The development of differences “Ye search the scriptures, and these are they which bear witness of me; and ye will not come to me, that ye may have life" (John 5:39-40, R.V.). "Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures … But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living". (Matthew 22:29)

The Holy Scriptures "From a child thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15). "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). "as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby" (1 Peter 2:1,2).

Many Churches Superficial reading Selective Reading Reading Isolated Texts Isolated Doctrines Wrong Emphasis Neglect of important teachings Unbalanced views

Does it Matter?

What About Tolerance? ‘Discuss and consider but never decide.’ ‘Some religions may be better than others -- but all religion is good.’ ‘Choose the one that suits you and brings out the best in you and does no harm to others.’

God’s Terms "Without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6).

The Basis for God’s Acceptance

Faith "He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:20-25).

A Matter of Life and Death "And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his tenser, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified" (Leviticus 10:1-3).

Conclusion There are many Churches The Bible should be central to belief The Bible should be taken as a whole What we believe matters We come to God, on God’s terms The Church we choose is a matter of Life and Death
