Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

"Error of Opinion may be tolerated where Reason is left free to combat it." 
-- Thomas Jefferson

Every error is an opportunity to teach the truth if you have the truth.

Diamond's dazzling beauty is seen more clearly with a dark background. So, let the darkness of errors be exploited to manifest the beauty of the truth.

Fearing that debate may confuse the weaker saints is hyped up and patronizing, in my opinion. Would you rather that they are confronted by errors when stronger saints are not around to confront and grind the errors?

Hebrews 5:14 KJV — But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Let the senses of the weaker brethren be EXERCISED; show them how you - who are of full age - dissect, mince, and dispose of errors... if you have the truth.

There is no need to patronize the weaker saints; don't leave them in that state. Exercise their senses, make them strong.

Awesome!!!! Yes! Those who run from the debate are overly sensitive. This is a deadly error to society.

This idea of fearing debate causes another wicked idea that truth is relative, meaning, agreeing for the sake of peace, not willing to hash it out.

This validation of two opposing opinions violates logical conclusions concerning what truth is. This is absurd, borderline insanity.

Well, the opposite of this error could be....obedience.

Obeying Scripture (Hebrews 5-14) is like salve ๐Ÿงด on society, bringing in medicine by the light of truth, causing many to change their mind concerning the error.

Agreeing to disagree is a coward's copout. That's just my opinion.

Reggie Lee
Sing F Lau, your opinion is actually agreeing with the truth. And agreeing to disagree is just that, cowardly! Amen!!! I was going to say that in my first response, them being cowardly!!

Reggie Lee
Ever heard of the seeker-sensitive move? This idea of agreeing to disagree is what brought this error to the body of Christ... plus greedy for gain... get as many in the house then teach that tithing heresy...

Sing
If a man thinks I'm in error, he owes me a sincere effort to show me my error. Don't agree to disagree and leave me in my error! That's cruel and unbiblical.

James 5
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Of course, there are unteachable and incorrigible folks.

Reggie Lee
Sing F Lau, from such simply turn away...
