What is “sound doctrine” and what is “a different doctrine”?

February 17, 2022 by Keith Swift Leave a Comment

When Jesus taught on earth in Judea, thousands heard and listened to Him.  A few believed in Him.  And some recorded what He said (in writing of course).  Jesus’ teachings became what we call “the Gospel of Jesus Christ“.

When a person deviates from that true Gospel – it is then “a different doctrine”, not the same as what Jesus actually taught.  There actually are church pastors teaching worldwide what they feel are new revelations from God.  They pervert Jesus’ teachings.  Want to be found following them  when Jesus comes again?

They are changing the original teachings of Jesus because of their supposed “new revelations“.  That makes them “apostates“, because God’s words never change.

The Gospel of Jesus that we follow as born again Christians – is found explicitly in the first five New Testament books, and then by Peter, Timothy, Jude, and James.  I like to say, “If your doctrine differs from that of “the five”, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul, then you have strayed from the “the One”, the message of salvation spoken by Jesus to the murderer Paul. See His actual words in Acts 26:14-18.

Paul was knocked off his horse by a blinding light from the sky. (Read his story.) What will it take for you to turn around and follow Jesus?

Different Doctrines… differing from the true Gospel
Differing doctrines (the doctrines that differ from “the sound doctrine” taught by “the five”) are false doctrines, not to be followed. Scripture warns that this falseness will grow in the End Times.

2 Timothy 4:3  For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts,

THAT predicted End Time coming?  It has come.  It is now time.  We are in it, and things are going to heat-up real quickly  (2 Timothy 3:1).

It is of dire importance that you not follow false doctrines.  They lead away from true faith in Jesus.

Matthew 7:13-14
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it.

14 But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it.

There is no other saving gospel 
The only Gospel that saves us for all eternity — is the unadulterated Gospel of Jesus.  Jesus is the Godman who was born a “Godman-baby”, lived as the Godman for 33 years, died as the Godman, and rose from the dead because He was the Godman.

Don’t let Bethel and others convince you that Jesus was not both in one — both God and man in one person while here on earth.  They teach Jesus was a mere man all throughout His life here, and died as a mere man.  That type of “gospel” will keep you on the road to destruction.  Galatians 1:6-9.

False teachers are empty suits that have no saving grace.  They lead you on the road of deception and destruction.

1 Timothy 6:3-5
3 If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine and teaching which is in agreement with godliness (personal integrity, upright behavior),

4 he is conceited and woefully ignorant [understanding nothing]. He has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, which produces envy, quarrels, verbal abuse, evil suspicions, 5 and perpetual friction between men

who are corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, who think that godliness is a source of profit [a lucrative, money-making business—withdraw from them].

they will turn away
from truth — to myths


Different Doctrines  …differing from the true Gospel

1 Timothy 1:3-7
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus

that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine, 4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes, rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith—

5 but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith, 6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.

2 Timothy 3:1
But know this: that in the last days, grievous times will come.

1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts set Christ apart [as holy—acknowledging Him, giving Him first place in your lives] as Lord. Always be ready to give a [logical] defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope and confident assurance [elicited by faith] that is within you, yet [do it] with gentleness and respect.

The real deal
Always be ready to explain “The real deal”.

“Account for
the hope and confident assurance
[elicited by faith]
that is within you”
– 1 Peter 3:15

This is the hope we have:

Titus 2:13-14  NASB version 
“13  looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of [a]our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 

14 who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, eager for good deeds“

The Amplified says it this way:

Titus 2:13-14  Amplified
13 awaiting and confidently expecting the [fulfillment of our] blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

14 who [willingly] gave Himself [to be crucified] on our behalf to redeem us and purchase our freedom from all wickedness, and to purify for Himself a chosen and very special people to be His own possession, who are enthusiastic for doing what is good.

We are saved, simply and only, through sincere and truthful repentance and confession, believing in — Jesus, the God who came down to earth as a baby human – who was at the same time God Almighty.  Oh how marvelous!

Believe in the Name of Jesus.

“A whole lot of “accepting”
is going on there
in that moment in time…
“when you (if you did), or I, said,
“I accept Christ as my Lord and Savior”.

Are you aware of
what-all it actually requires
to truly “accept Christ”?

I want God’s message – clean and unadulterated.  And, because He is all-knowing, He does not change his mind.  No word of today can ever change His Word already given.  The Bible is solid ground.  “All other ground is sinking sand.”

It’s crazy how so many have tried in the past, and are still doing it – “re-interpreting” or discovering some “personal or special” interpretation,  attempting to legitimize a new creative way to have it their way.  If that is happening in your church – don’t believe it.  Just walk away.

Bentley – News on Todd Bentley

The charismatic movement has been troubled by unbiblical practices and teachings. I am amazed at how folks are so easily mislead. “Many have exchanged the truth for a lie and chosen experience over content.” Look and examine and see, and compare with what the Bible teaches.

False Prophets

“You may be asking yourselves, “How can we tell if a prophet’s message really comes from the Lord?”” -Deuteronomy 18:21. How can we distinguish the true from the false?

No Faith In Heaven

Faith will not be necessary in heaven. Faith and hope will be ¨done away¨with (1 Corinthians 13:v8). When we finally are brought into His Kingdom, instead of on this earth with His Holy Spirit, then we will have Him, not just merely faith and hope.

Christian Answers Regarding Islam

Christian Answers Regarding Islam 1. The Koran purports it does not contradict the Bible but supports it.

Biblical Homosexuality

…a Christian´s Perspective on Homosexuality Quoted from: http://www.indegayforum.org/news/show/31489.html Donny | April 18, 2008, 11:33am | # I’m up to the challenge of gay theology questions: In-hospitality towards others and “haughtiness” were the sins of Sodom. But Ezekiel is quite explicit about sexual sins being front and center as well. “Haughtiness” and the word “Gay” as […]

Inexplicable Joy

Heaven is a joyful place. That is hard for me to imagine… Everywhere I look around me, I see so many problems, issues and unresolved conflicts. But in heaven, they won’t exist anymore. There will only be joy because my sins have been paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ.  One of the main things that describes being in heaven is JOY. The word “joy” has a much deeper meaning than just happiness. To be happy can change so quickly. It can come and go in a moment. But joy…

Letter to Danny

We are continually bombarded by the fiery darts of the Evil One.  And when these little pricks hit us, we need to put-out the flames, quickly. Doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy, troubles, unruly kids…, when they come at us, we “have to declare” the truths of God, and  we have to choose Truth over lies. 

Children’s Bible in a Nutshell

A quick overview of the Bible (tongue-in-cheek). A child was told to write a book report on the entire Bible. 

About Biblical Inerrancy

Would God give us erroneous documents and call them “His”? Dumb idea! God brought everything together to form the Bible. Evidence is overpowering as you read what the Bible is, and what it tells us. “It is the history of the Bible that makes it unique among ‘sacred texts.’ See who wrote the Bible, how its reportive style is backed by archeology and historians…” – Quote from “Why You Can Believe the Bible” (www.everystudent.com).

Oh what a day that will be!
Wow! To enter into the Kingdom of God - freely as His redeemed child. No cringing in shame, no burden of sinfulness before Almighty Holy God. I can only imagine.

Jesus, the second man, is the Lord from Heaven
"The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.” In 1 Corinthians 15:47 the Apostle Paul explained that Jesus, while on earth, was absolutely God-man.  He was not a mere man, ever.

There Is Only One God
Getting tired of people flippantly saying, ¨Oh my god!¨ Ever wonder who their ¨god¨ is!? Does that ¨god¨ know he is ¨theirs¨? Do you say that? We are quite the god-makers, are we not! What do you mean…“your God”?

God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away…. “And the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore” –Psalm 121:8

When it comes to God, who wants mere opinions?
When talking “God” and “Truth” – I really do not care what you think. You should not care what I think. What matters is “what God thinks”.
Lost I Came To Him Oh the wonder of that love of our fathomless Creator, to save me in spite of my self-centered soul. Lost and rebellious, He chose me. Pursued and wooed, what mystery – grace. I said yes to Creator God. To know…
Time as it really is Since Heaven is not regulated by time, the passage of time on earth is a separate event. *We will all step out of time together – into God’s presence, with no “time lag”,…The time it takes to go from earth to God's presence - is instant. There is no waiting around in the next dimension for earth time to finish, no midway point of gathering, no Purgatory. It will be an instantaneous experience for all mankind that ever lived. At the moment of death, our soul instantly leaves....

No Tolerance for Error
God is not sloppy nor wishy-washy.... There is no room at all – for error – when it comes to being right with God. You are either all in, or you are all out. Are you sure you’re in?

Simple View of Life  a simple view of everything. God of Everything that is – created everything. We are very fortunate that He is loving and kind, and really, really wants us.
Ashamed of Yourself?
Ever done something you are ashamed of?  Come on now, you’re sitting there by yourself – ‘fess-up.  Nobody listenin’ to your brain confess.  So... Yes?  Scenario: “You have? What!?
Being Christian What's it like these days to be a Christian? Really a Christian. For many, what the Bible teaches is generally okay, but, when it comes to certain specificities, what it says, they reason, needs to be interpreted in the light of today's enlightened realities. But -- will that work in - The End - when we stand before Him, physically? Stop and think about that Day.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the fool’s day. Tomorrow may never come. I may not get older. This may be it. 3.18.2017
Vortex of Good & Evil As mere humans, we are engulfed in the vortex of battle between good and evil. We must remember – it is God who created us, not we ourselves.  1.25.2017
What God has going on with us here on this planet.
God downloaded to earth ...inserted Himself into our history.  Jesus came to earth in order to satisfy the Courts of Heaven for our freedom. 3.23.2016

Cognitive Dissonance
...that extreme feeling of discomfort some folks get when their core belief is challenged or contradicted. What they think (“cognitive”) is rattled (dissonance) by what other evidences purport to be true – in direct conflict with what they hold to be “true”.  8.14.2018
Actually Try To Do The Deed 3.23.2016   “It’s not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better."

What God Did for Man
…The Simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. God walked the earth as a man. Have you ever wondered how it all got started – the universe, the earth, nature, animals, you and your “like”, mankind? 2.19.2018
The Bible is “able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation”
Do you honestly want to know how to get right with God?  Jesus promised He would save us for an eternity of only good, nothing bad. 9.31.2020

Forgiveness for evil deeds done

Time and tide are relentless. So are the many relentless Old Testament prophecies happening right now – but not in the way most thought they would be fulfilled. Are you ready for “the end” that Jesus spoke of? Take Jesus’ Challenge.

So this is what “woke” sounds like

So this is what “woke” sounds like?  You think?

Euphrates River

Words of Mere Men Are Not God’s Words

Mark 7:7 “They worship Me in vain [their worship is meaningless and worthless, a pretense], Teaching the precepts of men as doctrines [giving their traditions equal weight with the Scriptures].” You’d think it would be quite obvious, you think? When church leaders announce that they speak directly from God, they instantly become a bonafide false prophet if their words are later shown to be wrong. False prediction = False Prophet. Easy.

Dancing with doctrines of demons

We are warned in the Bible not to fool around with the Devil and his occult practices. Are you?
