If it does matter, how does it matter?
Does it take away from ANY of the linchpin doctrines of our faith?

Yes, it does matter. If there are errors, and I can prove there are many, then we have a moral responsibility to admit there are mistakes. We must also have the courage to admit that there is a lot we don’t know and that our judgments in the past were wrong.
Good luck getting staunch Apostolics to admit they were (are) wrong. Failing to confess our misleading dogmas of the past is what’s causing people to look elsewhere for answers.
So Jermyn, does your (Faith) Religion save people? What are your "Linchpins", and if others don’t agree with you, are they still going to be accepted by God in the end?
If you can’t answer the above question with an unwavering, solid answer, then the Bible is not clear about Faith or the realms we know nothing about. Sorry, but I feel God is far bigger than one Book that no one can agree upon.
