Yes, I agree that as a believer, I groan within myself, waiting for my Saviour to give me a new body...so that I will never sin against Him again.Romans 8:23, And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
But that wasn't the subject of my question.
My question was, do you truly believe that God's people can never come to a complete knowledge of whether or not a doctrine or set of doctrines is true?
You seem to be saying that there are many "beliefs" that are encompassed by "the faith" that Paul, Jude and others of the Lord's apostles wrote about...
That groups of people who profess Christ, especially those who perpetually differ with each other ( at times radically and even stubbornly holding to those errors ) doctrinally, can all be saved and indwelt by the Holy Spirit...who acts as both Comforter and Teacher.
Am I correct in my observation?
If so, then I'm sorry... but we will have agree to disagree with each other on this.
I've heard this sort of thing taught even from pulpits for most of my life, and cannot find it anywhere in the Scriptures.
Rather, I clearly see that God is pleased, in bestowing the gift of His Spirit to His people, so that they might know the things that are freely given to them...those "things" ( truths and promises ) that men like Paul spoke of ( 1 Corinthians 2 ).
