Doctrinal Drift

in #religion6 years ago

Hebrews 2:1

1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed
to the things which we have heard, lest at any time
we should let them slip.

As a theory, continental drift was first suggested in 1596—the idea that today’s continents were originally together, gradually drifting apart. That idea is now discussed under the theory of plate tectonics—the motion of the world’s seven or eight major (and other minor) tectonic plates. The movement of those plates is the major cause of earthquakes as we know them today.

Have you ever seen one of earth’s tectonic plates move? Probably not, unless you have seen the action of a major earthquake. Plates drift imperceptibly, but the effects of such drifts are all too real. The same is true of “doctrinal drift,” warned about by the writer of the letter to the Hebrews. He warned his readers about drifting away from the truth by not giving “earnest heed” to doctrine. Such drifts happen slowly, but their effects are eventually seen: lukewarm affections, apathy, disinterest in worship, changes in values and priorities, and a loss of love. How to prevent doctrinal drift? Bible study, fellowship, prayer, worship, and “earnest heed” to matters of the faith. Send the roots of your faith deeply into Christ to avoid drifting from Him.

Proverbs 3:19-23

19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by
understanding hath he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the
clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep
sound wisdom and discretion:
22 So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to
thy neck.
23 Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy
foot shall not stumble.

Faith cannot stand, unless it is founded on the
promises of God. ~ John Calvin

Thanks for continues sharing religious content.Greetings and blessings

El hombre siempre debe cuidar su amor hacia a Dios y sus principios llenandose cada dia de su espiritu.

a doctrine is made by only doing things out of self-conviction everything becomes routine.

The gospel is not about doctrine but about persecution, in the search for God.

Yes you are right. People do not like listening to bad reviews about themselves. Therefore, people must believe in God.

People always want support to move forward, be happy. And God always helps the kind and merciful people.

very good very good! I liked this message dear Brother. Greetings and blessings

Earthquake is very scary. People can die. We need to ask God to help people.

Excellent comparison of the movement of the plates and the biblical drift

Once it was Atlantis. This is a legendary country, which is sung by God Plato. Now there is no Atlantis. With strong earthquake, the layers converged. Therefore, we need to ask God for help.
