I have heard time and time again.... people saying...

" that's just my personal conviction". or "its just between me and the Lord"

But don't personal convictions = man made doctrine?

For example ...

Personal = Man Made

Convictions = Doctrine

Another example.... the issue of women always having to wear dresses....

Now some will say that's just my "personal conviction"..... but

They will try to use the bible to prove it....(not personal anymore) and also they think......they are right with God because they do such... (definitely not personal anymore)

Arn't personal convictions most of the time "Man made doctrine"? Especially if we think ourselves righteous for living by such standards. If they are biblically based.... then they are not personal.... right...

What you think?
