God SAYS things in 4 ways…

Acts 15 demonstrate each of these.

1)    STATES in Direct Commands & Facts. Acts 15:13-18

2)    APPROVED Examples of those following the Stated commands. Acts 15:12

a)     What makes for an approved example? When the example follows a command of God. 

b)    An expedient is when there are a variety of examples to fulfill a generic command. 

c)     When a specific command is stated, it eliminates all variations. 

d)    The first day of the week worship is specific. Places for Bible study is generic.

e)     Without a command there is no approved example nor necessary inference. 

3)    YOUR inescapable conclusions based on the written evidence. Implying & Inferring. Acts 15:7-11

4)    SILENCE Prohibits. Acts 15:24. If silence is permissive, how would you order a pizza?

If God communicates in a different manner, explain it to me without Telling me, Showing me or Implying anything.
