The Bible is not really the
standard of truth for people unless everyone, who professes Jesus as Lord, has the freedom to
disagree with each other.
If an individual or system
suppresses the freedom to disagree, then they have become the standard of truth, usurping
God and his word.
Each of us must personally be
accountable to our Lord and his word, not to a man or a system. As a lifestyle, we encourage
one another to derive truth from the plain meaning of scripture. And as a lifestyle, we
contend for the faith.
