1 | The APOCALYPSE CODE. | Bible general Archive 3 | justme | 189804 | ||
I. G. T.: May I extend my sincere sympathy for the passing of your wife Teena. This must be a burden that is beyond what i have ever experienced. I do pray that the Holy Spirit is so very close in your time of such grief. I am deeply sorry for your loss of Teena, whom is now waiting at heavens gates for you when you too go home to the Holy Father. In responding to your note, I am writing you with respect, kindness, and brotherly love. Nothing I am goint to state is an attack or ment to make you appear less than a brother in Christ. Over the years I have had the time and distance to look over my own writings and sermons. I have grow in knowledge and wisdom, and I now look back and don't always agree with my self in the past. So we don't always agree with our selves, say nothing of other Christians. As I mature as a Christian, studing the Word, I have had to respond to better and fuller understanding the Word. I wonder what about Hank Hanegraaff writings that you would place on a lower use for that "toilet paper"? Have you a book or chapter that you have read that made you come to such a strong statement? You come out with some very angry words, and there must be more to it than being against dispensationalism or being critical of pentecostals. John 13:34 and 35 state tha loving eackh other is how the world knows we are His disciples. Referring to a brother in Christ works a of less value that "toilet paper" pretty much a sorry thing to say. Hank Hanegraaff has some serious statements about false teachers that say they are "Word of Faith" teachers and preachers. Just to mention those Hank refers to; Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Hagin, Charles Capps, Joyce Meyers, Oral Roberts, Jimmy Swaggert, just to mention a few examples Hanegraaff uses. As far as I have read Hanegraaff quotes the very words that he uses that these people have used. the examples of the false teachings are exactly printed as the person said them. A falsehood is still untrue no matter how hard a person tries to wiggle out of it. It is important that Pentecostalism is not the target of Hanegraff's statements, but the false theachers that draw huge wages beyond belief and shipwrecked some peoples faith. Having read and owning most all of Hank Hanegraaff's books I do see how CHRISTIANITY IN CRISIS, and COUNTERFEIT REVIVAL would make some Word Of Faith (WOF) teachers and preachers hair stand on end. If there followers has been so drawn they too might well not fully grasp the false teaching and or preaching. As for Dispensationalism, There are many sincere believers of this understanding of the end of times. The theory of Dispensationalism was basicly not heard of until the ninetheenth century. John Nelson Darby, a priest in the Church of England who left and and joined the Plymouth Brethern, founded what would become known as Dispensational Eschatology. In Hanegraaff's book, THE APOCALYPSE CODE this is dealt with in depth. SEE NEXT POST CONTINUED |

No information on ministry or her personal wealth is available. 'In the news: She has been dubbed the "fairy godmother of the word-faith movement" and "the mistress of mail-order madness," by the Texas-based Christian Sentinel, a ministry that monitors what it calls "religious deception." Hickey got the "mistress" name for her use of trinkets - blessed cornmeal, cloths, seeds and coins - sent out to followers to urge them to send in money.

Holy laughter was a controversial movement that swept evangelical circles in the mid-1990s. He would walk on stage laughing uncontrollably. The congregation would begin laughing. Howard-Browne would sweep his arm toward the crowd. People would appear "drunk on the Holy Spirit" and slide out of their chairs or dance in the aisles.' ____________________ St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 11/18/2003 (http://www.stltoday.com/) matt2411 |
