Because I had commented on this, let me say that I do not believe that "all of them" are necessarily from the devil, but the concept Judy expresses about the fruit of doctrine being holiness is what defines sound doctrine and separates it from the doctrine of men as well as the doctrine of devils.

Any doctrine that teaches we can never love others fully and completely (perfectly) despite the work of Christ is very demotivating.

All you have to do is accept the concept that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, and I would be in complete agreement about the "powerful motivation" of your teaching. Think about it, would you please? Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
