Romans 16:17 warns, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.”
2 Thessalonians 3:5-6 says, “And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.”
I personally, along with others, believe that Doxa's erroneous doctrine is a deviation from sound rule and order and departs from what we've learned in the Word of God. Her teaching has also caused some division. Wouldn't you agree?

Yeah, I would agree. I'm sorry to have fanned the flames like I did. I also appreciate that you see that I wasn't just trying to do just that, but that I initially just wanted to balance things out, since I percieved that things were going to go south (like they did, and without my understanding that it was inevitable).
Thank you Forrest.
Much Love in Christ Jesus,
Stephen
