Mike Hixson Preparing For The Last Day Sunday at 5pm Forest Park COC Monday at 7pm Old National COC Tuesday at 10am-Oak Hill Coc Tuesday at 7pm-North Ave COC Wednesday at 7pm McDonough COC Thursday at 7pm-Fayetteville COC WHOSE DOCTRINE? Bill W. Weaver, Sevierville Church of Christ Not long ago, I was asked the question, What is your doctrine? My response was that I do not have a doctrine. I then went on to explain that I simply follow the doctrine of Christ. The word doctrine literally means teaching or the content of that which was taught. The words doctrine and teaching are then in essence interchangeable. The New Testament refers to three distinct and different types of doctrine. 1. The doctrine of Christ. (2 John 9) This is the doctrine we are called to follow. In Titus 2:1 this doctrine is said to be sound. In 2 Timothy 4:2, Paul states that this doctrine also exhorts. Then in Acts 2:42 we are told that the church continued steadfastly in the Apostles Doctrine. The Apostles Doctrine was in reality Christ s teaching because they were teaching that which Christ had taught them as well as what the Holy Spirit had instructed them in. 2. The Doctrine of Devils. (1 Timothy 4:1-3) Paul states that some will leave the faith and be given over to the teaching of demons. He goes on to say that they will lie and have a scarred conscience. 3. Strange Doctrines. (Hebrews 13:9) What then are strange doctrines? They would include any teaching that is not of Christ. It is teaching that is as doctrine the commandments of men (Matthew 15). There are of course many strange doctrines (teachings). However, we are called to follow only the doctrine of Christ Jesus. Whose doctrine do you follow? 870 Redwine Road Fayetteville, Georgia & (fax)
