We can look up the Doctrines of Jesus by reading those 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.

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 unmoore 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[1] and the general population from the righteous ways of God.


That creation of new doctrines with often fictional and private interpretations by the pharisees was part of what Jesus meant when he referred to the need to "Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees".[2]

But 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.[3] using the Bible.

While we may certainly examine these doctrines of men we should never let them divide us into denominations for their the denominator of the Church 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.[4]
