A CLOSER LOOK AT “SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY” TODAY’S TOPIC A CLOSER LOOK AT “SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY”

Lesson Six: Understanding Authority God has all authority. Romans 3:4; Revelation 19:6 God delegated His authority to Christ. Matthew 28:18; Ephesians 1:20-23; Col. 3:17 Jesus delegated His authority to the apostles. John 20:21; 13:20; 17:6-8; 16:13-15

Lesson Six: Understanding Authority The apostles gave us the Bible. John 20:30-31; Eph. 3:3-4; I Cor. 14:37 God tells us that this is all there is. Jude 3; II Tim. 3:16-17; Rev. 22:18-19; II John 9-11 We must accept the Bible as God's only authority.

HOW DO WE ESTABLISH SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY? Lesson Six: Understanding Authority HOW DO WE ESTABLISH SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY? Gentiles Lord's Supper Support of Preachers 1. By Command Acts 10:48; James 2:11 Acts 15:7;10;20 I Cor. 11:25 I Cor. 9:14 2. By Example Phil. 4:9; I Cor. 4:16-17 Acts 15:8; 11:15-18 Acts 20:7 Phil. 4:15-16 3. By Implication Acts 8:38; Matt. 22:31-32 Acts 15:12 Acts 20:7 I Cor. 16:1-2

RESPECTING THE SILENCE OF GOD Lesson Six: Understanding Authority RESPECTING THE SILENCE OF GOD WHEN GOD SAYS NOTHING Hebrews 7:11-14 “What God Said” Priests From the Tribe of Levi This Includes: Any of the Descendants of Aaron The Silence of God Priests From The Tribes of: Reuben, Benjamin, Ephraim and Judah etc. COULD ONE BE A PRIEST FROM ANY OF THESE TRIBES?

Lesson Six: Understanding Authority GOD SAID IT – THAT SETTLES IT! WHAT GOD SAID. THIS SPECIFIED: GOD’S SILENCE: Eat The Lord's Supper (Matthew 26:26-29) Bread and Fruit of the Vine (Matthew 26:26-29) Hamburgers and Sodas ??? Baptism Essential (Acts 2:38) Immersion (Romans 6:3-4) Sprinkling ??? Pouring??? Music in Worship of the Church Singing (Eph. 5:19 ; Col. 3:16) Instrumental Music??? GOD SAID IT – THAT SETTLES IT!

Lesson Six: Understanding Authority Only Two Possible Sources From Heaven or Men? Matthew 21:25-26 Only Two Possible Sources From Heaven Mt. 21:23-27 1 John 4:4-6 Gal. 1:6-9 Col. 2:6-10 2 Thess. 2:15 From Men Mt. 15:1-9 1 Cor. 4:6 Gal. 1:10-17 Col. 2:8 2 Thess. 2:2-4 1 John 4:4-6 (NKJV) 4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 12/1/2018

THUS, In Our Study TODAY… Lesson Six: Understanding Authority THUS, In Our Study TODAY… We Have Learned: THE BIBLE IS THE ONLY AUTHORITY. GOD’S AUTHORITY HAS BEEN DELEGATED. WE ESTABLISH GOD’S AUTHORITY BY: DIRECT COMMAND APPROVED APOSTOLIC EXAMPLE BY IMPLICATION BY THE SILENCE OF GOD

Lesson Six: Understanding Authority “And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him; the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day” (John 12:47-48).
