Bible Note: Dear King, You wrote, "They may be derived from the Bible, but they are still derived based on man’s own understanding and interpretation of the Bible. From where I stand, they are man made doctrines. Kindly shed in more light why they are not man made doctrines." (sic) I suggest that you get a Strong's Exhaustive Concordance and look up the Greek words G1318, G1319, G1320, and G1321. Read each and every reference in context. Write down the references, and next to them write down what you learn about doctrine from that passage. If you do this, you will have a complete Biblical definition of doctrine; i.e., a soundly doctrinal definition of doctrine. :-) The text of Scripture is a communication from God to man. It is the Word of God; i.e., the Logos, from which we get our English word logic. The Word is the God's self revelation (Hebrews 1:1-2). It is His means of working redemption in the lives of the elect (Jeremiah 23:28-29; Luke 8:11, 21; Hebrews 4:12-13; etc.). In Him, Doc |
