The Doctrine of Christ Why It Is MOST IMPORTANT For Believers To Hear and To Know...,
Posted : 18 Sep, 2011 11:51 AM
LET�S TALK ABOUT THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST O, I can hear it, �Ho hum here we go again, can�t he talk about something exciting, maybe some new truth? I�m getting so tired of hearing the same old stuff.� Besides, doctrine only brings division!
Let�s talk about love, isn�t that what Christ is all about?� Paul must have heard similar words when speaking to the Hebrews, for he says, ��we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.� So, bear with me, say a prayer for me, and it might get better as we move along. But, you are right on both counts! Doctrine will cause division, and Christ is all about love, so why am I talking about doctrine? Because real love can only be defined by truth and the doctrine of Christ is truth defined - for God is truth.
But, herein lies our problem. Christianity has been so inoculated against God�s truth that many can�t recognize it when it is presented to them. To inoculate means to imbue or fill to capacity, often used to prevent an invasion of something more virulent. In our case, it would mean to so saturate the mind with a convoluted version of Christianity that only those with a real love of the truth will understand. In Matthew 24, Christ warns us of Satan�s agenda to inoculate the world and tells us of false Christs, false prophets and deception so severe that even the elect are in danger of being deceived.
The Grand Junction Valley is fighting an infestation of the Japanese Beetle and it was found that the most successful way to fight it is, oddly enough, through deception. As I understand it, they use what amounts to a perfume emitted by the female that so confuses the male that it is unable to recognize the true female and thus fails to reproduce. Could it be that Satan is filling the world with something that smells like, looks like, maybe even feels like true Christianity, but renders one to be ineffective in much of their Christian life? Let me quote a revealing prophecy written by William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army. �The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be, religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.� Are we there yet? Do you see any evidence of his words being fulfilled? Keep his words in mind as we struggle through this �dull of hearing� thing.
John explains why doctrine causes division (2 John 9, 11)! �Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: (What did Christ say to do about the blind leaders of the blind in Matthew 15:14)? 11. For he that bids him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.� (Think seriously about what John is saying here). God�s enemies have good reason to hate His doctrine because, �it inoculates a person against their lies.� Paul warns Timothy - I Timothy chapter 4:16 �Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shall both save thyself, and them that hear thee� (1 Tim 4:16). Of course doctrine will cause division because it faces up to the real issues! Therefore, shouldn�t we be sure we understand the doctrine of Christ?
Let�s consider a few questions and comments about doctrines. What is the doctrine of Christ? It is the absolute truth of God applied in every situation. It is unimpeachable love in action. Where did it come from? From the Father, Jesus said, �My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me� (John 7:16). When was it revealed to mankind? It began at the giving of the Ten Commandments, (life�s truths) the very foundation of our Christian life; but was completed at the coming of Christ, as the fulfillment of the promise of grace made available to all mankind (demonstrable love). Am I saying there was no grace until Christ came? Not at all! I�m saying that Christ was the manifestation of the promise of grace spread abroad. Why is it important?
The doctrine of Christ leads us to perfection and eternal life. Let�s go again to 1st Timothy 4:16, where we are told that doctrines �have the power to save ourselves as well as those that hear us� (1 Tim 4:16). Why is it important? For the salvation of mankind! Ephesians 4:14 gives us another benefit of studying doctrine: So that we will be mature in the word and not be deceived by every new thing, enticing revelations, cunningly crafted by the cleverness of men whose purpose is to deceive (Eph 4:14). So, Christ�s doctrine is an inoculation against deception. Is there a false gospel? Yes, it is a doctrine of death whose author is Satan. Paul calls it a doctrine of devils (1 Tim 4:1). It frequently appears as dogmas, traditions, and rituals as well as doctrine, but they�re all based on falsehoods and are contrary to the doctrine of Christ. In Romans 16:17-18 we read:�17. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. (But, have we learned them?)18. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.� (Impressive speakers speaking smooth things [Isa 30:10]).
Christ established His church on a New Covenant, foundational doctrine of seven pillars. These pillars outline the seven steps to eternal life. They are very important for every Christian to know, memorize and understand, because they are continually under attack by the forces of evil. They are conveniently summarized and placed in sequence for us in the book of Hebrews, but oddly, Paul is chastising the Hebrews for their lack of understanding of them. Sadly, I�m afraid that fits many Christians today. We�ll start in Hebrews 5:11 where the writer is speaking of the Melchizedek priesthood of Christ and says -�11. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.� (Oh my, there are those words again).
Please note: Paul says he has much more to teach them about our High Priest, Jesus Christ, but they are unable to receive it; how sad. Are we able to receive it? �verse 12. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles (very basics) of the oracles (canon) of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13. For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.14. But strong meat (deep and secret things [Dan 2:22]) belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.� (It�s more than just giving your heart to the Lord, warming a pew and thinking you�re saved)
Now to Hebrews 6:�Therefore, leaving [building on] the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.3. And this will we do, if God permit.� Why am I taking you back to these basic principles that we all know, or should know, so well? The battle lines are drawn, the mission is before us, should we not sharpen our swords? Let�s shore up our foundation so that our faith will stand against the many winds of doctrine that daily come blowing against us. Then we will be ready to tackle the job given us, which is to be teachers. Understand that the enemy has declared outright war on these principles and has twisted them in every possible way in order to render them ineffective. But, by knowing the enemy�s tactics and methods, and by inoculating ourselves with the doctrines of Christ, we will not be deceived and will save others as well as ourselves.
Now let�s review the fundamentals and touch on how they have been distorted. Satan has counterfeited every one of God�s doctrines and those unskilled in the word or have little love of the truth are frequently deceived.
The first pillar in Christ�s Doctrine is repentance. This was what John the Baptist preached, and it was the first thing Christ preached when He proclaimed that the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand (Mk 1:14). And when the question was asked, �Men and brethren, what shall we do? Peter said to them, repent...� A major part of repentance is to admit to your helpless and sinful state. We read in Romans 10:10, �For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.� What is meant by, �works meet for repentance� (Acts 26:20), or �Godly sorrow� (2 Cor 7:9)? A complete surrender and abandonment of your will with total submission to God is not an option, but a prerequisite before the next pillar can even be approached. How can there be forgiveness without genuine, heartfelt repentance? Listen to what Jesus said: �Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity (lawlessness)� (Matthew 7:21-23). God will not accept a mongrelized worship. Good intentions are not good enough. Is forgiveness without repentance being taught today? �For Godly sorrow works repentance to salvation � but the sorrow of the world works death� (2 Corinthians 7:10).
The second pillar is faith in Christ. Is there evidence of Christianity without Christ today? Could faith in a false Christ save? To some, Jesus Christ has become just a name with little meaning. We hear of preachers that do not believe in the virgin birth, or that Jesus was really just a concept, a divine idea, or just a man that attained to a higher order. Some claim that He was Satan�s brother (but remember, Satan is a created being, but the Word always existed). Should we care what man says or what the Bible says? Peter said it, �Thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God.� And in Hebrews 11:6 we read: �But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.� Has much of Christianity substituted a false Christ for the real Christ today? Can we worship the God of truth with religious lies? Who is the father of lies? Do we really understand the difference between the Melchisedec Priesthood and the Levitical Priesthood; and why a change in the law was required? Why is an earthly priesthood not required today? Study Hebrews chapter 7. Jesus said there would be many false Christs (Matt 24). Did He give us a sign whereby we can know the real Christ? Jesus did give us a sign; it was the sign of Jonah. He as much as said that if He is not in the grave for three days and three nights (Matt 12:44) then He is not the true Christ.
The next and very significant pillar is baptism. Satan has really tried to do a number on this one, so it must be very important. Some of the modern translations leave out the word baptism and substitute the word cleansing or washing. Some denominations sprinkle a little holy water on the person. Some even baptize for the dead, a classic example of building a doctrine on one scripture. Think about it, if the dead (or anyone) have not believed or repented what good is baptizing going to do them? The examples given in God�s word are that it is done by immersion after the individual makes a carefully considered decision. Jesus, Himself, chose to be baptized, and it was by immersion. That�s good enough for me, how about you?
Following baptism comes the pillar of �laying on of hands.� It would seem that this would be the point of conception by the Holy Spirit. It is also where we get our power to obey, and where even to day we can see many miracles performed. But are all miracles from God? (Study Dt 13:1-3; & 2 Thes 2:8-12). This can be a serious problem for those who believe in miracles over God�s word. Can there be seemingly miraculous exploits performed by some who teach against God�s doctrines? It would seem so, but is God testing you? We see lots of phonies in this area, �religion without the Holy ghost.� If they don�t agree with God�s word they are certainly suspect. Are we seeing religion without the Holy Spirit in many of today�s churches?
Pillar number 5 is the resurrection of the dead. This is another one Satan has played havoc with. By convincing people that they go immediately to either heaven or hell at death, fully conscious, opens the door for much demon activity and false doctrine. So we have such deceptions as purgatory, praying to the dead, s�ances, messages from the dead, reincarnation, spiritual guides, etc. Superstition and uncontrolled emotionalism reign supreme if you choose to believe that death is not like sleep as described in God�s word. Why the need of a future resurrection if the dead are already in heaven? Why does Christ say He will bring His rewards with Him when He comes if the good already have it? This subject requires more than a surface study. Do you know the sequences of the resurrections? Who is resurrected in the first resurrection? When does it occur? Do you understand that there is both a spiritual and a physical resurrection? When will Tyre and Sidon be resurrected? Why are some not called now? Where do babies go at death? Can you give biblical answers to these questions, if asked?
Is some preaching salvation without regeneration? Eternal judgment is pillar number 6. The world teaches that those that go to hell go at death and continue burning throughout eternity. Why then, the need of the great white throne judgment? Have they not already received their reward? Can you show from your Bible that they will become ashes under our feet? Who are those that are exempt from the great white throne judgment? What is meant by the second death? When will death and hell be no more? Can you explain the words hell, Sheol, Gehenna, or Hades when talking about eternal punishment? I don�t believe I�ve ever heard a preacher at someone�s funeral say, �He�s going to hell.� Isn�t that kind-of-like heaven without hell?
Pillar number 7 is going on to perfection. This is growing in grace and knowledge throughout our life. It is a sequential, step-by-step process. Our perfection comes through the grace of God and is ultimately reached at the resurrection. This is a summary, but only a summary, of the pillars of the doctrines of God�s church and we are �charged to teach no other doctrine� (1 Tim 1:3). But are we ready; how can we teach it if we haven�t sharpened our swords? Consider the mandate Paul gave to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:1-5: �I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom.2. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. (That means stand up, speak out, and never give up).3. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.� (They don�t want to hear truth, they are lovers of pleasure more that lovers of God [2 Tim 3:4] taking pleasure in their own lusts they look for ministers who will reinforce their pernicious ways).4. �And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (Fabricated doctrines based on lies).5. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.� We will not find the full doctrine of Christ in one verse or even one chapter or book, but it is made available to those who diligently search for it. Isaiah 28:9-10 tells us how to find it. 9 �Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the nursing.10. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.�
How can we even think to come to a correct conclusion of a matter unless we have considered every scriptural reference on the subject? God�s word does not contradict if correctly understood!
Therefore: Let�s keep in mind John�s warning: �Whosoever transgresses, and abides not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abides in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.� Since it is imperative not to transgress Christ�s Doctrines let us persevere in our- Studying to show ourselves approved unto God, workmen that need not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
Praying for and developing a love for the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10-11),
Proving all things avoiding the doctrines of man (Mark 7:9) Searching the scriptures, all scriptures (2 Tim 3:16).
The true doctrine of Christ will:
1. Save you and those who hear you,
2. Inoculate you against the lies and false doctrine of Satan. However: You will cause division. You will be falsely accused. You will be afflicted. You will be hated for His names sake (Luke 21:17). But take courage, they hated Him too (John 15:18).
Back again to Hebrews and speaking of Melchisedec, our High Priest: �Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.� Time is short. Let us pray that we not become �dull of hearing!�

ET has made the following ridiculous Satanic statement:
Richard: "All your passages about love are beautiful ***but Jesus does not COMMAND us to teach or preach about love***, He commands us to teach and preach about the kingdom of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ, and unless you know the gospel of Christ there is no way you CAN love... ***Jesus commands us TO love, but this is not what we are to teach or preach***, but we are to SHOW this love that was in Christ."
Matthew 22:36-40: The Pharisees asked Jesus, "Teacher, which is the GREATEST command in the Law?" Jesus replied, "*LOVE* the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and GREATEST commandment. And the second is like it "*LOVE* your neighbor as yourself." All the Law and the Prophets hang on these Two commandments!!"
On the day before Jesus laid down His life for His friends Jesus changed the second great commandment:
John 13:34: Jesus says, �A **NEW** command I give you: **LOVE** one another as I have **LOVED** you so you:rolleyes: MUST **LOVE** one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples!!"
John 15:9-14: �As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you. Now remain in My **LOVE**. **IF** you:rolleyes: obey My commands, you will remain in My **LOVE**,,, My command is this:**LOVE** each other **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**!!. Greater **LOVE** has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends **IF** you do what I command!":angel:
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, �All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations...***TEACHING THEM*** to *OBEY EVERYTHING* I commanded you!�
This contradicts the ridiculous Satanic statement of ET that Jesus does not command us to teach everyone to love as Jesus loved us!! The Gospel which means Good news in the Greek includes "Teaching them to OBEY EVERYTHING JESUS COMMANDED"
Matthew 10:26: Jesus says, �What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, **PROCLAIM FROM THE HOUSETOPS**!!�
John 2:3-5: �We know that we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, I know Him,� but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. But if anyone OBEYS HIS WORD, God's love is truly made complete in Him. This is how we know we are in Him!"
John 14:23,24: Jesus says, �If anyone loves Me, he will *OBEY MY TEACHING. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him! He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me.�
Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, �I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My Words in His mouth, and He will tell them *EVERYTHING* I command Him. If anyone does not listen to My Words that the Prophet speaks in My Name, I Myself will call him to account!�
Matthew 4:4: Jesus says, �Man does not live on bread alone, but on *EVERY WORD* that comes from the mouth of God!�
John 14:25,26: Jesus says, �The Holy Spirit..will remind you of *EVERYTHING* I have said to you!!�
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, �All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations...**TEACHING THEM** to *OBEY EVERYTHING* I commanded you!�:applause:
Matthew 10:26: Jesus says, �What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, **PROCLAIM FROM THE HOUSETOPS**!!�:applause:
Deuteronomy 4:2: The Lord says, �Do not **ADD** to what I command you and do not **SUBTRACT** from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God!�
I Corinthians 13:13: "And now these three remain: faith , hope and *LOVE*. But the GREATEST of these is **LOVE**!!":applause:

Richard how can you say that I haves made ridiculous Satanic statements when what I have posted is from the word of God... you are ridculous in your comments and lack of knowledge in God's word
Sweetheart, I realize your disdain for women in ministry who preach and teach God's Holy Word, and in particularly for me, only because you ARE LEARNING spiritual things you never knew and it is cutting you to the core of your very male being, because God has given me something that you don't have... and that's not my fault God CHOOSE ME and other women to bless with spiritual insights into His word.
But He has given all those who seek Him the same opportunity, but there is work to be done in order to gain such spiritual knowledge that you are not doing. And many women who preach and teach God's word are doing the hard work to gain such spiritual knowledge, and God is blessing them/me as He has promised to bless everyone who seek His face and delight in His word.
So maybe you should reconsider what it is that you are NOT doing in order that He might also fulfill His promise of spiritusl insiight into His word and bless you as well.
But to God be the glory because you ARE learning from a woman who is teaching God Word, whether you like it or admit it... that's how God works, the very thing or person you disdain, it becomes your redeemer. Becasue God is God and does not need anyones approval to work thing His way for His glory , remember He takes the foolish thing and confounds all those who think they are wise... and He never uses wise or the usualy people, places, or things to bring forth in fulfillment of His purposes and plans or in the preaching or teaching of His word. Paul is the greatest example of this...
And if all the women in ministry on this forum who post came to your house and checked your computer we will find that you are most likely printing out and copying and pasting or saving much of what the other women and I have posted on this forum that you did not know... and that's a good thing.
But you know what, if you keep your eyes off of me and the other woemn who preach and teach God's Word of Truth, and put your eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of your faith, you will do well.

Unfortunately there are some who claim to be Christians but who do not follow the inspired Words of God in His New Covenant such as those who teach the prosperity Gospel or teach that women can teach in the church to men:
2 Peter 3:16: Peter says, �His {Paul's} letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable:devil: people distort as they do other Scriptures, to their own destruction!�
2 Timothy 1:13: Paul said, �What you have heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.�
2 Timothy 3:16; 4:1-3: �***ALL SCRIPTURE*** is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man {Or woman} of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of His appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge: Preach the Word, correct, rebuke and encourage�with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear!�
I Timothy 6:3-5: If anyone teaches false doctrine and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, he is conceited and understands nothing...These are men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.�
I Timothy 2:11,12: "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man: she must be silent."
I Corinthians 14:33,34: "As in *ALL THE CONGREGATIONS OF THE SAINTS*, woman should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission."
However woman may teach men in their homes as per Acts 18:26: "He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited him to their home and explained to him the way of God more adequately."
James 1:22,25: �Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. *DO WHAT IT SAYS....The man {Or woman}who looks intently into the perfect Word that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, **BUT DOING IT**�he will blessed in what he does!�:angel:
I John 2:3-5: �We know that we have come to know Him {Jesus} if we obey His commands. The man who says, I know Him,� but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the Truth is not in him. But if anyone OBEYS HIS WORD, God's love is truly made complete in Him. This is how we know we are in Him!�:applause::angel::peace:
