frosbel:
My experience and belief is progressive and evolutionary, after all God is not static as some false teachers will try to make him out to be, God is a revelator and truth is not exhaustive, we shall continue to learn till the knowledge of the Lord fills and soaks the earth at the time of the establishment of his Kingdom.

You see , unlike your stagnant situation in the cesspit of orthodoxy and dogmatism , I have learnt to discover things for myself while asking God for wisdom and retaining the crucial element of humility to ensure I do not go astray.

God does not reward adherence to doctrinal positions, he rewards those who rightly divide the word of the truth.

Thank You again for your immense contributions.

Knowing this that you know less than 1% that there is to be known about the world and God, shouldn't that teach you to be more permissive even when you see people in the wrong?

How exactly did Jesus handle the issue of false teachers?

Did he call for a revolution to force his ideas even though He knew it all?

the wrath of Jesus was almost always directed at false teachers, he shook their establishment and they killed him.

Do you just choose what you want to respond to and ignore tricky ones?

Jesus told a parable of the wheat and tare, take note of the servant and his own way of dealing with the conundrum. I am sure you are familiar with the parable.

Matthew 13
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? ( the servant was about doing what yo are doing right now, guess what the owner(Jesus) said-

29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them(frosbel, what did Jesus say? burn them!): but gather the wheat into my barn.

God is the God of justice, there shall certainly be a day of harvest where the wheat will be separated from the tare. Your job as a christian isn't to gather them up but to constantly share God's word to anyone willing to hear. No room for any form of confrontation or violence my friend.

Should we then stay silent and let people remain in darkness or should we reveal the truth so they can be saved ?

Your problem does not seem to be the salvation of their soul and that in itself should be your primary concern. When they understand scripture, discerning false teachers and false practices will become easier.

True Christians can't stay silent, we must teach the true Word of God just as the bible had commissioned us to. But, how do we do this, if we lack the true knowledge of scripture? Can the blind lead the blind?

I think more effort should be put into studying and teaching than other worldly aggressive measures that has no precedence in scripture.

It is actually because if the deception is not removed how can they understand the real message of the gospel.

Read ; Matthew 23:15

Do you agree that not all your teachings are truth ?

Good question.

How can those who hold on to myths lead anyone into the real TRUTH ?

Funny thing is , those who held on to the position of orthodoxy in the past committed the worse acts of aggressions over a thousand years, this is a fact. Welcome to the crusades and inquisitions.

Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? You can't remove deception by force but by impacting true knowledge. Only true knowledge of Christ set one free.

If there is any prayer I take seriously. it will be that I don't mislead anyone in the things that concern God. Hence why I juxtapose any idea I have with scripture to find out the truth. If scripture does not support my idea, I dump it straight away, no matter how hard..and trust me, it can be difficult to do some times.

Men are first men before being Christians.. We are all fallible as men. The worse thing is what you advocate, a situation where we have no guide to structure our mind, no standard to control our excesses. Freedom to do as we choose, as long as we feel it is good by our own self judgement.
