“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.
