And the early Christian approach to any doctrine, they first focused on following and preserving what had been handed down to them. We don't have that luxury. I mean, what was handed to our from our parents, yeah, we can't say, well, this came from the apostles or from a disciple of the apostles, but they could. Second, they built their beliefs on the totality of the New Testament instead of placing certain books above other ones. It's any books we have to hide under the rug, any verses, chapters of the Bible.
No, our doctrine needs to embrace it all.
