Embracing Silence: Understanding the Boundaries of Scriptural Authority

This exploration reflects on the revolutionary thought of Thomas Campbell, emphasizing the need to recognize both the spoken and unspoken aspects of God's word. As we navigate biblical teachings, we must respect God's silence as much as His revelations. Addressing key scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 4:6 and Hebrews 1:1-4, we challenge the inclination to add to Christ's teachings. This discussion invites believers to listen actively to God's voice and silence, fostering a deeper discipleship rooted in grace, truth, and spiritual liberty.
