Doctrine is nothing
more than a set of teachings about a particular topic. Where
Confessions and Creeds tend to be conclusive
doctrinal statements rather than rigorous examinations of competing
points of view, this page will provide some lively,
even contentious, debates that occupy so much of our time --
but not without purpose. We cannot accept someone's characterization
of biblical truth without challenging, questioning, and
comparing what has been said to Scripture itself - and that must be
done by employing the full range of interpretive and
diagnostic tools at our disposal. I've arranged the doctrines according
to their standard classifications, as
follows:

condition of man

cross)
