1 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | EdB | 65349 | ||
Hank When I read this my spirit jumped I thought Pastor Glenn had written it and I was excited to see his confession of faith and that he wasn't tied up in WOF. Not that your confession doesn't excite me. :-) Hank the reason I fight WOF is I consider this false teaching to be the most harmful challenge to true Christianity of any lie placed on this earth. In one form or another, part of the WOF lie has crept into nearly every church in America today. God is being reduced down to a servant rather than some one to be worshipped. Look at our worship songs we sing. Over half are now about us and not God. Look at the solemnity and reverence in the church it is almost non existent. WOF is a perfect overlay for our changing society they go hand in hand. Lost of respect in society lost of respect for God. Casual everything attitude in society casual attitude toward God. Everything circles around me in society God is at my beck and call. Humanity is the center of the universe, God has to respond to man. If this tide doesn’t soon get turned and the people don’t wake up and start learning and understanding what is essential Christianity, all discernment will be lost and the church in America will slip to where the church is in Europe almost non existent. There isn’t one WOF teaching that doesn’t sound good, that doesn’t make logical sense, or doesn’t offer the listener something. These are the ingredients that make the teaching so easy to be passed off as genuine. However each is steeped in a falsehoods, that can only be realized by men and women grounded in the true Word of God. We must pray for discernment and study to show ourselves approved or we will swept away by the raging tide of falsehood. EdB |

Amen and Amen, Ed! Well said indeed. The threats to the church are not the atheists, the agnostics, secular humanism or cults that are so far out that they can be readily recognized a mile away. They are wolves who make no pretense: they come in wolves' clothing. But how dangerous and insidious are those who, being as much wolves as any in the foregoing list, come in sheep's clothing. It is they who pander to human greeed. It is they who teach that man can manipulate God, can run the show, can be the master of his own fate, the captain of his own ship. It is they who will not surrender to the will and Lordship of Christ, but who teach that they have discovered a clever way to force Christ to cater to their whim and will. If indeed it is faith they claim to have, it is faith in faith, faith in their own devious cleverness, and not the faith that the Bible clearly defines. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" [Prov.9:10]. But we see today an ever-enlarging trend to replace the fear of the Lord with the foolishness of false teaching. That phrase, "God is obligated" rings in my ear still. What bunkum! What foolishness! What blasphemy! If God were "obligated" to give us what we truly deserve, to mete out the justice that our sins warrant, we would all perish in our sins. The Bible says we are saved by God's grace. The Bible says that God loved us in such a way that He gave His one and only, unique, Son so that, believing in Him, we should not perish, but have eternal life. The Bible calls salvation the GIFT of God. [Eph.2:8; Rom.6:23] It certainly never calls it the OBLIGATION of God. --Hank | ||||||
