Fortunately, God doesn’t require us to get all our doctrine right

Correct doctrine is one of the major Pauline themes in the Pastoral epistles.

“Correct doctrine is one of the major Pauline themes in the Pastoral epistles.”

Of course it is. But getting it completely right is, fortunately, not a condition of salvation. That is good, because I cannot, for example, reconcile portions of Paul and James. I know God can; but that is not in my ability to understand (and devout, intelligent, well-studied Christians throughout the ages have resolved those issue differently). I do the best I can to understand and put my faith in the Lord that the Holy Spirit will guide me to a correct understanding.

2 Timothy 2:15 would solve a LOT of problems, if it were actually practiced. Of course, it would completely blow straight up entire religions in the process. Which is why it is ignored, I’m sure.
