While doctrine is more important than loving our neighbor , our doctrine is worthless whether it be 100% correct or not.

We are completely missing the point if we think doctrine is the most important issue.

There as been a bunch of videos posted lately exalting doctrine over love, they just stop short of saying you can't be a believer if you doctrine does not line up with what is being taught on them .

Jesus said by this shall all men know you are my disciples "you have love for one another"

I have no doubt if we are walking in love , God will take care of the doctrines, not the other way round.

It says the greatest of all these is Love 1Cor 13 verse 13

I have no doubt i will be told how wrong this post is , and be reminded how important doctrine is . After seeking the heart of God yesterday after reading on the religious and philosphy forum how christianity is mocked , i believe it's church doctrine that as opened itself(the church) up to being mocked , it's even made a doctrine out of love by making it conditional and exclusive.

"I would rather have the wrong facts and a right attitude, than right facts than a wrong attitude.
God can change my understanding of the facts in a moment, but it often takes a lifetime to affect
changes of attitude."


Why can't you have both?

You mean i have a wrong attitude because i will not accept what is being said in the videos you keep posting.

If a believer rejects doctrine over love it does not mean they have a wrong attitude , it means they don't have the cart before the horse and this is exactly where christianity as failed. If this is a wrong attitude because it offends you then i guess i have a wrong attitude.

By stealth what your man is saying in the videos is "we have it all right doctrinally" and if you don't line up with it you are _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _'_ _ (fill in the blanks appropriately).Your post verifies this.

You get your information and belief from your doctrine. Which is the right doctrine?

A person cannot be assured nor teach that they have the 100% correct facts when sin still dwells within us

Doctrine isn't against His love. Doctrines role is not to usurp God's love or authory. It is here to put His authority in the proper perspective and to give it authority, keep things in order and accurate. Doctrines can teach love in the doctrione of atonement, doctrine of propitiation, the doctrine of irresistable grace

Then what you said is false since you can't be sure of anything you say and the opposite of what you believe could be true.
