When Doctrine Speaks Louder Than Love
I want to share this as a personal journal, not as a debate, not as a rebuttal, and not as a claim to being “right.” Through the question I asked and everything that followed, I came to a fresh realisation: the Holy Spirit truly teaches all truth. When we seek, ask, and knock, He is faithful to lead us—personally and inwardly—through the Word. I don’t need any teacher, interpreter, or debater to become the voice of God for my own growth. I deeply thank God for the gifts given to the Body of Christ—teachers, pastors, and those who share insight. They are precious. But Scripture also reminds us that we all know in part and prophesy in part. And sometimes knowledge is presented loudly, confidently, and passionately—yet it is no longer carrying the heart of Christ for those who are truly suffering. My original question was simple. People are being hurt by false deliverance practices. People are traumatised, confused, and blamed for their pain. People come looking for help—and leave more broken. But the responses I saw quickly became debates over doctrine, interpretations, and positions. The suffering people disappeared from the conversation. And the more I read, the more I felt I was witnessing something very familiar in Scripture—the spirit of the Pharisees: defending truth while missing love, arguing theology while neglecting mercy. So I decided to stop engaging in right-and-wrong arguments. Instead, I chose to return to the Lord. I’m sharing my personal video journaling here not to convince anyone, but to remind myself that Christ is my Shepherd. I don’t need to win theological ground. I don’t need to belong to a camp or clique. I don’t need to prove I am right while others are wrong. “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.” And I would add this from my heart: The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not be wrong. If this means standing alone at times—like Jeremiah—so be it. This world will always form groups, draw lines, and say, “I am right, you are wrong.” But I’m choosing a different path: to listen, to abide, to love, and to let the Spirit lead me into truth that produces life, not arguments.

By the way, I just want to clarify something from my heart. I’m actually not interested in debating labels like “once saved always saved” versus other theological systems. That’s not my aim. I’m simply trying to stay honest to what Scripture says and what the Lord has personally walked me through. I went through a season of deep guilt-consciousness. I tried to be a perfect Christian because I believed that if I was holy enough, obedient enough, disciplined enough, then God would finally heal me. When I saw others receive healing and I didn’t, I turned inward. Like Martin Luther, I examined myself endlessly, trying to fix myself so I could qualify for God’s grace. And that nearly broke me. What the Lord gently showed me was this: My healing, my perseverance, and my life were never meant to come from striving, but from abiding. He didn’t tell me to try harder. He told me to remain in Him. To come to Him daily. To let myself be loved. And it was in that place of abiding—not self-inspection—that my faith became steady and my heart learned to persevere. So when I speak about assurance, perseverance, and salvation, it’s not from theory. It’s from learning the hard way that self-effort produces guilt, but abiding produces endurance. That’s all I wanted to share. Grace to you all 🙏

I want to share a short reflection from my heart regarding the question I asked yesterday. I realised something important through this process: the Lord Himself is able to teach me through His Word. I don’t need any man to replace God’s teaching voice in my life. That realisation alone explains why so many so-called teachers today can confidently spread false deliverance teachings and still call it “truth.” When Scripture is no longer the final authority, personal interpretation quietly becomes god. What grieves me even more is this: much of the discussion that followed was not actually about the people who are suffering. My original question was never meant to win a theological argument. It was born out of concern—concern for those who are already wounded, traumatised, fearful, and then further harmed by false deliverance practices done in the name of Jesus. Yet I noticed that many responses were focused almost entirely on defending personal interpretations, theological positions, or proving who is right—while the suffering people themselves were barely mentioned. That revealed something to me. It showed how easy it is for us, as Christians, to be passionate about “truth” and yet forget love. To defend doctrine and yet overlook the broken hearts standing right in front of us. That is why I made my own personal video journaling. It is not meant to convince anyone. It is not meant to argue. It is not meant to gather views. It is a reminder to myself. A reminder that false deliverance has misrepresented Jesus, misrepresented Christianity, and caused real harm to real people who came looking for help. A reminder that theology without love becomes noise. A reminder that Jesus never treated suffering people as problems to be fixed or demons to be exposed, but as souls to be loved. I’m sharing this video here as my personal journal. I know many may not be interested in watching it—and that’s okay. I’m at peace with that. I would rather speak what the Lord has impressed on my heart, even if no one listens, than stay silent just to fit in.
