Doctrines, no matter which path of human endeavor they come from, must serve the humans, not the humans serving the doctrines. __ove thy neighbor_ - is a great doctrine, but more importantly, it is an unparalleled piece of magnificent human teaching _ as such, whoever practices it, becomes a better human, a real human. On the other hand, there is another doctrine that says __od may purify the believers and destroy the disbelievers_ _ now would you, as a real conscientious human being, consider this one as a great beneficial doctrine or teaching for humanity? Far from being great, doctrines like this are the ones that compel the human society to forget its innate humanism.

As we grow in the Christian life we face increasing danger of spiritual pride. We know the correct doctrines, the right methods, and the proper do's and don'ts. But we may not see the poverty of our own spiritual character. We may not see our critical and unforgiving spirit, our habit of backbiting, or our tendency to judge others. We may become like the Laodiceans of whom our Lord said, 'You say, "I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing." But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked' (Revelation 3:17).

Intelligent men do not decide any subject until they have carefully examined both or all sides of it.
