Dogmatic Christianity

[Lambano]

I see you have a way with (a) word.

A cluster-F-Bomb. But it's one of the most refreshingly open and honest responses I've seen on this forum.

 

[Patrick1966]

You and I have a different understanding of the scriptures but what I believe we are in agreement on is that we must love one another as Christ commanded us to do. Our brother has forgotten this basic yet essential commandment. Without love for one another, all biblical knowledge is useless.

 

[MatthewG]

Each individual must decide for themselves if more information they desire is worth it or not.

Proverbs 19:8​

​

New Life Version​

​

​

8 He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding will find good.

Ecc 1:18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow, and as knowledge grows, grief increases.

all the best to those who are out there seeking, and of course one should always be desirous of doing Gods will and being at peace with all men.

Romans 12:18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.

All by the spirit of Christ which is within you,

And then I went on to explain that we, who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, know that a man is justified not by performing what the Law commands but by faith in Jesus Christ. We ourselves are justified by our faith and not by our obedience to the Law, for we have recognised that no one can achieve justification by doing the “works of the Law”. Now if, as we seek the real truth about justification, we find we are as much sinners as the Gentiles, does that mean that Christ makes us sinners? Of course not! But if I attempt to build again the whole structure of justification by the Law then I do, in earnest, make myself a sinner. For under the Law I “died”, and now I am dead to the Law’s demands so that I may live for God. As far as the Law is concerned I may consider that I died on the cross with Christ. And my present life is not that of the old “I”, but the living Christ within me. The bodily life I now live, I live believing in the Son of God, who loved me and sacrificed himself for me. Consequently I refuse to stultify the grace of God by reverting to the Law. For if righteousness were possible under the Law then Christ died for nothing!

Can't say I blame him really. Some people are going to have to give account for confusing, exasperating and disheartening their fellow brethren. There is so much false teaching around that is certainly not easy to be entreated and which divides the church. It's enough to drive anyone a little over the edge.

I agree.
I'm about over the edge myself.
The bickering, personal insults, assignation of character, condemnations, private interpretations has made me draw back.
How must God feel?

Genesis 6:6 KJV: And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Is it hate speech to warn people of eternal consequences? Is it love? It's funny that people will rationalize warning unbelievers outside the church....even seeing this as laudatory. But try warning the unbelievers within the church and most will get into a snit. It's funny how history continues to repeat itself.

Ec 1:9

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Stay dug in the trenches dear sister . Let us continue to read our bibles daily , be in prayer
and following CHRIST JESUS . Testing always all men and doing so against lovely and pure holy biblical truth .
ITS a war for the souls of men and satan sleeps not and is taking many captive now to a lie . To THE LIE .
The lambs follow THE GREAT SHEPARD CHRIST JESUS the GLORIOUS RISEN SAVOIR .
