"I Will Declare Unto You My Doctrine"

Out of all the things contained in the holy scriptures, there is only one specific set of doctrine that the Lord defines as His own. Throughout the scriptures, this doctrine has been appropriately named the "Doctrine of Christ". The purpose of this blog is to identify the Doctrine of Christ, expound it, and advocate the liberal application of it. For an introduction, here is how Jesus Himself described His own doctrine in 3 Nephi 11:

 31 Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, I will declare unto you my doctrine.

 32 And this is my doctrine, and it is the doctrine which the Father hath given unto me; and I bear record of the Father, and the Father beareth record of me, and the Holy Ghost beareth record of the Father and me; and I bear record that the Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me.

 33 And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.

 34 And whoso believeth not in me, and is not baptized, shall be damned.

 35 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that this is my doctrine, and I bear record of it from the Father; and whoso believeth in me believeth in the Father also; and unto him will the Father bear record of me, for he will visit him with fire and with the Holy Ghost.

 36 And thus will the Father bear record of me, and the Holy Ghost will bear record unto him of the Father and me; for the Father, and I, and the Holy Ghost are one.

 37 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and become as a little child, and be baptized in my name, or ye can in nowise receive these things.

 38 And again I say unto you, ye must repent, and be baptized in my name, and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.

What if Jesus was telling the truth? What if He meant exactly what He said in the foregoing description of His doctrine? This is worth careful consideration because the Kingdom of God might be at stake, depending upon how you respond to these few verses of scripture. The amount of love you have for the Lord, and how much you believe Him, will determine how much heed you will give to these things. I pray that we will all come to know of the doctrine of Christ, and thus, come unto Him.
