Now you see no matter what your preacher preaches or your teacher teaches or your assembly teaches as doctrine, you must search the scriptures to prove all things. Whether they be of Yahweh or otherwise, you must search it out. If it be of Yahweh, nothing can stand against it. Because if it is sound doctrine, it will always edify itself and never contradict itself. That's why you should never teach or preach anything until it has been proven to be sound doctrine. |
