TEACHING AS DOCTRINE THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN  by steve finnell


How teachings of denominational churches are God's commandments as opposed to the doctrines of men?

The Pharisees and scribes were more concerned with keeping man-made traditions than following God's commandments.

Mark 7:5-7 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the traditions of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?" 6 He answered and said to them, "Well  did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 7 And in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrine the commandments of men.'(NKJV)

Are the doctrines found in denominational creed books God's doctrines or are they the traditions of men?

1. Praying to the Virgin Mary and other dead saints. God's doctrine or tradition of men?

2. Rejecting water baptism as essential to salvation. God's doctrine or the tradition of men?

3. Teaching that some men are predetermined for salvation while others are predetermined to burn in hell. God's doctrine or the tradition of men?

4. Claiming that the Pope is the head of the church of Christ on earth. God's doctrine or the tradition of men?

5. Teaching that because of God's grace those chosen for salvation are force to believe the gospel. God's doctrine or the tradition of men?

6. Asserting that your denominations view of Christianity supercedes the doctrines of God found in  the Bible. God's doctrine or the tradition of men?

Mark 7:9 And He said to them, "All to well you reject the commandments of God, that you may keep your tradition.
