True Doctrine of Jesus

The Bible provides sufficient knowledge for everything that a human being needs to know. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 say that scripture is profitable or sufficient for doctrine, and throughly furnish the man of God for every good work. I’m saying, scripture is enough. At the same time, people with the Bible have very often perverted what’s in it, so that they don’t have or hold scriptural doctrine.

Certain major doctrines give a prominent example of this, such as the doctrine of the deity of Christ. Early in the history of Christianity, even in the first century before the completion of scripture, professing believers began denying that Jesus was either fully God or fully man. The Apostles and then the Word of God said and say that Jesus is God, so what happened? People calling themselves Christians were affected by popular worldly philosophy or thinking. Some began to mix man’s viewpoints with God, attempting to conform them to one another. The big issue for them was the union of the divine and the human.. This still haunts churches and so-called Christianity today.

John wrote about this in 2 John 1:9: “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” Therefore, in the first century many embraced a false doctrine of Jesus Christ. John says that anyone with these false doctrines of Christ, either denying His full deity or humanity, also did not have or possess either the Father or the Son. That means that these who denied the true identity of Jesus Christ were not saved and did not have eternal life. There is a doctrinal component to salvation. Believing in Jesus Christ is believing in the one and only, actual Jesus Christ. A major component is the full deity and humanity of Jesus.
