What is a doctrine of condemnation? What have I said so far that us not supported by Jesus Christ and the Apostles? You preach a church doctrine which is not the whole Bible teaching. Churches do that and omit most of what the Bible says because if they did preach the whole truth their church would be empty and so would their bank accounts.
I suspect ...[text shortened]...
I have the support of Jesus and the Apostles. You have the support of the heads of your church.
I have studied the Bible from cover to cover, verse by verse for decades. Your moronic insistence that my doctrine is "church dogma" is contemptible and undignified claptrap.
You have no concept of the doctrine of the grace of God to your own discredit and dismay.

Presumably it is with your own personal interpretation of the Bible that you measure the veracity of the varying interpretations of the 40,000 or so denominations of Christianity out there.
Try to grasp a simple concept. It's the Word of God. It is presumptuous to think its open to any individual's personal interpretation.
Presuming to have an interpretation of ones own is akin to telling God what He means by what He says. It's ludicrous.
Can you come to terms with that?
Originally posted by @fmfFor the record, I got it when I read it. It was a clever play on words.
The slight joke of me pompously ~ ironically, clearly ~ saying you are "forgiven" was enhanced, I thought, by removing the word "forgiveness" from your post.
See? I can read and interpret stuff just fine. Even intent. I can't say the same of others.

Plan on some bad banter too. 😉
To be honest: RHP Forums seem rather genteel by comparison. Some Snapchat and LINE rooms can be atrocious.

What is the most important capacity or attribute that humans possess?
There are lots of contenders that are unquestionably essential, but ~ because it makes all the other attributes and capacities work, and because it is the foundation for our identity and individuality, I'll vote for...
Memory
What attribute or capacity is your favourite contender?
[One selection only, please.]
Spending time with family and getting fresh air.

Because people keep coming up with their own interpretations.
And is the correct one your one by any chance?

Exactly.

Thing is though, there are certain essentials that if not understood correctly are deadly wrong.
