Doctrines of men: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 10:25, 5 January 2024

The pharisees were experts and said they were Jews as followers of Moses and Abraham. Jesus called many of them vipers and hypocrites and others would say that they were "the synagogue of Satan" the congregations of the adversary of what Jesus said.
How did they get it so wrong?
Were they blinded by pride, greed, hate and judgement?
What is the opposite but humility, generosity, love and forgiveness?
What blinded them?^[1]
Why did they live in darkness? ^[2]
Why did they not understand the *word*, the Logos of Christ and the Father?
Their Corban caused their worship to be *in vain making the word of God to none effect*.
In their blindness they made their Doctrines of men.
Some say they are Christians today but are they too workers of iniquity engaged in covetous practices?
God hates the deeds of the Nicolaitan which is also the error of Balaam. Repent! And Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Most "modern Christians" believe in "doctrines of men" that are posing as the doctrine of Jesus. They are in need of repentance just like those men who call themselves New but are adversaries of The doctrine of Moses and Abraham.

Doctrines of men

We can look up the Doctrines of Jesus by reading those printed statements of parables, directives, and 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 if those institutions calling themselves churches are truly His Church.

The creation of new doctrines by men through the logic and private interpretation of men and their institutions of authority should always be questioned, especialy since it was a directive of Christ that His disciples did not exercise authority one over the other.^[3]

We have been warned that men who often "lack knowledge"<Rek name"'lackkn">Lack knowledge

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. 8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. 9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. 13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.</Ref> of God will produce teachings contrary to the word of God and even the impose directives and commandments that are false while proclaiming themselves to be of Christ.^[4]

The often errant, fictional, and private interpretations of the Torah by the people like the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Zealots who distorted the truths expressed by Moses at the time of Christ had brought Jews into an apostasy that made the Word of God to none effect.

back then was a pervasive result of the Sophistry of vain scholars climbing around in their own personally tree of knowledge.

There are a myriad of doctrines amongst the modern Christians that are a part of what Jesus meant when he referred to the need for us to "Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees".^[5]

That leaven was about more than adding the doctrines of men but it included doctrines which seared the conscience with vanity and self Righteousness. It would be the blind leading the blind.^[1]

Quora Question

Quora asked the question "Where in the Bible does it say that after a person dies they go to heaven or hell right away?" Answer were all over the place yet the idea is common among many religions yet the Bible says very little about the idea.

Someone wrote that at death we sleep and there is such a reference in the text when Jesus says Lazarus sleeps and he goes to wake him.^[6] One individual on Quora added the comment that when we sleep we are “unaware of what is occurring around them”. This idea is added to the narrative by people’s imagination and is contrary to what we can see in the text. Many times in the Bible revelation, inspiration, and messages come to people when they sleep.
They go on with the statement “until they are resurrected at Jesus’ second coming” which is also a man made created doctrine from bits and pieces that are not detailed in the text as much as the many direct statements made by Jesus that seem fundamentally and consistently ignored.
There are many such doctrines created by modern religions who do not practice “Pure Religion” or even know what that phrase means. They are so focused on these many “doctrines of men” until they become “workers of iniquity” and do not even see the obvious truth of what Jesus directly stated.
Some are already “asleep”. Some are even “dead”^[7] already according to Jesus because they “sit in darkness”.^[2]
You can make the bible mean whatever you want if you leave out the inconvenient truth and people often do. They often unmoor the metaphors from the meaning in order to create these doctrines of men and leave off the weightier matters which Jesús spoke about very clear without metaphors.
It was obvious that part of that righteousness we are suppose to be seeking was to "Keep the commandments" and to not covet thy neighbor's goods nor anything that was thy neighbors. And were were certainly not to do it through governments exercise authority.^[3]
There are many places in the Bible that suggest something about life after death but mostly it is concerned about what you do in this life. The foundational statement of the Gospel is to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else will take care of itself.^[8]

Meanings and means

The metaphors built into the Hebrew language lend themselves to creating new doctrines by denying alternative uses of words or by altering their meaning. The Pharisees were known to unmoor the meaning of the metaphor until they were worshiping the letter as they interpreted it leading to many false doctrines which created traditions that weakened the poor^[9] and the general population from the righteous ways of God.

There are traditions that have to do with the doctrines of men that counter the Doctrines of Jesus. Men create new things we are told we must believe in that Jesus never mentions. They impose the concepts on people which is bad enough but they often at the same time cause the people to walk in ways contrary to the Christ and The Way of righteousness.^[10]

Means and methods

We were not to do lie those who say in the governing seat of Moses. At least some of the reason for that instruction was their Corban.

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.^[11] using the Bible.

While we may certainly examine these doctrines of men we should never let them divide us into denominations for the denominator of the Church appointed by Jesus 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.^[12]

Our dependence upon the the covetous practices of legal charity of the Public religions of the world has returned the masses to become entangled again in the yoke of bondage. We have need of repentance.

Matthew 24:11 "And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."

Matthew 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

↑ Bread of oppression
Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning daily bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 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.

Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."

Matthew 16:11 "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?"

Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."

Luke 12:1 "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."

Jesus and John the Baptist opposed the leaven of Herod, the Pharisees and of the Sadducees because they misinterpreted the way of Moses and the LORD. They collected the resources for their tables of welfare, their social safety net of free bread and care for the needy of society through forced offerings. Peter, Paul, David, and the prophets have been warned us that such covetous practices were setting a snare and a trap. Herod and the Pharisees had set up a system of legal charity rather than fervent charity which always makes the word of God to none effect so that Christ would say the kingdom of God shall be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits. We should know that their system "degenerates" the "masses" until they become "perfect savages". Legal charity and its benefits and dainties provided through men who exercise authority are the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and will curse children.
↑ John 11:11 "These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."
↑ Luke 9:60 "Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God."
Luke 15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

1 Timothy 5:6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
↑ Kingdom at hand

Luke 24:41-43 “‭36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you... ‭41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. ‭43 And he took it, and did eat before them.”

↑ 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 the Bible 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.

CHRIST
Jesus was in fact God incarnate in human form. He is the second person in the Trinity who came to live among us, die for us, and resurrect that someday we might be able to live with Him forever.

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. To better understand The Trinity, read this related Article

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 eternal 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.

Galatians 2:4 "And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5. To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you."

2 Peter 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."

2 Peter 2:2 "And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."

2 Peter 3: 16. "Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness."

[leavenp-5] Bread of oppression
Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning daily bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 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.

Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."

Matthew 16:11 "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?"

Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."

Luke 12:1 "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."

Jesus and John the Baptist opposed the leaven of Herod, the Pharisees and of the Sadducees because they misinterpreted the way of Moses and the LORD. They collected the resources for their tables of welfare, their social safety net of free bread and care for the needy of society through forced offerings. Peter, Paul, David, and the prophets have been warned us that such covetous practices were setting a snare and a trap. Herod and the Pharisees had set up a system of legal charity rather than fervent charity which always makes the word of God to none effect so that Christ would say the kingdom of God shall be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits. We should know that their system "degenerates" the "masses" until they become "perfect savages". Legal charity and its benefits and dainties provided through men who exercise authority are the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and will curse children.

[6] John 11:11 "These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."

[7] Luke 9:60 "Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God."
Luke 15:32 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

1 Timothy 5:6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

[kingdomnow-8] Kingdom at hand
Luke 21:31 “‭So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.”

Matthew 3:2 “‭And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Matthew 4:17 “‭From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Matthew 10:7 “‭And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Mark 1:15 “‭And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

Luke 22:16 “‭16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” and then he ate

Luke 24:41-43 “‭36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you... ‭41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. ‭43 And he took it, and did eat before them.”

[9] Ezekiel_16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; Genesis 18:20
The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. Isaiah 3:9 For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her. Lamentations 4:6

[10] : Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

2 Thessalonians 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

[12] 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 the Bible 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.

CHRIST
Jesus was in fact God incarnate in human form. He is the second person in the Trinity who came to live among us, die for us, and resurrect that someday we might be able to live with Him forever.

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 eternal 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.
