The numbers game.
Just because a lot of people believe that something is true, doesn't make it so.
A lot of people believe mud-to-man evolution. Does that make it so?

The duration fallacy.
Just because an idea has been around for a long time, doesn't make it true.
An error doesn't get truer with age. |

The early church fallacy.
Just because an idea is attributed to the "early church", doesn't mean it's true.
As we see in the New Testament, the early church needed plenty of correction. |

The splinter in your eye?
Perhaps you don't need to check the scriptures, because you couldn't be wrong.
If not, then certainly you'd be humble enough to allow the scriptures to correct you. |

To err is human.
God's Word doesn't make mistakes, but humans often make mistakes.
This is why we should search the scriptures to see if we've been taught correctly. |

If no verse of scripture suggests that an idea is true, why would you believe it?
Is it possible for men today to make "void the word of God" by their "tradition"?
If so, then we need to stick to God's word to avoid making this same mistake. |

If the facts of scripture actually show that an idea is false, why wouldn't you reject it?
The choice between truth and tradition can be difficult, as we see in the scriptures.
If you love the truth, then you have nothing to fear from a closer look at the Bible. |
