Ways to reveal false doctrines

Perhaps we could declare a brief moratorium on the word "lie."

Perhaps we could go with "you seem to be misinformed" or "maybe you misunderstand" or words to that effect?

Mark H.

 

Mark,

I would certainly like to push that route, and I consistently say that things of which I know are not true as a misunderstanding of teachings...until they refuse that. When they refuse that they misunderstand, and we have supporting evidence to say that it is not so, then they are lying about the Church, because they are stating that what they say is the truth.

 

Grace,

I certainly understand your frustration (and, obviously, I'm only an occasional lurker in these parts).

Maybe we could go with, "You seem to have a mistaken impression that you know my church's teachings better than my church does."

Mark

 

Well spoken. I apologize for for being to forthcoming, Tulpje.

Oh, I just got here! I don't have time to read everything. But, in case no one has posted these verses, I will. I'm not a Baptist. I'm not a Catholic. I do read my Bible.

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel.

7 Which is not another, but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto than that we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Galatians 1 : 6 - 9 (KJV)

This is a Baptist Board. Now why come in and try to stir up trouble? Why would any denomination who believes they have the truth want someone to come in and try to disrupt things? If you're a Catholic, and you think the Baptists are in error, don't you know they're not going to listen to you? If a person wants to become a Catholic, I'm sure they can locate a priest somewhere and take instructions in the Catholic faith from him. Right? Don't you believe in the power of the Holy Spirit? God said, "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29 : 13 (KJV)

I hate to see people spend a lot of time and frustration over a situation they can't change. I share the word of God and let the listener decide. Then I leave it with God.

Trust in the Lord.

 

Boy, you can tell YOU'RE new here!!!

Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

May God bless you, Ephesians!

I don't see the point in persuading other Christians to join my particular church. They are, so long as they accept Jesus and follow Him, Christians.

And that's more than enough. No denomination, including mine, has God in a box.

 

Clint, a merry heart doeth good like a medicine. I'm not much of a peacemaker really. I want to be, but it obviously isn't my calling. But I always thought it would be great to distract the warring factions with laughter. So that didn't work either! You're the only one who laughed. I'll figure something out one of these days. It's hard being a dumb brunette! God, I'm down here! Now what is it You want me to do??? I'm running out of time, Lord. Edit my posts??? Is that all?
