Context Determines Biblical Commands
- Not every Bible passage is a command to you; context matters for correct application.

Description Isn’t Always Prescription
- Distinguish descriptive passages from prescriptive ones to avoid misapplied rules.
- Turek uses examples like Jesus telling disciples to buy a sword as a time-bound description, not universal law.
