WHAT IS THE STANDARD OF AUTHORITY IN RELIGION?
IS IT THE MAJORITY?

What the majority of people say in some matters should be accepted, but such is not the case in spiritual matters. Even under the law of Moses, God said, "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil." (Exo. 23:2). In Matt. 7:13,14 Jesus said, "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the say, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." The idea that "since everybody is doing it, therefore it is right" is certainly foreign to the teaching of the New Testament. The majority is not the standard in spiritual matters. (to be continued)
