TN5: 6.4 Do not add to or take from, any relevant statement in order to harmonize it with your belief system or explanations 3SC1: 11.1.1 Moreover, whatever interpretation we may place on any statement in reference to any truth, must be in harmony with every other statement on the subject. Logical Precept: Understand each statement separately, then bring them all together, one by one in their chronological order, the reason for so doing is because we are studying a progressive revelation of truths. Our final understanding of the subject must be one in which all statements are in harmony. Expecting our understanding to change as we add each statement. Logical Precept: See the subject through the eyes of the author Logical Precept: Do not magnify one statement while reducing another or entirely setting aside another, because the SROD do not support your idea Logical Precept: Always give first and foremost consideration to statements dealing directly with the subject of study, over statements only incidentally referring to the subject
