Error (9)
The failure of church elders to know and teach the Bible is one of the chief reasons doctrinal error floods churches today and drowns the power and life of the church.Biblical Eldership (24)
One error is a bridge to another.
A wrong sum can be put right, but only by going back till you find the error and working it afresh from that point, never by simply going on.
By empty chatter and disputes about words, whereby those who rage madly over foolish enquiries stray from the real goal of pure worship.Synopsis of a Purer Theology, Disputation 1

Error is a spiritual bastard. The devil is the father, and pride the mother. You never knew an erroneous man, but he was a proud man. Now it is good that such men should be laid open to the intent, first, that God's righteous judgments upon them may be adored (2 Thess. 2:12). Secondly, that others who are free be not infected. Primitive Divinity
Error needs a great deal of defending to keep it from sinking into oblivion, a great deal of equivocation to hide its certain and natural consequences from being detected by honest inquiry, and a great deal of learning and rhetoric to plead its cause. But in order to embrace truth, we need only light to see it by and a heart to love it. Primitive Divinity
I must tell you that I never yet knew the man that had but one error. If the devil can but draw you into one, he'll quickly lead you into more, as in logic grant but one absurdity, and a hundred will follow. He that saith yea to the devil in a little shall not say nay when he pleases. He that tumbles down the hill of error will never leave tumbling till he come to the bottom.
We have somehow got hold of the idea that error is only that which is outrageously wrong; and we do not seem to understand that the most dangerous person of all is the one who does not emphasize the right things.Sermon on the Mount (2:244)
