[[Divinity]], as presented in the religious scriptures, makes claim to the final authority for all [[truth]] and [[reality]], and provides rules for and directions for the use of creation. The question of authority in such a system is "what does God want from me and how do I know this?" The source for answers to these types of questions in a divine authority consideration is variable in the human experience. ''[[Absolutism]] is often the result of receiving what is considered a divinely authored experience''. The common experience of man is a religious history. Methods of understanding the connection to [[divinity]] are multiple, all seem to require some measure of faith in divinity and contemplation of perhaps multiple methods of communication.

For example, in the modern era; the act of observing the [[Eucharist|communion]] or the Lord's supper comes from a combination of direct divine command, approved [[apostolic]] example recorded in scripture, and necessary inference. [[Jesus]] directly states to his disciples that they are to partake of this examination (found in the gospels and rehearsed in the [[First Epistle to the Corinthians]]); there is an example of an apostle and others participating in this act of worship and obedience in the [[book of Acts]], where the day of the observance is mentioned; as with all [[Bible]] references, the reader must infer or understand the direction from God to be applicable to today, and in the case of the regularity of the communion, a weekly occurrence of the first day makes necessary a weekly adherence to the blessing of communion.
