The goal of theology isn't merely more knowledge.

God reveals Himself so that, as we behold His glory in Scripture, we're transformed "from glory to glory."

Why only Jesus?

If God loves the world, why is the way to salvation narrow?

The way is narrow because truth is particular. But the invitation is wide.

A smoke alarm can warn you about the fire. It can’t put it out. Your conscience can tell you something's wrong—but it can’t tell you the gospel. Warning is not rescue.

That raises Ep. 15’s question: If everyone knows about God, why do we need the Bible?

[The Good Doctrine @TheGoodDoctrine]

If everyone knows about God through creation, why do we need the Bible?
Why must God speak? Why must the gospel be proclaimed? And why is “the way” to life narrow?

YAHWEH & BAAL: SAME GOD?

Elijah doesn’t say it's just a different name: “If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him.”

Only one is God.

Can people be saved without hearing the gospel?

Romans 10 connects preaching, hearing, faith, and salvation.

The gospel isn't merely helpful. It's urgent.

Did Christian doctrine change? The apostles never used homoousios. Yet it was developed to protect biblical truths Christians already confessed.

Episode 12 of The Good Doctrine is available now:

[The Good Doctrine @TheGoodDoctrine]

Did Christian doctrine change?

The apostles never used Trinity or homoousios.

Centuries later, Christians spoke of one ousia, three hypostases, and even “subsistent relations.”

If I have the Bible, why do I need the Church?

Scripture is infallible. Our interpretations aren’t.

Christ gave us his Word, his Spirit, and his Church.

Sola Scriptura ≠ Solo Scriptura.

[The Good Doctrine @TheGoodDoctrine]

Does God change his mind?

1 Sam. 15:11: “I regret that I have made Saul king.”

1 Sam. 15:29: “He is not a man, that he should have regret.”

Same chapter. Same author. Same verb.

How can both be true?

From Ep. 11 of The Good Doctrine.

Scripture is infallible. Our interpretations aren't.

Does sola Scriptura therefore mean “just me and my Bible”?
