Hi there,
I was having a chat to someone and I mentioned predestination. I pointed out some very strange, unsound arguments against it that had no biblical support.
Anyway, I was told in the end ''Doctrine Doesn't Matter', It's all about the Gospel and Saving Souls''.
I must say I disagree, since as I actually studied the word, for me, I believe how we understand God and his word is ESSENTIAL to our salvation.
Sure, some points may be non-salvational, but surely it's vital we understand as much as we can to get a big picture of God and his plan. Is it no important to understand that we are not here for ourselves, but for his glory?
What does scripture have to say on this?
