The Bible is very clear that everything God says is important. James 2:10 says, "For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all." John 14:15 reads, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." The Bible never says one command is more important than another. Jesus said, "Keep My commandments (plural). He did not say "Believe in Me and everything else is up for grabs."
It's ironic that we spent 20 years battle for biblical integrity and now we have Southern Baptists who are attempting to turn God's Word into a biblical cafeteria in which one must choose a main entree ( believe in Christ) but everything else is optional.
We must unashamedly stand for the truth of God's word. We must preach and teach all of God's Word. We must be faithful to the biblical text. All of God's Word is equally important. Do not be misled by those who would have you prioritize the word of God. They are deceivers who have crept in unnoticed. They must be opposed, exposed, and deposed.
Stand up for the truth of God's Word!

Keep on preaching the truth. They won't like it and will howl and scream but keep on.
Do you see where I'm coming from? Love you, my brother.
Keep up the good work--you must be offending them and their self-appointed trolls.
I hear you, but I disagree with you. When we begin to allow grading of the scriptures, then we are diminishing the importance of scripture. It's all important.

I hear you, and I know it's all important. But that's a bit ambiguous, wouldn't you say? Are all doctrines important ENOUGH to split churches or reject cooperative agreement in missions?
Les, have you read Romans 14?
