Tell Us Why There Is Both Historic and Ongoing Disagreement Upon All of Scripture.

[Bob Estey]

Justification is specified in Scripture, not by me. Learn to read.

The Bible is a long book. I suspect somewhere you will find the word "justification."

The Bible is a long book. I suspect somewhere you will find the word "justification."

Just as I said.

 

[Bob Estey]

Just as I said.

There are 783,137 words in the King James Version of the Bible. Have you given equal attention to the other 783,136 words?

 

[Desire Of All Nations]

The simplest solution would be for people to stop reading or studying the Bible through a sectarian or personally biased point of view and simply allow the Bible to speak for itself without looking for ways to circumvent what it clearly teaches. That's how it was meant to be read and studied in the first place. All of the doctrinal problems and confusion comes from people trying to sell their own traditional beliefs as biblical.

Or, More Likely would be NOT obeying God's Bible "study" Rules, Especially # 2!:

“Study to shew thyself Approved unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed, Rightly Dividing The Word Of Truth!”
(2 Timothy 2:15 KJB!)

Amen?

Within Christendom.

Every Theological tenet, every Doctrine, every context, every thematic principle, every intent of God through any given writer is under discussion, debate, and divergent assessment. There is no standard model, even within single denominations. Everybody looks to fabricate their own understanding. Commonality of belief does clump together, but actual unity rarely comes forward.

The 3000 years of Scriptural authorship and the First Church epoch contained significant unity, notwithstanding the actual heresies of tares, Gnosticism, remnant Judaism, Nicolaitanism, and Paganism.

Today, there is neither drive nor effect for unity in Doctrine or Theology, in Practice or Worship, in historic narrative or textual verity. How can this be, given the incredible power and authority of God's written Word, revealed by the promise of The Holy Spirit to those who read and study it?

Do not waste our time placing blame or accusation. Do not speak to some other issue. Do not give dismissive chit chat. Do not wax long with academic obfuscation. Do not give preachy sounding church talk babble. Do not repeat or revise this question to allow a soap box answer. Just identify how such ongoing disagreement can be stopped.

The answer is you’ve exaggerated the problem.

Most Christians agree on the required fundamentals of the faith: Jesus’ virgin birth as the Son of God, His sinless life, His death on a cross for our sins, in our place, His bodily resurrection from the dead after three days, and His ascension to heaven where He sits at the Fathers’ right hand.

Not so. Even the Early Forefathers of the Church had divergent doctrines.

Today, every tenet of Christian Faith is under dispute, even the very means of justification before The Father. As you claim such divergence is not in existence, you are merely describing your own lack in information.

I do indeed agree that justification is a central doctrine: much of the theme of Romans and Galatians; absolutely so...

I do indeed agree that justification is a central doctrine: much of the theme of Romans and Galatians; absolutely so...

Yet, there are at least four mutually exclusive doctrines about Justification which constantly are being presented. My point made.

 

[Curtis]

Not so. Even the Early Forefathers of the Church had divergent doctrines.

Not on the required fundamentals of the faith, they didn’t.
