Do not put limits on God. You say that doctrinal unity will never exist thereby doubting the power of our God.
Would I surrender my own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity? Yes [a resounding response], if and when the Holy Spirit led and directed me to do so.
Who decides what doctrines for everyone to align under? God does.
Is anyone already where God wants him to be in this? God knows!
Is what is written in the "Bible" involved in God decision? I believe so, yes, but again let us not insist on putting God in my own, or your own or someone else's own box! Let God leads us!

Those who now have the "eyes to see" know the answer. Who are they?
| 1co 13:12 | For now we see through a glass, darkly; but Then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. |
How well was Jesus able to see the things of God while he walked as a man on planet Earth? How much like Jesus are we able to be while we walk here on planet Earth? Consider the man whose eyes Jesus touched a second time here:
| Mr 8:23 | And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. |
| Mr 8:24 | And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. |
| Mr 8:25 | After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. |

What becomes of our faith if the Genesis account is NOT literal?
This point causes me a massive amount of cognitive dissonance. (something most won't admit) The gospel and the New Testament narrative unravel when these things aren't literal. - The geologies are meaningless. (or in serious error) - Who wrote the Books of Moses? (and when) - If Adam wasn't...

No I have merely responded to your post and replies which at no point have been critical of false teaching, if anything your posts have emptied a willing acceptance of such teaching.
That's a common misconception about me.
I am always willing to hear someone give their views without casting judgment. That doesn't mean that I receive or accept everything they say. I only seek to understand them.
I probably allow more latitude in the beliefs of others than you do, Which you see as a concern. I appreciate that. Thanks.

I'm familiar with that claim. Vote.

Discussion questions: - Is it even possible that the Bible could contradict itself? - Why would that be impossible? - If it did contradict itself, would that be bad for the Bible? - Does the Bible promise not to contradict itself? - Would it be harmful to your faith if the Bible was found to be...

God in the Bible offered a simple way to shut our mouths for our arguments: the wedding feast in the Third Temple. When the mouths are busy chewing food, everyone is silent.
24 refectory halls on three sides of the outer courtyard, each hall with 8 tables, each table with 12 seats, in the four corners of the outer courtyard are kitchens where kebabs are fried for the feast. A feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
