Actually it wasn't a grammatical mistake on your part; just a basic vocabulary mistake.
You're being redundant.
Well, it's not working for you.
It's a breeze. No problem --happy to help you.
Caring for the souls of the lost is "arrogant?" Are you really that cold and uncaring about the lost?
I am sorry but that is just a stupid question.
That would happen on a regular basis. And I would reach up on the shelf next to the door and grab my bible and witness to them concerning Who the Christ of the bible is, what the Christ of the bible has done, and how that can apply to them.
Because it is not about being right and wrong. It is about the difference between Heaven and hell. I don't hate anyone enough to want them to go to hell, and I surely would take the time to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified to them. That is the responsibility of every Christian.Oh, but I beg to differ. I have won both JWs and Mormons to the Lord right on my front porch. The word of God is powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword.Why would I be hostile to them? They are two poor lost women. I would have compassion on them.I might follow them a short way if one was dragging the other away and the one being dragged was listening to the Gospel.Are you asking questions or answering them? How do you know what I would do?
Because doctrine is important.
2 John 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
1 Timothy 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1 Timothy 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
1 Timothy 4:6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
1 Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1 Timothy 5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
No man can love another person and allow him to continue in false doctrine.
I have a preacher friend who told me, "Doctrine divides!"Oh Tom...... I loved that answer you just gave. I pray to the Almighty that he would deliver a pastor to my community that "Doctrine is Important"..... what I get is, "We don't teach Doctrine Here!" .... Shakes head....sometimes I believe I am at the epicenter of the end of the world!!!
True. A few examples from Acts (there are more):
I have a preacher friend who told me, "Doctrine divides!"
He is right. Doctrine divides Truth from Error.
Doctrine divides Right from Wrong.
Doctrine divides Heresy from Orthodoxy.
You just expressed what Im being told at all these local churches.....even PCA Churches are refusing to teach Sovereign Grace & Election! Maybe they need trips to Europe to see what they are cultivating.
