The Folly of an Open Mind

God kept me.

As for opposing false doctrine with the truth of God's word, that's what I try to do.

Excuse me but being open minded is not taking anything in. It's You looking OUT at things and examining them using your intellect, logic and whatever other tools you have for determining truth. To determine biblical truth your tool is the word of God. We are commanded to make sure of all things. Try the Spirits...even the Bereans were commended for testing what Paul said against the word and they openly HEARD Paul...

That's what I do already. I don't plan on stopping.

Then I would say you are an open minded individual
