Subject: DOCTRINE: Why Needed? I

Bible Note: DOCTRINE: WHY IS IT NEEDED? Part 1. ......In the previous post I referred to the little old lady who asked her pastor why this "doctrine stuff" was needed? ........ First, the New Testament plainly indicates that there is a doctrinal element in Christianity. The Scriptures are profitable for doctrine (2 Tim. 3:16). The early believers continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine (Acts 2:42), and filled Jerusalem with that doctrine (Acts 5:28). Christian workers are urged to give attendance to doctrine (1 Tim. 4:13,16), and those who do are to be given special honor (1 Tim. 5:17). In the New Testament there is such a thing as sound doctrine (1 Tim 1:10, 4:6; 2 Tim. 4:3; Titus 1:9; 2:11), and this doctrine is clearly recognizable (2 Tim. 3:10). Believers are frequently warned against false doctrine (Eph. 4:14; Rom. 16:17; Heb. 13:9, and there are serious consequences of not abiding in the doctrine of Christ (2 John 9,10). A rejection of the doctrinal element in Christianity really amounts to the rejection of the New Testament witness. (To be continued) --Hank
