Jer 33:3 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'
More examples of how sound doctrines are inseparably married to each other; specifically the sound doctrine of Creation. In Jer. 33 it begins:
Jer 33:25 "Thus says the LORD, 'If My covenant for day and night stand not, and the fixed patterns of heaven and earth I have not established,
Jer 33:26 then I would reject the descendants of Jacob and David My servant, not taking from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.'"
The sound doctrine of Creation is inseparably bound to the doctrines of:
God's nature and memorial name
Omniscient,OmnipotenceEternality,Just,Wrathful,Righteous,Merciful,Faithful,Merciful,Forgiving,
and doctrines:
Soteriology,Christology,Eschatology,Bibliology
Soteriology,Christology,Eschatology,Bibliology
and covenants:
Abrahamic Covenant,David Covenant
Another passage that links the sound doctrine of Creation to other doctrine is found in the chapter before:
Jer 32:17 'Ah Lord GOD! Behold, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth by Thy great power and by Thine outstretched arm! Nothing is too difficult for Thee,
Jer 32:18 who showest lovingkindness to thousands, but repayest the iniquity of fathers into the bosom of their children after them, O great and mighty God. The LORD of hosts is His name;
Jer 32:19 great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds;
So you can see that the sound doctrine of Creation isn't a secondary issue but rather an essential one! The sound doctrine of Creation cannot be divorced from any other doctrine it is married to because God Himself has married them together & they all are bound to His nature & are His Word.
