Biblical definition: Doctrine is the Law given by the Father-instructions on how to live your life.
Deuteronomy 32:1-2
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers up the grass:
Proverbs 4:2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
Job 11:4 For thou has said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
Isaish 29:24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Matthew 7:28 And it cam to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Mark 4:2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine.
John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Where can we find teaching and instruction from the Father in the Bible?
It begins with Exodus through Deuteronomy and picks back up in Matthew with the same teachings, some have been elaborated on to give a deeper understanding of that teaching. Some have been removed from practice by Christ.
