Cannot Rightly Learn The Bible Through Church Tradition; Only Through Scriptures

Sadly, it is not just the Roman Catholic Church that attempts to teach people the bible, not with the bible, but with the "hit-or-miss" traditions of man, created by man, and not written by and through the divine workings of the Holy Spirit. Over the years, I have seen this type of thing not only in the Baptist church, but in the mainline Protestant denominations as well.

"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJB)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are looking at how God instructs us, through His apostles and prophets, to study the holy scriptures. We are to learn what the bible says and what the bible teaches, not through tradition, but according to the scriptures. When we apply this much-needed method of study, it brings us to a near-immediate and markedly different conclusion than what is taught in most churches in our day. Our rallying cry must be "Sola Scriptura!", and leave the "traditions of men" to those who want religion instead of a relationship with the Almighty God of the bible.
