The Doctrine of Discernment

Join us in this critical call for Gods people to Discern and discriminate and look at 1 Peter 3:15 Apologetics.
Discernment is the ability to properly discriminate or make determinations.
It is clearly seen in 1 Corinthians 3:13
Each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it,
because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. God will test and discriminate between work that is worthy and worthless.
The test is by trial and fire, to examine it and see if it is pure.
Dr. John MacArthur gives a definition this way:
Discernment is nothing more than the ability to decide between truth and error, right and wrong. It is the process of making careful distinctions in our thinking about truth. In other words, the ability to think with discernment is synonymous with an ability to think biblically.
Spurgeon said "Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between what is right and wrong;
Rather, it is the difference between right and almost right."
Discernment is not an option, we as believers must make firm decisions about truth and falsehood. We must clearly see Gods Line and hold that line accountable in ourselves and in those who claim the name of Christ.
Hebrews 5:12–14 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.14 But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
