"The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed." --Thomas Paine (Author, 1737-1809)
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires.” (2 Timothy 4:3)
What is the "sound doctrine" which Paul says will be abandoned?
The sound doctrine Paul taught is as follows:
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
"Yet now, being freed from Sin, yet enslaved to God, you have your fruit for holiness. For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life..." (Romans 6:22-23)
"This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wills all humanity to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and humans, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all humanity, the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying) as a teacher of the nations in faith and truth." (1 Timothy 2:3-7)
"...we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all humanity, especially of believers. Prescribe and teach these things." (1 Timothy 4:9-11)
"As in Adam all die, even so, in Christ, shall all humanity be made alive." (1 Corinthians 15:22)
I rest in the sound doctrine of the grace of God, and placed my faith in the finished work of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

"For the grace of God has appeared bringing salvation to all humanity..." (Titus 2:11)
For it is by Grace you have been saved, through FAITH - and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, it is the GIFT OF GOD, nor of works..." (Ephesians 2:8)
"Now Christ...through His own blood, entered once for all into the holy places, finding everlasting redemption..." (Hebrews 9:11-12)
In all manner of stress I try to fix my...
