WHAT ARE SPIRITUAL DOCTRINES?

NOTE: whether one decides to make their own leader Bible teaching, doctrinal, slant, “Back Under the Old Testament Levitical Law” or not, that is a deep doctrinal ministry, personal CHOICE. Due to length and time involved, I will not be able to delve into THAT being huge, nonlegalistic, ministry point. Yet I continually address it on audio, video, written since 2012 at least.

⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for DOCTRINE, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Above CENTER (white inset area, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 verse) has been the ongoing “original, In House Organic” Encouraging Word, IFFM, Taveau Creative Leadership and DFW Leader Ministry Fellowship ongoing logo since 1987!

“But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine…” Titus 2:1

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4

⁶All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:¹⁷That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17**

**NOTE: Isn’t it a big IRONY that this scripture is Apostle Paul taught at the end of the infamous (2 Timothy 3:1-5) “accusers, boasters, lovers of themselves…v. 5 “From SUCH TURN AWAY ( even some continually big Friendly Fire Fellowships!)

NOTE: We Bible emphasize that this often quoted Bible verse (which immediately follows) is NOT to be used for SIN SPYING, NAME CALLING and/or SELF RIGHTEOUS BIBLE BEAT DOWNS… Reason WHY? We submit that this is a God form of desiring RELATIONSHIP PROTECTIONS, HONOR, RESPECT for the human parties involved in any of the following… So again, Reprise: RELIGIOUS RIGHT SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS..”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 1:10

AS IN ISAIAH 29:24 …WHAT IS SPIRITUAL LEADER DOCTRINE?

** (AT THE LEAST) OUR OWN DEFINITION OF SPIRITUAL “DOCTRINE” is as follows...

“Spiritual doctrine” is, by this pioneering ministry, assessed as “moral, personal, life … infrastructure… for making MULTI-LEVEL, big and small real choices regarding life, leadership, personal, private matters.

ONE’S OWN INNER DOCTRINE acts as the seat of their moral compass, their own heart conscience, and either gives rise to their own moral voice (or absence thereof).

PERSONAL SPIRITUAL DOCTRINE is ultimately between the Human Person and the Living God. Ephesians 4 “common doctrine” when properly taught, also ensures that as one of the basic rights and choices of every Born Again Christ Follower. (Noble Berean, being commanded to “work out their own salvation” while balancing it with fellowship, “iron sharpens iron” healthy Bible teaching, more).

PERSONAL INFRASTRUCTURE, ONES OWN PERSONAL DOCTRINAL BELIEFS.. may be likened to an invisible coral reef , which may or may not be healthy to encounter… and yet barnacles do adhere, and many abiding fish therein feed, however many both great and very small boats, often stay clear of. Regrettably, shipwrecks,**even loss of life, regularly occur on most of these hardened, obscured coral reefs!”

** PLEASE NOTE… God allows some (mature leader,lay) perilous various types of “SHIPWRECKS”… such as the literal Acts 27-28 shipwreck endured by Paul, not to forget his many (albeit productive) prison captivity times, each of which, (oddly, a mystery) turned out to be Stealth… as well as BIG ODD…but GOD..Only REASON? “for the sake of the furtherance of the Gospel”

AND perhaps also for leadership pre-honoring apostolic humbling, for various unknown , but REASONS…AND, me thinks, to surely to test, try the minds and hearts of those who kept WATCH on Apostle Paul, many leader others..both personally, in ministry and mostly also likely friends and family inner circle!..as I know that has happened to ME!

Apostle Paul stated that he endured much BUFFETING due to “the abundance of his revelations.” (And KING DAVID similar PSALM 132).

And in the middle of the collective trials, Apostle Paul himself was set freer and more free from FEAR and LEGALISM, remaining DOUBT. NOTE: these repeated ‘siftings” caused him to have nobody else to turn to OTHER THAN the His Abba Father, THE ONLY LORD. And in each prison house situation, each opposing force and in even the events during and surrounding the SHIPWRECK Apostle Paul GREW in leader wisdom, understanding and in longsuffering ongoing perspective. He apostollically WROTE from this BIG REFINING PROCESS Life Saving, Life Giving, Not into PEOPLE PLEASING Perspective.

Implied apostolic enduring meaning: that God allowed Apostle Paul to be distracted with heightened real spiritual and natural multi real real PRESSURES, even life endangering, truly PERILOUS (natural) TIMES…to keep Paul soft, humble, and not take himself over seriously, as Paul talked about “he valued moving to heaven more than remaining ..as the GLORY to come was so much more inviting!) PARAPHRASE.
