1 | The importance of Christian Doctrine | Bible general Archive 3 | Hank | 186432 | ||
ladyheart - If we may assume that you are asking a question such as, "Is Christian doctrine important?" .... or "How imporant is Christian doctrine?" -- then let's proceed on that assumption. ..... First of all, let's clear the decks, as it were, by defining what we mean when we say doctrine. Doctrine as we use in it connection with Scripture means teaching. When we speak of the apostles' doctrine, we are talking about what the apostles of our Lord taught to the first-century Christians. Christian doctrine is, in short, the corpus of the Christian message, the composite of all things that the authors of the New Testament were divinely inspired to write. To ask, therefore, about the importance of Christian doctrine is virtually tantamount to asking how important God's revealed word is. If you want to get a firm grasp of the importance of Christian teaching, read and study the book of Romans. Then I believe you would become prepared to come back to this Forum and testify to just how vital Christian doctrine really is! Bible references: 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:42; Romans 6:17 and 16:17; Ephesians 4:14; 1 Timothy 1:3, 4:13, 5:17, 6:1; 2 Timothy 4:2,3; and Titus 1:9. I do urge you to read and study these references in view of your question. --Hank | ||||||

Thanks Hank--I am actually writing a paper on Christian doctrine and was looking for some new insight because my paper seems a little bland. I guess I should have been a little more spacific. Many of your references gave me a new prospective. --ladyheart | ||||||
