Standard of Authority In religion


Speak As The Oracles of God 
(Roger Campbell) (shared by Tasha on Jan. 10, 2020 in Kaohsiung)

  1. Point out “standards” in daily life
  2. Need for an objective standard in religion 
  3. Some unsafe standards:
    • Personal thoughts/opinion (Prov. 14:12)
    • Feelings (Acts 26:9-11)
    • Conscience (Acts 23:1)
    • Tradition (Mark 7:6-9)
    • The majority (Matt. 7:13-14; 1 Pet. 3:20)
  1. We need the truth (John 8:32, 7:17)
  2. Bible is sufficient (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
  3. Should we still follow the O.T.?
    • Law of Moses given only to Israel (Ex. 19:1, 2; 20:1-17; Deu. 5:1-4)
    • O.T. does not take effect now (Eph. 2:2-16; Col. 2:14; Heb. 10:9)
    • If you keep part, keep all (Gal. 5:2-3)
  1. Follow N.T. — the teaching of Christ (Matt. 17:5; 28:8-20)
    • Gospel = power of God (Rom. 1:16)
    • God calls via gospel (2 Thess. 2:13, 14) 
  1. What differences between  O.T. & N.T.? (Given examples.)
  2. Completely follow only the Bible (1 Pet. 4:11; 2 John 9)
  3. No right to change God’s message (Deut. 4:2; Gal. 1:6-8; Rev. 22:18, 19)
