"I glory in that which at the present day is so much spoken against--sectarianism. I find it applied to all sorts of Christians; no matter what views he may hold, if a man be but in earnest, he is a sectarian at once. Success to sectarianism; let it live and flourish. hen that is done with, farewell to the power of godliness. When we cease, each of us, to maintain our own views of truth, and to maintain those views firmly and strenuously, then truth shall fly out of the land, and error alone shall reign." Ref-1324, p. 70. "This was precisely the attitude which Spurgeon had to fight against in the Down-Grade. The mood of the age was against creeds of any sort, and evangelicals, with their already diluted set of beliefs, succumbed in large numbers to the idea that clear-cut doctrinal positions were ‘unchristian’ in their tendency. [Murray]" Ref-1324, pp. 200-201. "We admire a man who was firm in the faith, say four hundred years ago . . . but such a man today is a nuisance, and must be put down. Call him a narrow-minded bigot, or give him a worse name if you can think of one. Yet imagine that in those ages past, Luther, Zwingle, Calvin, and their compeers had said, ‘The world is out of order; but if we try to set it right we shall only make a great row, and get ourselves into disgrace. Let us go to our chambers, put on our night-caps, and sleep over the bad times, and perhaps when we wake up things will have brown better.’ Such conduct on their part would have entailed upon us a heritage of error. [Spurgeon]" Ref-1324, p. 204.


doctrine - emotion - relationship :

"‘He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion. . . . The holy Scriptures do everywhere place religion very much in the affections; such as fear, hope, love, hatred, desire, joy, sorrow, gratitude, compassion, and zeal’." Ref-1302, p. 253 "It is important to understand that deep, tender, feelings of affection in the Christian life are not more important than doctrine. Indeed, the New Testament never emphasizes such feelings as greater than doctrine and truth. To be very direct in communication, the greatest impact of biblical love is upon obedience to all of God’s Word. In the Old Testament, love is inextricably related to covenant and obedience (Ex. 20:6; Deu. 7:6-8; 10:12; 11:13,22; 19:9; 30:19-20; Jos. 22:5; 1S. 18:1-3; etc.). In the New Testament, love is most frequently related to discipleship and obedience (John 14:15,21,23-24; 15:9-10; 1Jn. 2:4-6; 5:1-3; 2Jn 6a; etc.) The standard of biblical love is doctrine. As a Christian virtual, love is more important than faith and hope (1Cor. 13:13), but it is not more important than doctrine and truth." Ron. J. Bigalke, Introduction, Ref-0785, Vol. 16 No. 48 August 2012, 5-10, p. 8.


doctrine - false : Eph. 4:14; 1Ti. 4:1; Tit. 1:11
doctrine - fornication contrary to : fornication - contrary to sound doctrine
doctrine - historic development :

"There is some evidence that the church has been progressing throughout the centuries of its history throught he major areas of doctrine beginning with bibliology and theology proper as in the early centuries of the church, advancing to such subjects as anthropology and hamartiology in the fourth and succeeding centuries, and dealing with soteriology and ecclesiology in the Protestant Reformation. It has been mostly in the last century that eschatology has really come to the fore as an area for scholarly study and debate." John F. Walvoord, The Church in Prophecy (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House, 1964), p. 127. [Italics added.] "the truly distinctive nature of Christianity's understanding of reality first began to assume concrete conceptual form only in the course of the great doctrinal disputes of the fourth and fifth (and, by extension, sixth and seventh) centuries, when theologians were forced by the exigencies of debate to formulate their beliefs as lucidly and as thoroughly as possible." Ref-1290, p. 203.


doctrine - importance - relative :

"A useful way to assess the centrality of a given biblical doctrine is to ask ourselves how much distortion is introduced into other parts of the picture if we remove it." Ref-1291, p. 211.


doctrine - logic and :

"But let’s be honest–all Christians embrace logical tensions to some degree. Take the statement, “Jesus is God” to its “logical conclusion” and we have grounds to deny essentials like the virgin birth, the humanity of Christ, the death of Christ (and therefore the resurrection), etc. because God can’t “logically” be born, be a creature, die, etc. Take “Jesus is a human being” to its “logical conclusion” and we have grounds to deny His deity, eternality, etc. Such reasoning is obviously not valid (at least not for Christians), yet I see no difference between this and the kind of reasoning contained in some of the comments above (note that I am not saying anyone here is not a Christian; only that the reasoning employed is invalid for Christians). Many core doctrines of the Christian faith contain this kind of tension, and it would not be proper to take one facet of the doctrine to its “logical conclusion” without overlaying and nuancing through appeals to other aspects of the doctrine. Let’s not sugar coat this, or pretend that every aspect of every Christian doctrine can properly be “taken to its logical conclusion.” Note: I am not saying Arminians don’t believe the Bible; I am saying their system, especially as represented in this thread, seems to inconsistently elevate human logic in opposition to the Calvinistic doctrine of Providence while readily accepting the logical tensions of the Incarnation and other orthodox doctrines. No Arminian says of the humanity of Christ: “Whatever the Bible means in those passages, it can’t mean that!”" Derek Ashton, An Irenic Discussion of Arminianism and (Moderate) Calvinism, THEOParadox, [http://theoparadox.blogspot.com/2013/01/an-irenic-discussion-of-arminianism-and.html?m=1] accessed 20130110.

"One of the advantages of being old is that you have experience, so when something new comes up, and you see people getting very excited about it, you happen to be in the position of being able to remember a similar excitement perhaps forty years ago. And so one has seen fashions and vogues and stunts coming one after another in the Church. Each one creates great excitement and enthusiasm and is loudly advertised as the thing that is going to fill the churches, the thing that is going to solve the problem. They have said that about every single one of them. But in a few years they have forgotten all about it, and another stunt comes along, or another new idea; somebody has hit upon the one thing needful or he has a psychological understanding of modem man. Here is the thing, and everybody rushes after it; but soon it wanes and disappears and something else takes its place." Ref-1369, p. 35.

✪ The Documentary Hypothesis promotes the idea that Moses did not write the "books of Moses." Jesus said otherwise. "According to critical scholars, Numbers 6:23-27 should be attributed to the so-called “P source” which is generally dated to the Post-Exilic, or Persian Period. It is obvious that we now have two examples of this text that were written prior to the Babylonian captivity. This makes it impossible to assume that the Priestly Benediction was crystallized during the Post-Exilic period." Gordon Franz, Remember, Archaeology is NOT a Treasure Hunt!, Ref-0066, Vol. 18 No. 2 (2005), p. 59. "[T]he basic thrust of what is called the Documentary Hypothesis remains the same: the Pentateuch is divisible into at least four basic sources, each of which can be roughly dated to represent different stages in Israel's (thoroughly naturalistic) religious history. . . . The original Documentary Hypothesis suggested a mere four sources behind the Pentateuch: 1. J, or Jahwist, for an early priest (c. 900 BC) who preferred Jahweh as the divine name, and viewed God in somewhat anthropomorphic terms; 2. E, or Elohist, a slightly later priest who preferred Elohim as the divine name, and viewed God as more transcendent; 3. D, or Deuteronomist, the author of Deuteronomy who fabricated that work at the time of Josiah and presented it as an authentic work of Moses (and of course, it was accepted at once as authoritative by the conveniently, ‘enormously naive’ Josiah [p. 45]); and 4. P, pr Priestly, a rather sour-minded religionist of very late date who combined J, E and D and added his own touches." James Patrick Holding, Debunking the Documentary Hypothesis, Ref-0691 Vol 19(3) ISSN 1036-2916, 37:40, p. 37. "one of the keystones of the JEDP theory [is] the variation of divine names in the text (Yahweh, Elohim) and particularly Exodus 6:3 . . . which is claimed to prove that earlier uses of Yahweh by Abrahm and his contemporaries must have been imposed upon them, so that this is proof of an invented ‘Yahwist’ text in Genesis. Phelan presents numerous solutions to this issue, all of them helpfu; perhaps the most parsimonious is the answer taken from Garrett that the grammar of the verse means it should read, ‘Did I not make myself known to them?’ -- a reading which by itself literally renders dozens of books by JEDP theorists completely obsolete." James Patrick Holding, Debunking the Documentary Hypothesis, Ref-0691 Vol 19(3) ISSN 1036-2916, 37:40, p. 39. "French physician Jean Astruc developed the original Documentary Hypothesis in 1753, and it went through many different alterations until Karl Graf revised the initial hypothesis in the mid-nineteenth century."

Dominican Friars :

"The pope, finding that these cruel means had not the intended effect, sent several learned monks to preach among the Waldenses, and to endeavour to argue them out of their opinions. Among these monks was one Dominic, who appeared extremely zealous in the cause of popery. This Dominic instituted an order, which, from him, was called the order of Dominican friars; and the members of this order have ever since been the principal inquisitors in the various inquisitions in the world." Ref-1306, loc. 1018. "All the other monastic orders were so many papal outposts. But the great Dominican order, immensely opulent in its pretended poverty; formidably powerful in its hypocritical disdain of earthly influence; and remorselessly ambitious, turbulent, and cruel in its primitive zeal; was an actual lodgment and province of the papacy, an inferior Rome, in the chief European kingdoms."

"The Garden was a place of struggle for authority over the earth. The man had the authority and the control over the earth, but his authority would be challenged. The man’s task was to “keep” his authority over the earth, and not to lose it. In a contrasting manner, when Christ was tempted, the wilderness was also a place of struggle for authority over the earth, but there Satan had the authority. Where had he received that authority? Satan received it when Adam failed to keep his authority in the Garden, failed to withstand the temptation. From that point onward, Satan was the strong man and Earth was his house, as Matthew 12:29 attests. Under Satan’s stewardship, paradise became desert, the garden became a wilderness." G. Robert Graf, Eden, the Place of Testing, Ref-0785, Volume 14 Number 43, December 2010, 55-64, pp. 60-62. "According to Scripture, the access that the devil has obtained to this world to wreak all the damage and suffering which he has is through man. Man was made the high priest of creation, it was all given into his hand to be his dominion; and the only way in which Satan could enter and corrupt it was by first suborning Adam himself. This is made crystal clear when Paul says that sin entered the world ‘by one man’." Ref-1417, p. 103.


dominion - theology : Heb. 10:13

"The emphasis of the church is not upon man as ruler but upon man as messenger. In the words of Kevin DeYoung, “God does not send out His church to conquer. He sends us out in the name of the One who has already conquered. We go only because He reigns.” Making disciples is the church’s mission (Mat. 28:18-20); taking dominion is not."

double fulfillment : double fulfillment - vs. double reference
double fulfillment - vs. double reference :

"Double Fulfillment" states that one prophecy can have two fulfillments. "Double Reference" states that one piece of Scripture actually contains two prophecies, each having its own fulfillment (separated in time which other Scriptures clarify). "Since Isaiah 7:13–14 requires an immediate sign to King Ahaz, many Evangelicals have taken this verse to be an example of “double fulfillment.” This principle states that a prophecy may have more than one fulfillment. This verse may, accordingly, be both a sign for King Ahaz and the sign in Matthew 1:22–23 for the birth of Jesus. This author does not accept the principle of double fulfillment either here or in any other place in the Bible. If this principle were true, there would be no real need for the virgin birth at all. There is another, better principle of biblical interpretation which is “double reference.” This principle states that one block of Scripture dealing with one person, one event, one time, may be followed by another block of Scripture dealing with a different person, place and time, without making any clear distinction between the two blocks or indicating that there is a gap of time between the two blocks. The fact of a gap of time is known only from other Scriptures. There are, therefore, two separate prophecies side-by-side each having their own fulfillment, but with only one fulfillment per prophecy. “Double Fulfillment” states that one prophecy can have two fulfillments. “Double Reference” states that the one piece of Scripture actually contains two prophecies, each having its own fulfillment. As will be explained later, Isaiah 7:13–17 contains two quite separate prophecies with different purposes, and having different fulfillments at different times." Ref-0011, p. 33. "Some final considerations regarding “fulfillment” terminology seem to be in order. We repeat the words of Terry in this connection: “We have already seen that the Bible has its riddles, enigmas, and dark sayings, but whenever they are given the context clearly advises us of the fact. To assume, in the absence of any hint, that we have an enigma, and in the face of explicit statements to the contrary, that any specific prophecy has a double sense, a primary and a secondary meaning, a near and a remote fulfillment, must necessarily introduce an element of uncertainty and confusion into biblical interpretation.”" Ref-0231, p. 262, citing Milton S. Terry, Biblical Hermeneutics, 2d ed. (Reprint; Grand Rapids: Zondervan, n.d.), p. 495.
