1 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | EdB | 66005 | ||
Pastor Glenn It actually is more complicated than that. The Word of Faith movement believes nothing exists until it is spoken into existence, either by God or us. This leads to the teaching that nothing bad can come into your life unless you speak it into existence. Therefore if any bad thing does happen to you, it is your own fault. You either did not exercise proper faith or you spoke it into existence. The Word of Faith has developed a formula which when executed properly makes God do whatever you desire. A critical factor in this formula is the faith one must possess. If the formula does not produce the desired results, the problem is not in the formula but rather in the formula user’s faith or their sin status (they have unconfessed sin). Word of Faith teaches Job was miserable failure. That he lacked faith and sinned openly therefore Satan was able to bring all the tragedy into his life. Instead of reading Job to learn the lessons God would have us learn they study Job to find out how he messed up so they don’t experience the same thing. Word of Faith also teaches God has a human form, Christ was torment in hell at the hands of Satan, that anyone that disagrees with their teaching violates "touch not thy anointed" therefore everyone that disagrees is destined to hell, God wants you health, wealthy, and living in heaven here on earth. They teach God takes the money from the hands of the unrighteous and gives it to the righteous except their most prolific teachers get nearly all their money from the righteous. The teach you don’t have to be sick and with enough faith you HAVE to be healed, then they commonly travel out of the country to seek medical treatments or check into hospitals under assumed names. They live a life spending money as if they were in heaven except their money came from little old ladies sowing “faith seed promises”. These men and women take money from people that have a yearly income of 20,000 dollars and spend that much a month on homes and housing. This teaching is a stench in the nostrils of God everything it proclaims is refuted by the life of Christ and the Apostles. If you understand what you responded to me I’m at a lost to understand why you seem to defend WOF EdB |

EdB, You end your post with, "...I’m at a lost to understand why you seem to defend WOF ." I fail to see what you mean by that. How do I "seem" to defend WOF? Before you answer read: "About Postings Postings should be biblically based and whenever possible include supporting Bible references. Postings are not to be intended as a personal attack on the authority of the Bible or on other users of this forum. They are not to be submitted as an effort to foster divisiveness, ill-will, dissension or disruptions to this forum. Pushing ones own personal and denominational views Please limit, to the best of your ability, the known denominational biases that produce potential strife and undue conflict. Please avoid interjecting obvious denominational biases, especially when urged by peers to cease. Otherwise, it becomes a battle of wills, and only tears down morale and causes division. If we are notified that this situation is occurring we will review it and act as necessary. " |

Pastor Glenn I know you seem to say WOF is wrong but you "seem" to characterize anyone that stands against it as being offensive. Maybe I should read between the lines and your saying I’m offensive and I do apologize if I came off that way. I have never attacked you nor did I suggest you were stupid. I just wanted to make sure we are on the same page and I was confused. Please forgive me if you felt I have suggested anything derogatory about you in any way. EdB |
