Since Satan first tempted man & sin resulted, man has abused & misused the authority of His Creator Rom 5:12; 3:23; 1Jhn 3:4 In trying to justify themselves, men have developed a series of human philosophies which serve to satisfy millions that their religious/moral actions are authorized by God, when in fact, God rejects them Col 2:8; Matt 7:21-23

IT WORKS -The end justifies the means HUMAN PHILOSOPHIES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS AUTHORITY IN RELIGION Psalms 119:124-131 IT WORKS -The end justifies the means Saul & the Amalekites: 1Sam 15 (command v 3); (Saul’s confidence v 13); (“it works” v 15); (Saul’s rationalization v 19-21); (God’s judgment v 22-23) Do you want to base your salvation on the same kind of logic king Saul used We cannot do evil that good may come! Rom 3:5-8 Such reasoning is condemned by God Rom 10:1-3

TRADITION - It has been practiced for so long HUMAN PHILOSOPHIES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS AUTHORITY IN RELIGION Psalms 119:124-131 TRADITION - It has been practiced for so long All traditions are not necessarily bad 2Thess 2:15 We are talking about man’s tradition versus God’s commands Mk 7:1-13 Here is what makes tradition wrong v 8-9 Require the tradition, yet reject God’s commands. When established tradition(s) contradict God’s word (v 10-12) Elevates man’s judgment above God’s law

SILENCE OF THE BIBLE - doesn’t say not to HUMAN PHILOSOPHIES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS AUTHORITY IN RELIGION Psalms 119:124-131 SILENCE OF THE BIBLE - doesn’t say not to Be content with what Christ has revealed 2Jhn 9 Men of Judah could not be OT priests Heb 7:12-14 God said what He wanted! - Num 3:10 Silence does not give consent

NUMBERS - Surely so many people can’t be wrong HUMAN PHILOSOPHIES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS AUTHORITY IN RELIGION Psalms 119:124-131 NUMBERS - Surely so many people can’t be wrong Jesus says the majority is wrong Matt 7:13-14 Human race (except for 8 people) Gen 6:5-6 Only 2 of millions enter promise land Num 14:28-30 It was the majority that crucified Jesus This logic bases salvation upon man, pure & simple

LITTLE THINGS - Those issues are not important HUMAN PHILOSOPHIES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS AUTHORITY IN RELIGION Psalms 119:124-131 LITTLE THINGS - Those issues are not important Did their good make up for their lie Acts 5:1-2, 3-4 Must live by all of God’s word -- If we sin, our good does not eliminate judgment Ezek 18:21-24 Uzzah 2Sam 6:6-7 kept the ark from falling...Touched it & died. Good didn’t outweigh the bad

KEEPING UP WITH JONES’S -They are doing it and so can we HUMAN PHILOSOPHIES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS AUTHORITY IN RELIGION Psalms 119:124-131 KEEPING UP WITH JONES’S -They are doing it and so can we Not content with God’s way 1Sam 8:4-7, 19-20 “Look at what the denominations are doing” Some have to be like them or perish (Such will perish) Churches can have reputations of greatness but really be dead because they go beyond gospel of Christ Rev 3:1-3

HUMAN PHILOSOPHIES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS AUTHORITY IN RELIGION Psalms 119:124-131 LOSING TOUCH WITH REALITY - I’d rather do it wrong than not do it at all Would this logic work in sports 2Tim 2:5 Another alternative: God’s work in God’s way 1Cor 15:58

HUMAN PHILOSOPHIES WHICH ARE ACCEPTED AS AUTHORITY IN RELIGION Psalms 119:124-131 All of these philosophies put more value on man’s own thoughts & desires than on what God says Jer 10:23; Prov 14:12 The NT is our authority, we must have NT authority for every belief, teaching & practice, or...give it up to be right with God
