>>Tom F. started a very good thread on the errors of ubf
>>doctrine, but the thread was somewhat blown off course
>>by a ubf spammer, who added nothing to any discussion.
>> With your permission, I woul dlike to start another
>>thread on doctrine, free and clear of mischievous
>>spammers. Here is the exact topic he began
>>
>>
>>It has been said plenty of times that UBF is socially
>>and ethically corrupt. What about its doctrine, its
>>belief systems? What incorrect beliefs does it hold on
>>to (i.e., using scripture out of context, etc) that
>>would make it crossover to being a cult? I have a few
>>ideas, please add more:
>>
>>
>>
>>One thing I would like to point out, is that any
>>reputable Bible college will have numerous classes in
>>doctrine and theology.
>>
>>
>>Here are the objectives to doctrine and theology study
>>for undergrads at Moody.
>>
>>
>>These are the Program Objectives taken from page 158
>>of their undergraduate catalog
>>
>>Program Objectives
>>Students who complete the requirements for this
>>emphasis should
>>
>>• Be familiar with the theological methods of study
>>with an emphasis on exegetical procedures
>>
>>• Be competently prepared in their understanding of
>>the major biblical doctrines through systematic study
>>
>>• Be able to correlate, integrate, and defend the
>>various biblical doctrines
>>
>>• Be prepared through historical and doctrinal
>>orientation to evaluate theological developments
>>
>>• Be developing a biblical, theological basis for
>>Christian maturity, ethics, and service
>>
>>
>>
>>On the other hand, we had a ubf defender sputing the
>>ubf objective of 'to study the Bible and live
>>according to its teachings'. The pitfalls here are
>>1. ubf does not study the Bible properly
>>2. ubf ignores the parts of the Bible that do not
>>support it own objectives
>>3. ubf leaders are treated according to a different
>>standard
>>
>>And so on. I hope we can discuss doctrine as the
>>reputable groups see it, and then compare that to the
>>ubf doctrine.
