Spiritual Truth and Doctrine

And I would add that the OP contrasts spiritual truth with simple doctrine explicitly.

I do think it could have been worded a little better but I think there are some truths to what it seeks to convey.

Whether they are spiritual truths or not, well, we'll never know, because no one seems to be interested in threshing it out.

;)


God bless.

 

Yes people are threatened by explicit doctrine. This who hate truth should be.

 

Explicit command? Nowhere. But the truth will necessarily insult some. What Scripture does not say is that we should not insult. There are examples, even of Jesus, hurling what you and I would consider an insult. So your question is pointless is what I am getting at. And @JonC assertion that we should not resort to insults from earlier in the thread is off base which is what you were squawking about in the first place.

 

Thank you, Reformed.

Okay, as much as I hate to do it, I need to take my leave of this forum once again. I just enjoy it too much and it takes me away from what I should be doing.

See you guys next time around! May you grow in grace and knowledge of our Savior.


God bless.

 

It would be insulting others that I would think would be viewed as off-base.

If you feel you should resort to insults then have at it.


God bless.

 

Like I said, Jesus called people names too so....

 

Insult is feelings on your end. Truth is truth. The Gospel is an offense to many. Scripture tells you that. If truth is perceived as an insult due to your feelings, that's your problem.

 

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Try and stop me! :Roflmao

 

Welp. You just undid all your virtue signaling! Toss your Scofield bible in the trash. That's where it belongs.

 

The Bible itself defines to us what those essential and core Christian doctrines are for us!

 

water Baptism and Baptized in and by the Holy Spirit into Christ and His body 2 seperate things though!

 

So your saying that there is saved and extra saved. That sounds like a very strange theology you have there.

 

We are reconciled by His death we are saved by His life. That is the clear teaching of Rom 5:10, how can you not see that?
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were God's enemies,
we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son,
how much more, having been reconciled,
shall we be saved through his life!

1Co 15:16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
1Co 15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

If we are still in our sins then we are not saved.
