BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES
Introduction
Part 1
Scripture contains principles from the first word to the last word, every chapter contains basic elements that are sometimes repeated to enforce the importance of the principle revealed. These unchanging and absolute principles are presented in a way that all can understand. God wrote a book so that all could comprehend. It is not a book of mystery, it is not a book intended to be kept from the uneducated and the uninitiated.
These principles are foundational in Genesis, come to fruition in the book of the Revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ.
If time allows, and God and the Holy Spirit of God guides, we hope to develop each of the following principles as Scripture reveals them.
PRINCIPLES
GOD
⇒God’s promises are not controlled, effected or limited by circumstances
⇒God acts supernaturally outside of the understanding of men
⇒God is not limited or controlled by time, space or dimension
⇒God manifests His power in the affairs of the earth
⇒God is always on His throne
⇒God has His proper order in His set time
⇒God’s record is precise
⇒God sets the time frame for nations and for men
⇒God never departs from His Holiness to fellowship with man
⇒God’s Holiness and Righteousness demands that He must judge sin
⇒God requires separation from the ungodly
Separation principle
The Oldest Religion – man’s attempt at self justification and self-righteousness
The Principle of Unity through Separation
Holiness and sin cannot dwell together
The marriage principle of one man and one woman
The positive – negative principle
We produce after our kind
The Law of First Mention
To understand the present, it is necessary to understand the past, to trace things back to their origin
That which begins on a wrong or evil foundation will always end badly
Wherever sin is found, God must judge
The Principle of Sacrifice
Spiritual decay comes before moral decay
Universal depravity
Every New Testament truth has its Old Testament types
True fellowship is walking with God
Truth is not determined by the majority
Truth is never determined by success
All men desire a name or preeminence
Evil develops quicker than the good
Evil has always been and will always be in the majority
⇒there is only one exception, and that is millennial, and in the eternal state
The Babel Principles
⇒united men can dethrone God
⇒consensus determines truth and morality
⇒man in his own determinate strength can achieve physical, social and spiritual greatness
⇒power and truth in the religion of humanism
⇒united men can created an accepted and perfect social and governmental order.
All forms of earthly governments will eventually lead to abusive control of its subjects and tyrannical rule
Man’s government is always built on a wrong foundation
⇒it’s built on the presumption that men have the ability to govern with truth, justice, and righteousness.
⇒it’s built on the presumption that men know what is “right” for the masses
⇒it’s built on the presumption that because men know what is right, they will do what is right.
Those who walk with God will always be in the minority
God in His mercy and grace will always provide a way for those who love and obey Him
The Representation Principle
Believing God leads to obeying God
All men fail God
All parts of Scripture are of one whole
To know the source of a subject or the source or origin of a principle gives understanding and insight into its character
The beginning of social and governmental order, all forms of earthly governments will eventually lead to abusive control of its subjects and tyrannical rule
The Bible has design, structure and a pattern created by God
The Principle of the Law of Numbers
