SCRABBLE BOARD THEOLOGY

Several of the most popular doctrines or teachings 

in the "Christian" world today were arrived at by

"scrabble board theology".

They take a hand full of letters, or verses, and arrange

them in the order they want and -BEHOLD - a doctrine

that is very pleasing to themselves and every one else. 

Unfortunately, just because these "proof texts" come

out of the Bible, it does not make it a Bible truth.

How do we know what is right then?

I am glad you ask that question.  It's very simple.  Pull the 

old Berean trick on them.  It has worked for several thousand

years.

"Now these were more noble-minded than those in

Thessalonica, for they receive the word with great

eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see

whether these things were so."

(Acts 17:11 NASB) 

There you have it.  Just three simple steps.

1.  Pick up your Bible and put it in your hands.

2. Read it.

3.  Leave it in the order God put it.
