VS, I can't argue that any of these points are not true; but i can argue that they, the doctrines, often remove a believer from doing to postulating. I can't think of a single doctrine that modifies
Love your neighbor as yourself in the slightest--let alone one that can be conclusively proven to the satisfaction of every believer. They are herrings (red herrings, or white herrings?

), and take one from Christ to division. Or at least that is all the fruit i witness from them. They do not function otherwise, or point to a better walk. If so, how so? Imo, when Herman enters, the Spirit leaves.
I mean, what will be the believer's reasoning for "why didn't you feed that guy? "Oh, well, the hermeneutics convinced me not to?"
