Yep, but God will smack me back down. And I don’t make “doctrine” for thousands of people who make “confessions” and claim to follow me.

And I don’t make “doctrine” for thousands of people

But there are thousands of people on this forum who read your posts. How do you know you aren't leading some of them astray. Wouldn't it be better if the lurkers were able to see your statement of faith, compare it to scripture, review your posts for consistency with your doctrinal statement and admonish you if your beliefs and doctrines are inconsistent or in error?

In essence, by insisting that your interpretation of scripture is correct because YOU only base your beliefs on scripture that you are, in fact making doctrine for all who read your posts. In other words, your denomination is the Church of Cynical Bear, and YOU are the final authority since it is your interpretation that is the Truth and anyone disputing that doctrine is espousing false doctrine.

Take heed, lest you fall.
