You're asking in an online forum if excessive interpretation can lead to division?
I think I know what you mean, But debate is allowed.

What I just want to express is that the proposal of a viewpoint should be supported by reasonable biblical scriptures.

There is also need for a mind that simply obeys the exact words of the Bible scriptures as a child.

So it seems to me that most of the differences come from over-interpreting the original words of the Bible text,

People usually pick one up and throw one away like monkeys carrying corn.

Everyone should have a basic and simple overall concept of acknowledging the original text in the Bible.

The Gospel of Luke
21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
