- Over the years the Church has developed many doctrines which are not
found in Scripture and if they are not found in Scripture then they must be categorized as
false. The 19th and 20th century saw an influx of emotional, psychological,
man-glorifying, and racial favoring doctrines which have no basis in Scripture. The church
has adopted these resulting in a departure from the Scriptures. Here are some doctrines
which have been seriously adulterated and all I ask is that you check them out against
Scripture and see if what you are being taught is true. The time is long past for us to
trust the clergy or seminaries. The Bible must be our guidebook in this last hour.
