Who Is Our Authority and Our Teacher?

I have a dear friend. She lives about three hours from me and we get together about every six months. When I first told her about what we believe now she was adamant that we needed someone over us/us under some pastor's teaching and authority. I just kind of in my head thought, "No". So I would like to share from two different sources why. The first article is from CLM, Godley Thoughts, called Bible Study Guidelines. The second is from 119 ministries. It is actually talking about something that has come up in Hebrew Roots about should women wear headcoverings? I personally do not. I am not covicted to wear one. But that is me and if you wear one or your wife that is your conviction. Would I wear one if my husband wanted me to? Yes! I am under his headship. I am under his authority and no other mans, but Yeshua who is the head of the church. I added in this the link to the website because it goes over much needed understanding of who our Authority is. Please Enjoy!

Cave of Abdullam Bible Study Ground Rules (1 Sam 22:2)
1) Be a Berean (Acts 17:10-11) Act 17:10 And the brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. They, when they arrived, went into the synagogue of the Jews. Act 17:11 And these were more noble than those of Thessalonica, in that they received the Word with all readiness of mind and searched the Scriptures daily to see if those things were so. 2 Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?–unless indeed you fail to meet the test!
2) If Jesus could reveal Himself out of Moses and ALL the prophets of Scripture, so should we. (Luke 24:27) And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
3) If we want to know the END, where should we go to find out? According to The Creators Word? THE BEGINNING!
(Isaiah 46 9-10) Remember former things from forever; for I am God, and no other is God, even none like Me, Isa 46:10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from the past things which were not done, saying, My purpose shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure;
4) We now look at Scriptures as an Agricultural Book & A Military Manual, not a Theological, Denominational, Religious book.
5) The Most Important Parable, According to Jesus is Mark 4 and Matthew 13. Jesus said, if you don’t understand this one, how are you going to understand the others!
6) We have Inherited Lies and Falsehood in religion, things that don’t profit us anything. (Jeremiah 16 19-21) Jer 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
7) His Name is not LORD. (see the front of your bible)
Two Fundamental Questions we always ask:

1. a. Did God Say? (Gen 3:1)
2. b. Who Told You? (Gen 3:11)

9) There is only The Creator and The Corruptor; There are only 2 seeds, there are only 2 Trees’ Names in the Garden and The Creator didn’t plant the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

10) Jesus didn’t come to start Christianity. (Acts 1:6)

1. a. Or any other ‘religion’ for that matter

11) When it comes to The Word you are reading right in front of you: Believe what you read don’t read what you believe!

1. a. Re read the above 3 times slowly
2. b. Still doubt, then go to Item 8

12) Who is the Teacher?

1. a. Rick Godley? NO!!!!
2. b. Your Pastor? NO!!!!
3. c. Your Denomination? Doctrine? Dogma? NO!!!!
4. d. The Holy Spirit
   1. i. 1 Cor. 2 esp.v 13, Luke 12:12, John 14:26
   2. ii. Exodus 4 12-15
   3. iii. Deut 4:1
   4. iv. Psalm 25:8, 27:11, 32:8, 86:11, 119:12,

13) Who are we? Ordinary Unschooled men….(Acts 4:13)

1. a. Don’t need no stinkin’ seminary degree for pin headed theology (see rule 12)
