Post #711Have you ever heard of progressive Christianity?YahDough wrote:
Rejecting any dogma associated with the term fundamentalism:
Fundamentalism is the only place you can start with Christianity.
The fundamentals are:
1. Repentance
2. Getting baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.
3. Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Unrepentant sinners don't like the fundamentals.
Professing Christians may have never started with the fundamentals or more likely they haven't gone past the fundamentals into sanctification in Christ.
The Holy Bible is meant to be studied by the believer, not criticized. A lot of blood went into it's compilation, and not just the blood of our Savior, Christ Jesus.
2Tm:3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
By the way, the epistles of Timothy were not written by Paul. They are second century fakes.

Sinners will do anything to belittle the truth of the Gospel.

Post #713Putting the preaching to one side for a moment, let's suppose some evil 'sinner' back about 2000 years ago snuck something false into the Gospel. Something that was not from God. How would you be able to tell?
What is from God and what is from man, let alone 'sinners?'
And how do you know?

Post #715That's all well and good for someone who is able to have a two-way conversation with God. But how do you know? Do you communicate with God, and does he communicate directly back?YahDough wrote:While I try to obey the rules, I always consider preaching an option, even if it gets me kicked off the forum.

Re: Why do people reject Christ?
Post #716"Sound doctrine" is dogma. By saying that Christianity needs no adjective, you are claiming possession of the one true Christianity. Any Christian who has a different point of view is a "sinner" headed to hell. Tell me. In your version of Christianity, is arrogance a sin?YahDough wrote:

Post #717You're quoting from that fake epistle again! Funny how you seem to prefer it to the authentic writings of Paul.YahDough wrote:

Post #718Sound doctrine is the rhema (word) of God. Dogma is man's attempt to explain it and the message often gets distorted and even lost. The Holy Ghost makes clear the scripture. That's why it's necessary to have the Holy Ghost, a "fundamental" aspect of Christianity.kayky wrote:"Sound doctrine" is dogma.

Everything is from God.
Col:1:16: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Incidenty I did answer those questions in my last post to you. Pay attention.
