@divegeester said"See" whatever you want.
You seem to be backing away from calling me “reprobate” and my posting “Antichrist”.
I can see why you will be doing that.
Your reading comprehension is obviously diminished.
@josephw saidYou have previously called me “an enemy of God” and you ran away from that insult, and now in this thread you call me “reprobate” and my posts “Antichrist” and you are again running away from your nasty insults.
"See" whatever you want.
Your reading comprehension is obviously diminished.
Not very edifying behaviour.

@divegeester saidNo. The OP is a blurt of personal opinion. It's just some prattle you dreamt up to try and create division and confusion about the veracity of God's Word.
Ok had a look.
So you agree with my OP then, except my assertion “any other doctrine”?
And you are divisive, made evident by your replies to selective statements made in random posts by me and others. Not to mention the ignoring of the wholesale heretical blurtings of your bedfellow Rajk.
Your twisting and turning is blatantly obvious. Just not to you.

@divegeester saidDon't be a hypocrite.
You have previously called me “an enemy of God” and you ran away from that insult, and now in this thread you call me “reprobate” and my posts “Antichrist” and you are again running away from your nasty insults.

@fmf saidThe opposite is true.
The whole point is that opinions and interpretations differ about what the Bible says when you "let it speak for itself".
But you wouldn't know anything about that since your opinion is that none of what the Bible says is valid.

Why don’t you tell me which of the teaching/doctrines in my OP you think ARE essential for salvation?
I don't see that as the point at all - that I argue one of those (legitimate) aspects of the Bible is an essential to being saved.
Rather I would refer to God desiring all men be saved AND in addition to that come to the full knowlesdge of the truth.
" . . . our Savior God, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth." (1 Tim. 2:3,4)
I see two extremes to be avoided.
One - to heap up other matters to the basics of receiving the Savior God.
The other, to throw all protections around learning anything because you think "come to the full knowledge of the truth" doesn't matter, Ie. "I'm saved. Keep quiet about anything else. What God desires about the full knowledge of the truth doesn't concern me at all."

@divegeester saidSince you are throwing out not only several passages of scriptures but whole books of scripture, I don’t think it matters what you think is essential or not. I asked earlier since there is so much you reject what is it you accept and how do you decide what is good or bad?
Which is the doctrines in my OP are in your opinion essential to be believed in for salvation?
When you are done casting away or adding to scripture to make it palatable to you the gospel your left with, the Jesus you are left with are not the ones in the Bible they instead are only found between your ears. So who you are counting on is of your own making not the One who made you.

@kellyjay saidI’m very happy that you can’t name one, kind of proves my point 🙂

@divegeester saidI think you are missing the most important part of the conversation.

@divegeester saidYou are a sad case you treat everything as if it all fits with in your preconceived ideas from the Word of God and the opinions of others.
The OP is the most important part of the conversation.
Thanks for confirming that you agree with it.
