Whose doctrine is correct?

[ozell]

As Christians, servant of the Most High God Jesus, We find ourselves fellowshipping with many denominations and doctrine concerning Jesus.

have you ask ever ask yourself which or whose doctrine is correct?

we have the Roman Catholic Church
we have the many Protestant Church
we have the many Orthodox church

all claim to be correct, all have different doctrines and different methods to salvation.

who is correct?

Jesus said

Matthew 24:5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Paul said another Jesus will be preached

2 Corinthians 11:4
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him

who is preaching another Jesus and who is coming int he name of Jesus decieving many?

I don't want to argue or bring confusion I just want to know your thoughts and why.

peace in Jesus

[keck553]

God is correct.

There is room for our personal convictions though, assuming we don't beat others over the head with them.

Read Romans 14.

[The Mighty Sword]

The Doctrine of Jesus Christ of course.

Matthew 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Mark 1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

Luke 4:32 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.

Everything else is just "in addition to" which isn't always GOD breathed.

My desire is that my doctrine is scripture. I would say the 'whole counsel' but that might cause an argument...

I want to read from the Word, not Calvin, Luther, John Paul II, or Tim LaHaye.... or any other man.*


*Note, just because I mentioned some names as examples... I am not pastor bashing or any such foolishness...

[Firefighter]

Well mine is of course!!!

On a more serious note... I ditto post #2.

[Firstfruits]

If we teach contrary to the gospel we have received then our doctrine is not correct.

Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

After all Jesus is The Word and it is his name.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Revelation19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

There is no other Doctrine.

[episkopos]

Is our doctrine living or is it a recitation of a writing we have read? We can't apply the truth to any given situation unless we are IN the truth oureslves. He, the truth, will guide us.

Greetings Episkopos,

agreed! Psalm 25:5 Lead me in Your truth and teach me,For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

My doctrine is right. If I thought it were wrong, I would form a new doctrine.
On a serious note, everyone thinks their own group is right. If we thought another group was right we would leave ours and join it.

[HisLeast]

I have no idea who's doctrine is correct.

I've heard all the assurances that God/Jesus/Holy Spirit/Scripture is the source of correct doctrine, but that seems like moving the problem to me. I'll illustrate with an example:
"Is sabbath adherence mandatory, and exclusive to Saturdays"? Party A states that God/scripture/holy spirit says yes. Party B states that God/scripture/holy spirit says no. What did God/scripture/holy spirit actually say?

No matter how dearly doctrines are held, there is always always ALWAYS a layer of human interpretation to any doctrine. The real trick is figuring out if the given human interpretation is correct or not. So far as I can tell, this is an exercise in absolute hopelessness.

[episkopos]

Here is a picture of what I'm saying.

Let's say the kingdom is like a traffic light. We ask...what colour is the light? One will say green. One will say yellow. One will say red.

So the one that says it's green will turn to the one that believes the light is red and say..."oh, you are of the red camp eh? Humph"

But the fact is that the traffic light has all three colours and it changes at certain times. This confuses all three of the others. What do you mean it changes??? It HAS to be one colour or the other. Choose this day which colour YOU believe in.

So they whip out their favourite verses that seem to agree with their position. Of course the ones who believe in the other colours also have verses to support their beliefs as well. Instead of seeing that the writings have ALL three colours in there...they just argue and call each other names.

But one day as the one who believes it is always red is stopped (as usual) before a traffic light... a green adherent goes driving through what is now in fact a red light and is killed. This goes to reinforce the believer in the red light that the traffic light is always red.

But if we are led by the Spirit we will obey the Spirit...when to go and when to stop...even when to slow down...without actually seeing the light shade...we walk by faith NOT by sight...nor in our own understanding!

The ones who each believe in a static colour of green, yellow, or red will get together to ridicule this preposterous possibiblity. But they have each missed the point that you need to abide in One whom will guide you in the situation...who will guide you through this life.

1 Corinthians:

22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Regardless of our man-made foolishness, we are all united in Spirit under the preaching above. Your references in Matthew refer to false prophets claiming that Jesus of Nazareth is not the Christ. With all of the doctrinal differences I have seen, I have not yet seen ANY on this board or in the Christian churches that I am aware of who reject Jesus as the Christ.

The longer I am here the more I agree with you.

Perhaps we are as blind as the Jews for Jesus.
