The Doctrine of Truth

Can you know what the Book of Truth (the Bible) teaches, when the religious professionals cannot agree?

Among the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) there is almost endless division over doctrine.

There are denominations, that came from a denominational split with another denomination, that also came from a denominational split with yet another denomination.  If you look into the history of some denominations, you will find that there have been nine or ten splits, that lead from the original parent denomination to that particular denomination.

Then there are effectively denominations inside of denominations.  For example, usually when people talk about being a Southern Baptist, they are actually part of one of the more than 100 independent Baptist denominations that meet together for the Southern Baptist Convention.  These more than 100 independent Baptist denominations do not have a unified Southern Baptist doctrine, that they all adhere to, but rather a set of doctrines on some issues, that they mostly agree on.  In fact, not even all the member denominations even agree to most doctrines, in that set of doctrines.  What they have in common is, that that they all came from the Southern Baptists, who split off from the Northern Baptists over the issue of slavery about 150 years ago.

Then there are congregations, that break off from being part of any denomination.  The fact is, that these nondenominational congregations do not agree with each other on doctrine as well.  Some of them often start joining into alliances, like the Messianic Jewish Alliance of America, that is unites them into something like a denomination, even though they may have serious disagreements on doctrine, similar to the case of the Southern Baptists.

Yet other congregations start spinning off children congregations, ran by religious professionals, who they trained in their training school, who form an alliance with them.  This has been the case of many Charismatic churches, like Rhema Bible Church.  These groups of nondenominational churches effectively end up being part of a new denomination!

This endless division has lead to, many of the Children of Truth crying out, that we must all come together.  They say, that we can have unity in what is essential, have freedom to disagree on what is not essential, and walk in love towards each other at all times.  The main problem that keeps this from working, is that these denominations and independent congregations, cannot agree on, what is essential.  They not only do not agree, on which issues comprise the essential doctrines, that they all must agree on to have unity, but they do not even have the same doctrine, concerning those issues!

So when the Children of Truth, or even those who have yet to come into the House of Truth, ask two different religious professionals a question, they end up getting three different answers.  This is pretty much the same results as asking two Rabbis a question.  Some things never change.

So the Children of Truth, and those seeking to come into the House of Truth, are left in a state of confusion due to this endless division among religious professionals over doctrine.

Is there any way for people to know the truth for certain, when the religious professionals are so uncertain?

Yes there is a way to know the truth apart from relying upon religious professionals. In fact, once the truth is known then people can tell doctrine that is from the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) apart from doctrine is from the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil).

The journey to ending this confusion over doctrine among the Children of Truth begins by recognizing that this confusion over doctrine among the Children of Truth did not come from the Father of Truth (1 Corinthians 14:33).  This confusion over doctrine that leads to envy and strife among the Children of Truth is an evil work that came from the Father of Lies (James 3:14-16).

Does doctrine really matter?

The first thing to know is what exactly is doctrine.  Doctrine literally means "what is taught".  A doctrine about a single subject is what is taught about that subject.  The entire collection of what someone teaches about a variety of subjects is their doctrine.  So the doctrine of an individual, congregation or denomination is the collection of individual doctrines that cover what is taught about individual subjects.  So it is possible for the doctrine of two entities to disagree with each other because they do not have the same doctrine on a single subject even though they agree on everything else.

The next thing to understand is that doctrine matters.  If doctrine did not matter then the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) would not have warned the Children of Truth to avoid the doctrine of the Pharisees that Rabbinic Judaism came from (Matthew 16:12).  It is knowing and putting into practice the Doctrine of Truth that was taught by the Man of Truth that sets the Children of Truth free from the works of the Father of Lies (John 8:31-32).  This is why the Children of Truth are warned to not follow any doctrine that differs from the Doctrine of Truth (Hebrews 13:9).

So where does the Doctrine of Truth begin?

The Doctrine of Truth is the doctrine came out from the Father of Truth that was spoken by the Prophets of Truth starting with Moses (Moishe) (Deuteronomy 32:1-3).  The Doctrine of Truth begins with the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) that was given by the Father of Truth (Proverbs 4:1-2).  The Doctrine of Truth is what is taught to bring people out of error so that they will reverence the Father of Truth (Isaiah 29:22-24).

What is the Doctrine of Truth that the Man of Truth taught?

The Doctrine of Truth is doing what the Man of Truth taught the Children of Truth to do (Matthew 7:24-28).  The Doctrine of Truth is not learned in theology school but comes from the Father of Truth (John 7:14-16).  The Doctrine of Truth can only be known by those who seek to do the will of the Father of Truth (John 7:17-18). 

The Doctrine of Truth is based on what is in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament), the only scripture that was written when the Man of Truth was on the Earth, as taught by the Man of Truth (Matthew 22:29-33). The Doctrine of Truth is what the Man of Truth taught in the synagogue on the Sabbath (Mark 1:21-22).  The Doctrine of Truth was taught by the Man of Truth to his fellow Jews in the synagogues and in the Temple (John 18:19-21).

The Doctrine of Truth is a doctrine of supernatural power from the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) (Mark 1:23-27).  The Doctrine of Truth that the Man of Truth taught was confirmed by signs and wonders as being from the Father of Truth every Sabbath (Luke 4:31-32).  

The Doctrine of Truth was opposed by those who taught the doctrine of Rabbinic Judaism (Mark 11:18).  The Doctrine of Truth opposes those who teach the doctrine of Rabbinic Judaism (Mark 12:38-40).

What is the Doctrine of Truth that the Apostles of Truth taught?

The Doctrine of Truth is a doctrine of repentance from sin and returning to a fear of the Father of Truth in order to be saved (Acts 2:38-43).  The Doctrine of Truth is the Spirit of Truth confirming the Word of Truth with wondrous signs so that the lost can be saved by believing the Word of Truth (Acts 13:7-12).  The Doctrine of Truth must be obeyed in order for those who hear it to become righteous (Romans 6:16-18).  The Doctrine of Truth only saves those who continually put it into practice (1 Timothy 4:14-16).  The Doctrine of Truth must be continually obeyed in order for anyone to remain living in the House of Truth with the Man of Truth and His Father (2 John 1:9).

The Doctrine of Truth is that salvation only came through the crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of the Man of Truth (Acts 5:28-32).  The Doctrine of Truth is centered on the resurrection of the Man of Truth (Acts 17:18-20).

The Doctrine of Truth is what the Apostles of Truth taught (Romans 16:17).  The Doctrine of Truth is not the doctrine of men (Colossians 2:20-22).  The Doctrine of Truth that the Apostles of Truth taught is same doctrine that the Man of Truth taught (1 Timothy 6:3).  The Doctrine of Truth is built upon six doctrines that form the foundation of the House of Truth (Hebrews 6:1-2).

The Doctrine of Truth does not tolerate fables of any kind (1 Timothy 1:3-4).  The Doctrine of Truth rejects all fables and calls people to living in a way that is pleasing to the Father of Truth (1 Timothy 4:6-9).  The Doctrine of Truth is that trusting in the Father of Truth always results in living in a way that is pleasing to Him (1 Timothy 4:10-13).  The Doctrine of Truth teaches the Children of Truth how to live in a life that will not cause others to blaspheme the name of their Father (1 Timothy 6:1-2).  The Doctrine of Truth teaches the Children of Truth how to live in a way that is pleasing to their Father (Titus 2:1-5).  The Doctrine of Truth teaches the Children of Truth how to live an uncorrupted life in a corrupt world (Titus 2:6-8).  The Doctrine of Truth is to be as evident in how of the Children of Truth treat others as the clothes that they are wearing (Titus 2:9-10).

The Doctrine of Truth is rightly applying the Law of Truth (1 Timothy 1:8-11).  The Doctrine of Truth is found in all of the pages of the entire Book of Truth, from the first page of the Original Covenant, to the last page of the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) (2 Timothy 3:14-17).  The Doctrine of Truth has never changed, because the Man of Truth has never changed (Hebrews 13:8-9).

The Doctrine of Truth is be taught, whether people want to hear it or not (2 Timothy 4:1-3).  The Doctrine of Truth both exhorts the Children of Truth to continue in righteous living, and convinces others to come into the House of Truth (Titus 1:9).

How can a person learn the Doctrine of Truth?

The Spirit of Truth will teach the Children of Truth the same Doctrine of Truth that the Man of Truth taught (John 14:26).  The Father of Truth has given the Spirit of Truth to the Children of Truth so they can know what comes from the Father of Truth (John 15:26).  The Spirit of Truth teaches the Doctrine of Truth that comes from the Father of Truth to the Children of Truth (John 16:13-15).

The Spirit of Truth revealed the Doctrine of Truth that was hidden in the Original Covenant to the Apostles of Truth (1 Corinthians 2:9-11).  The Spirit of Truth teaches the same Doctrine of Truth that the Apostles of Truth taught (1 Corinthians 2:12-13).  When the Children of Truth learn how to hear from the Spirit of Truth then they do not anyone else to teach them the Doctrine of Truth (1 John 2:27).

The Children of Truth are to search the Book of Truth to see if any doctrine they hear is really part of the Doctrine of Truth (Acts 17:11).  Some things in the Doctrine of Truth require studying the Book of Truth to understand correctly (2 Timothy 2:15).  The Spirit of Truth will always lead people to the Doctrine of Truth that is found in the Book of Truth (2 Peter 1:19-21).  Some things in the Book of Truth are hard to understand so they must be studied with the help of the Spirit of Truth so the Children of Truth can know the Doctrine of Truth (2 Peter 3:15-17).

The Father of Truth has given Teachers of Truth to teach the Children of Truth the Doctrine of Truth until they learn how to hear from the Spirit of Truth themselves (1 Corinthians 12:27-29).  The Father of Truth has given the Ministers of Truth so the Children of Truth can grow up in the Doctrine of Truth to become like the Man of Truth instead of being tossed around by every doctrine that someone thinks up (Ephesians 4:11-16).

Every Child of Truth can be given a doctrine about an individual subject that is part of the Doctrine of Truth when they speak in tongues and interpret the message that was spoken in tongues or when they prophesy by the Spirit of Truth in their congregations (1 Corinthians 14:4-6).  A doctrine about an individual subject can come by the Spirit of Truth speaking through any of the Children of Truth and not just the religious professionals (1 Corinthians 14:26-28).  When a doctrine is given in this manner then it is to be judged by comparing it to what is written in the Book of Truth to ascertain that it is from the Spirit of Truth so the congregation grows in the Doctrine of Truth (1 Corinthians 14:29-31).

How does someone begin to learn the Doctrine of Truth? 

No one can learn the Doctrine of Truth until they are born again by the Spirit of Truth in the House of Truth (John 3:6-8).  Anyone who will surrender control of their life to the Man of Truth because they believe that his Father raised him from the dead will be born again in the House of Truth (Romans 10:9-10).  They will be given the Spirit of Truth once they come into the House of Truth (Romans 8:9).  They will begin to learn the Doctrine of Truth in the House of Truth when they take in the Word of Truth found in the Book of Truth like a new born baby taking in milk (1 Peter 2:1-3).

Come into the House of Truth.
