"Only Christians go to heaven" is a doctrine that is supported biblically if interpreted a certian way. There is plenty of other evidence in scripture that this doctrine may not be true. Given the doubt, it is important that we as Christians hold our doctrines with humility, as they are only futile attempts to grasp the power message of the scriptures. To claim that we have interpreted scriptures correctly and condemn other viewpoints often leads to a great misfortune: false doctrine. We as Christians need to focus on preaching what we all hold as True, not things that might be true, we think are true or want to be true. As it is, something that might be true might also be false.Dentonz said:If you call it pride to say that the Bible is the Divine Word of God; then so be it. Let God be the judge if I speak out of pride or not. He is eternal, Almighty and he said it so I'll leave this to you and him.
To God be all glory, honor, power and praise.
No one hear can say "my interpretation is true, and yours is false." In the case of two opposing views, it's likely that neither interpretation is true! I am all for discussing what the truth could possibly be, but the second we assert we have 'figured it out' is the second we are led astray from the purpose of the gospel. This assertion that we are correct despite amibuity in the scriptures is precisely the 'pride' that Mister T is referring to.
