Bible Question:
Dear Jensen, Do you demand the same degree of perfection from preachers and teachers of the Word? i.e. 100 percent 'accuracy' and perfection. Or do you simply deny that God speaks through them? This is not *settled,* because you have not said one word acknowledging the 'whole' Biblical role of the prophet in the New Testament. You have only demanded a partial answer, and getting it act like you have made a spiritual point, when in actuality you have only made a trivial point. (Have you noticed that you only answer the questions that lead to your 'agenda?') Are you seeking a prophet? I have shown from the Bible that you can find one that encourages you on your path in the Lord Jesus. I think, though, that you have proven that you are NOT seeking a prophet. In Christ Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: Dear charis...You wrote... "Do you demand the same degree of perfection from preachers and teachers of the Word? i.e. 100 percent 'accuracy' and perfection. Or do you simply deny that God speaks through them?"....To which I reply...the latter. Fraud is fraud. I'm not impressed with a man who says he is a prophet and whom is sometimes accurate. Sometimes agrees with the Bible; Sometimes speaks the truth even if in love. Sometimes gives edification while at other times makes fale accusations. There was a "prophet" in a local church that told a teenage congregant that God wanted him to shun pornography. This man of God did this in front of the congregation. The young man was not guilty, but the prophet of God knew better. It led to the young mans suicide. It was a pretty big story locally. It provided a lot of pause in the Christian community. You can have all the fun you want in the church hall with each other. Lets not have any standards at all. Why bother with Pauls' letter(s) concerning church conduct, or the 'suggestions' for choosing leaders. I really have had enough of this topic. In the future do not tell me that you agree with me and then backtrack. It is confusing. Take a stand. This debate never was about anything other than how to discern a false prophet. I'm sorry we again disagree. I thought we kissed and made up :-) God Bless....Jensen PS. No...I am NOT seeking a prophet, never was, never will be, since all who make the claim to have the Gift are acknowledged apparently without question. Not me. HocusPocusChristianity is not in my reading of the Scriptures. TEST all things my friend. |
