I understand what you are saying JD but you mix spiritual growth which
is in flux and has to do with
obedience in our daily lives with doctrine - or what we believe.
They are related because "as a man
believes in his heart - so is he" but it is impossible for an internet list
to evaluate how we perform so
we are limited to what we believe here .. and this is what I
addressed. What I wrote is relevant
unless you have a different objection. Calling me ignorant
breaks down communication and will
get us nowhere. jt

We don't start all over again from the beginning JD; if we don't hold fast to what we already know andunderstand as truth then we are in danger of slipping ie: "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed (attention) to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip." Since Jesus is the"same yesterday, today, and forever" Truth is not relevant to culture or changing times. In fact when all elseis in flux - HE remains the same. jtOn Wed, 08 Jun 2005 08:44:58 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:It has occurred to me that if we speak and write with the view in mind that we at the beginning of another day of learning, our hearts and minds will be more open to what God has instore. Perhaps our doctrinal statements should not be "as if written n stone.' But reflective of the growth that will begin again with the start of a new day.We would do less fighting and more growing.That is what I Cor 8:1-3 is saying, ---- is it not? Paul is surely NOT against knowing but knowing that is final, a closed systems of knowledge.Jd
