Well, they were to test all things both by GW (to the extent they could learn it) and via the HS (cf. Phil. 3:15-16).
BTW, Matthew incorporates much of Mark. Here is what Wikipedia says: "In the two-source hypothesis, the three-source hypothesis and the Q+/Papias hypothesis, Matthew and Luke both used Mark and Q as sources."
Not when it was written.
Doubtful they used the Old Testament, either, as it would not have been readily available to non-Greeks in Thessaloniki. Besides, the answer is right there in the same verse:
"Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good."
I'm all for Bible study, but even there the Spirit would have to teach the reader the essence of the reading.
Testing may have also included use of what was shared. The Lord gained wisdom by what He suffered and the wise, by consistent use of their grace, gain discernment.
"..though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9And having been perfected..."
"But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."
So, if it was not good after testing (by use) the saint should discard it.
Yes, both GW and the HS are needed for learning what is true/good,
and we should never divorce them.
I believer it means Word of Faith.
Usually used to describe the Word of Faith movement. A charismatic branch of Christianity. I may be wrong though
Don't be too sure. There is no way we or a pope can claim infallible certainty regarding either.
We cannot escape the necessity of faith because of the lack of perfect sight (2Cor. 5:7, 1Cor. 13:12).
I believe its Word of Faith. A characteristic branch of Christianity. Focusing alot on the meaning of words.
I cannot tell you. I only know of a few acronyms. As far as doctrine i couldn't tell you.
Then we would have to start doubting scripture though which doesn’t seem like a good ideer
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV
air we begin doubting that it’s authentic of sayong it’s corrupted our trust flies out the window of all the information God has made known to save us . And then everyone is left to think what they think and claim it’s gods spirit telling them
Is god capable of protecting the integrity of his word tbat he said would be preached to all creation ? I believe he is and so we can trust the scriptures without that trust we’re going to end up being “our own Bible “
“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
2 Peter 1:19-21 KJV
Thanks for the reply .I’ve heard the term before but not sure what the doctrine is that they insist upon
I amj curious about word of faith because when I was in the hospital one time they sometimes have people sit with you to keep an eye on you and this man was a wof believer and he was teaching me about his belief and then suddenly a code blue happened meaning someone was sufficating and dying and I said to God if this wof is true then save that man and as I said this suddenly the code blue stopped and the man apparently was breathing normal and alive.
I have also seen how sometimes I have spoken circumstances into existance so is there anything legit to this wof I wonder?

No. We should not doubt scripture. Only test how scripture is being taught. We can know what is written but to know what it means requires the Holy Spirit and wisdom. Otherwise, church leaders would be chosen from among the educated vs from those who have walked with the Lord for years.
Wait. What...?
