Sound Doctrine... What does that mean?

NewLifeInChristJesus said:

I pointed to Jesus, our teacher and guide, "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Col 2:3), and who also lives in our hearts (Col 1:27). If any of our doctrines are from Him, then those doctrines are sound. If any of our doctrines are in error, then those doctrines are not from Him.

It is sound doctrine to say that He has the truth, He teaches us the truth, and we have the truth when we learn it from Him.

And as we walk with Him in the newness of life, He leads, guides, directs, corrects, and comforts us from the intimacy of our own hearts. He challenges our false beliefs and inspires us to grasp sound beliefs so that over time a larger body of sound doctrine forms and the instances of false doctrines we hold shrinks.

9 “Whom will he teach knowledge?​

And whom will he make to understand the message?​

Those just weaned from milk?​

Those just drawn from the breasts?​

10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept,​

Line upon line, line upon line,​

Here a little, there a little.”​

​

The New King James Version (Is 28:9–10). (1982). Thomas Nelson.​

I can see where you're coming from; and, I have encountered that view, though always lacking any mention of the Greek translation.

While I do appreciate your full scholarly response, I do not see the "free from pathogens/free from destructive things" connection.

Forgive my following, but it seems contrived. It sounds like a philosophized link between two unrelated words, one of them being a vague English word that's meaning is easily manipulated.

It is an interesting thought, but I don't I see that the Greek language has as many words with as many meanings as we see in our various English translations, or just in the English language, itself
