Doctrine upon doctrine.

Faith upon faith.


Mmm hmm. All of which should be from the Bible, would you agree?

This may be reasonable material, or may not, I am not sure, since it is very dense-looking, and I have a lot of work to do. I strongly suggest that a brief summary would help people decide whether to read

Not all true doctrines are simply understood before preliminary doctrines are metabolized in our thinking.

Yeah, to be honest that's not a cool way to be communicating. It seems weird, and if people think you're weird, you're not going to engage anyone. I've read the Bible many times, and having done so I feel that I have a good idea of the personality of people like Paul, for instance. And I just can't see Paul saying "doctrine of the pivots".

So, you know, it's good to be enthusiastic, and I'm sure you've got a lot to contribute, but I hope that maybe your next post can engage me better!

Good regards,

By all means, Scripture is given to provide us a written form of His Word.

There are quite a few preliminary doctrines required before chewing meat.

Unfortunately, many of us have been scarred by worldly things and might not have continued in a daily intake of Bible doctrine, resulting in us not being prepared when we are at the right place at the right time to perform a good work through faith in Christ which He has provided for from eternity past.

With the newly placed Administration, it appears believers may want to get back to the basics and brush up quickly as they are likely to be tested in short order, whether they are prepared or not.

In regards to a summary, if the Cliff notes to a bible study as provided in the outline format aren’t direct enough, I’d recommend going on to another study.

The notes provided aren’t provided as edict. They are provided for those who enjoy Bible study and are students of history. Every doctrine must be inculcated into the spirit by God the Holy Spirit, not by man. Even with this stated, there is a sizable amount of study notes provided for the serious student who remains in faith through Christ to advance in the spiritual Christian walk with Christ.
