    Choice of doctrine is driven by religious preconception - Spirituality is an individualized journey

    On the contrary, the WORD is the direct confrontation to the 'compromise'. JESUS is claiming: Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. JESUS is inviting you and all to discover the Truth: "If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the...

    Unity in exclusivity is mere tribalism - Nothing special there

    Doctrinal Unity is found in the FATHER/SON/HOLY SPIRIT. Doctrinal compromise is found in the world and our hearts. "Choose you this day whom you will serve" "I came not to do My will but the Will of HIM who sent Me." "If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16And I will pray the Father, and...

    Choice of doctrine is driven by religious preconception - Spirituality is an individualized journey

    "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." Take your pick!

    Would you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity?

    We both had a joyful LOL this morning - thank you my Brother The first thing that comes to mind is the first place 'doctrinal compromise' took place = Genesis/the Garden You remember = "Did God really say.........."

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    You asked: "Are there any acceptable short cuts that will assure us we are heading the right direction or even are already in the right place now?" YES there is and you pointed to it = the Holy Spirit “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you...

    Choice of doctrine is driven by religious preconception - Spirituality is an individualized journey

    The Purpose of His Coming was/is to save the world from their sin/separation/condemnation. His Purpose came to pass because of Doctrine and continues because of Doctrine. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away." - Matthew 24:35 "Jesus answered them and said...

    Would you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity?

    It is irrelevant that all those doctrines disagree with each other. The only RELEVANCE is if they agree or disagree with "it is written" = God's words. Our relevance is found in our Creator = the WORD by which all things were made. Now where in Scripture can you find this playing out in the...

    If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not...

    Choice of doctrine is driven by religious preconception - Spirituality is an individualized journey

    Those who were in control of the Temple believed that they had the authentic version of God's righteousness. Which is why they had the Messiah of Israel murdered. Therefore, the doctrine of those religious leaders was 'compromised'.

    Would you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity?

    This has to do with the 'Covering Dynamic' that is the result of us being born into a world that has been 'compromised' by sin.

    Choice of doctrine is driven by religious preconception - Spirituality is an individualized journey

    YES, Jesus was viewed with disdain by those who viewed their 'doctrine' as 'authentic' against that which Jesus presented. Which is why i asked the question, since you said "Choice of doctrine is driven by religious preconception - Spirituality is an individualized journey".

    Would you surrender your own beliefs in the cause of doctrinal unity?

    When you say 'compromise' you are alluding to the fact that there are existing 'doctrines' that do not agree with "it is written". Wayward doctrines give birth to religious compromise. The question then is = What must we compromise in order to walk with God? God has given us His Word and the...

    The Kingdom of God in Christ

    The Kingdom of God is the LORD Jesus Christ. If you desire to know God and be included in His Kingdom then you must worship the SON. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible...
