BB’s comment was that it isn’t important to be 100% correct in one’s doctrine. He said that in posts 148 & 206.

You can be 100% correct in doctrine and theology and have a heart of stone and be disobedient to what God wants of you.

There ARE some basics that need to be correct. Teaching a Jesus who is not the one of the Bible, is one of them. Not any old Jesus can save, it MUST be the one of the Bible. And salvation is by faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross, but much of the doctrinal stuff is not as important as living the life God wants you to and loving God with your whole heart and mind and soul and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself.

There is a difference between saying that doctrine doesn’t matter and saying that being 100% correct on your doctrine doesn’t really matter.

Thank you. You are the only one who “gets it”. Whether that is intentional on their part or not, I do not know.

Your point is totally different than the point orignally made by BB.

BB stated (as pointed out by others already) that doctrine does not matter.

I have rightly noted BB’s gross error.

You have charitably reimagined BB’s point by re-writing it so that it has little in common with his original point.

That is kind of you, but BB is a big boy and should FReep for himself. He could easily retract his error and note that he oversimplified things. Dumbing Jesus down does not bring anyone salvation.

And I expect BB can tune in without me adding his name to the address box.
