Authority is defined as; "'The right to command or act, The King James Bible uses 'power' where the American Standard has, 'authority': and both terms are helpful in understanding the idea. All authority hath been given to Matt. 28:18. 'But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12.

There are those who are unaware of the need for religious authority, or think emotion meets the need, or deny the need. But everyone needs authority, for everything they do in service to God. This was true in the Mosaic age, (Levit. 10:1) and it is no less true now, "And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Coll. 3:17.

To act without authority, even with the best motives, is sinful presumption and displeasing to God, Il Samuel 6:6, 7. There are different kinds of authority in the Bible, specific and general. Specific authority the thing or activity involved; and in such names fashion excludes all other such things or activities. Genesis 6:14, "an ark of gopher Exodus 'smite the rock', Numbers 'speak unto the rock', Ephesians 5:19, 'Singing and ye making melody with your heart' Generic authority gives general direction, leavthe details to be supplied by man; and in such ing fashion includes all things needed for compliance. Genesis 6:14.

'make thee', --tools are unnamed but obviously authorized. Hebrews 10:25. 'assembling' demands a place- unnamed but authorized. Matthew 'teaching' authorizes oral or written: private or public. The subject of expediency should also be considered here.

Expedient means, "suited to the end in view'; that which is expedient is that which is advantageous to the reaching of a goal. Some seek to include innovative things as but an expedient thing must be. lawful. I Cor 6:12, a thing or practice 19 not authorized it cannot be expedient--for there IS no expedient way do unauthorized thing.

Interment WAS in the BIBLE THOUGHTS by DUB McCLISH BIBLE THOUGHTS THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY means "second not in the sense of an additional body of law besides the one revealed in Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, but in the sense of a repetition of the original law. Deuteronomy 18 a restatement of the law of Moses to an entire generation that had grown up since the law had been originally given at Mt. Sinai. This majestic book is basically a record of three great sermons delivered by Moses to the Israelites just before they were to cross the Jordan River and begin the conquest to Canaan.

Except for the last eight verses, Deuteronomy claims to be the work of Moses. It opens as follows: "These are the words which Moses spake unto all Israel." In the New Testament Jesus, Peter, Stephen and Paul all quote from this book and attribute the quotation to Moses. Those who question the inspired Mosaic authorship presume to know more about the inspired book than the inspired writers themselves. Deuteronomy is Moses' farewell address. In it he makes his final appeal to Israel to remain faithful to God's covenant after they enter Canaan.

Those portions of the law that were most practical were given great emphasis. Those events that best demonstrate God's favor are given attention. Frequent warnings of God's wrath upon the disobedient are stated. In fact, reduced to one word, the theme of the book of OBEDIENCE! In Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers Moses served as God's legislator, delivering and interpreting the law to his people. In Deuteronomy Moses becomes God's preacher and prophet, pouring out his heart in the grandest style of exhortation, typical of the greater preacher and prophet who was yet to come.

Few books are quoted more often by other inspired writers, indicating the appreciation and respect they had for this book of Moses. The historical books of Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Kings and 1 Samuel and the prophetic books of Jeremiah, Hosea and Amos all refer to various events passages in it. As indicated above, it is often quoted in the New Testament, also. To the Jews, Deuteronomy constitutes the "fifth-fifth of the law', the first four Old Testament books bing the other four-fifths. It is a fitting conclusion to both the books of the law and to the books of Moses.

With i it an era ends: the man who has nursed the Hebrew people through the wilderness passes from the scene and Joshua inherits his mantle. They are ready to cross Jordan and inhabit their land. The message of Deuteronomy is evercurrent: Men bring terrible calamity on themselves through disobedience. GRANBURY CHURCH OF CHRIST Hiway 377 S. Across From High School Study the?
