But the problem with that theory is that they are my teachers. I didn't believe and then start listening. I was listening when I began believing. What I have learned has been lead through them. I respect your right not to listen to them. But, I will not try to find something wrong with others. I have seen that do just as much damage. And the enemy is doing enough damage without us tearing each other up. Kelkat |

Kelkat: It is called discernment. All Christians are called to distinguish between true and false teachings using the word of God. The people of Berea did it (Acts 17:11). Paul himself spoke out against false teachings to the Galatians. If Paul is any kind of model for Christian conduct, then it is not out of line for us to question other human beings regarding sound doctrine. Or was Paul wrong to speak up against the Judaizers or John wrong to speak out against the Gnostics? Both groups claimed to be Christian, after all. Paul also told Timothy to watch his doctrine closely: "Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you." --1 Timothy 4:16 Therefore, it is possible for believers in the pulpit to be wrong in their teaching. Should we then automatically accept all that they say? It is not fault-finding; it is pursuit of God's truth. "As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming" --Ephesians 4:14 --Joe! |

Believe me, I know that any one can be wrong...especially those in authority. I don't think it is wrong for you to question anyone, if God leads you to it. The bible speaks often of us watching our words. I try not to say anything. Personally, I find that anytime "I" gets involved, I get in trouble. :) Kelkat |
