We will be judged by how well we fit into the Body.
As I've said before, the body is going to be put together at a later date, and the present situation is one of preparation. 1 Kings 6:7 In an era when tares have been sown along with the good seed, it is a snare to make god out of church life. Church life is what it is. We see from Paul's epistles how confusing it can be, but Paul doesn't truncate his teaching to simplify it for the masses. He teaches the whole truth. Acts 20:27.
A house divided cannot stand. Divisive brothers are heretics and cancers in the body.
But this doesn't really apply to the Church. The Church has no heretics in it - only true brethren. Tares there may be, and goats, but, these are the work of the enemy, not the work of the Lord. And if we are totally honest, we all need refining in the fires of purificaton. Mal 3:3
It is about love and learning to make the main thing the main thing.
So, how would you define 'the main thing' in light of Christ's many teachings? Aren't they all equally cohesive with truth?
All this harping on theological points that bring confusion and division do not reflect a proper understanding of the truth.
I completely agree that some theologians have made a living out of perverting the scriptures and knowingly diverted their meaning, but we can never get away from the reality that God has always been speaking to mankind, from way back in the garden, and His word is true.
Jesus had a saying which meant, 'let this sink deep down into your ears', so He intended 'truth' to be understood, and what's more, He
believed it could be understood. (The word 'doctrine' appears nearly fifty times in the NT. In Hebrew, 'doctrine' indicates 'the hearing'.)
This is also the early message of the book of Proverbs - 'get understanding'. 'Understanding' is for everyone, not just church leaders.
The Holy Spirit is to be our teacher, and it's clear from the New Covenant, that God intends everyone to be taught by Himself. That's why it's a tragedy that men who don't have the Holy Spirit and therefore have no understanding, set themselves up to teach falsity using Bible verses to ham up carnal doctrines which don't line up with scripture. It's also why it's important to read scripture with the help of the Holy Spirit, and be prepared to have our own preconceived ideas blown out of the water by the word of God. The Spirit is truth. 1 John 5:6
Don't you think that those who have been confused by false doctrine should be given correct doctrine?
