  5. An Argument For this Kind Of Study 1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,

  6. Argument (cont.) Hebrews 5:12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, 2Tim 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth

  7. Argument (cont.) 2Cor 5: 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

  8. Understanding Christian Doctrine

  9. The Discussion Of Doctrine • What is doctrine? • Why is it important for us to know? • Define the different doctrines of the Christian faith • Define the Doctrine Of Christ • How does it differ from the other doctrines? • Relate to Christology

  10. The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

  11. Doctrine is: A statement of what we believe to be true about our Faith. It is shaped by theological reflection. Theology simply means “the study of God.” It is reflection upon the nature, person, and works of God. The goal of theology is not to confuse but to clarify. Doctrine is intended to sharpen our understanding of faith, not to dull it.
