It would appear that some Christians here on this forum do not 'bring' the doctrine of Christ. They have not doubted it either. They have accepted that they believe in and teach a doctrine other than what the doctrine of Christ represents ie brotherly love.
They have not doubted that they actively discourage the following of the commandments of Christ by using the following derogatory comments to describe those who try to follow Christ:
- works righteousness
- trying to earn your salvation
- hypocrisy and self-righteousness
- pointless and useless law keeping
- and other comments designed to discourage followers of Christ.
So far that much they accept. But it gets worse. Lets see. So far they -
- ignore Christ and His commandments.
- condemn those who try to follow Christ
- and to make it worse, they preach a completely contrary doctrine in place of what Christ taught, a doctrine based on the acceptance of sin.
Their sin [theirs only apparently] they say, is covered by Christ. That is what Christ died for. Christ died for their past, present and future sins, so that they would not have to 'accoount' for sin.
But all the passages about 'refraining from sin' or 'go and sin no more' or 'those who sin are of the devil or of the flesh' etc etc ... they ignore or attempt to explain it away with voluminous false analysis.
The Apostles all have dire warnings about accepting Christ and then falling back into sin and worldliness, but again these warnings fall on these Christians deaf ears.
.. the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28-29 KJV)
