Doctrine (lit., "teaching) A belief or teaching that has been carefully formulated. The term "doctrine of Christ" can refer to the whole body of belief. The Scriptures always use the word "doctrine" in the singular when referring to the doctrine of God, and use it in the plural when speaking of the doctrines of men. There is "one faith," i.e., one system of beliefs or doctrines (Eph 4:5), which was once for all time delivered to the saints (Jude 3). God expects men to agree with one another in their teaching (1 Cor 1:10-13). There is only one gospel (Gal 1:6-9). Paul taught the same thing in every church – 1 Cor 4:17). 1 Tim 4:11-16; 2 Tim 3:16-17; Matt 7:28; Matt 15:9, Jn 12:47-50; Jn 14:21-24 Col 2:18-23, Tit 1:14, 2 Jn 9-11; Rom 16:17; 1 Tim 6:3-5
