  7. The Sum of God’s Word Principle Psalm 119:160 John 8:31,32 The SUM of thy Word is Truth Psalm 119:160

  8. The Sum of God’s Word Principle Psalm 119:160 John 8:31,32 The SUM of thy Word is Truth Psalm 119:160 1+2+3=6 7 is incorrect; it is Beyond the right sum 5 is incorrect; it falls Short of the right sum Many teachers are requiring more, or less, than God’s Word on salvation!!!

  9. Changing God’s Word… • It has always been wrong to change God’s Word • Devil in the Garden of Eden – Gen 3 • Deut 4:2 – not to add to or diminish from • Gal 1:6-9 – not to teach another gospel • Man, the “creature”, simply does not have the “authority” (right to act) to change what God has determined to be His will in any matter (religious or secular)!

  10. Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (NKJV) There is the absolute necessity of having authority from God in doing anything, whether religious or secular!

  11. Revelation 3:8 “ I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept my word, and have not denied my name.”(NKJV) The church at Philadelphia, at the time of the writing of the book of Revelation, was commended for having kept the word of God.

  12. New Testament Christianity… The way of life pleasing to God introduced after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ involving both individual and congregational responsibilities prescribed by God in Scripture. Way of life Pleasing to God New Covenant Individual Congregational Inspired Rules

  13. New Testament Christianity is NOT • Playing “church” • Attending the “church of your/my choice” • Picking & choosing parts of spirituality WE like • Being a “Sunday only” Christian • Being “holier-than-thou” in attitude of heart towards others • Denominationalism

  14. Denominational origins….

  15. Biblical Authority… Is it Essential? apostles guided into all truth speak as the oracles of God Scriptures are all we need by the authority of Jesus the truth, the Word of God rightly divide the word of truth vain worship=doctrines of men John 14:26;16:13 I Peter 4:11 2 Tim 3:16,17 Colossians 3:17 1 Thess 2:13 2 Tim 2:15 Matthew 15:9 Does man have the God-given authority to make any religious decisions apart from Scripture?

  16. The Peanut Butter Concept… Shopping for a church??? Preaching fits my lifestyle What will it cost me? Good “social programs” Beautiful building Pretty grounds Preach God’s truth regardless What does GOD want? Scriptural in teaching/practice Less regard to physical bldg Less regard to landscaping Does man have the God-given authority to pick and choose a church based on any authority other than Scripture?

  17. Authority… Why is divine authority needed? • Mt 21:23 – A fair question • Prov 14:12 – Man needs assistance • Jer 10:23 – Man cannot direct his steps • Jas 1:21 – God’s word saves souls • Psa 119:105 – We need divine illumination • 2 John 9 – respect the limits of God’s word includes respecting where God is silent Are we willing to really speak where the Bible speaks, and be silent where the Bible is silent?
