That doctrine divides while love unites is a quite foolish slogan. Here things are being separated that God has joined together, and we can never do that without consequence. No, we need doctrine, for without doctrine there is no faith and no obedience of faith, and thus no unity!

Benedikt Peters

Benedikt Peters ist ein schwedisch-schweizerischer Bibellehrer, Hebraist und Autor im konservativ-evangelikalen und freikirchlichen Raum. Seine Veröffentlichungen zeichnen sich durch eine historisch-grammatische Schriftauslegung aus und grenzen sich entschieden von historisch-kritischen sowie pfingstlich-charismatischen Strömungen ab. Für heutige Bibelleser bietet er fundierte Auslegungen zu biblischen Büchern, die altsprachliche Texttreue mit leicht verständlicher Erklärung verbinden.

I rejected the church for a time because I found so little grace there. I returned because I found grace nowhere else.

There is no perfect church. And besides, dear friend, if you ever found a perfect church, it would refuse to take you in. For as soon as it had taken you in, it would cease to be perfect. So your search is entirely useless.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

In a congregation, every person must be able to be as their heart truly is.
