Bible Note: Hank, it's Colin. I read the Forum from time-to-time but rarely want to contribute. In this case, however... I met 2 former WCG people. Their church busted up a few years ago because someone in authority finally had the guts to question Armstrong's tweaked-out doctrine and actually go read the bible. These 2 people gave me a book by the son of the last WCG Big Kahuna (post Armstrong), which described his father's awakening to the Gospel truth and the resultant, explosive breakup of the WCG. It was a nasty ride all the way: name-calling, threats, tears and the like, but the Holy Spirit brought a lot of people out of there. I don't think this goodnewsminister guy is a remnant of the WCG fanatical faithful, but he has a definite JW style, anti-hell jones working on him big-time. For most cults, and religion in general (Islam excepted here), hell takes a holiday so that Jesus can be demoted from the Son of God to a man, "a" god, an angel, a prophet or some post-facto allegorical device. Without hell you can deny the cross and call Jesus whatever you will. All religions do this to Him (Mohammed even said if you don't, you WILL go to hell!); and all religions suppress God's central work in unrighteousness: that Jesus died, in large measure, to save us from the wrath to come: 1 Th 1:10)...and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come. (NASB). There's been a lot of trash-talk in here lately |
