Thank you. You are the only one who “gets it”. Whether that is intentional on their part or not, I do not know.

One wonders if your own goofy insistence that doctrine is not important is for real.

For, after all, God so loved the world that He sent His son, Jesus, that whomsoever believes in Him might not perish but instead have eternal life - but if doctrine was so unimportant that it really doesn’t matter what doctrines are preached to us and what doctrines we live by, then we could just believe in Gaia or Baal and God’s love and Jesus sacrifice would still cover us.

Your orignal point was drivel, and yet you have doubled down on it.

God invites us to believe in His truth - and the content of that DOES matter, which is why He gives us His Word and a Church to preserve and pass on that Word.

For many, it is more comfortable to pretend doctrine does not matter, because then they are free to ignore doctrines that are inconvenient or difficult. It is sinister to encourage such an attitude by downplaying doctrine as you have done.
