Paul Warned of the doctrine of men, false doctrines
Colossians 2:22 Which all … after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, also see 1 Timothy 1:3 4:1 6:3, 2 Timothy 4:3
Paul advocated strong doctrine (true doctrine), to Timothy and Titus:
1 Timothy 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
1 Timothy 4:6,13,16, 5:17, 6:1, 2 Timothy 3:10,16, 4:2 Titus 1:9, 2:1,7,10
To the Church in Corinthians Paul warned:
1 Corinthians 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
1 Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
And to the church in Rome:
Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Here are some of the doctrines that Paul taught:
The Trinity: God is ONE; Father, Son, Holy Spirit, each “Who” possessing all the attributes of Deity and personality.
The Person of Jesus Christ: Jesus is 100% God and 100% man for all eternity.
The Second Coming: Jesus Christ is coming, first in the rapture, 7 years later, bodily to earth to rule and judge.
The Scripture: It is entirely inerrant and sufficient for all Christian life
Salvation: It is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
Mysteries of God: First revealed to PAUL to pass on to the Church
