"THOUGHT. The operation of the mind. No one can be punished for his mere thoughts however wicked they may be. Human laws cannot reach them, first, because they are unknown; and, secondly, unless made manifest by some action, they are not injurious to any one; but when they manifest themselves, then the act, which is the consequence, may be punished. Dig. 50 16, 225."

OK, whatever. I offered you the olive branch of peace and you slapped it away.
Guru
Accepting false doctrines creates peace with men but does it please God? If it does then religion is meaningless and God's word is not to be relied upon.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16
If God's word offends people than they need to reevaluate what exactly it is they believe.
Remember Jesus brought a sword, not peace, and we are to vigilantly preach and contend for the truth.

Maybe I missed something in this thread. Where did anyone say anything about 'accepting false doctrines'?
1Cr 1:10 ¶ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1Cr 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1Cr 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1Cr 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1Cr 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1Cr 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

Yes we are all supposed to be in unity preaching the same thing. When you have apostasy and most Christians start preaching other than biblical teachings that is when Believers are to stand up and contend for the truth. You are essentially saying if "christians" teach unbiblical concepts that's okay, according to the bible, as long as we are all in agreement and there are no divisions? Do you honestly believe that?
Guru
No! You are essentially attempting to put words in my mouth. I merely asked a question and then cited a scripture. You immediately jumped overboard with your perception of what you think I said, and totally ignored the question that I asked. Did anyone on this thread say anything about 'accepting false doctrines'? If they did, then point to that posting so that I can check it out and see for myself.
