When scripture, "it is written," conflicts with any of the following items

 

• What you thought
• What you were taught
• Your beliefs
• Your religious affiliation's doctrine
• Your love for the praise of men is more than your love for the praise of God.
  Jn 12:43, Jn 5:43-47     Jn 10:37-38, Jn 9:17-38, Jn 14:3-11

 

           That is when you have to decide who to follow, Jn 10:26-28.

 

      Make a note of anything that seems questionable and the reason(s) why it seems questionable.
           After further study of the scriptures, review your questionable items.

Here is a list of things to consider.

 

1. Have I considered, read, and understand all the verses on this subject. Not just those in the New Testament.
2. Do I overlook or disregard verses that conflict with my beliefs or my religious affiliation's doctrine.

6. Do I avoid considering all the testimonial writings together that are in the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
7. Do I avoid integrating all gospel teachings.
8. Do I avoid integrating the teachings of the gospels, Acts, and Letters / Epistles together.
9. Do I avoid integrating the Old and New Testaments teachings together.
10. Do I use logic or reasoning to arrive at a belief rather than using "it is written" verses.
