I don't think I declaimed anyone to the hall villainy, I just pointed out that they were mere mortal men like you and I. They did not speak nor did most of them claim to speak infalliblily they offered their opinion. Some were more qualified than others but what they said was no more than their opinion. Their fruit in many cases of the latter produced a church that is neither cold nor hot but rather lukewarm. They unleashed a tolerant but less holy church. Some would commit a dead unbaptized still born infant to hell for eternity but allow a practicing homosexual, divorced, transgender in pulpit to preach God's holy word. Man has many faults and following anyone man or any specific group of men other than Christ himself leads to destruction. Paul says if any comes teaching a different gospel they are false teachers. Many use the name of God in attempt to make their counterfeit look genuine. A perfect counterfeit twenty printed on a brick would instantly be seen as counterfeit, that same fake twenty printed on authentic paper would fool many. Same way the teaching of many they know if their message sounds like anything but from God it will not be received. So they carefully frame it as Gods speaking in attempt to profit from it. The names you mentioned are all known because of the size of the impact of their transgression. But I submit to that there are thousands that stand in pulpit yesterday around the world supposedly preaching under the anointing of God that are not even saved. They have no idea of salvation because they never experienced it. Even worst many live in open sin and their sins are winked at by the church and their denomination. Some even deny the Holy Spirit. How many more do they impact than all these you listed. |

Hi, Ed... I don't know. Sorry, I am not so much of an expert on other denominations, movements, and trends in religious circles. What impact? I thought that Jesus' words would have been sufficient to answer that... I do not believe that we are allowed to use some extra biblical means. (At least, I do not have such liberty.) So, in keeping with the Word, let us examine the lives of their followers over time and, according to our Lord, it will be revealed, as all truth is ultimately revealed. He Himself stated, "Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children" (Luke 7:35). Thus, when we watch them, what we will see is either the fruit of the Flesh (Galatians 5:19-21) or the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). In Him, Doc PS I can no longer take the time to respond to questions that fail to cite pertinent Scripture or objections that are merely pugnacious. My health doesn't allow me to deal with matters of personal opinion or teachings not rooted in the Word. Also, I cannot just keep citing the Scriptures and explaining over and over their significance, to which there is no benefit. Please do not deem this as implying personal criticism -- the failing is mine alone. |

Why is it you feel the liberty to post quotes with not scripture cited. Are they not mere opinions also? | ||||||

Dear Ed, Well, to be honest, the opinions men who lived Godly and Spirit filled lives in the past, who were well studied in the Word, and whose lives were well examined by the church over the years... just provide far superior opinions. Their least studied opinions will far excel our best studied ones. Although, at your behest, I have quoted men from Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and even an atheist and pagan philosophers or two, I would just as soon quote people in my tradition. Would you like me to find some quotes of people from your tradition? I have already quoted from the AOG position papers. Is there anyone you'd prefer that I find to quote? I guess the question has to do with "mere opinions." When the clear principles of Scripture are expressed in varying ways by students of the Word, then is that not similar to citing the Word itself? It may not have "thus saith the Lord" in front of it, but if it expresses the very Word Christ, then I would even quote Benny Hinn and Jimmy Swaggart! It is the Word that I love! In Him, Doc PS Sorry, yes, let's go to the proof texts. |

Quotes from established and respected theologians and Bible scholars on Biblical subjects are usually edifying and encouraging. However when a quote is a slam against another accepted denomination or their teaching, they are merely opinions of man and to post them as an innocent quote is wrong. My concern is this is becoming a common occurrence. |
