Kathy, Allow me to interject, if I may:-) My major challenge with Fred Price and other WOF teachers is that, even though they may have good intentions, they are, for the most part, devoid of sound Biblically based doctrine! What they're teaching is basically man-entered, not Christ-centered.I believe Paul speaks to this in 1 Tim. 6:3-6: "If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment." Also, your apparent concern is noted when you stated "I know quite a few people who are emphatic that they are in control in Christ and they have the ability to permit God or give God permission when they so choose." Are you endorsing this or condeming this type of mentality? Hopefully the latter! Psalm 115:3 says much toward presuming on God! The problem I would have with this type of thought process is this: It is non-Biblical! To think that we are in control is contrary to the Word of God, to say the least(John 15:4)! Further, where are we told in Scripture that man has any ability to "permit God" or to "give God permission?" This is utterly contemptuous of a sovereign God. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Blessings to you BradK, Sometimes I wonder if people read the entirety of my posts. You took an excerpt from my post which puts it way out of context. How could you ask me, "If I am endorsing this or condeming this type of mentality? " I humbly request that you would please re-read what I wrote IN CONTEXT, I ask this because I note that many here get all sorts of off-beat assumptions concerning my beliefs and motives when these things transpire and then the threads become so horrifically ugly. Please do this for me in brotherly love for me and I am sure you will withdraw your question to me. ***Note: Good Morning Radioman! We do need to be aware of these people... thank you for such detailed info. I have heard of and even seen some of these people, the one that is an obvious give away is Creflo "Dollar" (grin) But are you familiar with Fred Price? I know quite a few people who are emphatic that they are in control in Christ and they have the ability to permit God or give God permission when they so choose. He is no longer at this Crenshaw Christian Center he has built this huge gated and protected edifice on Vermont Avenue in Los Angeles. It is a very poor inner city area, and it is so sad to see the people flock to him for a false hope. He even has his own translation (done by him) of the Bible that is given to his members. If you think the others are way off the mark, you have to read this and please tell me what you think: http://www.letusreason.org/Wf27.htm God bless your day, -Kathy*** |

Kathy, My error! Please forgive me. I did read, and then re-read your post, but in editing my response, I neglected to delete that question to you:-( I hope we're good on this oversight! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Blessings to you BradK, I think it was sweet of you to take another look:) There is nothing to forgive because as you have said it was an oversight (which I gathered), and not an assumption. Are we good on it? You bet we are... we are fortunate enough to be walking together in His Goodness! Thank you so very much!! Speaking in Truth and Love :) -Kathy |
