1 | I need to know if this is a cult? | Titus | EdB | 8424 | ||
Mark Why not wait until you have the whole story? How do you know that the dream was from God? How do you know that dream wasn’t from Satan trying to scare Donnag out of the church? Twice now someone has asked a question in this forum about their church in both cases the consensus of opinion was run, leave, get out. When did Christians become such cowards? The Word says the Gates of Hell shall not prevail. No where in the Bible does it tell us to take the path of least resistance. In fact the Word says we will probably be hated, despised and thrown down. It also says we have the victory! Don’t we have the obligation to pray? Don’t we think God can turn a bad situation around? Too many split from churches, that is why we have so much arguing within the Christian ranks. Quite frankly that is why we look a little foolish to the world. We claim power, victory and that prayer will change things. However when something happens we turn our tail and run. There was a long discussion in this forum on false teachers, this is exactly why there is false teachers instead of resisting we leave. The false teacher turns out a whole church of deceived, corrupted and badly taught disciples and they spread through other churches like cancer. I don’t know anything about Donnag and this church and unless your getting your information somewhere other than this forum neither do you. Did God call Donnag to this church? If God did then he had a purpose, has that purpose been completed? What is God’s will in all of this? Why is Donnag asking the forum instead of seeking God on this? Why are we trying to answer for God? Could God be using this whole experience to move Donnag to the closer walk with Him? Was Donnag sent to the church for just this particular situation to turn it around and put it back in order? Does Donnag have another motive? I’m not trying to be mean or spiteful here and I hope I haven’t offended you or Donnag. It’s I just take giving people advice very serious and especially when it is advice that could effect their walk with God. Let’s find out why Donnag is at the church, what does “curses the people mean”, and a few other things, what brought up the issue of size, and what Donnag thinks God wants to take place? Let’s find out what the problem is, then we can give Biblically sound advice. Most of all it will let us know what the problem is so we a forum of believers can stand in agreement in prayer, believing our God can solve this or any problem and expect to see God be God before us. |

"How do you know that the dream was from God?" Good question. Ed: Having read Sutton's offensive and inappropirate posting made 06-29-01, 1:01pm, I now make public what was originally not intended to be made public -- an excerpt from an email of mine: Mark Sutton has graduated from giving us his feelings (as opposed to Scripture only). Now he is in the business of interpreting dreams and telling us what God meant by them. Personally, I think more than 90 percent of a person's dreams have absolutely no meaning whatsoever. A few dreams have obvious psychological significance and often are self-interpreting. My guess is that 1 percent or less of all dreams should be taken as messages directly from God. (Is not the claim to direct (new and unique) revelation from God one of the errors of Benny Hinn?) No need to quote Joel or Acts 2. Yes, God may speak to us through dreams. But, "in these last days [He] has spoken unto us by his Son" through the Scriptures (Hebrews 1:1-2). This is how God normally speaks to us. I just noticed that "This thread has been temporarily restricted from appearing on the homepage," as it should be. |
