[sdadoug]

1 Th 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.
What are “All Things” to be tested?
What is the “Test” to which Paul refers?
What is the standard which determines whether “A Thing” passes or fails “The Test”?
Have these tests or standards changed in any way since Paul wrote this letter?
Why or why not?

Every word of prophecy from a prophet.

The "test" to discern true prophet from false prophet.

What is the standard which determines whether “A Thing” passes or fails “The Test”?

A word from God or not.

Have these tests or standards changed in any way since Paul wrote this letter?

The standard is the same.

Why or why not?

If God said it, it will come to pass.

In Philippians 'things' are basically summed up...

Phil 4:8

8 Finally, brethren,

....whatsoever things are true, .

....whatsoever things are honest,

....whatsoever things are just,

....whatsoever things are pure,

....whatsoever things are lovely,

....whatsoever things are of good report;

(summing it up)...if there be any virtue, and
...............if there be any praise,
...............think on these things. KJV
