What Do You Know?

As a Protestant, Evangelical believer, I’ve been taught all my life (and rightly so) that the Bible is the basis of truth we can know.
Yet, it seems like some are too quick to call something biblical if it includes a verse or two.
Remember, even Satan quoted scripture:
“Then the devil took [Jesus] into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, ‘He will command His angels concerning you’; and ‘on their hands they will bear you up, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’ ” – Matthew 4:5-6
That is why we must take everything we hear and everything we read and compare it to the Scriptures…which means we must know them.
