What makes a doctrine false?

[complete]

'... ... ... Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God;
because we have testified of God
that He raised up Christ:
Whom he raised not up,
if so be that the dead rise not.'
(1Cor. 15:15)

In the verse above, Paul gives a clear picture of what false doctrine is, in this case, as the context shows, it is in regard to the resurrection of Christ, whom some denied. That denial in itself is one form of false doctrine. Anything that denies the truth of the gospel of Christ is false doctrine.

 

[complete]

'Hold fast the form of sound words,
which thou hast heard of me,
in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.'
(2Tim. 1:13)

Those 'sound words' are written on the pages of Scripture for us to read and digest for ourselves. If our minds are stayed on what is written, then no false doctrine can find a place, for it will be identified immediately as false. That is why we are told to, 'let the word of Christ dwell in you richly' (Col. 3:16) , not only to edify one another, but to protect us from what is false.

'Thou therefore, my son,
be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
And the things that thou hast heard of me
among many witnesses,
the same commit thou to faithful men,
who shall be able to teach others also.'
(2Tim. 2:1-2)

In Christ Jesus

What makes a doctrine false?

Please quote what you would like to respond to. Thanks.

1. You've never heard it before. (knee-jerk defensive response)

2. You have heard of it before, but assume it's false. (haven't looked into it)

3. Doesn't align with your church's doctrine. (your church would say it is false)

4. Doesn't align with your personal doctrine. (your views differ)

5. YOUR "Bible" says it is false. (other biblical opinions don't matter)

6. It makes you uncomfortable. (therefore it must be wrong)

7. Everyone knows it's false. (except those who believe it)

What makes a doctrine false?

A false doctrine is created, based on "wrongly dividing" the word of God.

 

[St. SteVen]

A false doctrine is created, based on "wrongly dividing" the word of God.

What is the basis for "wrongly dividing"? There is no consensus.
Who is right and who is wrong? Opinion versus opinion.

Seems you have chosen...
5. YOUR "Bible" says it is false. (other biblical opinions don't matter)

[Behold]

What is the basis for "wrongly dividing"? There is no consensus.

There is a "consensus.
Absolutely.

See, the Apostle who wrote most of the NT Epistles, and all of the Church Doctrine wrote .. "Rightly divide the word".

So, HE is the "consensus"....>He is the Teacher.......>His Doctrine, His Gospel.........is correct "Theology".

THerefore, any that does not completely line up with Paul's, is theologically incorrect.

So, that is how you find out who is a Heretic, and what Church is a Cult. and what theology is a "doctrine of devils".

Who is right and who is wrong? Opinion versus opinion.

God is Right, Jesus is The Truth, and all who are of them, understand.

 

[St. SteVen]

There is a "consensus.
Absolutely.

Do Catholic and Protestant doctrines agree? (nope)
I suppose you would condemn all Catholics?
Their doctrines are biblical as well.
Rightly divided in their view.

You have failed to identify what makes a doctrine false.
You are relying on your own opinion.

[Behold]

Do Catholic and Protestant doctrines agree? (nope)

The MaryCult is a cult.

Paul's doctrine is not a part of that Theology.

I suppose you would condemn all Catholics?

I would condemn most Catholic Doctrine.. because its false.

Their "baptismal regeneration" is a false Gospel.....so, that is a "tell".
And their obession with MARY, with "marian" doctrine, is not found in any bible.

So, why would any real Christian agree with or try to defend...what is false that they promote and teach ?

Now, that is not a blanket condemnation of "all Catholics".......as its possible to be a Christian, and have become deceive by a cult's theology.
Billions are deceived currently.

Most of my favorite Saints......historical........are Catholic Saints.

Here are just a very few...

Hidegard of Bingen
St Francis
Mary of Egypt
St Bernadette
Dionysius The Areopagite
Angela of Foligno

So, these are all Catholics, and remarkable Christians........however their theology is not bible based, as its Catholic, most of all.

The lesson here is.......a person can be a remarkable born again disciple, and also be completely deceived until they die.

Paul says that Christians often become "Bewitched"......= under the spell of a person who has created a demonic gospel or theology, that has captured their mind.
Hebrews 13:9, offers the way to prevent this........which is to do with your Heart what that verse says you must do with your Faith, and you have to learn what that is, and do it, or a cult theology will capture you.

You have failed to identify what makes a doctrine false.

Oh, i identified it, as Paul's doctrine, but that does not fit your opinions.... espeically regarding the demonic Gospel of "Universalism" that you use to try to lead people to Hell......as that false Gosple can lead them nowhere else, @St. SteVen .

 

[St. SteVen]

Paul's doctrine is not a part of that Theology.

Trumpeting your own ignorance again.

[

 

[Behold]

Trumpeting your own ignorance again.

What you can't understand, regarding the Scriptures, isn't my "ignorance", its just your problem. @St. SteVen

Most forums dont recognize a "universalist' or a "JW" or similar cult addict as a "Christian", but this particular forum, has not really quite dialed in that reality yet.....but you know........everything changes.

 

[St. SteVen]

but you know........everything changes.

Even you, perhaps?

[

 

[Behold]

Even you, perhaps?

What does not change is Paul's Doctrine... So, a Christian has to be of this truth, or they are not., and this is black and white.
There is no "grey", as the grey is why heresy and cults exist, as they are in the grey.

Paul teaches that when we are of His Doctrine, then we are "as many as be perfect" "having the same mind".

The Devil will always make certain that there is plenty of other "stuff" to read, study, and be deceived by, as that is a big part of his Ministry.
its to DECEIVE Chrisitans..........not just unbelievers.

None of these re accurate.

What is correct is the Word of God (the bible) I don't have my own version, says it is contrary tot he teaching of Scripture.

What makes a doctrine false?​

It interprets scripture independent of the reality of Jesus.
.....and what I want to know is, how many folk understand the above statement?

That's interesting.
Does an example come to mind?
Preferably of a true and false interpretation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The point I was trying to make with this topic is that
whether a doctrine is considered true or false,
it is decided in the mind of the beholder.
(within reason, of course)

The parenthetical statements behind each numbered choice tell the story.

1. You've never heard it before. (knee-jerk defensive response)
2. You have heard of it before, but assume it's false. (haven't looked into it)
3. Doesn't align with your church's doctrine (your church would say it is false)

There are many.
The underlying principle is that OT scriptures are used to underpin a view of God which Jesus does not support. In fact, Jesus contradicts. This is denied because it is also thought that the scriptures used do not contradict Jesus.....and out of that confusion and muddling a whole plethora of error is produced......which ultimately misrepresents God.

The most obvious is an ever burning hell where God torments certain individuals
There is also the teaching of the soul being immortal with its attendant logic

Hello @St. SteVen,

My reason for considering a doctrine false, is that it does not align with what the scriptures say (point No.5): taking into consideration context and dispensation. For what is applicable to one dispensation may not be in another (2 Tim. 2:15).

* Personal opinion has no place where the truth of God's word is concerned.

Thank you
In Christ Jesus

Hello @quietthinker, (@St. SteVen)

This does look like a good plumbline by which to measure what is true doctrine and what is false. For the person and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, now risen and glorified, and sat at God's right hand, the position of great power and authority: is the lens through which we should scrutinise any doctrine being introduced as a requirement of God; following the ministry, death and resurrection of the Son of God; Who came both to confirm the promises made to the Fathers (Rom. 15:8), destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8), and bring the hope of life eternal to both Jew and Gentile (Isaiah 49:6), who receive Him and His doctrine by faith in His all-sufficient sacrifice for sin.

Praise His Holy Name!

Just thoughts.
Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris
