I believe the above statement in a nutshell describes your posts.
You have a Fundamentalist doctrine also. The main Fundamental seems
to be I'm OK , you're OK, Its all OK.  It seems that *your* doctrine
is this: There IS no doctrine, only perspectives. Yes its true, we see
through a glass darkly, but its only ONE glass -- not many.  There is
a name for the kind of Fundamentalism you proclaim, it is called
Liberalism .

Jude 3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the
common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you
that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered
unto the saints.
Eph 4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and
cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive


I quoted the above verses because I haven't seen a single verse from the
Bible introduced in these posts.  It has ALL been the word of man
and I think a discussion about something as old fashioned as doctrine
out to at least on occasion refer to the Bible as quaint as that may
be.

Where do you teach this "theology" and have you studied
psychology?
