Dear Friends, One word that is a thread that runs through this week's Lesson is "grace." Another thread that runs through the lesson is "teach" or "taught" (used about 7 times). And "love" is used over and over and over.
The word "doctrine" in English means: a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church political party or group. In Late Middle English, which is the word's origin, it meant: teaching, learning from a doctor or teacher. (Latin: doctrina and docere - to teach)
In the 1828 Webster's Dictionary it means: whatever is taught; a principle or position in any science; whatever is laid down as true by an instructor or master; the act of teaching; learning; knowledge; the truths of the gospel; instruction and confirmation in the truths of the gospel.
Atonement in the 1828 Webster's means agreement; concord; reconciliation; reparation made by giving an equivalent for an injury, or by doing or suffering that which is received in satisfaction for an offense or injury; in theology, the expiation of sin made by obedience and personal sufferings of Christ. (the act of atoning for sin or wrongdoing, compensation for wrong).
