Free Doctrinal Quality Check

Test Your Document Against the 7 Principles

Use the same standard Courtroom Christianity applies to every document it publishes. No cost. No account needed. No upload required. Just copy, paste, and let any AI evaluate your teaching against 7 biblical principles that determine sound doctrine.

What Are the 7 Principles?

The foundation Courtroom Christianity is built on.

The 7 Principles are a set of interpretive guardrails drawn directly from Scripture. They are designed to keep any teacher, pastor, or Bible student anchored to what the Bible actually says — without adding to it, subtracting from it, or letting human opinion override it.

Every document published by Courtroom Christianity is measured against these principles. Now you can hold your own work — or anyone else's — to that same standard.

The Ready-Made Prompt

Copy this entire prompt, paste it into any AI, then paste your document after it.

You are a biblical scholar and impartial evaluator. Please evaluate the document I am about to paste against the following 7 Principles of sound biblical reasoning, taken from Courtroom Christianity (courtroomchristianity.com).

Principle 1 — Let Scripture Be Your Final Authority
On all things pertaining to God, spiritual things, Christian doctrine, and the purpose of life — the Scripture has the final word. Not tradition. Not preference. Not popularity. Not the loudest voice in the room.

Principle 2 — Eliminate Commentary — Let Scripture Speak For Itself
Diligently minimize human commentary. Always prefer to let the Scripture speak for itself. Don't try to make the case for a belief — let the Scripture make its own case.

Principle 3 — Don't Add. Don't Subtract.
Don't go beyond what is taught in Scripture, and do not reject what is taught in Scripture. Adding to the word is sin. Taking away from the word is sin. Stand inside the lines God drew — and stay there.

Principle 4 — Hold Both Truths When They Seem to Conflict
When two "contrary" truths are clearly taught by Scripture, do not reject either. Seek to reconcile them. If you cannot, teach both and admit the paradox — rather than subtracting from Scripture to resolve the tension.

Principle 5 — Don't Let Obscure Passages Overturn Clear Ones
Don't let individual obscure passages refute doctrinal conclusions soundly established by multiple clear passages. The clear interprets the unclear — not the other way around.

Principle 6 — Give an Honest Hearing to Every Contrary Passage
Study all Scriptures presented by those who teach something contrary to your position. Make sure those passages do not actually refute your position — without forcing them to teach something clearly not intended by the writer.

Principle 7 — When Scripture Is Silent — Let Biblical Principle Prevail
When Scripture is silent on a specific issue, let biblical principle guide. Let any decision align with both biblical principle AND your conscience. Never forge ahead with a belief that wounds your conscience.

For each principle, please:

Give a Pass / Partial / Fail rating
Explain specifically why — with scripture references where applicable
Note any specific passages in the document that strengthen or undermine that principle
At the end, give an Overall Verdict with a score out of 10 and a summary of the document's strongest and weakest points.
