1 | Why do some sermons misrepresent truth? | Rev 22:18 | Gilderd | 145531 | ||
Why do so many preachers exaggerate their sermons? They misquote the Bible by using trite sayings in place of actual references. For example, they say Jesus said, “where two or MORE are gathering in My Name, there I am in the midst of them”, when in fact Jesus said where two or THREE. They claim Samson was muscular and only one boar and one sow were on the ark. Does God ignore these blatant lies, or is He as upset as I get hearing such outlandish misrepresentations of truth? Have YOU noticed such in your churches too? Thank you for being honest in your responses. Gilderd |

Hi, Gilderd! As erroneous as they are, too many "Christians" are taking way too many liberties with the Holy Scripture... Just recently, as I was channel surfing, I began to slow down when I noticed that the program contenct was Christian... but I almost got a whiplash as I promptly left the channel: the speaker was inducting others into a special familiarity that he has with God... he promised that God did not mind when we got mad at Him! I don't recall Jesus teaching us to be mad at God nor to disrespect Him... Yeah, Moses challenged Yahweh (most likely God wanted Moses to stand for the Hebrews)... yeah, Jacob fought Him (though not clearly evident, God challenged him to seak high things from Him)... yeah, Abraham tested His resolve (Abraham spoke for the people, never against God)... yeah, Jonah refused to carry out God's Command (he misundestood God's Mercy and was acting zelously in regards to the people's disrespect towards God)... as far as I can recall, every single incident where one of God's servants seem to challenge God, they were genuinely seeking to serve Him better... and every single intimacy (relationship or moment) was originated by God! Today, many intimate a deeper and more spiritual relationship with God than He has allowed to all of His servants, including any whom He has called "friend!" Don't simply get angry at these occurances... pray for each and everyone of them... that the Holy Spirit enlightens them and they humble themselves to God... pray also for those who, in ignorance, embrace all sorts of strange and anti-Christian doctrines because they seem new and "freeing!" God Bless! Angel |
