2 Timothy 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

Paul is the pattern for salvation in this dispensation of grace (Colossians 1:25). Paul is the pattern for doctrine, manner of life, purpose and faith to the church, the body of Christ (1 Timothy 1:16).

Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Doctrine is delivered to the church and is to be obeyed.

Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

The church is to exhibit unity in regard to doctrine (Ephesians 4:3 Ephesians 4:13). Division in the body results from disobedience to delivered doctrine.

1 Timothy 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

Only the delivered doctrine given to the church is to be taught.

1 Corinthians 4:15 For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

4:16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

The church, the body, is formed by believing the gospel revealed to Paul by the Lord Jesus Christ (Galatians 1:12). The body is to follow Paul for a pattern for doctrine and manner of life. The church is to follow Paul, as he follows Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1).

4:17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.

Paul is teacher to all the churches in the body.

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Paul is a pattern of doctrine and teaching whose teaching is to be passed on to others in the body.

2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Paul taught by word or epistle the doctrine and instruction delivered to the body. It is in the epistles of Paul where the body finds the commands and teachings to hold and obey.

Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

It is in the epistles of Paul we find the gospel of our salvation unto eternal life.

It seems that doctrine has another meaning among the churches today.

Noun. 1. religious doctrine - the written body of teachings of a religious group that are generally accepted by that group. church doctrine, creed, gospel.

Jesus came with grace. You easily make a false gospel doctrine when you preach that Paul nullified Jesus' words that he spoke when he walked the earth.

Paul does not nullify Jesus or the twelve but has to be rightly divided and placed in the dispensational context in which God was dealing with Israel and Gentiles.

Paul preaches the exact same gospel as Jesus and the apostles.

Exact one and same, to go through Jesus now to get to the Father.

Do what Jesus says to do to get to be reconciled to God.
