The Bible Standard: Authority, Inspiration, and Preservation

The Bible as our religious guide compared to other standards, authorities, guides, and creeds
Articles by David E. Pratte

What standard of authority should we follow in religion: the Bible or other religious guides? Is the Bible inspired by God? Has it been preserved accurately? Should we follow creeds, tradition, councils, man-made rules, or human wisdom? What about following conscience, family religion, scholars, modern revelations, or the Old Testament Law of Moses?
