Subject: Christ and doctrines revealed to us? |
Bible Note: Dear Parable, I do beleive in progressive revelation, but any new revelation WILL NOT CHANGE any original revelation, it will only add to it. A good example is Christ bringing the spiritual dimension to the "law". Thou shalt not kill, now we are not to be angry, without a just cause, with our brother. It dosn't do away with the original, it magnified it. There are several examples of this in the "Sermon on the Mount" You need not go far for examples of different doctrines, Catholics have theirs, the Lutherans theirs, Methothist have theirs, Babtist have theirs, ect. Many practice the same doctrines but how do they get different teaching on those they differ so much on, Baptism - Immersion (age of understanding) or sprinkling (infant Baptism). This was part of the Gospel that was taught by Christ and the Disciples, "Repent and be Baptize, everyone of you. This seems to be a foundational principle. Did God the Father give both methods of Baptism? Does it make a difference? I think it does. There are many other major different beliefs, with this posting I'm not trying to argue that one or the other is right, I'm saying do they all come from the mind of God. I believe God gives us the truth initially, then as times goes by, we start compromising the truth, small change here and there, after a period of time we can't recognize what God gave us from the beginning. Rev 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. KJV Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. KJV Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; KJV In Christian Love, Arnie |
