Welcome to Destructive Dogmas.

Our epistemological starting point is the Word of God.  This transcendent standard of measurement is what we employ as the Authority in determining destructive dogmas.  As a result, this is not our opinion but an appeal to an Authority actually above us.  (NB: To you logicians out there who presume only naturalism in your worldview perspective and to you Postmoderns who reject the biblical meta-narrative because of the meta-narrative you choose to live in submission to, the appeal to Authority is only a fallacy if the Authority appealed to is actually incorrect.  God has His own standard of measurement, even concerning the evaluation of truth claims.  To state it a different way, we simply discern some of your presuppositions to be faulty.  As a result of “Truth,” we reject the destructive fruit of contemporary [naturalistic] skepticism and continue to, by His mercy and grace, enjoy God’s awesome bounty.  As the Lord of lords has said, “You will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.” J  This freedom is available to you if you would but receive the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life—Jesus Christ.  Click here  for more details.)


The following two definitions are taken from Webster’s New World Dictionary (Second College Edition)

Destructive:     tending or likely to cause destruction

                        causing or producing destruction; destroying

                        merely negative; not helpful

Dogma:            a doctrine; tenet; belief

                        doctrines, tenets, or beliefs, collectively

                        a positive, arrogant assertion of opinion

                        Theol.  a doctrine or body of doctrines formally and

                                    authoritatively affirmed

Combining the two definitions above, we use the phrase “Destructive Dogmas” on this site to mean “absolute beliefs* which bring destruction.”  Due to the holistic worldview employed by this informational service, the degree of destruction emphasized is that of
eternal nature.  While there are crucial dogmas affecting physical (temporal) things (e.g., the dogma of free sex and potential
consequences [destruction of emotional and physical wellbeing, to name only a couple]), this site addresses dogmas that bring or
potentially bring, if indeed incorrect, eternal consequence.

This site is presented in three parts: Destructive Worldly Dogmas and Destructive Church Dogmas represent the first two categories. 
Once again, a biblical plumb line is that which is used, one especially tied to Jesus Christ’s statement, “He who is not with Me is against Me...” (Matt. 12:30)  Thus, Destructive Church Dogmas include those resident within today’s Christian Church.  This excludes cults (e.g., Scientology, LDS/Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, etc., for reasons yet to be mentioned in the section “Destructive Worldly Dogmas.”).

The last category merges the two PRESENT concerns into a third concern:  Future Destructive Global Dogmas.  These will come to pass. 
Don’t be eternally condemned by
accepting these significant global mandates.


I          
Present Destructive Worldly Dogmas


II         
Present Destructive Church Dogmas    


III        
Future Destructive Global Dogmas


We will be adding to this site on a regular basis, so please visit us again for comments on additional dogmas bringing huge
destruction to those who embrace them.


* Note: 
We are not including some beliefs that are held tentatively, only those which are seen as absolutes. For example, it is not the general, non-dogmatic belief in the Pre-Tribulational Rapture that we cite as a destructive dogma. It is the absolute commitment to the
Pre-Tribulational Rapture (as Gospel Truth) that we cite as one of the destructive dogmas of contemporary Christianity (if indeed the
rapture of the church does not actually take place before the public emergence of the antichrist and the great tribulation he brings).
There is a huge difference between the two perspectives, for one holds all other end-time viewpoints to be incorrect while the other
is open to the possibility of one of the other positions possibly being the actual way in which the final days unfold.
