As Christians, there are 4 terms which we often hear about, but we may not be too clear about their meanings:
The first is โ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฃ๐ง๐จ๐ฅ๐โ, which means โthat which is writtenโ. For Christians, the Scripture is synonymous to the Holy Bible โ the Word of God.
ย
The second is โ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฃ๐๐โ, which means โgood newsโ. When it is spelled with a capital โGโ, it refers to the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. When spelled with a small โgโ, it refers to the New Testament in its entirety.
ย
The third is โ๐ง๐๐๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ฌโ, which means the โstudy of Godโ. Theologians are those whose occupation is to study God.
ย
The fourth is โ๐๐ข๐๐ง๐ฅ๐๐ก๐โ, which is the ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ (cf. 2 Tim 3:16). This is the reason why there are different churches and denominations because our best understanding of the Bible may vary from each other. While we all agree in the absolute essentials of Scripture, we have different spiritual convictions, and different focus and different emphases on spiritual realities. ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ, ๐ผ๐๐ฟ "๐๐ก๐". Every churchโs doctrine is the foundation of its vision and mission โ it determines the way we (a) think about God, (b) worship Him, and (c) do church.
ย
After 31 years as a church, CHC has been in the season of clarifying our doctrine โ so that CHC is not driven by personality and religious trends, but by the eternal truths which we believe the Holy Spirit has illuminated to us from the Holy Scripture, and our best understanding of them.
