%SCRIPTURE AUTHORITY COMPLEMENTARY EXCLUSIVE EVIL 970605
Many Christians have a dilemma in regards to sources
of authority:
1. Are Biblical Scriptures the exclusive source of
authority which Christians should respect and trust?
2. How should other sources of authority be
regarded? Other sources of authority include, but are not
necessarily limited to:
a. Promptings of Holy Spirit.
b. Church doctrines and confessions.
c. Church law, rules, and regulations.
d. Other religions' holy writings.
e. Personal experience and perceptions.
f. Results of professional scientific research.
g. Certified professional counselors.
h. Certified Medical Doctors.
i. Public laws of city, county, state, nation,
and United Nation.
3. How should Christians regard what they perceive
to be conflicts between what different passages in the
Bible say?
4. How should Christians regard what they perceive
to be conflicts between what they perceive non-Biblical
sources of authority to say, and what they perceive
passages in the Bible to say.
5. How should Christians regard conflicting
interpretations of passages of Holy Scripture as offered
by religious leaders within their own church? Within
other churches?
6. How should Christians decide which conflicts to
pay attention to, and which conflicts to pay little
attention to?
