61 | The Problem with WoF in a nutshell | Bible general Archive 2 | Radioman2 | 95027 | ||
DarcyA: Thank you for firmly and faithfully defending the gospel against the assaults of the WOF movement. Along with many others who have replied to you, I agree with you re the deceitfulness and danger of WOF doctrine. I'm just sorry that some of the WOF advocates here on the forum thought I was criticizing and condemning them personally. I am not condemning blind followers. I am condemning the "damnable doctrines of demons" espoused by the teachers and leaders of WOF. Blessings to you, Radioman2 |

62 | At what age did Jesus die? | NT general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 95021 | ||
When He began His ministry, Jesus Himself was about thirty years of age, being, as was supposed, the son of Joseph, the son of Eli, (NASB Luke 3:23 ) What we do know from the Bible is that Jesus was about thirty years of age when He began His ministry. With age 30 as a starting point, Bible scholars who have studied the chronology of Jesus' ministry as given in the gospels have been able to determine that he was 33 years old at the time of the crucifixion. --Radioman2 |

Creflo Dollar -- 'Cult or Christianity? 'World Changers promises financial blessings to the faithful, but many leave disillusioned 'by Rick Sherrell, Creative Loafing, Dec. 6, 1997 '...The message of the "Prosperity Gospel," which World Changers (the Rev. Creflo A. Dollar Jr.) teaches, is simple: "You can be rich, healthy and trouble free. Jesus was rich and God wants you to be rich." (...) 'Of course, the prosperity message is not just limited to World Changers. Two of the movement's elder leaders, Fred Price and Kenneth Copeland, can be viewed on a total 420 television stations worldwide and have published 67 books. 'But some religious observers say the Prosperity Gospel is out of sync with the substance of Jesus' teachings, which emphasizes selflessness and spiritual virtue. 'J.R. Hudson was a member of World Changers for five years and graduated from their school of ministry. But his quest for true knowledge of the scriptures caused him to stray from the fold and persuaded him that the teachings were anti-scriptural. 'Hudson contends that the Prosperity Gospel takes advantage of people who are not grounded in Biblical teachings. It tells them they can be wealthy and always healthy and never have problems. 'But Hudson says the only one prospering is Dollar, who wears expensive suits, drives a Rolls Royce and owns his own Lear jet to whisk him across the country spreading his message of prosperity. According to Dollar's teachings, if he didn't look prosperous, how could he gain more followers? 'Such thinking is one of the reasons both Duncan and Hudson call the movement a cult. '"The leader of a cult is generally someone very charismatic," says Duncan. She characterizes him as charismatic, manipulative and with so much personality that his word carries more than the Bible's -- although members would deny that. 'The other sticky issue is the enormous pressure the church places on members to tithe, or give ten percent of their earnings to the church. Unlike traditional churches, many of which also encourage tithing, World Changers goes further by tracking its members' tithing records through membership numbers and computer records. Those who don't tithe in accordance with the pledge signed during new member orientation are ostracized from the church's ministries. You can attend the church, but you can't participate in any of its official business. 'Hudson says members are also taught that failure to tithe will result in the devil wrecking your car or something else terrible happening to you. Everything bad -- and good -- that happens in a believer's life is attributed to whether or not the believer tithed properly. 'The Rev. Marque Payne, author of "Tithing: The Truth About It," has conducted Christian Finance conferences throughout the South and studied over 1,000 scriptures involving Christian finances. He says that what World Changers teaches is not what the Bible teaches. '"It is literally another gospel," he writes. "The Bible makes it clear that you cannot serve two Gods -- God and Mammon. Mammon being greed and the desire for materialistic things above everything else." 'Hudson describes Dollar as a very sincere, compassionate, strong-willed man who loves his family. "If you knew him you'd like him," he says. "I don't have anything bad that I can say about him personally.... He's very sincere. He thinks he's right. There's a whole lot of people who think that but the thing is you can be sincere and be sincerely wrong." ____________________ (http://www.apologeticsindex.org/d11.html) --Radioman2 |

64 | Is C. Dollar teaching the truth? | Acts 17:11 | Radioman2 | 94974 | ||
Creflo Dollar -- In His Own Words 'Jesus Did Not Come As God And Was Not Perfect! 'If Jesus came as God, then why did God have to anoint him? If Jesus - See God’s already anointed. If Jesus came as God, then why did God have to anoint him? Jesus came as a man, that’s why it was legal to anoint Him. God doesn’t need anointed. He is anointing. Jesus came as a man and at age thirty, God is now getting ready to demonstrate to us and give us an example of what a man with the anointing can do. '....Jesus didn’t come as God, He came as a man, and He did not come perfect. '....But Jesus didn’t show up perfect. He grew into His perfection. You know Jesus - one scripture in the bible - he went on a journey, he was tired. You better hope God don’t get tired. Isaiah 50 says, 50, 60, somewheres says where we have a God who fainteth not, neither is wearied? But Jesus did. If He came as God and he got tired; He says he sat down by the well because he was tired. Boy we’re in trouble. '....And somebody said, well, Jesus came as God! Well, how many of you know the Bible says God never sleeps nor slumbers? And yet in the book of Mark we see Jesus asleep in the back of the boat. (pause) Please listen to me. Please listen to me. This ain’t no heresy. I’m not some false prophet. I’m just reading this thing out to you of the Bible. I’m just telling you, you all these fantasy preacher have been preaching all of this stuff for all of these years and we bought the package! (Creflo Dollar Ministries: World Changers, 12/8/2002)' '- Directly contradicts John 1:14, which reads "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us." Creflo Dollar has the flesh becoming the Word! '- Dollar reduces Christ to an ordinary man who has been anointed, and as Copeland says, even HE could have died for our sins. '- Contradicts 2 Cor. 5:21 "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." '- This is a blasphemous statement and blatant heresy on his part.' ____________________ (http://www.geocities.com/Bob_Hunter/dollar.html) --Radioman2 |

65 | Women Preachers? Yes or No? | NT general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 94888 | ||
You write: 'Then I came accross 1 Cor 14:34-35 '[34]Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law [35] And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 'Saith what law? Is this strictly for those who are under the law? Are women under Grace permitted to speak in church?' My reply: 'When Paul states that women are to be in submission "as the Law says" (1 Cor 14:34) or quotes parts of the Decalogue (Rom 13:9), and when James quotes the law of love (2:8 from Lev 19:18) or condemns partiality, adultery, murder, and slander as contrary to the law (2:9, 11; 4:11), and when Peter quotes Leviticus, "Be holy, because I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16; from Lev 19:2), the implication is that the law, or at least part of it, remains authoritative.' ____________________ Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology.

67 | Pre-Tribulation Rapture | NT general Archive 1 | Radioman2 | 94650 | ||
Is there a pretribulation rapture? 'Pretribulationalism 'This view was first known as "the secret" or "any moment rapture." It is a relatively new position which was first taught by the founder of the Catholic Apostolic Church, Edward Irving, in the late 1820's. It was then picked up by Plymouth Brethren pastor John Nelson Darby, and he first preached on it in 1843. It came to America in the late 1800's . . . 'Pretribulationists teach that the return of Christ has been imminent since the days of the early church and that the church will be raptured sometime before the seventieth week begins. Although they have no Scripture that in so many words teaches it, they teach that there are no signs and the rapture could take place at any moment. The seventieth week of Daniel is therefore considered to be a seven-year period of God's judgmental "tribulation" (hence the term pretribulation). This position generally views the seventieth week as the day of the Lord's wrath from which the church is excluded.' 'Prewrath 'The Prewrath position teaches that the true church will be raptured when the great tribulation by Antichrist, inspired by Satan, is cut short by God's day-of-the-Lord wrath, which will occur between the sixth and seventh seals of Revelation, sometime during the second half of the seventieth week. The persecution associated with the great tribulation of Antichrist is viewed as the wrath of Satan, whereas the events that follow, beginning with the seventh seal, are considered the wrath of God. There is another term that is sometimes expressed, "historical premillennialism," which refers back to the teaching of the early church fathers before 325 A.D. who believed that the church would face the persecution of Antichrist and Christ would then reign for 1000 years upon the earth. With the exception of two, Origen and Clement of Alexandria, who were allegorist, they all taught this view. Prewrath is plainly and simply an expansion of this view which was biblical then and biblical now.' (www.solagroup.org/) --Radioman2 |

68 | The truth in Revelation? | Rev 1:1 | Radioman2 | 94525 | ||
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond-servants, the things which must soon take place; and He sent and communicated it by His angel to His bond-servant John, (NASB Revelation 1:1) It is not the revelation of John. It is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" to His bond-servant John. So a better question might be: What is Christ really trying to say in Revelation? AMPLIFIED Revelation 1:3 Blessed (happy, to be envied) is the man who reads aloud [in the assemblies] the word of this prophecy; and blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who hear [it read] and who keep themselves true to the things which are written in it [heeding them and laying them to heart], for the time [for them to be fulfilled] is near. --Radioman2 |

What is Meant by "Inspiration"? "A Definition "My own definition of biblical inspiration is that it is God's superintendence of the human authors so that, using their own individual personalities, they composed and recorded without error His revelation to man in the words of the original autographs. "Several features of the definition are worth emphasizing: "(1) God superintended but did not dictate the material. "(2) He used human authors and their own individual styles. "(3) Nevertheless, the product was, in its original manuscripts, without error" (Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1976, 1978). --Radioman2 |

73 | Where is prayer and Fasting in the Bible | Matt 17:21 | Radioman2 | 94167 | ||
Fasting is nowhere commanded in the Torah. However, there is sufficient justification for fasting in biblical times and, in fact, in modern times as well. ____________________ "Jesus equates supplication and fasting when he teaches that the removal of mountains comes about only by prayer and fasting (Matt 17:21). The godly prophetess Anna looked for the redemption of Israel with supplicatory prayer and fasting (Luke 2:37 ). Before Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for the various churches, they committed them to the Lord with prayer and fasting (Acts 14:23)." ____________________ Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology .

In the New Testament Jesus and Paul declare all foods “clean” (Luke 11:41, Mark 7:19, Titus 1:15, Romans 14:14, 1 Tim. 4:3-5). Luke 11:41 (ESV) But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. Mark 7:19 (ESV) since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?" ( Thus he declared all foods clean.) Titus 1:15 (ESV) To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled. Romans 14:14 (ESV) I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 1 Tim. 4:3-5 (ESV) who forbid marriage and require abstinence from foods that God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. [4] For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, [5] for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer. |

75 | what did "why have U forsaken me" mean? | Matt 27:46 | Radioman2 | 93993 | ||
Jesus did not become a sinner (as some suggest). 2 Cor 5:21 "'sin for us.' God the Father, using the principle of imputation, treated Christ as if He were a sinner though He was not, and had Him die as a substitute to pay the penalty for the sins of those who believe in Him. On the cross, He did not become a sinner (as some suggest), but remained as holy as ever. He was treated as if He were guilty of all the sins ever committed by all who would ever believe, though He committed none. The wrath of God was exhausted on Him and the just requirement of God's law met for those for whom He died." (p. 1772, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997) |

Chusarcik: 'Opinion' (2) reads: "(2) Christ's preaching of repentance through Noah to the unrighteous humans, now dead and confined in hell, who lived in the days of Noah." Your question: "in opinion (2) were you referring to the faithful humans who died before Christ came?" My answer: No, I was not referring to "the FAITHFUL HUMANS who died before Christ came." What I quoted was referring to: "the unrighteous humans," (now dead and confined in hell, who lived in the days of Noah)". I was referring to UNRIGHTEOUS HUMANS, not the faithful humans. Your question: "And that Christ went to them to announce His finished work on the cross so they could have eternal life? " My answer: No, I was not saying that Christ went to them. What I quoted referred to "Christ's preaching of repentance THROUGH NOAH." 'This means that Christ preached [a] by the Holy Spirit [b] through Noah [c] to unsaved people [d] in O.T. times (compare 1 Peter 1:10-11), [e] their spirits being now in prison.' I say again: "The theory that the Lord Jesus, after His crucifixion, preached to the unsaved dead in hades and gave them a second chance is NOT FOUND IN SCRIPTURE' (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967).
