The Bible is authoritative. We believe that the 66 Books of the Old and New Testament are the authoritative Word of God. God inspired Biblical writers to communicate truth.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting
and training in righteousness, so that the man of God maybe thoroughly
equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16,17)
2.
Scripture must be considered in context. In studying averse or a pericope, examine also the passage and Book from which it was taken. What is the theme (or themes) of the Book Why did the writer write the Book Who wrote the Book and to whom was it written When and where was the Book written Examine the historical, cultural, geographical, and circumstantial context.
