    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Light and darkness exist continually, and not everyone is really for the benefit of progressing towards the Lord, some are for the benefit of the progression of themselves and they can look down on others and treat them with indignant misalignment.

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Found in 1 John, he talks about hatred. Jesus also speaks about how things which come the heart lead to many different things, such as “murderous thoughts / hatred.” Jesus also speaks of how people will be “hated” because of truthfulness in and through him. But you can’t deny that their are...

    Any type of doctrine which leads to people looking down on others should be avoided.

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    It just simple is. There are doctrines out there which may end up making people hate others. There are people who teach others out there somewhere in the world that they must hate others, etc… It’s nothing new. Those are doctrines which are best avoided, for sure.

    The slander against the faithful apostle Paul

    I believe that Paul was the 12 apostle, which was accepted by God. He was sent to the Gentile nations to spread the Gospel which was one of faith, while his other brothers in Israel had spread the Gospel to the Jews which was one of repentance (for having worshiped idols, and worship of the...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    @DJT_47, in the end we must realize that is God working in and through us, it’s by the spirit of Christ, and the Holy Spirit which truth is shared. It never comes from us ourselves. That’s why it’s important for people to be discerning, by the spirit whether a doctrine is leading them to hate...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    I don’t believe that @DJT_47. Sure people can hate others because of the truth but if we hate others, that’s false doctrine.

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    In the writing of the Writer of Hebrews, Chapter 12. There is a speaking about everything that can be shaken. Faith can be shaken, hope can be shaken, everything can be shaken down to the ground and that which is immovable may remain. That to me would suggest that faith and love, go hand and...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Speaking of asking God for wisdom, James states to those whom he is writing to in this regard. Paul writes to those people in Ephesus,

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    No one said, God doesn't use people for his work. @DJT_47. Keep faith and keep trusting in God. What I am saying is that people who have doctrines which leads to hating others, is false doctrine. I believe God will make this known to those whom have the holy spirit, and use discernment.

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Here is a photo, that a friend made for me a long time ago and I recreated the same image. We should fill our soul (mind/will/emotions) in looking to God, and feeding our soul with those things. https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/your-soul-is-god-given-bible-study.67364/ We are to die...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    There are many people out there, regardless if they are willingly to admit it or not, that suffer with "hatred." I am one of those people. It's only because of the strength of the Lord Yeshua, that I get by, and he simmers down my flesh and leads me more in the spirit. I am not perfect by no...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Whoa! @DJT_47, Why are you saying all that for? I'm just saying that people should think about what they are being taught and if it leads to hating other people, that is false doctrine. Jesus states for us again...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    When it comes to teaching ones own children, that may be the job then, but not to go around trying to correct everyone else @DJT_47. You can tell a drunk to stop drinking but he will stop when he is ready. Ya know what I am saying?

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    When it comes to people trying to correct people, I don't believe that is their job @DJT_47. That is the job of God himself, and their own questioning which can be answered mostly in and through the context and contents within the bible itself. It's the job of the holy spirit, to lead them to...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    I believe that false doctrine leads to hating people. In the end. It's similar to how I believe Jesus has already came back. If people hate me because of that, that is an issue. It's similar how people become vicious and malicious over the trinity doctrine, in they see people who debate as not...

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Yahavah is also love. People need to think for themselves, about the doctrines they hear out there because not all doctrine leads to truly being loving as God is, which address by Paul in 1 Corinthians 13. There are so many people out there that deal with problems involving hate.

    Doctrine doesn’t matter as much as love

    Yahavah is good. He saved Elisha. He saves people today, in bringing them into newness of life by the Spirit.
