Authority, Part 5

Jesse Jenkins

February 13, 2013

-- / --

With general authority, aids are allowed, but never additions:
- Song books aid in singing, but do not add another kind of music.
- Mechanical instruments add another kind of music and usurp His authority.
- Printed outlines with scripture references aid in Bible classes.
- Teaching anything other than the Bible in our classes adds another subject of study and usurps His authority.
- For a church to provide the necessary things for the relief of its needy members aids in its work.
- For a church to turn the relief of its needy members over to a human institution for relief adds another organization; thus usurps His authority.
Bible authority comes to us in one of four forms:
- Statement of fact
  - Mark 16:16
  - Matthew 19:4-5 - marriage
  - Matthew 26:29 - Lord’s Supper
  - Acts 20:7 - disciples gathered on the first day of the week to break bread and to hear preaching
