Subject: What Makes a Doctrine Biblical? |
Bible Note: In fact what makes doctrine Biblical is convincing enough people that scripture supports the doctrine and then forming into a movement, denomination, school of theology that supports that doctrine. Yes all doctrine should conform to scripture, but we all know each denomination holds to a doctrine that we may or may not agree with. How does that happen? Because the door was opened for each man to decide for himself was scripture was actually saying. Today I read scripture that says Jesus is the only way to salvation. Yet there are those that would go to stake because they believe scripture supports other ways. Likewise with many many many other doctrines, creeds, teaching, theological positions. Look at the various doctrines on abortion, divorce, alcohol usage, tattoos, living together, homosexuality. In many cases positions held are in direct contradiction yet each believe they used proper handling of scripture to reach their position. There is no tie breaker, no authority on earth that declares this doctrine correct and that one wrong. Each man is left to his own interpretation of scripture to decide. And FRANKLY many faithful, honest, dedicated Christians are not capable of making that decision. Proof! The many followers of doctrine we consider wrong. :-) |
