Any thoughts on where religions went wrong?
Arius probably went wrong thinking like this:
" Why should I have to cow tow to these guys? I'm a pretty smart and persuasive fellow. I have different opinions about Jesus Christ. Who says I can't be a great leader of the Christian churches too ? "
Russell probably went the same way, thinking that his opinion about the nature of the Gospel could hold its own to any one else's. Why should he have to suck up to this or that clergyman?
Behind a lot of doctrinal differences is ambition for turf and leadership.
Not that there were not some genuine disagreements in theology.

So then, we have the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
How do you like that? A triune Godhead! All one in the same.

The link below is an attempt to provide for you a marvelous little book by Witness Lee entitled:
Satan's Stradegy Against the Church. I recomend it. There are three main stradegies of Satan against the Christian church:
1.) Replace Christ with something else
2.) Deveolop a Clergy / Laity system to limit the proper function of all the members of Christ's body.
3.) Kill the Body of Christ by dividing it up into pieces, divisions, and denominations and sects.
