Dear Aquila
I think we are finally finding some common ground.
I agree with you that we all believe the Bible, but differ in our interpretations.
I have long ago given up on the idea that I have perfect theology, but that does not mean that I do not have a theology.
There are things that I am willing to overlook in other Christians for the sake of brotherly love.
I am a Young Earth Creationist (YEC), and I am not going to change, but I have no problem fellowshipping with those who are not YEC
I am a Sabbath day believer, and no I am not going to give it up, but I do not find that a reason not to get together with brethren who worship on Sunday.
Jesus said that we would be known as his disciples if we loved one another, not based on our correct theology. Those who bash other Christian brethren because they do not have a perfect theology (Which means their theology) seem to be missing the point.
As you can see I try to be open minded without giving up my doctrinal views. Could I be wrong in my doctrines? Well we all could be wrong about anything and everything.
The reason I have my doctrinal views is because I believe that this is what God has revealed to me.
Jesus said that we would receive the spirit of truth that would guide us into all truth. So I believe that God is guiding me into all truth little by little as I am able to receive.
