In this case, throwing out the misguided theology (or in COCese, "doctrine") and keeping the simple familiarity with the scriptures. Maybe "Bible knowledge" was too broad. Someone above on the thread called it "BCV knowledge" or something like that. That may be a better phrase.lvmaus wrote:It's rather difficult - if not impossible - to gain worthwhile and accurate Bible knowledge when everything we read/study is processed through a CoC filter. The CoC has a long history of approaching God's Word wearing blinders and colored glasses, thinking all the time they are Bible students ... I think they are often just legends in their own slime.

BCV appears to be engrained in their DNA and rolls effortlessly off their tongues; just have NO faith whatsoever in their peculiar mix of proof texts.
