...Be Very Careful.
(Apostle Victor James)
Most of what some ministers who teach Doctrine teach as doctrine is their own OPINION or what they PERCEIVE to be what the Scripture is saying.
2 Peter 1:20
Knowing this first, that NO prophecy of the SCRIPTURE is of any PRIVATE INTERPRETATION.
This is where the error of doctrine comes from. Some ministers GIVE what they "think" as the interpretation of what the Scripture is saying. How do I know that? Most ministers who MANIPULATES the Scripture, do so using the GREEK meaning or interpretation of any word. Of course I am not against studying or checking the GREEK meaning of any word, to better our knowledge. But the abuse of the use of Greek meanings is what I am advocating must be avoided.
Beloved, please, bear in mind, a Greek WORD can have SEVERAL root meanings. Some times the root meaning of a word can be as much as three, four or more words. So, what these our doctrine SETTING ministers do is to LOOK for the NEAREST Greek meaning of a word that VALIDATES their view, and there it is, that is what they call "sound doctrinal teaching or setting".
1Timothy 6:3-4
If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT NOT TO WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is according to godliness;
4 He is PROUD, knowing NOTHING, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings.
By now, you shouldn't be subjecting your life IN Christ Jesus to UNWHOLESOME teachings in the name of doctrine. Learn to FREE in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Free yourself from any and every ARROGANCE and REBELLION promoting doctrine, otherwise, you will be the worst for the UNLOVING heart of the one you are hearing.
The WAY To Go:
Colossians 3:16
Let the WORD of Christ DWELL IN you richly...
Beloved, this is the way to go! Let the WORD that drives you be the Words of Christ. By this I mean, let Christ WHOLESOME Words be your heart desire. If Christ preached or taught about it, please don't be men's pleaser, preach and teach about it.
JESUS preached and taught about Heaven, hell, fornication, adultery, living as light in this present dark world, therefore these things we must preach and teach. JESUS even preached and taught about judgement (the believer though has already escaped condemnation, but will one day give ACCOUNT for the THINGS done in the body). JESUS taught about having a prayer life (Luke 18:1), without which most ministers have become ONLY word and no POWER ministers of the New Testament. These only head knowledge ministers SHY away from the supernatural, why is that? They are not really sure of supernatural possibilities. And because they are not sure, they can't believe for it. This is the reason for their only Logic approach to God's working amongst His people.
If JESUS preached or taught about it, don't SHY away from it, preach it! Teach it as though there is no tomorrow.
Mark 16:17-18
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mister teacher or preacher, before you became a minister of the GOSPEL, you were first of all a believer, therefore these VERSES Scripture we just read APPLIES to you. You need to learn to lay hands on the sick and cast out devils. Teach your followers by example and not only by words.
Matthew 10:7-8
And as ye Go, PREACH, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 HEAL THE SICK, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
See our commission, in very clear terms "as ye Go, PREACH" as you preach, see the next thing "heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils". If you are NOT walking in these things, re-examine your heart if you are genuinely still walking by Faith toward God.
Pure Example:
Acts 8:5-8
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST UNTO THEM.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING AND SEEING THE MIRACLES WHICH HE DID.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
This is the commission of the Church of God IN Christ Jesus in these last days, purely exemplified by Philip.
What Philip did in Samaria is what I like to call the TOTAL Gospel to the total MAN.
2 Timothy 2:7
Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee UNDERSTANDING in all things.
