1 Corinthians 3:1

Sectarianism Is Carnal

1 And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to ^ababes in Christ.

2 I fed you with ^amilk and not with solid food; ^bfor until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

3 for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and¹ behaving like mere men?

4 For when one says, “I am of Paul,” and another, “I am of Apollos,” are you not carnal?

I Corinthians 3:1-3

Hey! He's talking about people in the church who are still doing what comes naturally, speaking from their own resources, speaking from the education in attitudes and way in conduct that they have learned from Satan and his society.

The division and the confusion that was taking place in the Corinth church was evidence, or proof to Paul that they were still following and submitting to the old nature. They were doing what comes naturally. And they were therefore disloyal to the Family values, and to the Head of the Church of God.

Excerpted from Revelation 2-3 and Works

I Corinthians 3:1-3

That word "mere" should not be there.

What is he talking about? He is saying, "You guys are still acting like the world. You are still acting like you do not have that second Spirit. You are still making judgments based on worldly wisdom rather than the wisdom of God."
