It is -2 here, very cold. I have been up all night tending both furnaces and the house is only at 68.

I guess I shouldn't complain. It is the Floridian in me that suffers when the outside temp drops to 32° F. Today, though, will make history if the ice and snow prediction comes true this afternoon. Highways will become high-risk areas.

Both agape and true doctrines come from GOD. While agape is the greatest it can only be given to those who know GOD. Any idea we have that is not GOD, like the trinity, is an idol. Idols cannot give us agape. Therefore even though agape is the greatest it can only be given if one has the true doctrine. Agape and doctrine are interdependent even though agape is the greater of the two.

I think that now, for me, "doctrine" has become a four-letter-word. I am so skeptical of any church's statements of faith, I know my hackles would rise when reading them.

I know those things that, so far, God has given me to know. I expect more to come as I go.

This is the place I have been put in order to find topic to study.

Doctrine is in the true spiritual sense is a four letter word, love or agape. The love we see in the unconverted is human level. Our copy and paste buddy has this type using the word without truly understanding the difference.
