Rule - Complete
Since man shall live “by every word” [1] [2]; a doctrine is not sound until it sums up and includes all that God has said about it. This keeps us searching.
This attitude of searching recognizes that the Bible is full of meaning, and that perhaps one person in his own studies has not yet identified or considered all the applicable passages. This attitude is missing when a few verses are used as a shotgun to force a discussion to a preconceived conclusion.
Consequence of lack of completeness Conclusions may be premature.
- Pr 18:13 ¶ He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him.
