Why Can’t We All Just Get Along
To Each His Own

The Difference of Doctrines & Beliefs
Doctrine is the act of teaching and the manner of it, the matter or the contents of any teaching. What is taught, body of instruction, Religion or political belief, such principles, dogma.

Believe means to accept as true or as conveying the truth, have faith in the existence of. Put faith or confidence in.

Belief is religious conviction, firm opinion, acceptance, trust or confidence.

Difference, being different (unlike, distinct, separate, dissimilar) quantity by which amounts differs, deficit (3+3=6, 2+4=6), discrepancy, disagreement, diversity, variation.

Philippians 2:4, look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Do we rely on our own intellect, what we believe the word is saying, or simply what a man say? Do we decide that another man is wrong because the Bible does not specifically say what his belief is or what he understand it to be? God has given to every man a measure of faith and we must learn to respect the next person where they are. God is not pleased that we are separated by religiosity beliefs. There is but one God and how a man chooses to serve him is between he and God. Too many men are losing focus on God because the Devil is keeping them bound by looking at each other rather than staying focused. What’s really going on when a man go to war, he must have his mind clear of all situations, problems and desires. We are in a fight that we are losing because of a difference in doctrinal beliefs. It is time we stop putting our brothers down but encourage, build them up and respect them. God is not pleased with our actions thus far and this is why Satan is running rampant in the land and we stand by and watch. We are fighting a battle within our own churches. If he can keep this battle up, he will win the war against us and we will fail God, but in the end God wins and we lose. Saints it is time we awaken out of sleep and stop being ignorant of Satan’s devices.

Surely people will have differences of opinions concerning things because God made every man different. No two minds is alike, even twins or triplets. Normally two people do not speak the same or think the same way. One man may teach that the fox jumped over the fence while another may teach that the brown fox jumped over the fence. Man is full of diversity so one may add the color while the other think plain. To one it may not have mattered what color the fox was as long as he jumped over the fence and is now on the right side where he belongs. We have to learn to respect the diversity in people. This has cause religion to be more political than politics. We cut down each other and we dredge up dirt on each other, put down each other separate distinct religious convictions. We act just like our adversary the Devil wants us to. It is time we look into our makeup and amend our ways. That is why God say our thoughts or our ways is not like his. God sees a soul, the spirit of man while we see people. God corrects and we condemn. God say we are to prosper in life as our souls prosper, but we say we are prosperous because we have things. Man is so different from his creator. With God 4+2=6, 3+3=6, or 5+1=6. What matters is that the total is 6. So what if we come to the final in different means, as long as we finish in honesty and truth. Too much emphasis is put on mediocre stuff. Too much emphasis is placed in areas where it should not be.

We spend too much time worrying about things that does not matter. It is ludicrous to worry about whether God is black, white, red, short, rich or poor, and not rather we are using his word properly in reaching a lost soul back to him.

Difference of doctrines and beliefs will keep somebody out of the blessings of God. Hew are we to know if what that persons belief is interfering with his relationship to God or not. He may believe that God is blue and we believe black, but if he is serving God in spirit and in truth, living a clean holy life, sanctified pure life and his heart is sold out to God, and he is living all he know how to live, are we right to say his belief of religious denomination is going to take him to Hell, please. We need to consider that someone is saying the same about you and your doctrinal belief. It is time to stop the civil war in the church and fight the true fight of faith.

Matthew 15:9, in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. We do not have to worry about doctrine being taught if it is not of God, He will root it up. Jesus even save of the doctrines that it was not his but God’s. And that being if any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself. God also said in Romans 16:17 to mark them that cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them. We do not want to be tossed to and fro carried about with every wind of doctrines by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness where by they lie in wait to deceive. We should not be beguiled by men with enticing words, spoiled through philosophy and vain deceit after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ. This will cause us to perish before God. Hold your faith and have a good conscience toward God. I Timothy 4:1 say now the Spirit speaks expressly the in the latter times some shall depart from the faith; giving heed to doctrines of Devils and seducing spirits, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry and commanding to abstain from meats. Refuse profane and old wives fables and exercise thy self rather unto godliness.

We should stay away from these things because if they teach contrary and do not consider the word, they have a proud spirit, do not know nothing but dote about questions and strife of words, where by they only bring about envy, strife, railing, evil surmising, perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness.

The Word admonishes us to keep that which has been entrusted to our care, and to avoid oppositions of so called scientific doctrines. There are many vain unruly talkers that are deceiving many for the Bible says, even the very elect may be deceived for the most of them will be of the circumcision. These must be stopped but not with violence or switching insults about denominations but through true heartfelt prayer to God for the mind of our brother or sister
