on one accord and get back to what it is all about which is saving souls then the church will began to grow. It keeps the church from it's mission by the confusion it cost. When the church is in a confused state, it looses site of the mission;saving souls. Charlie11
