Dogma- 1. A system of principles or tenets, as of a church. 2. A specific tenet or doctrine authoritatively laid down, as by a church.

Dogmatic- Asserting opinions in a doctrinaire or arrogant manner; opinionated.

“Why are you being so dogmatic?” “Why does it have to be your way?” “Why can’t we just agree to disagree and accept one another?”

Just because someone says something is opinion Does Not Make It SO!

Reasons Why We Are So Specific in Our Convictions & Why We NEED to Be! We Are Dealing With The Word of God We Have God’s Message To Us – 2 Peter 1:3; 2 Timothy 3:16-17

In The Bible We Find: What God Has Done For Us Why He Did It What He Expects of Us How To Be Saved How To Serve Him How To Worship Him How to Deal With The Ungodly How To Treat One Another How to Stay Saved

1 Peter 4:11 “If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Respect The Word You Teach Understanding it IS GOD’S MESSAGE To Us!

Reasons Why We Are So Specific in Our Convictions God Has Always Demanded That We Respect His Authority

Reasons Why We Are So Specific in Our Convictions Authority Means Permission Genesis Ch. 3 & 4:3-7 Leviticus 10:1-4 2 Samuel 6:6-8

Learn by Both Example & Precept That God Has Set Boundaries We Are To Respect If We are to be Pleasing to God we Must Accept what His Word Says 1 Corinthians 4:6 Revelation 22:18-19; Luke 6:46

We Can’t Preach “a different gospel” & expect to be pleasing to God Galatians 1:6-9 2 Timothy 2:15 It is Never What the Word of God SAYS that divides – it is what it DOES NOT SAY! 2 Timothy 4:3-4

WE NEED AUTHORITY FOR ALL WE DO! Acts 5:29 When it Comes to What You Believe What is Your Motive?
