Shalom to everyone :o)

=20

I have been reading the things people wrote about "Doctrinal =
Statements",

What people feel about it, and some comment from non-Christian.

=20

I have a question=85 What is the purpose in doctrinal statements???

Don't we know what believing in Christ is all about?

I understand that we see something's differently, but why???

We can't change one another, that is the work of the Holy Spirit, if we =
let him

 do so and if we do our share. All we can do is to be faithful to our =
Lord and

 letting the Holy Spirit touch others through us, and not being self =
centered people.

=20

Why is a person, and a believer a specially, feels the need to explain =
himself=20

or his way of thinking to others such eagerly? Is he trying to convince =
himself

 by convincing others??? I believe that a believer that is TRULY guided =
by the

 Spirit owes no explanation to anyone!



The Sword is supposed to be a learning tool, so I guess that anyone that =
has

It would use it in a way that he/she feels right about it.

=20

Being a Jew that believes in Jesus/Yeshua I don't think that the Sword =
should

Have the Quran module. The Sword is a tool for those who believe in =
Jesus

 and follow him. It could be a tool for non-Christian so they may come =
to know Christ.

So, we can add modules of Prophecies and matters alike.=20

=20

Those of you that don't believe in Jesus, you may use the Sword for the =
OT, but

You should find another software for anything beyond.

=20

As for our self, Christians, don't you see how the devil tries to ruin =
what we do?

The Sword can (and it is) be a blessing to many, so why let the devil =
take it to other places?

As for debating, it just doesn't fit to how we supposed to be.

=20

I call you all, please leave those issues alone, and let us focus in the =
good things that edify us=20

and the things that will make us closer on to another instead of letting =
Satan put a Sword between us!

                      with Christ's love,
