| 1984 How To Interpret the Bible |
How does God communicate with man? God gave us all the tools we need, else we would be dependent on others in order to understand the Bible. It is not wrong to use human reasoning. “If church authority supersedes human reasoning, then we should all be Roman Catholics.” How the Bible was preserved. Dart provides seven steps to help with Bible interpretation, such as language, context, writer’s mental and external condition. Redundancy in the Bible. How apparent contradictions establish credibility. A good explanation of the “hell” of Revelation 14. The bottom line about interpreting the Bible is that we have to think. The alternative is slavery. |

| 84-05-26 Fellowship |
Forsaking the fellowship refers to a conscious act of deliberate withdrawal, not staying away due to physical circumstances -- that we may consider others and provoke them to good works. There will be heresies, savage wolves, and divisions, but there is no Biblical suggestion of using church discipline to address these situations. So, how should these be handled? Can they actually serve a purpose? Personal connections can hold groups together when two might dispute. A false leader or false minister can be overcome only at the personal level, by strong ties between individuals that will hold the group together in such stresses. Church government must be judged by the standard of the Bible (not vice-versa), and only the individual can make that judgment. Unity must be unity of the faith, not unity at any cost. There is only one mediator between God and man. The individual must withdraw from unsound teachers, but not from anyone else, and must not let anyone tell him he can’t. Fellowship equals sharing; builds relationships; holds brethren together. |

A look not so much as why to observe the feast days as how to observe them. Including second tithe, why a commanded assembly, where God places His name, New Testament Festival observance, and more. |
