What is the weirdest "Christian" doctrine you have ever personally encountered?

[Tobias]

How about this one: "My OPINIONS are scriptural, even though I cannot back them up in the Bible. While the verses you quote that directly contradict what I believe are not scriptural, simply because I don't believe them."



Or there's this one too: "I'm right simply because you can't argue your position well enough to change my mind."

 

[Frogster]

I apologise on picking on the weird doctrine that you happen to believe in. Perhaps you would like to start a thread on it.

luv that thread, it would be easy pickings!

Yeah, since he has no lab report of the chemical composition showing exactly what Jesus was drinkin... he's gonna keep on claiming Jesus was a drunk

You're not a drunk when you drink one glass of wine.

Oh that's real friendly. I just left a forum where they had a doctrine they couldn't back up with Bible verses, so they just accused the other questioning it that he was following a false teacher.

Sounds like every thread on in this forum.

Yup.

And now, through this thread that I believe was intended to be a perfectly innocent thread, it's been morphed into a place to indirectly call people's beliefs and opinions "weird". Ain't it grand?

I had JELL-O guts that it would.
I groaned the minute I read the title.
You could smell it coming.

We may not agree doctrinally on everything, but at least we agree on this.

Hey, something good came from the thread after all!

Another one:

It's okay for believers that live in glass houses to throw stones at others because as Christians we're free in Christ.

*TIME TO STIR THE POT A BIT*

For what its worth to the drunk thing, Jesus' own words seem to verify He drank alcoholic beverages...

Matt 11:19
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But wisdom is proved right by her deeds."

Nice verse!

But it still isn't "scriptural", not until you can change Gospel Guy's mind!

And another:

If you prayed to be healed and weren't, it's your fault.

 

[Always in His Presence]

And another

You prayed to be healed and were not. Not only is it Gods fault but He might so be trying to teach you something, but you will most likely never know what it is.

 

[Tobias]

Or:

"You aren't allowed to pray and ask God for healing. He's already given it to you! Healing is in the vending machine in the lobby, so don't bug God if it's broken or if you don't have enough faith to buy what you want. It's your own fault if you can't get it to work!"

 

[probinson]

We can actually learn a lot about what people believe by reading their intentional mischaracterizations of people who believe differently than them. So I guess that's one good thing about this thread.

Makes me think of this weird one:

You don't agree with me because you're listening to demons and they're telling you lies.

please, anyone can see i did not call Jesus a drunk, lets elevate the dea=bate. You are the one posting drunkard verses, in a broad general manner, on Jesus, paul, tim, and every other Christian,, who has a drink of wine.
