So thankful for this episode brother. It’s been a great one to share with others I love as a good starting place for healthier dialogue. I particularly like how it was emphasized we all have this in common. For us to truly grow we have to start here in genuine self reflection.
I wonder if there is a point at which we need to reject doctrines or if we are obligated to listen to all of them. This seems like it would be an impossible task given how many different (and conflicting) ideas there are. If we are to remain steadfast in something, we must then believe that it is the correct doctrine.
That is likely why summary statements of the Gospel, or "Christ hymns," became so important in the early church and why later creeds were developed. There are some core fundamental doctrines that need to be settled in our minds. These are issues on which we must not entertain any contradictory ideas. However, sometimes we ourselves might not understand even these fundamental doctrines correctly and when someone tries to help us understand them better, we reject their instruction because we are unwilling to consider any new information. All of this is why we have to be so fully invested in Jesus that we are humble enough to keep learning the way of Christ more perfectly and completely.
