People may have doctrines of men but in my estimation they is based on convictions and traditions of men not sound understanding of scripture.
2Ti 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2Ti 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
2Ti 2:16 But shun profane and
vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2Ti 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
There are so many man made doctrines based on a scripture that speaks in a negative light about a subject that it is unreal. Lets get real and look farther than one verse and study the whole subject and get understanding of what God truly ment. And or what the writer was saying. Look at the ministry of Jesus, oh how we forget. Jesus did not condem his diciples for doing work on the sabbath day, yet some get upeset if a women is used of God to speak a message to the church. How pety is God, God or is man. In my estimation if God wants to use a women he can. This may seem off the subject but I give it as a example. Many have said if some one has not been baptized in in the exact way they beleive one is not saved, yet God has seen fit to give them the Holy Ghost upon their repentance. It is my understanding that God does not give someone the Holy Ghost unless they are saved. hmmm
