Growing daily is the cancerous attack on doctrine. In fact THE
fundamental mark of liberalism is its constant attack against solid biblical
teaching. A growing number of people such as Rick Warren, Joel Olsteen,
Benny Hinn, and the many, many others in the worldly ecumenical movement are
saying, "Doctrine is not important. God is important. Let's lay aside our
petty doctrinal differences and get back to God."
My first question is ‘Which God are you preaching?” But more than that,
where is Jesus Christ in all of this and which Jesus are you following?
The number one top and most important doctrine of the church is none other
than "Jesus Christ."
"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. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed: For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds." 2 John 1:9-11 (KJV)
You see, in attacking doctrine, the ultimate goal is to attack Jesus Christ
himself.
How many of you have noticed that everywhere you look you hear about “God is
Love” and “God is everywhere” and “God is in all of us.” This is all find
and dandy, but where is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Well, Ray, “Doctrine is Divisive”.
So if doctrine is divisive then what parts of doctrine should we get rid of
or change?
Can we do away with the doctrine of the virgin birth?
How about the deity of Christ?
Better yet let’s muck with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ
Jesus.
What about the inerrant word of God? Shoot, it is taking place already. We
have over 200 modern versions, why not write another? In fact there is even
one for sodomites. What is next; the pedophile or bestiality version of the
bible? Why not? Doctrine divides!
In fact let’s just go all the way and discount the entire plan of salvation
and invalidate all that Christ did for us by dying on the cross for our
sins. But you know what; even the blood of Christ is being attacked by
calling it a “slaughterhouse religion.”
Folks if you have not guessed it by now, we are focusing in this issue on
Doctrine and the lack of in today’s modern church.
