What is the foundation of pure doctrine?

If the doctrines you contend for is not based on the Doctrine of Love it is "as a tinkling symbol and sounding brass". Doctrinal distinctiveness is grounds for separating the body of Christ, judging and condemning people who believe differently than the religious status-quo and then go on making a point that has nothing to do with Gospel truth. Religion's misunderstanding of the Bible is so misunderstood, it discredits Christ and His Gospel.


I wonder...If religious people knew the Doctrine of Love and lived it, would they look at people differently and see them as Jesus sees them?


The Doctrine of Love


Love Everyone - even your enemies


Luke 6:27 - But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you.


Love is the Only Commandment of Jesus


John 15:12 - This is My Commandment, That ye Love one another, as I have Loved you.


You are known for your Love 


John 13:35 - By this shall all men know that ye are My Disciples, if ye have Love one for another.


Love Completely


John 15:13 - Greater Love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.


Love fulfills the Law


Romans 13:10 - Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore Love is the fulfilling of the Law.


Love is the ONE WORD, which fulfills ALL the Law


Galatians 5:14 - For All the Law is fulfilled in One Word. Even in this; Thou shalt Love thy neighbour as thyself.


Loving Makes you Know that you have eternal Life.


1 John 3:14 - We know that we have passed from death unto life, BECAUSE WE LOVE THE BRETHREN. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.


Without Love you are nothing


1 Corinthians 13:2 - ...I would be nothing, unless I Loved others. (CEV)


Love is Infinite and beyond all understanding


Ephesians 3:18-19 - And may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s Children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high HIS LOVE REALLY IS; and to experience this Love for yourselves, though it is SO GREAT that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God Himself. (The Living Bible)


Love - is the Commandment from the Beginning


2 John 5 - And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we LOVE ONE ANOTHER.


Love is the message from the beginning - and the same message today.


1 John 3:11 - For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should LOVE ONE ANOTHER.


"Love one another"- is THE COMMANDMENT. 


1 John 3:23 - And this is His Commandment, That we should believe on the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and Love one another, as He gave us Commandment.


1 John 4:21 - And this Commandment have we from Him, That he who Loveth God Love his brother also.


John 13:34 - A new Commandment I give unto you, That ye Love one another; as I have Loved you, that ye also Love one another.


Jesus reveals God’s Love to us.


1 John 3:16 - Hereby perceive we the Love of God, because He laid down His Life for us: and we ought to lay down our Lives for the brethren.


To Love - is to be BORN AGAIN. Thus you know God - when you Love.


1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us Love one another: for Love is of God; and every one that Loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.


If you Love, then God is in you.


1 John 4:12 - No man hath seen God at any time. If we Love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His Love is perfected in us.


If you Love, then You are in God. GOD IS LOVE.


1 John 4:16 - And we have known and believed the Love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in Love dwelleth in God, and God in him.


You can believe anything you want, and you can follow any doctrine and be as judgemental and condemning as you choose. But as for me I believe in Love. Since God is Love, that means: I believe in God.

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t
