The Sound of Doctrine

The Sound of Doctrine is a teaching outlet for Pastor Charlie Frederico of Grace Bible Church Bonners Ferry, ID.
The Scripture is the only valid test of orthodoxy.
"To hold up the faults of opinion in others, for the sake of contrasting, explaining, and enforcing the truth, is allowable to all; especially when they are published, and thus become a sort of common property, or at least challenge the notice of others; but to hold up a man’s…
I agree with George Peters here. The ubiquitous ignorance of the nature and scope of the kingdom of God is the source of so much error in the church. It is the complete idiocy regarding what the Scripture says so much about, and which Jesus Himself preached conclusively, that…
This paragraph is excellent regarding the supposed "novelty" of Premillennial teaching (i.e. Millenarianism), an accusation of novelty is from men of "pretensions" who "deride this early view [of Millenarianism]." "The doctrine herein advocated [Millenarianism], because of its…
We desperately need to return to this level of "Christian manhood." "What we want is solidity, and that, in theology, is alone attainable by having underneath as a foundation to build on the pure declarations of God. What God says is true, what man says may be true; and the…
"Truth itself, however, requires no such picking of flaws, no harshness of language, no personality of attack, no bigoted and selfish support. She loves to hide herself in meekness, humility, and love, while the graces of the spirit surround and accompany her. The rude grasp, the…
If we get the "first things" right (1 Corinthians 15:3), and yet get the foundational elements of the "first things" wrong, I suggest that we actually get the "first things" wrong, but still use the vocabulary of the "first things."
In Daniel 9:26, it says, "“Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing." The Messiah is prophesied of that He would come and, instead of inheriting His kingdom, He would be "cut off." That means that He would be killed. And, not only that, He would…
God's righteousness is given to the believer as a gift from God on the basis of the single act of Jesus Christ, who was qualified to be the Lamb of God before He was incarnate, and not because of His obedience to the Law of Moses. Just as "something" greater than the Temple,…
Figures of speech, symbols, and metaphors are all tools of legitimate, grammatical, language whether spoken or written. These things enhance the meaning of the author. They do not obscure it. To assume obscurity from the poetic metaphor is to impose a pagan assumption on the…
Covenant Theology is not a theology. It is a philosophy that has no basis in the text of Scripture. People erroneously call it a theology because it attempts to play with themes of theology in a religious scheme. However, the information of Scripture is simply not represented…
Covenant Theology cannot explain the mysteries of the kingdom. 10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 11 And Jesus answered and said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has…
