I) Accepting popular theory as fact without proof
But the multitude accepted that Jesus was from Galilee
Because a majority accept theory of evolution, it is stated as fact
Most denominations accept common teachings about Christianity
Brethren accept rumors as fact
We must be certain of what we believe as truth; our eternal destiny depends on it
II) Inconsistent reasoning
Later will say that the Messiah is from Bethlehem
Some make conflicting arguments from scripture; not saved by works, but describe someone as a “good person” based on what they do
Modern-day revelation groups, etc. make contrasting arguments over time (ex.
original version of Book of Mormon was riddled with contradictions)
That is why we can never censure or limit discussion and debate; truth will always be made clearer and error will eventually collapse
III) Isolate scriptures
Separated from and
The devil used scripture out of context
“Faith only” people do it when they speak of salvation by faith, but ignore obedience of faith in baptism
IV) Prejudice
Ignored his testimony because of their attitude
People follow well-dressed, smooth, or good-looking preachers
But ignore truth from poorly-dressed, bland, or uneducated men
V) Name-calling
They could not answer his words
Often desperate measure, seen in political races and debates, and brethren who use labels like “anti’s”, “liberals”
Concl: Man repeats his mistakes; we need to make sure we don’t try to make fallacious arguments because of stubbornness to truth.
