Doctrine, Doctrinal (doctrina, doctrinale). [See also APPEARANCE and WORD.] History of Doctrine. There were doctrinals of the Ancient Church; whence, 608, 609, 920:4. There is a doctrinal of charity and a doctrinal of faith, and the doctrinal of charity was in the Ancient Church, which today is among the things that are lost, 2417:8. The Ancient Church had doctrinals of charity; concerning which, 4955. These are at this day lost, and why, 4955. The doctrinals of the Ancient Churches were altogether other than those of today: namely, besides representatives and significatives, they had the doctrinals of love to the Lord and charity to the neighbour, 3419:2. Those doctrines have been obliterated at this time by the present Babylonians and Philistines, 3419:3, 3420. The Ancient Churches had the doctrinals of charity which led to life; and how much these prevailed over the doctrinals of faith, 4844:3. Their cognitions and scientifics were, to know what the rituals of the Church represented, and further what the rest signified, 4844:3. Scientifics in the Ancient Church served their doctrinals, 4964, 4966. See SCIENCE. The Philistines rejected the doctrinal of charity, thus they obliterated interior truths, 3412:2, 3413.
The Nature of Doctrine. All doctrine is of truth, 7053. Truths are not cognitions, but in cognitions, 3391. In all doctrinals which are from the literal sense of the Word, there are interior truths, 3464. What is meant by saying that doctrinals are from scientifics, 3052e. The doctrinals of scientifics are those which are from the literal sense of the Word, 5945. The special things of doctrine are confirmations, additions, and explanations, 4720:3. Doctrine from the Word should be a lamp, and the internal sense of the Word teaches it, 10400:3. What the doctrinal of good, of the good of truth, and of truth, or of charity and faith, are, 2567:10.
Doctrine and the Word. The Word is written according to the doctrines of the Ancient Churches: shown, 3419:3. Doctrine should be wholly from the Word, so that the Word may be understood, 9409, 10582. Doctrine ought to be drawn from the Word by those who are in enlightenment from the Lord, 9424. Doctrine from the Word is to be fashioned by those who are in enlightenment by the Lord, so that the Word may be understood; and who are in enlightenment, 10105:2. Doctrine is not perceived unless it is expounded rationally and sensually, 2553. By means of doctrine made by one enlightened the Word is apprehended, 10324. The sense of the letter of the Word apart from doctrine therefrom, leads into errors: illustrated, 10431. The external sense of the Word, apart from genuine doctrine from the Word, is obscure, like a cloud, 9430. With those who are in the sense of the letter, apart from doctrine, truth is not in any power: illustrated, 9410:4. The distinction between those who teach and learn from the Word, and those who denotes so from doctrine from the Word; that the latter understand interior things, the former only exterior, 9025:2. They who are in externals, apart from an internal, and the merely sensual, read the Word without doctrine, and believe only the sense of the letter, and draw therefrom falsity, from material, earthly, and corporeal ideas, 10582:3. The Word is upheld by genuine doctrine, 9424. The Word ought to be searched to know whether doctrinals are true, 6047:2. See FAITH. They who are in the affection of truth do not remain in doctrinals, but search the Word to see whether they are true, 5432:5. Truths of the Church are acquired by means of doctrinals and by means of the Word; when by doctrinals alone they are scientifics, then one believes those who have demonstrated them; but if by the Word, then one can acquire truths to himself from the Divine, 5402:2. They who read the Word from heavenly love are enlightened, and make to themselves doctrine therefrom; but they who denotes so from infernal love are not enlightened: illustrated, 9382:2. They who are in the external sense of the Word, and not in the internal, are they who make no doctrine to themselves from the Word, 9409. Genuine doctrine from the Word is the internal sense, 9430. The Lord is Doctrine Itself, 2533e; because He is the Word, 2859. The Lord is the Word, or Divine Doctrine, in a threefold sense-supreme, internal, and literal, 3712.
Doctrine and the Church. Where the Church is there should be doctrine from the Word, and indeed the doctrine of life, which is the doctrine of charity and at the same time of faith, and not of faith alone, 10763, 10764. Although doctrinals are various, still there is one Church, if all have charity, 3451:2, 3452. The Church would be one, if all had charity, although they might vary as to doctrinals and worship, 809, 1285:3, 1316. What is doctrinal does not make the Church, but charity, 1798, 1799:2, 1834:3, 1844.
Doctrine, Faith, and Charity. Doctrinals are nothing unless men live according to them; an experience, 1515. They who look to doctrinals and not to life do not think of the life after death, and conversely, 2454e. What is meant by saying that, when men are in love and charity, they ought not to look to doctrinals: namely, not from doctrinals to charity and love, but from charity and love to doctrinals, 2417, [2454.] In what ignorance they are who are in no doctrinal of charity, 2435. The doctrine of charity, see CHARITY. The doctrine of faith is the doctrine of charity, 2571e. There is one doctrine: namely, charity towards the neighbour and love to the Lord, 3445. The doctrine of faith is invested with appearances from human things, 2719, 2726. The doctrinals of faith are appearances of Divine Truth, see APPEARANCES. The doctrine of faith is celestial-spiritual, not from the rational, 2510: shown from examples, 2516:3, 2519. The Lord thought from the Celestial-Spiritual, but taught according to the apprehension of the people, 2533:2. The spiritual separate the Divine from the rational, inasmuch as they wish that those things which belong to faith should be simply believed, without any intuition from the rational; concerning which subject, 3394:2. It is allowed to those who are in an affirmative state respecting Divine truths to enter into rational and scientific truths, but not to those who are in a negative state to enter into the doctrine of faith, 2568, 2588:2.
What is meant by saying that doctrinals are removed when man is first being reformed, 3057:4. He who arrives at spiritual good has no need of doctrinal [instruction], 5997. All things relate to generals, thus to doctrinals, 6146. By 'idols,' in the Word, are doctrines from the external sense of the Word, without internal: shown,9424:4.
