Yes indeed, Christ transcends all our errors. AND... He sends the Holy Spirit who leads His sheep into all truth and sanctifies them by His Word; not perfectly but most definitely. I am always uneasy when someone promotes doctrinal agnosticism, i.e., we cannot really know truth because we are all fallible and therefore we must be "tolerant" of everyone's doctrinal views. But, even a cursory reading of Scripture will reveal that this is nothing but the musings of those who hold to doctrines which are contrary to biblical truth and which has been delivered once for all to the saints; the Church. To be sure there are things which no man can be dogmatic about because of the lack of information revealed in Scripture. But there is a plethora of truth which has been revealed and that perspicuously to which ALL must embrace and live by.

When Christ ascended on high He gave good gifts to men and promised to not leave His own as orphans who would have to fend for themselves. We have ALL THINGS given to us in Christ and here including the truth by which to worship God aright, to increase our faith, to enlarge our hearts looking forward to the fulfillment of His precious promises and to strive toward that high calling being conformed to His image, even in this life.
