Doctrinal Triage Is Practicing Doubting

 Doctrinal triaging or prioritizing, is man sitting in judgment over the very Word of God, judging certain doctrines in Scripture to be “essential” or “non-essential”. It is actually practicing doubting (at best) and therefore not practicing its commands (Gen. 3:1-4; James 1:4-8; 3:13-18; 4:8-12).

Ignoring or downplaying sound doctrine is ignoring and downplaying the Shepherd’s voice and listening to a stranger's instead (John 10:4-5, 14). It leads one into every wind of doctrine by the trickery of deceitful and unprincipled men (starting with triaging doctrines) (John 10:10-13; Eph. 4). Sound doctrine is knowable.

All biblical doctrines are never a matter of opinion (2 Peter 1:20-21; Rom. 14), but are a matter of absolute Truth and must be believed, even if not totally understood (we grow in our understanding and therefore grow in our obedience through His power).

Ignorance of Truth is never a virtue and is always a vice, since His Word sanctifies us (John 17:17; Heb. 5:11-6:1).

All Scripture includes all its doctrines, from the Trinity, a literal seven day Creation Week, the Flood, soteriology, ecclesiology (leadership, content, practice), holy living, the covenants and Israel, the rapture, the return of Christ, His millennial kingdom reign, the destruction of all unbelievers along with Satan, the Lawless One and his minions, all the way to the destruction of this world and the heavens and the creation of a new heavens and new earth. These are not up for an "in house" debate or "agree to disagree".

1Th 2:13 And for this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received from us the word of God's message, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

2Pe 1:20 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

Joh 17:17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth.
