Practice Occam's razor (the elegant solution) in all of your biblical studies and conclusions. In a nutshell, the principle of Occam's razor says that the simplest solution that answers all of the data is the correct solution.

James 4:7, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

John Calvin warns us: “So great is the influence of preconceived opinion, that it brings darkness over the mind in the midst of the clearest light.”

When men plead uncertainty and freedom of opinion where the Scriptures speak clearly, there is a departure from the authority of Scripture.

God help us to tremble at the word of God, not trifle with it.
