The Silence of Scripture

How do we find Bible authority for what the church does today?

Silence of Scripture “But, where does God say I can’t?”

Presentation transcript:

Part 2 "Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Appollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to go beyond the things which are written; that no one of you be puffed up for the one against the other.“ I Cor. 4:6 asv

Two Views About Authority Retain all that was not expressly contradicted by scripture. Abolish all that could not be proved by the scripture. Is Permissive Is Prohibitive

“law of silence” - - not found in the Bible Concept is Biblical “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God.” 1 Pet. 4:11 “If the Bible does not condemn it I can do it” - then there is no end to what people can do

Mark 16:15 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Go = General Command Many different ways to Go Go Preach the Gospel = Specific Command Can’t preach philosophy - politics - current events Gospel - 1 Cor. 15:1-4

1 Chronicles 13:6-10 David and men bringing Ark to Jerusalem Ox stumbled - Uzzah touched the ark He was struck dead

1 Chronicles 13:6-10 David was upset with God Did some research - 1 Chronicles 15:2 Only Levites could touch or carry the ark V only to use poles

1 Chronicles 13:6-10 David was upset with God Did some research - 1 Chronicles 15:2 Only Levites could touch or carry the ark V only to use poles “we did not seek him according to the rule.” ESV ~ Wrong Way ~ Wrong tribe Did God say not to do it this way ? They did not respect the Silence of God !

We must serve God in His appointed Way ! “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Mt.7:21

 He cannot be angry  He will not punish the wicked  He is not a God of vengeance Ignore the authority of God Want to do things their way… Feel it is not wrong Human wisdom vs. God’s authority

 If it is not in the Bible it is wrong  If not authorized in Bible we cannot do it  We respect Bible authority “If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God.” 1 Pet. 4:11

 Infant Baptism  Sprinkling / Pouring  Instrumental Music  Incense, candles, holy water  Reverend  Fund Raising  Holy Days  Salvation – Trip to Holy Lands

We can only do what has been authorized. Do what the Bible authorizes If the Bible does not forbid it, then we can do it. Do anything the Bible does not forbid.
