When you have a good solid foundation of understanding and knowledge of the Word you immediately recognize error when you hear it or read it.

Oh my!!!!!!!!!
Amen!
I believe a good solid foundational doctrine is what has kept some of us going. I know that if it had not been for the basic doctrine taught to me as a youth, I would not have came back to God after having left. That and all those prayers of my mom and dads.
But if Doctrine is a sure footing, the continual teaching of doctrine would be to me a pathway, or a navigator, for my life in God. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good hoe down here and there. But I want some meat for dinner more often than not.
