You could think you have everything so down that you are able to correct others. I don’t try to correct others at-least that is not my intention is to “feel” the need to correct others. The topics that I’ve created over time, may have some wrong things, in there, they may have some right things, in there. “Test all things and hold on to what is good.”
I don’t agree with many members on the board about certain things. I’m my own individual person, and my father is dead, and my mother is still alive. My father was never around, and that had an effect but not a great effect on my personal life.
I was grown up in freedom, to do whatever I wanted to, and I believe Yahavah my real Father is the same way to all people, and allows all people to make choices. Some choose to believe in him and some people do not, some believe in his son, and some people don’t know his son, and they still choose to look to him.
Many people debate doctrine; I try my best to avoid those things at the point my writer career as a thread poster on Christianityboard, which is a forum site where there will be people whom try to demean you, correct you, and make sure you are in the right when it’s not their job.
It’s Yahavah/God’s job to correct you by his spirit, and not by everyone else who “feels” the need to correct you; otherwise your not “in the fold.”
Churches do that, people whom see themselves as “I’m your elder and you need to listen to me, or I have a concern about so-and-so, or let me encourage you to do this or do that, or become our member and you’ll be part of the fold as long as you do this and that and this.”
I know I can’t control people, but I should be able to in the spirit of Christ have some self control by the fruit he produces which comes by and through him only. Not everyone is the same, I expect people to have different beliefs, I expect people not to listen to me, I don’t seek out to correct people just because of differing beliefs, I typically just use the Bible to justify stances just like everyone else does.
But in the end that doesn’t matter, because even Paul states:
Didn’t matter if you have faith, and you had every single doctrine right…
If you didn’t love it meant nothing. And sometimes I look at people and what they say and determine whether or not they are being loving. What can I say, I’m a judge of what I see and what is being said, while people can “pretend to be nice, and caring, and concerned about someone being “in” or being “out.”
It doesn’t really honestly truthfully matter to me… if you can’t accept me for who I am, and only desire to correct me, and I get it, I can be corrected and moved in changing my mind.
But I don’t just simply believe every doctrine a person tries to swing my way, because most people don’t see things like me personally, coming from a view that sees Jesus already having returned and living in the new heavens and the new earth already…
I do hope you all, on this board the best, and I do love you and don’t mean to come off as a jerk as I tend to do, but some people who share what they do, don’t also expect to be corrected either.
Therefore by all means share away. I don’t accept the Bible as authority, I love the Bible and see it useful for people who can read it, but when it comes down to systematic theology, or sola scriptura stuff, I simply don’t believe in it.
What I do believe is doing what is right and allowing you to believe how you do, until something else comes up to change your mind, and having love and desiring the best for you with God in love as he moves you by the spirit…
Doctrines don’t matter when it comes down to having love for God and love for others.
