Make An Ark of Gopher Wood Generic and Specific Authority

Bible Authority  Religious authority comes from God because he is our Creator (Gen. 1:1) and God expresses his authority through his word (Heb. 1:1-2)  Both the OT and the NT exemplify the need for God’s authority in our life  There is also a need to distinguish the different covenants in the Bible and handle accurately the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15)

Bible Authority  God authorizes a practice sometimes by speaking generically (allowing for aides, expediencies) and sometimes by speaking specifically or explicitly (not allowing any additions)  An “aid” or “expediency” (lit. to carry out) is something that helps to carry out a general statement  An “addition” is something in addition to what has been specifically or explicitly stated

Generic and Specific Authority  Be as general as God is general (don’t add any specifics of your own) and be as specific as God is specific (don’t add any generalities of your own) - Mt. 16:19; 18:18  Do not make specific what God has made generic (Acts 15:10,28; Gal. 5:1)  Do not make generic what God has made specific (1 Chron. 13:6-14; 15:13-15)
