Doctrines
/DOK-trinz/
Summary
Teaching or instruction, particularly the body of truth revealed in Scripture which believers are to hold and defend.
☩Sound Doctrine
Paul repeatedly emphasizes sound doctrine. Titus was to speak things that become sound doctrine. Timothy was to give attention to doctrine and take heed to himself and the doctrine, for in doing so he would save both himself and his hearers. Elders must hold fast the faithful word to exhort and convince gainsayers.

☩False Doctrine
Scripture warns against doctrines of devils, doctrines of men, and every wind of doctrine. False teachers introduce destructive heresies. Believers are not to be carried about with divers and strange doctrines. The early church continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine.
