30 hallmarks - 19: better doctrine, fewer fights

In 1998 the then Cardinal Ratzinger on behalf of the Catholic Church revealed that their archives (two thirds of which are lost) indicate around 25 million have been killed by the church for being 'heretics' over the centuries. How did this all start? Doctrine. It became the reason for bitter division and distrust.

But today doctrine is more like an unchanging foundation beneath our feet, an anchor which keeps us from drifting away from the truth.

Whole denominations today are sinking without trace. Why? Because they chose to depart from conservative doctrine and head down the road of liberalism.

Every major heresy that has afflicted God's people in the last 2000 years has come from organised groups with 'leaders' who thought they knew God's mind better than anyone around them.
