Look at all the different Christian denominations and how the doctrine changes between one and the next and you'll have an example of changing doctrine based on the underlying scripture.

Some of this changes over time as well. The Southern Baptists once had doctrine justifying truly evil things like slavery and Jim Crow which for the most part has fallen out of favor.
