Tuesday, April 27, 2004 DoctrineDave,We (you and I, Geoff and or wives) basically know the doctrines of the church, from good study and reading and talks at various places. Most bible teaching todays, is exploratory, ie expanding and adding to a chapter or chapters, that's b.s.f. and stays away from concepts and terminology. Rightly or wrongly b.s.f. teachers have no theological training, (is going to San Antonio sufficient). The great references include the New Bible Dictionary, and Dictionary of Christian Ethics. I have both here, but not the latest editions. The early church starting around 54 ad, and probably jesus died in 30 ad. wrote letters and asked questions and discussed doctrine. That's what Pauls letters and Peters letters are about, but we are not always sure of the questions asked of either Paul or Peter. At this time the Church had expanded into many places and to people who had never seen Jesus, many were not jewish, so the focus of the writings is to convince people to believe in Jesus as the messiah and live rightly in a pagan world, but these new people were being 'asked' to do a lot, to believe that a human being was God on earth, one who died the death of a common criminal. And the most important truth is that of the trinity, Jesus is an equal personality part of the total of God, therefore he could complete God's plan to bring back mankind. Come to Holy Trin.
