This overall page was updated 9-5-2011  It does not yet reflect all of the doctrines which have been covered in 2Samuel, which study I am in the middle of (however, these doctrines are updated in Old Testament Topics under the heading 2Samuel (all minor discussions of topics are named on that page as well).  This will reflect my most recent studies up to 2Samuel 7 and 1Chronicles 17, as well as from selected Psalms pertinent to Samuel and Chronicles.

An Alphabetical list will follow the recent uploads

After the alphabetical list will be the doctrines as they are found in the various books of the Bible.

There are additional sets of doctrines which the List (HTML)  (PDF)  links to.

  • Abraham's Spiritual life in 2000 B.C.  (HTML)  (PDF).  Uploaded 1/4/2012.  God mandates that Abraham (Abram until Gen. 17:5) walk before Him and to be complete (or, spiritually mature).  Therefore, in Abraham’s time, there must be the modus operandi of the spiritual life laid out so that Abraham could obey this command.  Determining what the spiritual life is for Abraham is the focus of this study.   Furthermore, understanding Abraham’s spiritual life helps us to better understand and appreciate our own spiritual lives.
  • Various Doctrines on War and the Military (HTML) (PDF)  Uploaded 12/21/2011.  These are doctrines which have been culled from various chapters of Samuel and Chronicles; and this document includes such doctrines as Genocides and Political Killings of the 20th Century; What is a Righteous War?; Why all of this War and Tactics in the Bible?; The Attitude of the Word of God toward the Military; What About the Believer and Wars His Country Engages in?; and many others.
  • Doctrines of the Military in Israel's History (HTML)  (PDF)  Uploaded 12/21/2011.  These are doctrines which are related to specific campaigns, strategies or history found in the Word of God.  The doctrines found in this document include A Summary of Saul's Military Victories; Why Do the Philistines Constantly War Against Israel?; Israel and Her Enemies: a Divine Perspective; Why Not a More Measured Response to Ammon?" Military Ethics, David and Joab; and many others.  These doctrines were also culled from various chapters of Samuel and Chronicles.
  • The Doctrine of The Geographical Will of God  (HTML)  (PDF).  Uploaded 11/28/2011  God no longer speaks to us by dreams, or Urim and Thummim, or in Person; so how are we to determine which way we should go; which city we should live in, which job we should take?  This is covered in this doctrine; and this doctrine was taken from the Basic Exegesis of the Bible, Lesson #160.
  • Why God Did Not Perfectly and Supernaturally Preserve the Bible  (HTML)  (PDF)  posted 11/28/2011.   God is capable of preserving every single letter in the Bible, supernaturally, if you will, throughout all of human history.  However, in nearly every chapter, there are minor errors; a difference of spelling; transposed letters, which change the meaning of a verb; text which has been dropped out.  Why did God allow this with His Word?  This is taken from the 2Samuel 13 (HTML)  (PDF) exegesis, where there are several problems with the Masoretic text.  2Samuel 13 is a work in progress.
  • The Doctrine of Slavery posted 11/22/2011  (HTML)  (PDF).  This is actually a collection of 3 doctrines which are taken from the Basic Exegesis Series: The Biblical Doctrine of Slavery, Lessons from the Doctrine of Slavery, and Slavery in the United States.  This study takes a rational, unemotional view of slavery, slavery in the United States, reparations and other related topics; and helps the believer to understand not simply the historical context for slavery in the Bible, but to be able to apply this thinking to current social problems and injustices, as well as our involvement as Christians in social problems and inequity.
  • Women of the Old Testament  revised and uploaded 11/15/2011  (HTML)  (PDF) For whatever reason, this continues to be the 2nd most accessed document on this site.  This document has since been expanded to include more women, a chart of David and Jacob's families, one minor error was corrected, and the names have now been hyperlinked, as many of these women interacted with one another in a number of ways.
  • The Angel of Jehovah   uploaded 10/17/2011  (HTML)   (PDF) Finishing touches were put on this doctrine.
  • Lucky Guesses found in Genesis  and What is Incontrovertible about the History of the Bible added 10/13/2011  (HTML)  (PDF)   There are a number of amazing things found in the first 15 chapters of Genesis; things which are difficult to explain, apart from Genesis being a part of the written Word of God.  There are matters of science, history and theology which Genesis speaks of, in some cases, 1000's of years before these things should have been known.  For instance; God spends an entire day making the atmosphere for the earth.  This is indeed extremely important to our well-being; but how come ancient man recognized this?  How did some old Bible guy come to the idea that, all around him is an atmosphere, and that God needed to create it?   This is one of 20 lucky guesses found in the first 15 chapters of Genesis.  As a companion piece, I have a number of points on what is incontrovertible about the history of the Bible.  I have heard a lot of goofy things in my life, such as, this or that group made wholesale changes to the Bible.  This list ought to help dispel such myths.  File this study under apologetics; so that you can give a reason for the faith which is within you.
  • The Dual Authorship of the Scriptures added 10/8/2011  (HTML)  (PDF).  This doctrine was taken out of Psalm 51.  All of the related doctrines and text from Psalm 51 was gathered together in order to form this doctrine.  The idea is, because there are two authors of Holy Writ, man and God the Holy Spirit, it would therefore follow that, now and again, the man thinks one thing and writes it down; but God the Holy Spirit, the co-Author, uses those exact same words to express an often related but different concept.  This, in many ways, will revolutionize the interpretation of Old Testament Scripture, particularly the psalms and the prophetic passages.
  • A Retrospective of Genesis 14 posted September 21, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF).  Gen. 14 is one of the most amazing chapters of the Bible, which is so filled with information that I spent 17 lessons on this chapter in the Basic Exegesis Series (HTML)  (PDF).   Prior to this study, I had no idea how much information was in this chapter.  In fact, prior to this study, I actually wondered why God the Holy Spirit included it in the Word of God.  This is possibly mankind's first world war; it speaks of the 4th and 5th stages of national discipline, imperialism, the importance of Bible doctrine in the soul of one man, and Melchizedek, one of the most important figures of the Old Testament; as well as the concept of strategy and tactics in war (which is found much more often in the Bible than you might think).  There is also blessing by association, cursing by association, the concept of the priesthood and typology, all buried in a chapter that most people read in 5 minutes.
  • Genesis 15:6 in the New Testament posted September 21, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF).  In many ways, this verse is the foundation of our faith; that we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ.  This study examines the way this verse is quoted in the New Testament and the different points which are made.  It is a good illustration to see the variety of ways that New Testament authors used the Old Testament in their writings.
  • The Way of God posted September 5, 2011  (HTML)  (PDF)  This is an expanded version of the shorter doctrine found in the exegesis of Psalm 51 (which has not been completed yet).  The phrase the way of God, along with several similar phrases, is ubiquitous in the Old Testament and found a number of times in the Gospels and Acts.  It is an important phrase, and almost completely ignored in theological writings, much like the fundamental phrase in Christ.  Just as there are many facets to the phrase in Christ, so there are many topics associated with the way.
  • The Doctrine Available to King David posted September 5, 2011   (HTML)  (PDF)   This doctrine is taken directly out of the exegesis Psalm 51 (which is not yet posted).  When I first began studying under R. B. Thieme, Jr., I admit I was skeptical of his emphasis upon the Word of God and Bible teaching.  Since I had been in a half dozen churches, all which had a different emphases, I wondered if this approach was just another gimmick.  Obviously, I have had a change of heart since those days.  The Bible methodically records a number of sources of doctrine which were available to King David; and, in many cases, these were sources available to the general population of Israel.  This doctrine will help you recognize that knowledge of doctrine is fundamental to the plan of God.
  • The Trinity in the Old Testament posted August 29, 2011  (HTML)   (PDF).  The word Trinity is not found anywhere in the Bible, but it soon became clear that God is 1 in essence and 3 in personality.  Everything in the New Testament documents pointed to this, so Christians very early on believed in the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  However, what is quite amazing is, the Trinity is also found in the Old Testament, which Old Testament religious Jews take as their Scripture.  And yet, they do not and never have believed in a Triune God.  However, if we take the concept of the Trinity, and look through the OT, it becomes clear that the OT teaches the Trinity as much as does the New.  In fact, I would argue, there are more passages which support a Triune God in the OT than in the New.  This is one of the many doctrines which will help you to increase your faith.  How can the Jews view miss the Trinity in the OT and how is it possible for this to be so clearly taught from a perspective of thousands of years later?  It is this sort of doctrine which increases your faith in the Word of God; and helps you to realize that the Bible is not just a collection of writings fo religious men, but the Living, Breathing Word of God.
  • The Ministry of God the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament  posted August 21, 2011  (HTML)  (PDF)   Because God administers His household in a number of ways throughout human history (known to us as the Doctrine of Dispensations), there are differences from one dispensation to the next.  The Holy Spirit had a slightly different ministry in the Old Testament as compared to the New.  This is a fairly short doctrine (2-3 pages) on the Holy Spirit's specific ministry in the Old Testament.
  • Abortion--Logic and the Bible  posted August 11, 2011  (HTML)  (PDF)   What I rarely find is a combination of logic and the Bible used to make sense of the abortion issue.  By far, the majority of Christians groups are against abortion, although some of their uses of Scripture are suspect.  On the other side of the issue is R. B. Thieme, Jr., who teaches that abortion is an issue for the woman and her doctor.  Siding with him is almost the entirety of the liberal political movement, even those who claim not to believe in God.  However, as you will see, one can make an argument in favor of abortion on religious or philosophical grounds, but not upon biological grounds.  So the left, which often rejects religion in favor of science, must abandon science entirely to take the position which they have taken.  In any case, I hope to approach this subject using Bible doctrine, logic and a little biology.
  • The Doctrine of Imputations  posted August 5, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF)  We are saved because of a series of imputations.  Adam's original sin is imputed to us at birth, our sins are imputed to Jesus Christ on the cross, and, in justification, His righteousness is imputed to us when we believe in Him.  These things are covered in great detail in this doctrine.  This is an extremely important doctrine, as the word for imputeis found 126 times in the Old Testament and 42 times in the New.  This is a part of the exegesis of Psalm 51, which is what I am working on right now.
  • The Doctrine of Tithing and Modern Applications of Tithing to Taxation.  August 3, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF)   I have seen the doctrine of tithing taught on several occasions, and there are a couple of details which are gotten wrong.  Also, since the concept of tithing and taxation are in the Scripture, this ought to give us a clue as to what is ideal application of these concepts today.
  • Progressive Revelation posted August 3, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF).  The concept of progressive revelation is, each additional truth builds upon, expands, and better explains that which was already taught.  New revelation does not supercede, replace or nullify previous revelation, but it builds upon that which is past.
  • The Seeds of Genesis--the Great Theological Truths begun in the first 14 Chapters of Genesis.  posted August 3, 2011.  (HTML)  (PDF)   Genesis is one of the most amazing books in the Bible.  It contains the seeds for many doctrines which are revealed in greater detail throughout the rest of the Bible.  This doctrine lists about a dozen major doctrines, all of which come into view, in seed form, in the first 14 chapters of Genesis.
  • The Priesthoods in the Bible posted July 12, 2011.  (HTML)   (PDF). There are quite a number of different priesthoods found in the Bible.  They all speak of man representing himself (or others) to God, and those in the Old Testament look forward to Jesus Christ.  This is a fairly short overview which gives you a quick an easy grasp of the various priesthoods found throughout Scripture.  This, and the two doctrines which follow, come out of the Basic Exgesis Series, which is presently in Gen. 14.  (HTML)  (PDF).
  • The Doctrine of Redemption posted July 12, 2011.  (HTML)   (PDF).  As early as Genesis 14, God is called the Redeemer of Heaven and Earth.  This doctrine examines what it means for God to be called Redeemer, and how this is one cohesive whole throughout the Bible.
  • The Illustration of the Slave Market of Sin posted July 12, 2011.  (HTML)   (PDF).  Closely related to the Doctrine of Redemption is the illustration, used by Jesus, of the Slave Market of Sin.   This particular doctrine is actually illustrated by Moses taking the Children of Israel out of Egypt.  This is an amazing study, which is further proof of the cohesiveness of the entire Bible.  This is alluded to in Genesis 14, illustrated in Exodus, spoken of by Jesus to explain why the religious types would not be saved by their being Jews or by attempting to keep the law, and then explained in greater detail by Paul in some of his doctrinal dissertations.
  • The Importance of Bible Doctrine  posted May 13, 2011   (HTML)   (PDF).  Our Lord Jesus Christ, in His humanity, grew in grace and wisdom (which is the knowledge and application of Bible doctrine).  On many occasions, He told His listeners that they erred because they did not know the Scriptures.  Bible doctrine is the very spiritual food that we require in order to grow spiritually.  Apart from the knowledge of the Word of God, you do not grow in the spiritual life, no matter how many good works you do.  Knowing the Word of God is the key to knowing the will of God.  This was taken from the basic exegesis series (which is a series of short lessons, which began with the book of Genesis).  See also Genesis Lessons 1-100  (HTML)   (PDF) and Genesis Lessons 101-130   (HTML)   (PDF). This came from lsson #125 and is slightly updated.
  • How to be Filled with the Holy Spirit (also known as the Doctrine of Rebound)  posted May 13, 2011   (HTML)  (PDF).  Slightly revised.
  • Jesus is not a Liberal   posted 4/11/2011   (HTML)  (PDF)  Some  time ago, I had a discussion with someone on the internet on whether or not Jesus was a liberal, and posted this here.  This is a much more careful study, taking each one of their reasons, each of the Biblical passages which they distort, and show that Jesus is not a liberal nor is He a socialist (nor is He the first counter-culture revolutionary, in the contemporary sense).   This is a very lengthy study (it is over 100 pages), wherein, nearly everything related to this topic is discussed.  First of all, there is the basic dishonesty of liberalism; the conflation of wealth and greed; the idea that, it just depends upon how you interpret the Bible, followed by the Bible and socialism.  The meat of this doctrine is examining the myriad of liberal causes which Jesus is said to have espoused: peacemaking rather than war making; being anti-war and anti-military, being for nonviolence; how Jesus was supposedly against the strict adherence to religious law, etc.  Social justice, corporate greed and individual wealth are all examined, along with nearly every passage touted by liberals (along with the many passages which they ignore).  There are many short doctrines covered in here, including Why the Government Does a Lousy Job; The Bible, Capitalism and Private Property; Morality and Capitalism; Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler (liberals absolutely love this narrative); and God and the Welfare State.  Finally, there is an extensive addendum, which you ought to find as interesting as the rest of this examination, where we learn a little from General George Patton, President Thomas Jefferson and columnist George Will.  If you ever had any doubts about this subject, it is covered here in the greatest detail.
  • The Importance of Bible Doctrine posted 3/30/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  There is nothing more important to the individual believer than the Word of God.  The most valuable coin of the realm in the spiritual life is Bible doctrine.  This is a relatively short doctrine which gives you the Biblical perspective on this matter.
  • Figures of Speech in the Bible posted 3/30/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  Mot fundamentalist Christians take the Bible literally.  After all, it is a literal history of God's people and an exact description of our spiritual lives as believers in Jesus Christ.  However, that does not mean that each and every word, and that each and every phrase must be taken literally.  The Bible was written by men as carried along by the Holy Spirit, which did not change their personalities or style of writing.  Writers use all kinds of figures of speech, idioms and hidden grammatical structure.  This doctrine gives clear examples of such things in such a way that, you will understand how we can both take the Bible literally, and yet, be open to the use of figurative language.
  • The Doctrine of Separation posted 3/30/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  Christians have distorted many doctrines from the Bible, and the concept of separation is one of them.  In this doctrine, you will see the correct and incorrect reasons to separate from others.  This doctrine borrows heavily from the work of Robby Dean, who grew spiritually under the ministry of RBTII.
  • Logistical Grace posted 3/30/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  Logistics is a military word which refers to the military science of supply, provision, and planning of troop movement. From this military nomenclature comes a Bible Doctrine based on analogy (many words in the Bible—including the New Testament—are military terms appropriated for a spiritual usage).  Logistics always plays a very important and dramatic part in warfare, but logistics plays an even greater part in your life as a believer. Every believer is alive today because of logistical grace.  I have borrowed heavily from the work of R. B. Thieme, Jr. on this doctrine; and there will be several additional references at the very end.
  • The Spiritual Life in the Church Age posted 3/30/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  At salvation (when we believe in Jesus Christ), we begin a unique spiritual life, which has some similarities to saints from the Old Testament, but is well-defined for all believers in the Church Age.  God's plan for us in the Church Age is to grow spiritually which will result in an eternal impact.
  • Antisemitism posted 3/30/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  It ought to strike you as strange that, although the little nation Israel takes up about 0.2% of the Middle East and nearly none of its natural resources (only recently was natural gas discovered in Israel), this seems to be the focal point of so much hatred of so many Arabs and Muslims.  Various Middle East leaders have called for the destruction of Israel.  Some simultaneously deny the holocaust and celebrate it as some sort of righteous discipline from God.  Even in the United States, there are several pockets of people who are quite upset about the Jews.  This short doctrine will help to explain why.
  • Three Dispensations: The Age of Israel, the Age of the Hypostatic Union and the Church Age posted 3/30/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)   The 3 dispensations about which most people are confused are the Age of Israel, the Age of the Hypostatic Union and the Church Age.  Herein is a basic overview with distinguishing characteristics and a summarization table.
  • Satan Did Not Know about the Cross  posted 3/7/2011   (HTML)  (PDF)   For some time, I have been ruminating about this possibility, that Satan was not aware that it was Jesus' plan to go to the cross, and, therefore, set into motion the events which took our Lord to the cross, which was the great tactical victory of the Angelic Conflict as well as the basis for our salvation.  To me, it is illogical that Satan would knowingly lead Jesus to the cross, if he realized that the cross was the beginning of the end for him.  Let me add that, this is one of the few doctrines which is different from what is taught in most churches, and, therefore, take it with a grain of salt.
  • Private Property, Wealth and the Bible    posted 3/3/2011   (HTML)   (PDF) 

    In society, there are constantly attempts to distort the truth in the Bible.  In this society, it has become even more easy to do so, because most Christians lack a good foundation in Biblical teaching.  They can be led by the nose to a half-dozen passages, and easily led astray in this manner.  One of these distortions is that, there is something inherently wrong about wealth, or anti-spiritual about possessing wealth.  There is the mistaken impression that, it is the right thing to do for a believer to give his wealth away; or that the state ought to be involve in the equalization of wealth.  The key to the spiritual life is what is in the soul, not what is in one’s bank account.  More importantly, greed is not necessarily a sin of the rich, but more often, a sin of the poor.
  • Updated: 2Samuel 11  posted 2/16/2011  (HTML)   (PDF)  While working in 2Sam. 12, I began to develop a doctrine which deals with degeneracy sins, or addictive behavior.  Although I will keep that doctrine in 2Sam. 12, it is apropos to 2Sam. 11 as well, so doctrine has been added to 2Sam. 11.  Degeneracy sins include skirt-chasing, homosexuality, and/or other sexual sins, alcoholism and drug abuse.  All of these sins have negative affects on our souls and dig ruts into our lives.  Such sins can be almost all-consuming.
  • Blessing by Association posted 2/9/2011  (HTML)  (PDF).  Once a believer begins to mature spiritually, God begins to pour out more blessings upon that believer (called "more grace" or "greater grace").  These blessings overflow to those who are around you.  This doctrine explains and documents the concept of blessing by association.
  • Liberalism, Conservatism and Christianity, posted 12/14/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)  After posting a link to "God and the Poor; Is God Really a Liberal?" on facebook, my cousin suggested that God was above this liberal and conservative debate, which inspired me to take a look at 40 different contemporary issues and compare them to what the Bible tells us about these issues (Abortion, Anti-Semitism, Atheism, Change, Conservation and Nature, Education, Eminent Domain, Environmentalism, Evolution, Gay Rights, Homosexuality, Global Warming, Government Regulations, Guantanamo Bay Prison for Enemy Combatants, Homelessness, Income Inequity, Income Redistribution, Inheritance Tax, Islam, Islam and Child Sacrifice, Land Ownership—National, Land Ownership—Personal, Marriage, The Military, Missionary Activity, Morality, National Threats, Nationalism versus Internationalism, Nuclear Disarmament, Patriotism, Political Activism, Poverty, Racial Issues, Reparations, Revolution, Separation of Church and State, Socialism, Taxation, Taxing the Rich, War, The Work Ethic).  There are 20+ pages on these issues, giving the general liberal position, the general conservative position, and then what the Bible says.  There is a 25 page addendum where some of these issues are explored in more depth, as the format--side by side columns--does not lend itself to an in depth approach to each topic.  Everything is hyperlinked, so it is easy to go to whatever contemporary issue interests you.
  • God and the Poor; Is God Really a Liberal?  12/7/2010  (HTML)   (PDF)   A week or so ago, I was listening to Michael Medved, and a caller started ranting about the 300 verses in the Bible about how bad the rich are.  It was quite obvious that this person did not have any idea what he was talking about, but that his information came from a website posting.  That certainly interested me, as this person was indicating that the United States did not do enough for the poor, that the rich had too much money, and that a little social justice needed to be applied.  After a quick search on the internet, I found the posting about 300 verses about the poor (the rich are mentioned in this essay).  The essay was written by 3 people back in 1989, and posted on a website where one of the authors writes some far left-of-center political diatribes, and also shares with us his favorite games, literature, comics and his trip to Brazil.  Although his article castigates Christians for not being charitable enough, a precursory glace through his website and writings indicates that he personally has very little interest in the Bible or, for that matter, in the poor; except to use these issues to manipulate others to agree with his progressive causes (the welfare state, bigger government, more taxes, and probably a European-style socialism or more).  I go through this paper line-by-line, along with the 150 or so verses which he quotes (many of them wildly out of context), and explain Who God really is and what His relationship to the poor really is.
  • Just added and updated: Was Jesus a Liberal?  12/3/2010   (HTML)   (PDF).  Throughout the yeras, there have been many attacks upon the Bible and upon Jesus.  One of the more contemporary attacks is, Jesus is a Liberal.  This fits into Liberation Theology, which is simply a way of taking believers who know little or nothing about the Bible, and to convince them that the Bible is in favor of a welfare state or of Socialism or Communism.  For the unlearned, this slant of the Bible can be quite convincing, and there were many inroads made by communism in South America by using this approach.  The believers and unbelievers who are sucked into this false doctrine are the "useful idiots" which communism loves to use.
  • Just added:/updated Jehovah's Witnesses and the Deity of Jesus Christ  11/29/2010   (HTML)   (PDF).   A long time ago, when I was more argumentative, I invited Jehovah's Witnesses into my house, figuring, if I can show them that Jesus is God, they will straighten out and leave their cult.  So, I focused on one area, John 1:1-3, which they distort by calling Jesus "a god."  So, I showed them in their own Bible, how they were inconsistent in their interpretation.  Later, they came back with reinforcements and, after I argued with them for 30 minutes, they came back again with more reinforcements.  This is a short, 3-page doctrine dealing with this very specific point.
  • Just added: The Doctrine of Regeneration 11/18/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)  In the lessons in Genesis, I am presently working on circumcision and how it is designed to illustrate regeneration.  However, it would be logical to study regeneration first.
  • Just added: The Doctrine of Faith Rest posted 11/10/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)  Improved and expanded; taken from the study of Genesis.
  • Just added: The Doctrine of the Will of God  posted 11/8/2010   (HTML)   (PDF)   Knowing the will of God for you life is not what is difficult; it is obeying the will of God.  People get weird about this concept.  They pray and pray and pray until they feel something; and then that is what they do.  For most, that is doing exactly what they wanted to do in the first place; for a few others, it is doing exactly the opposite of what they wanted to do.  However, the keys to knowing the will of God are (1) being in fellowship and (2) having the Word of God in your soul (which are the 2 keys to the entire Christian life).
  • Just added: The Laws of Divine Establishment posted 9/16/2010.   (HTML)   (PDF)  

Locating the doctrines you want to study:

  • Further down this page will be an alphabetical listing of all of the doctrines posted on this website.  There are in excess of 160 doctrines.  There are over 100 short doctrines included the new study of Genesis (Genesis 1), over 50 short doctrines in the introduction (General Introduction (PDF) ), and each chapter of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, Samuel, Chronicles and Psalms, contains about 20-30 short doctrines (the easiest way to get a listing of all those doctrines is to go to Old Testament Topics html).  Each of those books lists the doctrines found in that chapter at the beginning of each chapter.

  • A second approach is to use the google search engine, which will search all documents for the doctrines you want: Search this Website

  • Thirdly, in the books which are exegeted on this site, I have gone through them and have listed essentially every doctrine and subject discussed in any depth.  This will give you an idea what is covered in the exegetical study of each chapter and each book, and you may find a couple of topics which simply interest you.   Old Testament Topics html file (these are the topics which I have covered already in the exegesis that I have done; not all files are uploaded yet); however, many of the topics which we find listed here are a part of the exegetical study of the books I have examined.  There are now some hyperlinks to take you to the proper documents; however, in any case, this will tell you the book, chapter, and verse where you would go to see more on the topic listed.  By the way, there are nearly 100 pages in this document and line after line is simply another topic covered in the exegetical study of this or that book.  You may want to use the search function in your browser.  Updated 3-5-10 (there are still some psalms and chapters of books which I have not included yet).  This includes all of the topics covered in 2Samuel 10, which has just been completed. 
  • Old Testament Topics pdf file (these are the topics which I have covered already in the exegesis that I have done; not all files are uploaded yet).  This is probably too large to view from the internet and you may need to download it and open it up in Acrobat reader in order to read this listing of topics. 


The topics which I covered in the book of Samuel are going to be covered in much greater detail than the topics which I covered in the Pentateuch books.

My most recent studies, including doctrines and exegesis, is located here.

Links to other Doctrines on the internet.  Let me also refer you to The List, which is a huge set of links to all the doctrinal churches I am aware of, as well as other doctrinal resources on the web.
