Principle of Twelve Points
The header image above shows a game of chest which can also be used to represent the "game-of-life" on earth and is an illustration of how each player must consider their "each-and-every-move" carefully because whether they win or lose depends upon the decisions that they make in that game. In the same way human life on earth is comprised of choices and each choice they make will affect the overall outcome and quality of their lives on earth. When people make poor decisions in this present life then this can result in grave consequences for them eternally. Those who make good decisions can look enjoy an improved quality of life on earth and also look forward to rewards and blessing from God after their brief life on earth is expired and they go to their eternal abode in heaven.

These twelve-principles can be found under the following links:

Dividing Believers According to Purpose
2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV)
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
The translation above has application to a bible teacher rightly dividing the word of truth as it pertains to specific groups. This means that some principles are for Levites and some are for Laymen. Some principles are for men and some principles are for women. There are some principles that pertain to all believers in general including Levites and Laymen and both genders.
