Romans 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

I am amazed that that 60's-ish "let's everybody just feel good with love and peace" sort of attitude often penetrates the language of God's people.

Paul advised to beware of people who argue about the law. Interestingly we have cultural laws today that are defended and people forget their roots. As I understand it, for instance, people taking off their hats indoors is a remnant of the head coverings laws in the NT, however, if someone tries to enforce half of the law without caring about the second half, then there probably isn't a whole lot of concern about what the actual meaning of the law really is.

THAT'S an example of legalism--keeping the law just for "keeping the law" without any real meaning in sight. (One possible meaning is "communication" in customs, of course)

At any rate, see above: this "theological" belief is a requirement for our salvation. "But what does this have to do with how I treat Suzy over here?" Dare I also hear such a person also say that, therefore, that point isn't worth arguing about? Clearly the interpersonal treatment comes out of our beliefs, but what I'm saying is, we draw from the Head of Christ or else there will be no "agree to disagree." We know that human beings are made to serve God, and if that's true, how could we possibly get along with the unbeliever, despite how "love and peace" (socially "nice") he or she seems to be? We also know that if a person truly loves, then they will respond to God and accept Him if He is properly introduced. If they love the truth, they'll accept God.

Something to think about. Making everyone "feel good" is good! But in faith we know that that only legitimately happens when we do it God's way. I know there is a gentle approach and a harsh approach (I picture Paul's statement to Corinth about a "staff" or a "whip"), and sometimes knowing where in that spectrum to go at what time is tricky, what will communicate the right thing, and of course, doing so all in love for fear of the Lord (Jude: "mercy, mixed with fear").

^Romans 14:1, referring to the weaker brother, I believe, is saying that while we should accept the brother, don't let him start arguments about "eating food to idols is evil" or nonsense like that, even if he is personally struggling with getting out of those sorts of thinking (tolerating him even if he's in that weaker mindset).

Otherwise, yes, the law is fundamentally for busting people. That's pretty much all it does, and then filled with fruits of the spirit fills other things out and we learn what to do with ourselves instead.

. . . 

Sorry Larry I realized that that was what you were saying anyway.

Meh, this is probably the most badly-articulated thing I've ever posted around here. My fault. I had in mind "religious tolerance."

I agree with the thrust of it.  It does not seem to be politically correct in much of the church today, as you point out.  The body has it's work cut out, doesn't it?

One thing we have to remember is that everyone are on different levels of learning and instead of bashing someone for not believing the way you do we need to have love and compassion and let Gods word speak for it's self and allow the Holy Spirit teach us all things, John 14:26. Some are taught through theology, through traditions and mans interpretations. Two people can disagree on the simplest things of Gods word and deem they are both right, but Gods word has one meaning and one interpretation and taught to us through His Spirit. We are to live by the commandment of love for everyone including our enemies and not only to love them unconditionally like Jesus loves us this way but to also pray for those who do not have Christ in them. It's a persons freewill choice to accept or reject God, but His word will always stand true and faithful.

As you can see in all the scriptures from Genesis chapter one to chapter twelve there is no mention of God creating any form of religion. We see God making a covenant with his people and how even after the covenant promises God made to Noah and to Abraham and his seed how man still turned away from God unto their own imaginations.

The disciples could not understand with their carnal minds, Romans 8:7, what Jesus was teaching them, but they knew he was a prophet sent from God and accepted the authority and power which he taught with through miracles, signs and wonders. It would not be until the Spirit of God was taken up out of the tomb and revealed to the hearts of those who believed on him that the same Spirit would be sent back down to dwell in the hearts of those who believed, Acts 1:2-8; Acts 2:1-4.

Acts 2:38,39 When we repent of our sins and ask Jesus into our hearts we are also receiving the promise of God that his Spirit will come and dwell in our hearts and teach us of all things we need to learn, John 14:26. The baptism that Peter was talking about in Acts 2:38 was a Spiritual rebirth through the word of God. Some people think it is being dunked or sprinkled with water the way John the Baptist did and there is nothing wrong with that for it is an outward appearance to man that you have received Jesus and the Holy Spirit into your life, Matthew 3:11, but Jesus himself never baptized with water for the baptism of Jesus was for receiving the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) that helps us to know the will of the Father, 1 Thessalonians 4:1-12.

John 14:26 but the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things back to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Theology can not teach you, man can not teach you, it is only by the Holy Spirit we will know all things that God wants to reveal to us for the time we need to know it.   

One thing we have to look at in theology that there are a lot of personal opinions through the way one is taught and opinions are only speculations of ones interpretation.

That sounds a whole lot like you are saying that we do not need teachers of the word of God.  Is that what you mean?

Actualy soterion, there are many people, non christains who came to Christ without ever hearing the scriptures or reading a bible, Jesus is quiet capable of teaching people without a book. the disciples didnt have one, they taught from the spirit, seems that worldy people are incapable of hearing from Him or think they might be going mad because they are hearing voices. " My sheep hear my voice and will follow no other".
See Jesus says where not mad .

In His love
