From what i understood about this is the reason we have only 10 is because it is no longer through our works that we have our salvation that and the 10 commandments where not a replacement of the old commandments but simplified so they can see what really is important but like i said thats just me im still new but im trying thats all that matters XP

I won't bother covering ground that's already been covered in this forum right now, but I would point out that salvation was never through works. Abraham's righteousness was through faith, same with everyone in the OT.

I ignore almost every doctrine that comes up, except those which tend to place a physical requirement upon those who would follow Christ. The reason is simple; God is spirit, we cannot see Him with our physical eyes, nor can we worship Him or even follow Him in the physical realm. We are born children of God, we have His seed in us, and my conviction is that we should cultivate that seed, and let everything else die. In truth, everything else is already dead, just is not accepting of that fact.

Divisions come when we place importance on doctrine and reasoning, and ignore our spiritual lives that are ours in the Holy Spirit, in Christ.

You attack or at least diminish doctrine and reasoning. Yet you don't seem to realize that you are using reasoning and you have your essential doctrines too. It's like you're sawing off the branch you're sitting on.

I guess Paul confronting Peter over the doctrine of the gospel was causing division and a bad thing?
