How We Approach The Bible Leads To Consequences:

Following the Bible and the Bible alone leads to positive consequences: Ephesians 3:17; Philippians 4:9; Hebrews 5:9

Following the Bible plus the doctrines and/or the ideas of men leads to negative consequences: Matthew 15:13-14; 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; Romans 2:8

Are the following matters the “doctrines of men” or examples of following the scriptures?

“Join the church of your choice”
“Our church says”
“My preacher says”
“We all have different faiths, ways of worship, and religious beliefs”
“Everyone understands the Bible differently”
Religious creeds

Our choices determine whether or not we are building “our house on the sand” or “our house on the rock.”
