I believe it is right and good for us to pick and choose as God leads us in our consideration of the Scriptures. But, I also believe that, in spite of our sinfullness, our choices (on non-fundimental doctrines) can be just honest errors of judgement, and not always decided by pre-conceived notions or preferences. In some cases, in spite of our best efforts, because we are not infallible, we don't do the analysis well and so we don't choose correctly. And, as you said, we need to humbly admit to that possiblility. We also need to be ready to have fellowship in Christ with our brothers who have honestly come to another conclusion in regard to the particular doctrinal detail.Slow Learnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12767279569740987325noreply@blogger.com
