The purpose of this article is to discuss why the Berean Method of scripture interpretation falls short of God’s expectations. When the study of scriptures is weighed on tradition for equity, then the preaching of that knowledge becomes a prejudice of thought in the minds of the unlearned, which when challenged by TRUTH, is defended as the token truth of that denomination.

Every religious system claims some kind of divine valid token of being real. This is seen in the claiming of these things;
1. Answer to prayer
2. healing
3. deliverance
4. angelic visitation
5. Dream
6. Vision

God in His compassion authorizes the joy of these things to all His creatures, but the creatures themselves, for the purpose of this, bring the visitation into the realm of a boast, not understanding the True source of Christ is to draw the soul into repentance for to begin the transformation of the soul.

These manifestations are sent to the vessel for to tutor and tether the soul by His word.

Matthew 7:20 -24

20. herefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have CAST OUT DEVILS? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

FRUITS: being the temperament of the kingdom they are tethered to.
KNOW: able to discern by the TRUTH and the fellowship of knowledge
THE WILL: the assigned task of the Throne by covenant
NAME: authorized kingdom and sanctified title of Jesus Christ
WONDERFUL WORKS: an activity that fills the aspirations and brings false equity and false piety
BUILT: as a form of labor that is either self-referencing or glorifying the value of His virtue in you
HOUSE: either that of Satan (treasures of the flesh), or that of Christ, (treasures of His powers)

The Berean Method is self-referencing, because the substance of the knowledge is not born of the anointing, but formed by the logic and study of doctrine. Jesus made to His apostles the distinction of both, that of the anointing and that of the letter. The church needs apostles today to reference the church to God.

MATTHEW 16:6,11-12
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

When there are no living apostles guiding the church in doctrine today as in the early church, believers fall into the same state as Israel without the light of God. The Pharisees had the Torah and the other ancient writings for themselves to decide what is TRUTH. But couldn’t see the Face of Truth Himself. False doctrine marrs the image of God in the soul so that His visage is not recognizable. Only grace can wipe the blood of offence away.

2 CORINTHIANS 3
13 And not as Moses, which put a VAIL over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same VAIL untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which VAIL is done away in Christ.
15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the VAIL is upon their heart.
16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the VAIL shall be taken away.

Be Blessed

In His grace
