He then exegesises John Gill's definition of strange doctrines, arguing that diverse Old Covenant rituals like washings and sacrifices are obsolete since Christ fulfilled them. The host asserts that God remains unchanged while ceremonial laws have ended, emphasizing that believers must focus on the uniform doctrine of Christ crucified rather than returning to Jerusalem or animal sacrifices for continuity between covenants.

One True Doctrine of Christ00:03:27
All right, listen, guys, I get it.
Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry because you're spending your cash and your lives on raising young children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
Praise God for you and that endeavor.
However, algorithms are a thing, shadow banning sadly is a thing.
And one major way that you can help to expand the reach and effectiveness of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five star review.
Also, perhaps even more effective than that, you can share our podcast with a friend.
We hope you'll take the time to do so.
Thank you so much.
God bless.
Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
You're listening to Daily Truth.
What about strange teachings or strange doctrines?
Gill says, And strange doctrines may design such as were never taught by God.
Nor are they agreeable to Christ, not to be found in the Word of God, and which are new and unheard of by the apostles and churches of Christ.
In a nutshell, what Gil is getting at and seeking to exegete verse 9 of our text is this The apostle is saying, Don't be led astray.
Don't veer to the left.
Don't veer to the right.
There is one true doctrine of Christ, and there is continuity from the Old Testament all the way to the New.
There is one gospel of God.
There is one law of God.
Don't be distracted.
Don't be hindered, encumbered by all these extracurricular activities.
There are diverse doctrines.
And I think what the apostle was likely getting at with diverse doctrines is saying within Judaism, there are all these different ceremonial rituals and rites and washings and purifications and sacrifice within the Old Covenant.
Namely, within the category of the ceremonial law of God, there is a multitude of diverse doctrines.
But you have come to believe in Christ and that Christ is the fulfillment of those ceremonial laws.
Not that God was one way and now he's another.
No, see verse 8, right before verse 9.
Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
God did not change, but these things have been fulfilled.
So you don't need to go back.
To Jerusalem.
You don't need to go back to the temple.
You don't need to go back to the priestly animal sacrificial system in Israel.
You don't have to go back to all the different hand washings, all the different purification rites, all the diverse, I think that's what the word diverse is getting at in our text in verse 9, all the multitude, all the many doctrines of Judaism.
But rather, you can stick to the main and the plain, the doctrine that is uniform, the doctrine that has continuity from the old.
Covenant to the new, the doctrine of Christ and Him crucified.
That's, I think, what the apostle is alluding to.
That's certainly what John Gill thinks the apostle is alluding to in using that descriptive term diverse.
Don't be distracted or led astray by diverse teachings.
Staying Focused Amidst Recession00:01:37
Can I be frank with you for just a second, right here at the end?
Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting this ministry, and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you.
I cannot thank you enough.
However, some of you, you just can't afford it.
In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
Let's be honest.
I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy.
Our nation and our totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID.
We have written checks that we simply cannot cash.
It doesn't matter if people change the definition of a recession.
We are living in a recession right now, regardless.
Some of you are struggling to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store.
You cannot support financially this ministry at this time, nor should you.
But you could still help us tremendously.
I am asking you, please, if you're willing to do so, take one minute of your time.
Leave us a five star review on your favorite podcast platform iTunes, Spotify, whatever that might be.
This is the way the system works.
We want to be innocent as doves, but shrewd as vipers.
We need to be strategic.
You leave us a five star review, and our podcast shows up for more people.
And the Word of God.
And courageous theology applied in practical ways to every realm of life gets out there.
