Acts 17:11
Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.
Clearly the Bereans did NOT believe in the scriptures ALONE!!!
They listened to Paul >>AND<< they checked their "Old Testament scriptures"!
Paul was TEACHING "Christ Resurrected"! Christ Resurrected is NOT found in the "Old Testament"!
**The Bereans NEEDED Paul and his TEACHING to find truth, they NEEDED Church to arrive at truth!
The LESS...
The Less Noble people of Thessalonica; Believed in the Scriptures ALONE!!! They refused to listen to Church, the teaching of Paul!! BUT.....
But they have an excuse when they stand in front of Jesus at judgement... They can say: "We did not know we were to listen to Church; We do not have written in our Old Testament "'Listen to the Church'"!
The person living today has NO excuse for not listening to the Church they are "NOT NOBLE!!!"
We today have the "New Testament" our scriptures say; "Listen to the Church or be treated as pagan"!
Pagan: A person outside of God' body!
All who believe in "Scriptures ALONE" must reject the scriptures to believe this man made TRADITION!
