It is Christ Who taught me that I am justified by faith and it was Paul who confirmed it.

NG, with all due respect, please I mean no offense when I post this, you would find that most, if not all Christians would say the same as you have posted above.
Taking off doctrinal glasses means what to who?
If I'm a Arminian I'm told by the Calvinists to take off doctrinal glasses to see his truth, and visa versa.
Isn't that the tried a true mantra?
The Jehovah Witness is told by the Baptist to take off his doctrinal glasses so he can see the Baptist truth, or the Pentecostal truth?
Just think about the plethora of doctrinal teachings out there? Each group uses the same Bible, and Greek dictionary we use, and they all with one accord say that they believe that it is all about Christ and Him crucified, and justification by faith, but just happen to see it at slightly a different angle?
Yes, you do have faithful followers of Brother John Birch who will never question, or search, but we also have those who took off their "doctrinal glasses" put on another set of "doctrinal glasses" and end back where they started, yet, feel they have come to an enlightenment which the cave dwellers they use to be affiliated with don't have yet.
Jesus said that the well need no physician.
I do believe Internet Forum Land has proved that to be very true.
May the force be with you.
