The Bereans examined the Scriptures to see if Paul and Silas were telling them the truth. (Acts 17:10-12)
Are people examining the Scriptures today to see if their church leaders are telling them the truth or are they examining church creed books, books of commentaries, so-called books of new revelation, church statements of faith, and books written about the Bible.
1.Doctrine: The Father has a body of flesh and bone as tangible as man's.
You cannot reach that conclusion by searching the Scriptures. (John 4:24)
2. Doctrine: Christians are to remember the Sabbath day[Saturday is the Sabbath] and keep it holy.
That cannot be believed by searching the Scriptures. (Exodus 31:12-18, Galatians 5:1-7)
3. Doctrine: Men are saved by grace alone.
There is no Scripture that states men are saved by grace alone. You would have be taught from extra-Biblical sources to believe you are saved by grace alone.
4. Doctrine: Saved by faith only.
No translation of the Bible says men are saved by faith only.
5. Doctrine: Water immersion [baptism] is not essential for salvation.
Only a skilled professional can convince men that water baptism is not essential for salvation. It cannot be learned by prayerfully examining the Scriptures. (Mark 16:16, Acts 22:16, Acts 2:38, Galatians 3:27, Romans Chapter 6, Colossians 2:11-14, Ephesians 5:25-27, John 3:5, 1 Peter 3:20-21, Titus 3:5, Acts 2:40-41)
6. Doctrine: The only true, accurate, trustworthy English translation of the Bible is the King James Version.
What verse in the King James Version says it is the only trustworthy translation of God's word?
7.Doctrine: Praying to [in other words worshipping] the Virgin Mary and other dead saints is approved by God.
Where are Scriptures to prove praying to people is not worship and approve by God? That can only be taught from creed books and other extra-Biblical sources.
THE QUESTION? Is what you believe, because you prayerfully studied the Scriptures to find the truth or did your truth come from church creed books, Bible commentaries, books about the Bible, church statements of faith, the teaching of skilled professionals or from books of so-called new revelation?
