Rules of Engagement
- Every stance, view, opinion, etc., must be backed by at least two Scriptures that are viable to address the position.
- No source found outside of Scripture will stand without first meeting this requirement.
- Three citations, including at least one from both the “Old Testament” and the “New Testament”, is recommended to proceed down the rabbit hole.
- Any denominational viewpoint is acceptable as long as it meets the criteria of Rule #1. To see our denominational stance, and some of the challenging questions that surround this subject, click here.
- Respect and honor are currencies of the Kingdom, they will be here as well. Give honor and show respect to all, speaking truth in love as to a family member, always seeking edification rather than decimation.
- Understand this… we know that we are not always right! Forgive us… we are human too! But this is why you will see us stress so continuously to stand on Scripture. Too often, yes… even you, become so emotionally attached to something that we refuse to see truth. We must recognize that in our fallen state we are constantly at war with our flesh——————————————————————————–
What do you mean, viability of Scriptural use?
The premise and position in which the Scripture is being viewed must be identically seen as it relates to the stance being taken. It is the commentator’s responsibility to ensure all Scriptural use fits the clearest possible context of it’s original time, meaning, cultural use, parenthetical placement, and uniformity with the totality of Scripture.
God’s Word can never contradict Himself. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.*1 (Heb 13:8) Therefore, if there appears to be a discrepancy in Scripture that cannot be resolved, the logical answer is that God’s ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. We may need to wait, ask and seek discernment from the Holy Spirit to reveal the fullness of God’s truth. (Isa 55:8-9)
