NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (8)
For those who desire to be saved, what question is more important, than “How do we ascertain New Testament Authority?” Understanding, that the New Testament is “the teaching of Christ;” therefore, let us note the words of John the apostle of love: “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (7)
Yes, here we are once more, writing under the same heading! The question still remains, how do we ascertain New Testament Authority for what the church of our Lord is required to, and allowed to, do? Let me simply state, that the church today is required to do some things the first century church did …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (6)
One point before getting into this article. There is one text, that needs our attention. Here is the text: “If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord” (1 Cor. 14:37). Something does not have be …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (5)
By this time, you may be wondering, well, just how do we ascertain “New Testament Authority,” as there are no commandments? This is true even with the Lord’s Supper, which we will continue to use as an example. There are no commandments: 1) thou should take the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (4)
On what day is the Lord’s Supper to be taken, according to NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY? Of course, all who read this article will answer: “On the first day of the week.” Now where did you and others get your authority to answer in this manner? Is there a text that says, Christians are to partake …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (3)
“I propose that in the Lord’s Supper, that we use cornbread and buttermilk!” Yes, not many would agree to use these two items for the Lord’s Supper, but I ask why? If as Martin Luther proposed, that if the Bible does not forbid it, then, that is authority for it. No where in the New …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (2)
“If the New Testament does not forbid it, then, that is authority for it!” Have you ever heard this? Well, think about it for a while; no, really give some thought to it! More than likely you have never heard anyone ask this question. Sometimes it is not put forward in this strong a statement …

NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORITY (1)
Every generation questions those who have gone before them, and how they ascertained authority. In America, it started with those who were seeking the church they read about upon the pages of the New Testament; as there was much division in the denominational world; just as there is today! It needs to be clear in …

LOVE (5)
At times, our words deceive us! What is meant by this? Think about the word “love” under which we are writing. Have you ever heard, or said, “I love my dog?” Then, later you say, “I love God.” This has never seemed to be right to my feeble ears! How about your ears? Let us …
