Doctrine

INTRODUCTION

The holy scriptures say: “But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine” (Tito 2:1) We must study the Holy Scriptures diligently to fulfill that commission. It must be a priority for every believer to know and understand the fundamental doctrines of the Congregation of Yahweh.

Doctrine: Doctrine is a lesson given for someone’s instruction; a collection of religious, social or political ideas that lead a group to join the proponents. According to the Larousse Dictionary, “the messianic doctrine is the accumulation of knowledge that every believer should have. It is important that every faithful messianic believer, regardless of his position or title in the congregation, be nourished with the holy doctrine. Yahshua said: “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of Yahweh, or whether I speak of myself.” John 7:16.

We must be sure that each member of the congregation learns to the best of their ability, every doctrinal point upheld by this honorable organization as its tenets of Faith and Practice. We must recognize that it is not a doctrine of our own creation, but that of Yahweh, we must avoid teaching our own interpretations, ideas or concepts, so as to maintain the Congregation of Yahweh as a column and support of the truth. “(6) If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Yahshua Messiah, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. (13) Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine (16) Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” 1 Timothy 4:6, 13, &16. “For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of Yahweh: but as of sincerity, but as of Yahweh, in the sight of Yahweh speak we in Yahshua”. 2 Corinthians 2:17 “But Yahweh be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.” Romans 6:17

The principal tool of the pastor, leader or believer is the Sacred Scriptures and his central activity must be to bring it to the masses. The pastor is the orator of divine truths. He cannot invent or alter doctrine; he receives it from Yahweh and gives it to the people. The wise administration of Yahweh’s doctrine makes us perfect, or in other words, complete and fully prepared for all good work. The preacher that relies on the Sacred Scriptures will feel its support. To complete the introduction and proceed to the fundamental doctrine of the Congregation of Yahweh, let’s consider Ecclesiastes 12:9, 10. “(9) And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge: yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. (10) The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.”
