We can look up the Doctrines of Jesus by reading those doctrines in the red letter Bible. Since the Church was established by Christ we can easily reason that the doctrines of the Church must be limited to the Doctrines of Jesus.
The metaphors built into the Hebrew lend themselves to creating new doctrines by denying alternative uses of words or by altering their meaning. That creation of new doctrines with often fictional and private interpretations by the pharisees was part of what Jesus meant when he referred to the need to "Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees".[1]
But men establish doctrines of their own by studying the Bible and constructing additional doctrines based on their private interpretation, study, depending on their conjecture rather than the true comforter.
Some of these doctrines of men may be true but some may be false or misleading.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
While we may certainly examine these doctrines of men we should never let them divide us into denominations for their the denominator of the Church and the Kingdom of God is Christ alone. To fail to put his teachings first will allow false christs to overshadow the true Doctrines of Jesus with the traditions of men even if they are gleaned from the Bible.[2]
- ↑ Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ([Matthew 16]:6)
- How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? (Matthew 16:11)
- Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. ([Matthew 16]:12)
- And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. ([Mark 8]:15)
- In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. ([Luke 12]:1)
- ↑ Some men say WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT… THE BIBLE
- The Holy Spirit Guided human authors so that what thy wrote in Scripture is accurate and without error…Ultimately, the real value of th eBible is realized in our life as we apply the Scriptures to Life.
- GOD
- Our view of God will impact the way we live…God is defined as Spirit, a person, life, self-existent, unchanging, unlimited by time and space, and a unity….God consistently works out His eternal plan by guiding and overseeing all things by His wise and holy purpose.
- THE HOLY SPIRIT
- The Holy Spirit is not merely a force, but has all the attributes of personality and is also God as the third person of the Trinity. The Holy Spirit’s work brings us to Christ and salvation, equips us for ministry, empowers us for service, and produces spiritual fruit in our life.

- PEOPLE
- People are unique beings. Contrary to the evolutionary view of origins, the biblical view of people identifies them as unique from animals, created in the image and likeness of God. People have both a physical and metaphysical aspect — body and soul or spirit. Because of our ancestral parent’s failure to obey God, sin was introduced into the human experience — causing the need for reconciliation to God our creator.
- SALVATION
- The single most significant experience in life is that involved in receiving the salvation provided by Christ on the Cross. This experience involves conversion, regeneration, justification, and sanctification and grants us eternal life with Christ.
- THE CHURCH
- Jesus instituted the church as a means of Christians assembling together to encourage and help one another in the Christian life and to enable them to be more effective in reaching out to others. In summary, the “ekklesia (Greek for church) is a group of “called-out ones” established for worship, instruction, fellowship, and evangelism.
- ESCHATOLOGY (END TIMES)
- Eschatology literally means “the study of last things.” The doctrine of eschatology can be divided into two themes: “personal eschatology” which is the study of God’s final judgements and the enternal state — heaven or hell — and “prophetic eschatology” which is the study of the second coming of Christ and the various events related to His return.
