183 | Rod Parsley: The Raging Prophet | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 167493 | ||
ROD PARSLEY: THE RAGING PROPHET ____________________ "Parsley has short-changed us to try to get across his limited view to bolster his false gospel of prosperity and healing on demand." ____________________ ROD PARSLEY: THE RAGING PROPHET “BREAKING THROUGH” HIS UNORTHODOX DOCTRINE AND PRACTICE by G. Richard Fisher 'It is hard to describe a “worship service” led by pastor and television evangelist Rod Parsley. Whether viewing at home by way of his popular daily television broadcast, Breakthrough, or as part of his 12,000-member congregation, his services could, perhaps, be described as a hybrid of pep rally, boxing match and professional wrestling with smatterings of Bible verses and hyped-up claims that take people over the edge of hysteria. It is primal scream set to spiritual aerobics. Parsley is the ultimate cheerleader and professional boxer combined. He deftly and quickly moves people into altered states of unreality. There is no question that he can be a compelling and convincing speaker. Neither does he have difficulty or qualms about hosting the worst of Word-Faith teachers and promoting their agendas. 'Rodney Lee Parsley charges back and forth across the stage of his World Harvest Church in Columbus, Ohio, sweating profusely, railing against the devil in a demonstration of heart-pounding Christian calisthenics and his crowds love it. They follow his lead, bouncing, swaying and screaming. It is raw pandemonium. They repeat whatever mantras he gives them to say, waiting to be smacked, pushed or pommeled to the floor by the “Raging Prophet.” (...) 'MISSING THE POINT 'Parsley further misleads by improperly defining words. He claims that: “The Greek word translated salvation here [Romans 1:16] is the word ‘sozo’. It means ‘complete deliverance’.”58 The word salvation is actually the Greek word soteria.59 Soza is translated “save” or to save, and like soteria can mean a number of different things depending on the context. It can mean deliverance from danger but William E. Vine lays out the primary usages of soza: '“(a) of material and temporal deliverance from danger, suffering, etc., ... (b) of the spiritual and eternal salvation granted immediately by God to those who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, ... (c) of the present experiences of God’s power to deliver from the bondage of sin, ... (d) of the future deliverance of believers at the Second Coming of Christ for His saints, ... (e) of the deliverance of the nation of Israel at the Second Advent of Christ, ... (f) inclusively for all the blessings bestowed by God on men in Christ.”60 'After reading of the richness and fullness that Vine unfolds, we can see that Parsley has short-changed us to try to get across his limited view to bolster his false gospel of prosperity and healing on demand. 'Parsley can scream, shout, stomp, prance, obfuscate and mislead but it is all noise and no substance. It is froth without real content which helps to pump money into his empire. 'By contrast, Jesus was gentle and would not cry out nor lift His voice in the streets (Matthew 12:19-20). Jesus, as well, was truth. No one could be more unlike Jesus in his raging, his legal settlements, his false teaching, his lavish lifestyle and his false gospel than Rod Parsley.' ____________________ www.pfo.org/parsley.htm |

An interminable thread of 40 or 50 posts in which people split hairs over the meaning and application of the word repent(ance) profits no one and is neither necessary nor desirable. This website is not about endless debates. Let's wrap it up, folks. Grace to you, Kalos |

Hi, CDBJ! Actually my estimate was a little off. It isn't 40 or 50 posts in one thread. It's more like 70 so far. There aren't 70 paragraphs on the word repentance in the average Bible reference book. Grace to you, Kalos |

Sayings Not Found in Scripture (www.blueletterbible.org) 'We often get questions by people asking us to locate various sayings in the Bible which do not exist.

190 | Gift of speaking in tongues for all? | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 167907 | ||
"He who speaks in a tongue edifies" self 1 Cor 14: 1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification. Tongues Must Be Interpreted 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 13 Therefore let him who speaks in a tongue pray that he may interpret. 14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all; 19 yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue. Tongues a Sign to Unbelievers 22 Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe. 23 Therefore if the whole church comes together in one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those who are uninformed or unbelievers, will they not say that you are out of your mind? Order in Church Meetings ...Let all things be done for edification. 27 If anyone speaks in a tongue, let there be two or at the most three, each in turn, and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in church, and let him speak to himself and to God. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. The New King James Version (http://studylight.org) |

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered Romans 8:26 King James Version NASB Romans 8:26 In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; Ashbury: These people continue to misquote Scripture in a futile attempt to prove their pet doctrine, their denominational bias, whatever you want to call it. I call it just plain bad doctrine. One writes: "Also in Rom 8:26 Paul says that through praying in the Holy Ghost, or praying in other tongues, however you chose to phrase it, the Spirit helps our infirmites because we know not what we should pray for as we ought." But God says: "...the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered" Romans 8:26 King James Version In Romans 8:26 it does not say that we pray THROUGH (or IN) the Holy Spirit or that the Holy Spirit prays THROUGH us. What it says is: "the Spirit Himself makes intercession FOR us". FOR us, not THROUGH us and not IN us. In this verse (v. 28) how does He make intercession for us? In words (language)? No, but "with groanings which cannot be uttered." Groanings -- not words. Not a tongue (a language). And such groanings cannot be spoken, cannot be uttered. As the Amplified says, "with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance." Unspeakable yearnings. How does one SPEAK of things that are unspeakable? How does one UTTER that which is too deep for utterance? Grace to you, Kalos |

Tim: Thanks for sharing that with us. I did a little research and came up with the following Bible FACT. There is only one mention of the word "tongues" in the ENTIRE BOOK of Romans. There is absolutely NO MENTION of the word "tongues" in Romans chapter 8. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Romans 3:13 (KJV) The word "tongue" (singular) does appear once in the book of Romans, but in the context it has absolutely nothing to do with tongues (known or unknown), languages or the gift of tongues. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Ro 14:11 (KJV) The CONCEPT of speaking in tongues may or may not be found in Romans, but the word "TONGUES" (referring to the gift of tongues) just isn't there. I'm not at all challenging what you posted. I'm merely pointing out a FACT about the actual text of Romans. Grace to you, Kalos |

A miracle of hearing? ____________________ 'But then when you come to I Corinthians 14, it is definitely speaking and not hearing. So, why would you have tongues...why would you even use the expression “languages” if you’re not talking about languages and you’re talking about the hearing miracle?...it is very clear that he’s talking about a language spoken, not a language heard.' ____________________ ['The following "Question" was asked by a member of the congregation at Grace Community Church in Panorama City, California, and "Answered" by their pastor, John MacArthur Jr.'] 'Question 'In the account in Acts 2 of Pentecost, as I read my New American Standard Bible, over and over I come to the feeling that this miracle was in the hearing. I’ve never heard anybody comment on that and I just would like to hear your opinion of that. 'Answer 'There are those who believe that it was a miracle of hearing; there are those who affirm that. There are quite a few who would because they say, “everyone heard in his own language.” I don’t hold that view, and I don’t think that view holds up very well, particularly when you recognize that they were all “filled with the Holy Spirit,” verse four, “and began to speak with other languages.” That seems to me to be a fairly open-and-shut case for a miracle of speaking rather than a miracle of hearing. (...) 'I believe it was a miracle of speaking rather than a miracle of hearing, particularly when you see the cloven tongues of fire and when you compare the rest of Acts and the other phenomena that occurred, which seems clearly to be a speaking phenomena rather than a hearing. 'But then when you come to I Corinthians 14, it is definitely speaking and not hearing. So, why would you have tongues...why would you even use the expression “languages” if you’re not talking about languages and you’re talking about the hearing miracle? So, I don’t think that that really holds up very well, particularly if you want a consistent interpretation of the miracle of tongues in Corinthians; it is very clear that he’s talking about a language spoken, not a language heard.'

194 | Interlinear Gr-Eng NT--please advise | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 168217 | ||
Interlinear Gr-Eng NT--please advise I am shopping for an interlinear Greek-English New Testament. Would anyone care to submit a recommendation and the reasons (both objective and subjective) for your recommendation? The more details the better. I would like to read replies from several people, whoever wants to respond. What I'm looking for is one that includes Strong's numbers, the transliteration of all Greek words, and the text of a word-for-word (not dynamic equivalent or paraphrase) version in the margin. Even if your recommendation does not include all these features, I still would like you to tell me about it. (Bear in mind that I am not proficient in the Greek language.) Eagerly awaiting your replies, Kalos |

196 | Where does it say no sin is greater? | Bible general Archive 3 | kalos | 168288 | ||
Are all sins the same? 'The Bible gives us some guidance on this. It teaches that not all sins are the same. Some are more egregious than others. This is very clear in the Scriptures. Jesus said to Pilate, "He who delivered Me up to you has the greater sin" (John 19:11). According to Jesus, some sins are greater than others. 'Common sense alone tells us that stealing a pencil is not as serious a crime as taking someone's life. Make no mistake, it's still a sin, and even a small sin is enough to make us guilty before God. But all sin is not the same to God. He certainly does make distinctions.' ____________________ www.str.org/free/commentaries/ethics/lie.htm |

Jesus' First Meeting with Simon Peter (From the website '101 Cleared up "Contradictions" in the Bible') Jesus first met Simon Peter and Andrew by the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18-22), or on the banks of the river Jordan (John 1:42-43)? (Category: misread the text) The accusation is that one Gospel records Jesus meeting Simon Peter and Andrew by the sea of Galilee, while the other says he met them by the river Jordan. However this accusation falls flat on its face as the different writers pick up the story in different places. Both are true. John 1:35 onwards says Jesus met them by the river Jordan and that they spent time with him there. Andrew (and probably Peter too) were disciples of John the Baptist. They left this area and went to Galilee, in which region was the village of Cana where Jesus then performed his first recorded miracle. "After this he went down to Capernaum with his mothers and brothers and disciples. There they stayed for a few days." John 2:12. Peter and Andrew were originally from a town named Bethsaida (John 2:44) but now lived in Capernaum (Matthew 8:14-15, Mark 1:30-31, Luke 4:38-39), a few miles from Bethsaida. They were fishermen by trade, so it was perfectly normal for them to fish when they were home during these few days (for at this time Jesus was only just beginning public teaching or healing). This is where Matthew picks up the story. As Peter and Andrew fish in the Lake of Galilee, Jesus calls them to follow him - to leave all they have behind and become his permanent disciples. Before this took place, he had not asked them, but they had followed him because of John the Baptist's testimony of him (John 1:35-39). Now, because of this testimony, plus the miracle in Cana, as well as the things Jesus said (John 1:47-51), as well as the time spent with the wisest and only perfect man who ever lived etc., it is perfectly understandable for them to leave everything and follow him. It would not be understandable for them to just drop their known lives and follow a stranger who appeared and asked them to, like children after the pied piper! Jesus did not enchant anyone - they followed as they realized who he was - the one all the prophets spoke of, the Messiah the son of God. ____________________ http://worthynews.com/ apologetics/101-36-40.htm |
