Simply response to an over exaggerated question, is there a difference between Jesus and doctrine?

[olger]

hard to separate them since Jesus taught our doctrines.

Better to quote accurately. It is "YE search the scriptures......" A much different meaning.

I don't remember Him teaching the 28 as we teach them now. But perhaps my memory is impaired.

[Kountzer]

Good article. I've thought about a lot of the same issues.

Each doctrine is a window through which we can see God. Those that we jettison, we plywood over.

"it is these (Scriptures) that testify about Me;" John 5:39 NASB parenthesis mine LHC

"...Scriptures are all about me!" John 5:39 MSG

"...Scriptures...and these are they which testify of Me."

John 5:39 NKJV

"...scriptures...and these are they which bear witness of me" John 5:39 ASV

"...scriptures...and they are they which testify of me.

" John 5:39 KJV

The focus remains the same, with meaning, for me.

Praise God for the windows.
