Avoid Them

My own view is that we are to avoid those who reject wrong doctrine because, if we dont, we risk letting a prideful and haughty or even a mocking spirit infect our own defense of sound doctrine. Avoiding disputation allows time for the seed of truth we provide to germinate and grow.

Wanted to ask your opinion . . . what are your feelings toward those who reject doctrine? I know we are to love the sinner and hate the sin. But many go out of their way to embrace the sin of wrong doctrine. Should we just shake the dust off our shoes and move on? The world seems filled with these types and . . moving on usually just means encountering them in a new venue. You are a blessing to those with ears to hear. Thank You

Hello Reg . . I am a new patron.

It's much easier to be Luke-warm. Yet, Jesus said he would spue them out of his mouth.(Revelation 3:16)

So true Mike. I just avoid people that want to argue and debate. I present the truth and warn them they need to do there own math and see if they can debunk what I’ve shown them. Most cases they never ask or bother me again. Not many even acknowledge that the material I give them to research on their own ever come back to me and say hey I believe what you presented to me. They just keep going along with the status quo’s and carry on in there institutional church systems. It can be very discouraging at times. But we press on ! There are the odd ones that the Lord sends your way. The light bulb goes off, and just like that they are hungry for more truth. That makes it all worth while😇🙏🏻

Nothing here is disagreeable according to the scriptures. It’s not necessarily easy to do these things because as you said, people just want to get along. But, the Truth divides. Thanks Reg.
