Bible Question: some commands and ideas in the Bible apply to the people of that time. Other statements may apply to us today. How can we discern if a passage, such as Matt. 5:14-16, applies to us today? |
Bible Answer: I would suggest to you the following procedure. When a principle is not abrogated explicitly by the New Testament authors, most of the time, it would be good to think about the thing. But it is not the only rule that we should follow. |
