What are important doctrines?
In this video and article, Richard compares some examples of essential and non-essential doctrines that have been presented over the course of history. On the one hand we have the Nicene Creed which had to be defended against opposition, and later the return to justification by faith at the time of the Reformation. On the other hand however, there are things like the Temperance Movement, which whilst achieving some degree of good at the time, proved neverthless to be distractions. He then brings us right up to date by highlighting how essential issues such as creation and personal morality are being greatly overlooked.
