Griper,

You didn’t answer the question of the post.

I’ll ignore your rudeness and ask it again. Is it a sin to teach false doctrine?

The answer to your question is this:
Yes, it is bearing false witness when a person intentionally misrepresents the position of another.

My second question to you (in addition to the post) is: What’s your point? Are you asking hypothetically or do you have a specific case in mind?

This is a post about whether it is sinful to teach false doctrine. You have changed the subject to be about bearing false witness.

So are you accusing someone of false witness or are you just arbitrarily changing the subject?

If you want to discuss a topic other than the one I bring up, get your own blog.

If you want to make an accusation, then by all means do so. But at least be kind enough to sign your real name. I am not willing to entertain accusations, explicit or implicit, from someone who will not reveal his identity.

And if you are neither going to stay on topic nor get to a point, then please keep quiet.

Be careful. And Griper,

I would say that for about a year or so, I struggled with anger against those who taught me decision theology, separate and succeding baptism of various sorts, etc. One day, I asked one of our pastors if the pastors who taught me false doctrine would be punished in some way by God. He smiled and reminded me that our own sinful desires would like that to be true. He then assured me that unless they were purposely and persistently teaching things they already knew to be false (thereby losing their faith), then they too would worship at the throne with me. I think it was then that my anger began to coexist with compassion for them. Pastor Stiegemeyer,

Even doing so by accident or out of ignorance constitutes a sin. However, it's the <i>persisting</i> in this sin that really causes the problems. Well, duh.
