Doctrine and Another Jesus www.GraceandTruth.

net Some preachers have been heard to make such statements as, "Doctrine doesn't mat ter" or "One man's doctrine is another man's garbage". These are very ignorant s tatements. Men make statements that doctrine is of no consequence and that the o nly thing that matters is that as Christians, we must all join hands and get alo ng. This is completely against scripture. First of all we must define the word " doctrine" from the original Greek Text. There are two common Greek words for the word "doctrine" in the Greek Text. 1. - meaning instruction (the function or the information) in learning or teachi ng. 2. - instruction -the act or the matter. When men say doctrine doesn't matter, they are saying God's "instruction" in his word is of no consequence. Jesus said to the Jews, "My doctrine (didache instruct ion) is not mine, but his (the Father) that sent me. If any man will do his will , he shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myse lf. He that of himself (his own instruction) his own glory but he that seeketh h is glory that sent him (the Father), the same is true (doctrine/instruction) and no unrighteousness is in him." Jesus is saying here that the man is only righte ous who is doing the will or the instruction (doctrine) of the Father. Does the doctrine matter? Listen to Paul: Rom 16:17 Mark (skopeo - take aim, reg ard or take heed) them which cause divisions (dichostasis disunion or two standing s) and - snare or apostasy) contrary (para - near) to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. Paul is saying here that you must be able to recognize instruction that is close (para - parallel) to true doctrine because it brings about division in the church and causes the believers to stumble. This false doc trine runs parallel (para) with Truth. It even resembles the truth in its termin ology. It speaks of "born again", "saved" and "Salvation". It even has a Jesus, a spirit, and a gospel. It is not however the Jesus of the Bible. The Bible spea ks of two Jesus, two spirits, and two gospels. One is the real, the other is the false. Paul speaks of this other Jesus in II Cor For if he that cometh "another Jesus" whom we have not preached (a false Jesus), or if ye receive (another tru th - The Holy Spirit is truth John 14:16.17 - 15:26-16:13. 1 John 5:61 which ye have not received or "another gospel"( The gospel is the resurrection Cor which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. Satan does not come and decei ve wearing a red suit with horns, a and hooves. If he is going to deceive - lead astray), he will deceive no one by looking evil. If you are going to poison a m an (as the false preachers are poisoning the flock), you don't hand him a bottle with a skull and cross bones on the side labeled POISON and say to him "Drink t his." You must disguise the poison and put it in a good counterfeit container an d feed it to him slowly. You give him a well-brewed cup of coffee with just a li ttle strychnine in it so that he can hardly taste it. After a while he thinks yo u are such a nice guy for bringing him coffee all of the time. No one will be ab le to convince him that you are not what you appear to be (this is how poisoned sheep feel about their pastors who are such nice guys). is true false preachers. They take a little truth and wrap it around a poison lie. When you find out who is poisoning you by examining the word (having the coffee analyzed) you won't t hink that Pastor so and so is such a swell fellow anymore. Then you will become angry. When you have to have your stomach pumped out many times and you run up a large doctor and hospital bill (from drinking so much poison coffee (doctrine), then you will be enraged at this man who has been deceiving you. Satan must com e as a counterfeit Jesus. He must look and sound like Jesus. Paul goes on to tell us this in this Chapter II Cor. He tells us how Satan's fol lowers masquerade as preachers of the gospel. II Cor 11:13.14.15 For such are fa lse apostles, deceitful workers, transforming (metaschematizo - disguise or to a pply by accommodating) themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; fo r Satan himself is transformed (metaschematizo - disguised) into an angel of lig

ht. Therefore, it is no great thing if his ministers - deacons - waiters of tabl es, attendants serving food - The tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil - all t hat is in the world will explain this later), also be transformed into the minis ters of righteousness: whose end shall be according to their works. Paul is sayi ng that these preachers coming to Corinth are preaching a Jesus (of some sort) a spirit (somewhat) and a gospel (of some kind). They are trying to present thems elves and their "doctrine" (instruction) as the real thing. Paul is warning the church at Corinth that Satan comes looking like Jesus. He uses the same terminol ogy and carries a Bible. Satan and his ministers come transforming themselves. L ets look at this word Transform. Metaschematizo - meaning to disguise or to appl y oneself by accommodation. Webster says accommodation means adaptation to a pur pose or adjustment. It means a reconciliation of differences. When you reconcile differences, you allow each to keep his different beliefs but set them aside to "get along". This is called "agree to disagree agreeably". That is the Devil's Doctrine. He says "I am the kind of Jesus that will let you believe whatever you want just talk about it. Lets all get along and slide into heaven together." Le ts look at this word Transformed in the Greek Text. Metaschematizo is a construc tion of two Greek Words. 1. - meaning accompaniment "amid" association - used in the same relation as participation or proximity and transfer or sequence. 2. Sc hema - a figure (as a mode or circumstance) an external condition - fashion (hav ing an "outward form" of Godliness - II Tim looking like it from a distance but with no power - - the gospel or resurrection.) When Paul uses this word Transfor med (metaschematizo) to describe Satan (this counterfeit Jesus), he is saying th at you can go to a church. The false preacher will preach an accommodating Jesus . This is one who will "conform" to you. He will adapt his message (doctrine - i nstruction) and fashion himself to your current lifestyle. You won't have to cha nge and conform to him. He will allow you to have your differences with the Bibl e and if anyone tries to correct (rebuke) you about what you believe he will hav e his minister (transformed) say something like this "Lets reconcile our differe nces, lets agree to disagree agreeably". Those are evil words of Satan. He will say, "Accept Jesus and you are home free." You don't have to change and conform to anything. I'm Jesus and I'll conform to you. This is not what Paul says in Ro m 8:29 For whom he did foreknow - to have an intimate relationship with someone before), he also did predestinate (pro 'orizo - to before bound in light) TO BE CONFORMED - to be shaped like Christ in fellowship) to the image (eikon - likene ss, similar) of his son (Jesus). Paul says we are predestined "to conform" to Ch rist. He will not change to our ways and our thinking. The "real" Jesus does not accommodate us. He will not let us have our differences and agree to disagree. The writer Hebrews speaks of the immutability of his[God's] counsel - Will, purp ose). Immutability means that he will not bow or conform to our ways or accompan y us with no change. Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the of his counsel (Will). Immutability is the Greek word Its construction is as follows: A- the alpha or first letter of the Greek alpha bet is used as a negative particle (negating the word following giving a complet e opposite meaning.) When used this way the "A" or alpha (as a negative particle ) is called the alpha primitive. Lets look at the following word that the alpha primitive negates (giving an opposite meaning). is a composite of two syllables. meaning to accompany or association as previously defined and 2. - to lev 1. Meta el in a passive or horizontal posture. This word means to bow or level oneself t o associate with another. The alpha primitive (a) before this word negates the w ord meaning. The writer is saying that God will not (alpha) level his will to as sociate with us He will not conform and adjust to us. This is the "other Jesus" when he transforms and adjusts to the people. Anyone who preaches a Jesus that conforms to an unchanging people is a minister of Satan and he calls his evil master "Jesus" from the pulpit. elect of God ] ag ree with God. We never agree with the statement "to be agreeable" in anyway with false doctrine. The word confess means to be "of the same word" and to agree wi th. We confess Christ and agree with him. Homo - of the same logos(word). Confes s means to be of the same word at the same time. In the first century the Greeks

said that if you confessed and "agreed" with someone you would do what they Gra ce and Truth Newsletter said. You would be obedient to their words (doctrine or instruction). The other Jesus changes his doctrine to fit the lives of his follo wers. The Jesus of the Bible changes for no one. He requires our repentance - to be turned, to change and think differently). Those who belong to him must chang e and follow his doctrine (instruction). Speaking of the doctrine of Christ, Pau l says I Tim 6:3 If any man teach other wise - instruct differently, teach other doctrine) and consent - assent to, worship, approach, to come to) not to wholes ome to be or true in doctrine) words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ (The real Jesus) and to the doctrine (instruction) which is according to godliness the The Jesus of the Bible changes for no one. gospel scheme, good worship, hol iness, purity); He is proud (tuphoo - blinded and consumed by a smoke with no fi re - He can't see for seeing himself), knowing nothing (man knows nothing when h e goes after another - He is destitute of truth - - supposing that gain is godli ness (All other doctrines have money, things, and stuff as their doctrine saying things like, "See how the Lord has blessed me". Preachers who preach for money and gauge a man's spirituality by the gain of this world are messengers of Satan , transforming themselves into preachers of He will die in his sin preaching ano ther Jesus from the pulpit. John speaks of how we are to treat those who corrupt themselves with this "gain is godliness (another gospel). II John 10 there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine (instruction) receive him not into you r house, neither bid him Godspeed. For he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds. The word Godspeed is the word "to be cheerful" to be well, bi d farewell, be glad, greet, hail, joy, and rejoice. John says if a man brings an y instruction (doctrine) other than the instruction of Christ do not be agreeabl e, do not be cheerful to such a person, do not feel joy or rejoice to see them; do not say "have a nice day." The word "grace" is the root word of Chairo (Godsp eed) - do not be gracious to them. We are God's house Do not bring them joyfully into fellowship with this house of God, "whose house are we." If a man receives this false doctrine into his fello wship putting his approval on it by "agreeing to disagree agreeably" then he is a partaker of this false teacher's evil messenger. He will suffer the judgment o f Gods indignation. Paul says in Rom 16:17.18 the thing that causes divisions (d isunion) and offences (causing people to stumble) is contrary (para - near - we get our word parallel from para). It is a parallel doctrine. It looks and sounds good. It's close (para - near) and runs along beside truth. Paul says these pre achers serve their own belly (the belly was said to be the seat of all sensual p leasures) and that it is by good words - plausible) and fair speeches, (eulogia - fine speaking) that these false preachers deceive the hearts of the simple - i nnocent). The only way that you can tell the real Jesus from the other Jesus is by their doctrine. The real Jesus says, "Take your cross, deny self, follow me, mortify the deeds of the flesh, enter the narrow way, in the world ye shall have tribulation, if the world hated and persecuted me they will persecute and hate you, you have to go through the fire daily, you must suffer for righteousness sa ke, you must be reproached (defamed, become infamous) you must mourn and agonize over sin, be holy and much more." The other Jesus says (his doctrine) just acce pt Christ, pray this prayer, God wants you happy and enjoying life with lots of good health and plenty of money. Just go to church and fill a pew. Don't cuss (m uch), drink (much), smoke (much), or chew (much). You'll be all right, after all , God understands that you're only human and we all sin a little. You're OK. The only way that you can tell the difference in the two Jesus' (who they really ar e) is in their doctrine (instruction). Rom 6:16.17 Know ye not to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey (his instructio ns), whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness. But God be t hanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of "doctrine" (instruction), which was delivered you. If the Jesus you ser ve conforms to your lifestyle and requires no repentance and change in you - - Y ou've got the wrong Jesus. DOCTRINE IS EVERYTHING.

to the world (free of charge) and to teach believers how to study the Bible. The world (especially preachers) is not studying, much less studying correctly. Two things are foremost in studying the Bible. The New Testament was written in a G reek world in a Greek language. 2) It was written in the Century with Greek idio ms (particular language and dialects with phrases and expressions recognized by people who lived in that day and time) and metaphors (figure of speech containin g an implied comparison, in which a word or phrase ordinarily used of one thing is applied to another - Webster). In his book "Light From The Ancient East", Ado lph Deissman says, "Paul would have found no open door if he had not been to the Greeks "A Greek" i.e. if he had not in the hellenised (Greek thought and cultur e in phrases, idioms and customs) world spoken to hellenised men in the Hellenis tic popular language. To means to make or become Greek in customs ideal form or language. In the Century the entire world was living in a Greek world, with Gree k culture, philosophies, gods, customs, language, etc., as introduced in the Cen tury B.C. when Alexander the Great overthrew the Empire. Greeks ruled the world for several hundred years. The Romans conquered the remains (the 4 remaining gen erals after the death of Alexander the Great) of the Greek Empire in approx B.C. The Roman Empire (The Kingdom of Iron in Dan 2) was a barbaric system that crus hed everything in its path. They were crude warriors with no culture of their ow n. They retained all the culture of the Grecians. This included the philosophies , idioms, etc. previously mentioned. When Jesus walked the earth, the Romans wer e ruling in Tyranny B.C. - 476 That is certainly obvious since it was Roman Caes ars that ruled at his birth and death (Augustus and Tiberius). The New Testament was written in a world ruled by Romans who kept all the language and culture th e Greeks. Therefore in studying the Bible we need a basic understanding of Roman law, Greek culture and language and Jewish history and culture as well. They ha d sayings (idioms) that were strictly related to the time and place of this 1st Century Roman Empire with its Greek influences. Jesus, Paul, Peter, John and the other writers used these cultural Century idioms continually in scripture. We c annot read an English Bible and put our own personal 20th and Century spin on wh at is said. We have idioms that only apply to America and our culture wherever i t is found in the world. the world were here a thousand years from now (I do not believe that it will be) and someone began to dig up our language and customs ( idioms), they would sayings like "Kick the bucket," "Knock yourself out," "split hairs," "root, hog or die," "cutting off ones nose to spite face," "bent out of shape," "put on the dog," "the devil to pay," "bite the dust," "till the cows c ome home," "having cold feet," "a bone to pick," "let the cat out of the bag," " white elephant," "up the creek without a paddle," "Adams off ox," "bull market." I have several books full of such idioms. you were from another culture in anot her time speaking another language with a completely different set of idioms, yo u would have no idea what the above "sayings" meant. you tried to put your own s pin with your language and time you would be "way off base," or "out in left fie ld." This is what the preachers of the last 100 years have come to. have given a current opinion about the word and sayings of the Bible, putting a current defi nition on the "sayings" of scripture. The Bible seems so "religious and proper" to some that they cannot imagine that the writers of the Bible were using cultural idioms and common phraseology of th e day. Here are some idioms that had an exact meaning (no 20* and Century opinio n is allowed). "Bind and Loose" (Matt "Spirit (Ghost) and fire" (Matt 3:11). "Sh ake off the dust of your feet" (Matt 10:14). "Ye have heard that it was said" (M att "Jot or tittle" (Matt (Matt "Ask an egg will he Mary's Mailbox Dear Grace Li steners, Just eight more That's right, eight weeks until I retire.

Yo u see, they had as many as we have. You cannot think you know by 20th and Centur y English thinking what these words and phrases meant. They had "EXACT" definiti on and application. Without studying the men who have maintained these idioms an d metaphors it is impossible to know what they really mean. You can guess night and day for a year and if you haven't studied or heard these taught by authoriti es on the Greek world and Jewish background it in not possible to know what thes e mean.
