This lesson is for June 13th-19th
"When discussing the apostle Paul’s letters, Peter writes that in them, and in some other places in Scripture, there are “some things hard to understand” (2 Pet. 3:16, NKJV). These words are twisted or distorted by “ignorant and unstable people” (2 Pet. 3:16, NIV) to their own destruction. Peter does not say that all things are difficult to understand—but only that some are." Join our 3ABN Sabbath School Panel as they discuss this week's lesson entitled "Dealing with Difficult Passages" from the quarterly "How to Interpret the Scripture".

“Bible prophecy is crucial to our identity and mission. Prophecy provides an internal and external mechanism to confirm the accuracy of God’s Word. Jesus said, “ ‘And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe’ ” (John 14:29, NKJV; see also John 13:19). This presents a crucial question: How do we interpret prophecy correctly so that we know when the prophecy has, indeed, come to pass?” Join our 3ABN Sabbath School Panel as they discuss this week's lesson entitled "The Bible and Prophecy" from the quarterly "How to Interpret the Scripture".

"The Bible is constituted in history. Biblical history moves in a linear direction from an absolute beginning, when God created all things, to an ultimate goal, when He will restore the earth at His second coming. The historical nature of Scripture is one characteristic that distinguishes it from the sacred books of other religions. The Bible assumes the existence of a God who personally acts in history; it does not try to prove that existence."Join our 3ABN Sabbath School Panel as they discuss this week's lesson entitled "The Bible as History" from the quarterly "How to Interpret the Scripture". This lesson is for May 30th-June 5th.

“The Protestant claim of “Scripture alone” (sola Scriptura) elevated Scripture to the sole standard and decisive source for theology. In contrast to Roman Catholic theology, which emphasized Scripture and tradition, the Protestant faith emphasized the keyword “alone”; that is, Scripture alone is the final authority when matters of faith and doctrine are at issue.” Join our 3ABN Sabbath School Panel as they discuss this week's lesson entitled "By Scripture Alone - Sola Scriptura" from the quarterly "How to Interpret the Scripture".
