It is interesting how the Bereans in the Bible are referred to as the noble minded peoples in comparison to the Thessalonians. Why is that? Well both peoples examined Paul’s teaching and compared it with the OT. The Thessalonians found Paul to contradict scripture and rejected his word. The Bereans on the other hand found Paul did not contradict the Torá and therefore accepted his ORAL teaching. Why did the Bereans search the Scriptures? Because they were the sole source of revelation and authority? NO, but to see if Paul was in line with what they already knew-TO CONFIRM ADDITIONAL REVELATION. They would not submit blindly to his apostolic teaching and oral tradition, but, once they accepted the credibility of Paul’s teaching as the ORAL word of God, they put it on a par with Scripture and recognized its binding authority. After that they spoke of APOSTOLIC Tradition and the Old Testament equally as God’s word (see 2 Thess. 2:15, 3:16). They were willing to accept new ORAL TRADITION from Paul. The Thessalonians adhered to only their scripture and would not hear of any new teaching. You might say that they were a kind of sola-scriptura people even though that would not be invented until Martin Luther.

Wonderful study

I have listened to a berean "pastor" that believe & teaches the Lord was finished with the Jews in 70 AD. And another I just heard that says the Tribulation lasts for 10yrs!🙄🤦‍♂️
