Doctrine at best is a sacrament – an artifact that serves as a medium to communicate God's grace through faith. Because it is an artifact, it is permanently negotiable. Once we refuse to negotiate doctrine according to the recognition that we negotiate meaning in Scripture, we become idolaters in the most heinous sense that resulted in the very crucifixion of Christ.
