Many things practiced by Christians are actually not Christian DOCTRINE. Many, if not most, are church/denominational DOGMA. How can you spot the difference? If they use SCRIPTURE to defend it, it is DOCTRINE. If they use LOGIC to defend it, no matter how convincing it sounds, it is DOGMA. Carefully read 2 Timothy 3:16 which says, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for DOCTRINE”. Anything that cannot pass the 2 Timothy 3:16 test is DOGMA. DOGMA will take you to the BROAD WAY and WIDE GATE Christ preached against in Matthew 7:13. DOCTRINE will lead you to the STRAIT GATE and NARROW WAY of Matthew 7:14. 2 Timothy 3:12 says “all that will live godly in Christ shall suffer persecution.” If I mistakenly preach against some DOGMATIC ‘Christian’ celebrations that have no root in Scripture, you will see how speedily Christians will rush to defend them with logic. Why? Because according to Matthew 7:13, BROAD is the WAY that leads to (fill in the gap) and MANY are on it!
