In fact THE fundamental mark of liberalism is its constant attack against solid biblical teaching. A growing number of people such as Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn, and the many, many others in the worldly ecumenical movement are saying, &#8220;Doctrine is not important. God is important. Let&#8217;s lay aside our petty doctrinal differences and get back to God.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>My first question is &#8220;Which God are you preaching?&#8221; But more than that, where is Jesus Christ in all of this and which Jesus are you following?<\/p>\n<p>The number one top and most important doctrine of the church is none other than &#8220;Jesus Christ.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>2 John 1:9 &#8211; 11 (KJV) Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him Godspeed: For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>You see, in attacking doctrine, the ultimate goal is to attack Jesus Christ himself.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110511095449\/http:\/\/www.theconservativevoice.com\/article\/22972.html\">Click here to read this entire article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Prophezine News\u00a0 By Ray&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":96,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[191],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3321","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-on-christian-faith","wpcat-191-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why is Doctrine Important?
