The Word of God and its Rivals (Part 1)
Authority of ScripturesSteve Gregg
In "The Word of God and its Rivals," Steve Gregg asserts that the ultimate authority for believers is the Word of God, and all human authorities and traditions can become a rival authority if they contradict scripture. He emphasizes that Christians should not be intimidated by expert opinions or opposing beliefs, but rather examine them in light of scripture. The lecture also touches on the dangers of putting loyalty to country or church leaders above loyalty to God and the importance of examining religious traditions in the context of biblical teachings.
