Were the Bereans noble-minded for measuring Paul's teachings to see how they measured up to the scriptures?
Are we to follow Christ as one who spoke with authority by quoting scripture instead of commentary on scripture as did the pharisees or not?
What does it mean to "not make decisions on internal questioning" as Paul spoke of?
When Paul said "let God be true, though every man a liar", what did he mean with regard to tradition?
When the scriptures say "Not to put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man to whom NO SALVATION BELONGS", do you suppose that includes religious leaders?
When Paul said "Even if an ANGEL were to declare to you as good news BEYOND what we declared to you as good news, let that one be cursed." What are we to make of additions to scripture beyond what is evident to all? What then of "new light"?
Are we to obey God as ruler, as did the apostles, or are we to mindlessly submit to religious authority?
How is it that we can be said to "keep checking that we are in the faith" if we don't "make the truth our own" by taking ownership of the truth that is God's word, the Bible, in terms of our own understanding and interpretation?
If a man says he has "new light" and he later says his light was not "light", but darkness, is he not blind?
If we follow a man or an organization claiming to follow Christ, then are we following Christ, the man or the organization?
Does following Christ have a hierarchy, or a queue? Or is there room for all who are toiling and loaded down to come to him and be refreshed?
If the scriptures in Revelation say that "all the liars" will end up in the lake of fire, then how are we to feel about telling "theocratic lies"? Are they still not lies?
To avoid following blind men into pits, what must we do?
