- This framing uses Scripture to show continuity between prophecy and current events, reducing surprise and despair.
Argue From Scripture, Not Opinion
- When arguing about doctrine, take opponents to the scriptures rather than shouting opinions.
- Quote the right texts and show their direct relevance to avoid fruitless dispute.
