To this very day, we see the affects of this in the teachings and practices in the Local Church.

The leaven of the Pharisees was to add to God's word things they thought one must do to please God, and wash the outside of the cup while leaving the inside full of dead things. The leaven of the Saducees was to not believe and preach the whole word (leaving out what they didn't like). The leaven of the brother in Corinth was to practice evil and boast about it.
What specific leaven can you say is the most important to purge out of "the lump" in TLR today?
