Wide is the way which is the way that leads to perdition
And narrow is the way that leads to life
2 Peter 2:2
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
A brother from Doha, Qatar asked a question, night and day he prays to God and to Jesus, he always does the sign of the cross, is there a need to do the sign of the cross when we pray to God.
Bro Eli Soriano made us understand the sign of the cross is not in the Bible.
In everything we are studying there are basis to everything, like the kind of books we use to study those courses e.g Law.
When it comes to religion, a great many don't believe in God and for those who do, they use the Bible as a basis of teachings.
1 Corinthians 4:6
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
According to St Paul we should not go beyond the basis of what is written, we should follow the instructions of what we should learn and not go beyond that.
1 Corinthians 14:37
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
What was written by the apostles were instructions from God, God uses instruments to write the instructions to man, to guide man to salvation.
Man should not use his wisdom to add to the things he was commanded.
Ecclesiastes 7:29
Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Alot of inventions today which is not written in the Bible, trinity is not biblical, holy super too is not written in the Bible.
We should learn not to go beyond what is written, whatever is written we ought to learn that.
A sister from Guiguinto asked what is the meaning of antichrist.
Anti means an enemy to something, in the Bible anti Christ is an enemy of Christ.
1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 Timothy 1:7
Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
Preachers should understand what they are preaching
Romans 2:21
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
They are preachers who do not understand what they are preaching, they preach what they don't practice.
Proverbs 3:13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
We need to firstly understand the words of God, get wisdom on the doctrines of God.
Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
1 Corinthians 2:6
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
We should seek for the wisdom from above and not the wisdom of this world or of man.
James 3:17
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind.
2 Peter 2:22
But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
