People like feel-good doctrines for the simple reason they make people feel good, so they're highly marketable and lucrative to preach by huckster preachers in the ministry for the money. In these latter times, the church is awash in false doctrines even as the end approaches, so we do well to be on our guard for them. The literal interpretation of the scriptures is best when nothing is added, and nothing is taken away though I'll repeat, sometimes speculation is in order (with prayer) concerning difficult-to-understand passages in which the meaning is obscure i.e. not plainly spelled out. 🌸🌻🌸
