6. Grade A/A* - Analyse whether the Bible is the best authority
I do think the Bible is the best authority because teachings in the Sermon on the Mount come directly from Jesus, the Son of God, and tell us how God wants us to live.
No I don’t think the Bible is the best authority because not everyone understands the meanings of parables and need guidance to understand God.
