Interestingly, both the Hebrew and the Aramaic show the word doctrine as teaching. I concur that the teachings of God, as taken in the context of the entire narrative of scripture are refreshing to the soul. But the current shading of the word doctrine is interesting: a set of beliefs. My contention is that too many lines in the sand are being drawn over what is correct doctrine. This in my estimation is not the experience of the Holy Spirit. It is not up to us to proclaim our doctrine correct. It is up to us to live the whole of the law - love God with our whole, heart and mind, and our neighbors as ourselves. Yes, good teaching is a part of that, as is evidenced by Paul and the apostles in Acts, for instance, not to mention Jesus. But Jesus never fought over correct doctrine. He struggled with people over the conditions of their hearts. Thanks for the visit, Sabbath. Interestingly, both the Hebrew and the Aramaic show the word doctrine as teaching.

This is the perspective I have been trying to portray as well (esp. in my latest post at http://deligentia.wordpress.com/2009/10/11/ghosts-in-a-bookstore/). I would be interested to know what you think if you have the time to read it.

How many fatalities to "friendly fire" are acceptable. We are save by our Savior,not our doctrine. We should do our best, but admit we are not perfect. Last time America had a revival, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian Congregational, all prayed as with one Mind. I would love to see it again!

This was auto linked to mine this morning. Unfortunately Christians won't come to one accord until Christ comes and we can all see with our own eyes what religion is supposed to mean. Personally I choose to live by faith now, as I'm sure many other Christians do, faith according to the light and truth God has revealed to me. It works for me. I read a lot about the results of this disunity you refer to on http://www.simplechurch.com/. I agree with many of the ideas expressed here, both in comments and in your blog.

It seems to me, when looking at Christianity as a whole, that there are many contradicting "truth's" in its claims.
