Exactly ..that is why we have different Jesus's
I will not pretend to accept false doctrine as true to make nice.. I am told to present the gospel and I will do that no matter who is offended.. I am not looking to make friends or faux christians so that we all can get along .. eternity is forever..
Jesus said they would know us by how much we LOVE ONE ANOTHER" not heathens or heretics ... We are to have no fellowship with darkness..

Exactly. I would rather be hated for speaking the truth about Christ then be liked for having lied about it or soft sold it.
Now, that said, I do NOT like the little nit picky fights among the Body of Christ on MINOR points of doctrine, but when you start talking about the reliability of the Bible in matters of faith and doctrine, WHO Christ is, WHAT He did, Where He did it, and His relationship to God the Father, then we are at the point of salvific doctrines.
One thing I was taught in Bible college was that if the Bible is not CLEAR on a doctrine then it is PROBABLY not a doctrine that affects Salvation but rather a matter of conscience that should not divide the body of Christ.
Critical point here. Having "no fellowship" does not obviate the command to love my neighbor, even my heretical and heathen neighbor. It is no great thing to love folks who are just like me. It's easy.
Loving that nasty _________ (inset most despised person / group) - there is the hard stuff. The impossible that is demanded.
Your doctrine is the one true and correct one, then?
