GOD had a tree in the garden that was forbidden because it's fruit was seen as being good for making one wise to be like GOD. And today many theological ideas derived from the BIBLE have no value to the KINGDOM OF HOLY LOVE, but rather only serve to puff up the knowledge of the denominational member. ( Yes Folks GOD has placed stumbling blocks within HIS WORD ) and when our Spiritual Eye is focused on JESUS and living out what HE says for us to live, then our whole body is filled with the Pearl of Great Price which is CHRIST LOVE growing in our hearts. It is by this LOVE that BIBLICAL understanding is revealed. The LOVE is GOD and GOD is the teacher.

GOD has placed many things in HIS WORD that people have far greater passion about than they do for showing HIS LOVE real to the people HE puts in front of us everyday. People mistakenly think their knowledge of the BIBLE is going to somehow make them an approved workman when they never were humble to GOD to allow HIM to form them. (or) when they did ask GOD for guidance and to be molded by HIM they never BELIEVED the things JESUS tells us.

Do not fear him who can kill the body but fear HIM who can cast both soul and body into Hell... yes.. FEAR HIM.

I agree with this ... when we use our PRESUMED knowledge to DIVIDE the BODY of Christ, rather than to UNITE it, we are misusing such knowledge that we THINK that we have.

And, BTW, we don't have to be DENOMINATIONAL to do so ...

i am not non denominational... i am anti denominational
Whenever someone shares their Christian convictions, and denomominates those positions, ie. "antidenominational", they denominate themselves.

I know. People who aren't part of a denomination still have their own ideas about how Christianity has to be.

i think we all will be working out our own salvation as to what we believe about the BIBLE.... it is the level of humbleness people have before GOD to be as little children seeking HIM to show us what we need to know and mold us into who HE wants us to be, that i think many people don't really practice... Oh they ask for guidance from GOD, but being obedient to JESUS teachings is not easy for everyone to do... as we count the cost of putting self aside for the sake of others that we might promote the Kingdom of GOD'S HOLY LOVE..... As to why anybody needs to go outside those WORDS OF LIFE and latch on to doctrines that are indeed found in the BIBLE but do not edify the Kingdom of GOD'S HOLY LOVE... if we all centered on JESUS as we should this would be a much different world.

What do you understand the purpose of Apostolic doctrine to be?

If you disobey your Creator, you learn about evil.
Up until that time you remain ignorant and blissful.
It has nothing to do with citrus.

It's not what we believe, it's what the Bible actually teaches.

UNITY:

Hebrews 12:2
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

IMPOSSIBLE:

Matthew 10:34
“Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
(...TO DIVIDE FAMILIES AND NATIONS!)

Jude 1:19
These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit

So a lot of different people believe a lot of different things about the BIBLE...... My point was GOD will teach us proper understanding if we are humble toward him. And that many teachings from the BIBLE come from men's intellects instead of the LOVE OF CHRIST in us... aka HIS SPIRIT.

God's Spirit doesn't contradict Scriptures.

Is God so impotent that He cannot keep men from corrupting His word? How do we know that what you think "came from men's intellect" and is not God's word? Are we supposed to take your word for it? Sorry I'm not drinking that koolaid.
