Well, accurate is not enough. The scribes and pharisees were accurate, even to following the Law to tithing of their dill harvest. (Have you ever harvested dill?) But they left out compassion. Paul wrote that we are not to have any association with evil doers, those who commit adultery, who rob and steal, who murder and those sort of things. But the true test of love, as God loves us, is to overlook the other person's faults, to not even take notice of them, and to intercede for them with God. This is after all how God deals with us, if we are His. Jesus loves us, and draws us near to God through Himself, interceding for us always with God, that we become more like Him.
I have read most of your posts here, and I could not say those things to another who believes in Jesus, not even to another who did not believe in Jesus. The strongest rebukes that Jesus had for anyone, which we often forget, was to the religious who thought they were right because of correct knowledge. They accused Jesus of a deeper form of heresy, blasphemy, because He claimed to be God's Son. In their minds, according to their knowledge, this made Jesus to be equal with God, because in the Jewish mind, the son is equal to the father. Even worse, He claimed to be the only born Son of God, which made Him to be above everyone else who ever lived, even greater than Abraham or Moses. Of course, He told them that He was there before Abraham. They said that they were of Abraham's seed. His answer? They were of their father the devil.
They were right according to their knowledge. No one could have been born of God, be His Son. But they were wrong in that they condemned Him outright, without cause. Why without cause? So what if one claims to be God's Son? What fault is that in the Law? And so it is with this discussion. It is considered wrong that one does not believe in the accepted way about the nature of God. But first, it is not said anywhere in scripture that we are to even chastise those who have what we consider a wrong view of God's nature. We are certainly not to condemn them. Secondly, it is not of the Spirit to condemn those who do not see God's nature as we do. There is no compassion in doing so.
I have found that as I grow into Jesus Christ, that my view of God changes, because He is bigger than any words to describe Him, bigger than any thought which can see Him. We are barely able to behold Him at all, and this only because of the love of God Himself for us, sending His Son to be a sacrifice for us. The writer of Hebrews went all "spiritual" on us in chapter 6, verses 7 & 8, saying: For ground that drinks the rain which often falls upon it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.
The ground that drinks the rain is our hearts, and the rain is God's love.
