But since they are telling falsehoods and lies, deceiving the brethren and causing divisions, they are obviously not pleasing God in any way. They are not doing it to please God, obviously, because if they were, they would be telling the truth. They were deceiving to please themselves in some way. But what it means is that they are stoking their own desires. It is a symbol of a person doing something for his own gratification.

Ritenbaugh reveals that “ Paul says that such deceptive people are serving, not God, but their own belly. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Richard T. Romans 16:17-18 “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them.

Discord Sowers exploit the passion/emotion of others, and, more often than not, derive pleasure from conflict. Sometimes they are aware of what they are doing but sometimes they just play into the hands of spiritual forces that are intent upon destroying the mission of the church. “Sowers of Discord are usually driven to serve their own interests and are themselves driven, scourged and mired in relentless sin. It is not ‘this man vs that man’ but ‘the spiritual enemies of Christ versus His Church.’ Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
However, this is not a fleshly battle but a spiritual one. Such divisive behavior is included in what the bible calls “the works of the flesh.”Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. These actions does not come from the spirit of God but birth from hell from the deceiver the devil.
“Sowers of Discord” sow the seeds of bitterness, anger, distrust, and hatred into the ground of other people’s hearts. Those Who Plant “Seeds “of Discord?

All sowers of discord are false witness who breathes out lies and deceit. It is a wicked sin fathered by pride and was found in Lucifer in heaven who sowed discord to a third of God’s Holy angels to disobeyed God.
