Subject: Mistaken View Or False Doctrine? |
Bible Note: Well, I think that's right. Somewhere in the mix there has to be a false prophet, but a child of God can be deceived, though there are some that teach that this is not so, but also, that is false. And thus a false doctrine can be fostered and even passed from church to Church, as we can see pretty easy when we just look around. But a true Child of God will hear the truth when they hear it, now they may have to hear it a bunch, depending on how hard their head is, but I think they will indeed hear it. I have known some saints that have stayed on where there was false teaching in hope to find God's own and teach them the truth, so we should never judge one because of what we may think, cause we just don't know for sure. I've even known of, but not personaly, some preasts that believed in true doctren but staid to teach. Oh and Tam, I often don't really read the short question, just the post as that is where most have the substance of their question, and in your post it was not all that clear to me that that was what you were asking, even though I thought I did sort of answer it. I guess too that I was also kind of confused because I couldn't really understand why you were asking that question (i.e. the whole of it) as your posts have reveled that you already knew that, so I was a little surprised at that as well. Sorry I get confused easy sometimes. Knowing my love of brevity, or should I say succinctness, you should know I would have rather answered the shorter one! :-) God bless John |
