...and then there is "elohim" ...
Yes, among several other Hebrew considerations for understanding.
Interesting notion ... being that Hegel's disciples are the creators of the two party political system here in the U S of A as well as the faux Russia/America antagonism. You might be on to something ... considering the fact that so many of our offered points of contention are both contrived and offered to us by those with something less than our best interest in mind and are, as often as not, purveyors of the Hegelian dialectic, whether knowingly or not.
Exactly. I know it to be true after extensively researching it for over 3 years to trace it all.
But, again, we circle back to the idea of salvation via proper doctrine.
Well... To beign, that again comes back to Greek word definitions, noun forms, and other grammatical considerations in translation.
Doctrine is rendered in English from three Greek words in various passages: Didaskalia, Didasko, and Logos.
Didaskalia is "that which is taught". Didasko is the verb form as "teaching". Logos requires a fairly extensive treatise to delineate, but should be basically understood as all the faculties and functionalities of inward thought and outward expression.
Salvation includes an inaugurating event, but is a being and becoming from that initiation until completion. There is a qualitative sense to what is salvific, but English minds can't comprehend that because that's an anarthrous construct and English has no equivalent for nouns (while Greek nouns can always have that construct relative to the designation of an articular).
Right doctrine (teaching, and the resulting renewed mind by God's Logos) is necessary to some degree for salvation. One cannot hear that which is not spoken about by God, and He hath spoken unto us in these last days by His Son.
But wrong doctrine can preclude or deter or supplant faith. So right doctrine may not be necessary in an extreme; but wrong doctrine is a huge concern. In that sense, it's very important to know what NOT to know.
A certain quality of doctrine is vital. A certain lack of quality as false doctrine can be eternally fatal.
