What happens when some tenet of the Bible grates against our sensibilities? In those circumstances, we have a choice of faith: trust in God and go with the self-disclosure of his word, or tap into human intellect, get out an eraser, and blur the distinctive line drawn in the sand. Christians have faced this test over and over, and, IMHO, failed over and over again in that test of faith. We always come up with a reason to stay in Haran.
How so? You may ask. Let me list some of the areas of doctrine where I see the problem...
Inclusivism
Universalism
Annihilationism
Cessationism
Perseverance of Salvation
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Infallibility of the Word
Inspiration of the Word
Holiness
Social Gospel
Liberation Gospel
Deliverance
If you'd like me to expound, leave a comment (I probably will at some point even if you don't ;-o ).
