What is the doctrine of Christ?

Hello Gary, everyone,

Gary, your posts here have been a blessing to me and all of us.  I share your beliefs of the Doctine of Christ.  My take on it has been that to love God with your whole heart and your neighbor as yourself is the guiding spirit of His doctrine.  Keeping Christ in your heart is the key.

Euty you posts are a beauty.  They say so much more than the written words


I have been lately so caught up in this scriptural debating going on here and elswhere. Looking and fearing for wolves and feeling like we should be strip searching every message for that wolf hiding in sheeps clothing.  

It was starting to remind me of the fire and brimstone teachings of organized religion wherein the basis was a God to be feared rather than loved.  Yes it seems that hell mongers thrive in a religion of fear not love.

I had spent my youth studying the bible, its history and the scripture both in and out of it.  I came the the conclusion that following Christ's example of love and holding Him in my heart as strongly as I could was the most important thing.  I felt that I had graduated from scripture and it is now a source of reminder and reference rather than a club to beat one's head in with.  I recognize that is important for the unfamiliar however to begin their own search for truth

To me, all people are the same, just in varying stages along the road. Though I do not belong or go to any church I don't find the people who do to be any less worthy than I.  Everyone I meet either on line or in person becomes another link in the brotherhood  of Christ's kingdom.
If any of you have siblings then you know that it is not always easy to get along with them but the love is still there.


Thanks again for your post Gary. I feel truly blessed to find your fellowship here.

Feat, I hear ya.  When we reach the heaven of the heavenlies, the accuser of the brethren is cast out, and that is us, then God is truly all in all.

Bobby, I really appreciate your heartfelt posts.  You lay it on the line with no bull.  Thanks.

I have seen several times here, when we argue, essentially there is no basis for an argument.  It's just that old carnal self trying to rise back up.  Then I must step aside and look from a different perspective so I can SEE again, then I laugh at my stupid self. :lol:  :lol:

God bless,

Gary

The reason I posted Luke 10:27 and Matthew 5 together is because together they are the basic doctrine of Jesus in a nut shell. Anyone who does not understand how to apply them together is a milk drinker, and should not worry about things like who is saved and who is not saved. The Milk Drinker does not need to know or think about some things, but need to know that God love them, and Jesus died to save them. A infant need to learn to crawl, before they can learn to walk, let alone run. Someone who just learned to add or multiply should not be trying to understand the mysteries of E= MC^2 . Learn the basics before trying to learn the advance.  Drink your fill of milk before trying to eat meat.

Heres the basics that I learned in the wonderful world of religion. You are gonna burn in hell. Do this are you are gonna burn in hell. If you dont accept Jesus today you are gonna burn in hell. Hell this ,hell that hell everywhere. I felt it was a scare tactic. So God scares you into believing Him. Wheres the love in that.
Now I must say it feels rather good to know the truth.
Without love you truly cant understand the milk and especially the meat.
