Bible Note: Tim here is Part 2 I have never heard that Kenneth Copeland or any other “Faith” preachers have attacked the doctrine of Tim Moran. Nor have I every heard or read any of the “Faith” preachers say they have the answer and all else is wrong. You may be confusing preaching with authority with exalting your own wisdom. Don’t you preach or teach with authority? Here is something to think about. You referred to 2 Tim 3:16. The scripture referred to is the Old Testament because there was no New Testament yet. Those who do not feel the need to be in the word are in need of conversion. I am mentoring a few men. One came to me because He wanted more of God in his life. He was under conviction that he was not doing what God wanted him to do. My role became to open the scriptures to him to encourage him to read them and ask the Holy Spirit to instruct him as to the true meaning not just what I say and to show him how to apply them to his life. It was his choice to seek after what God has for Him. If he wasn’t after him there is nothing we can do. I once had another man ask me to mentor him (actually it was his wife who wanted it) and I asked him to read the bible 10 minutes a day. We met once a week for over a month and he never did read the bible for even ten minutes a day. His choice. One man we can disciple and the other we can encourage. It is between God and the second man I cannot change the second man. God changed the first. I am encouraged by the tone of your answer. I think we need to keep in mind when questions of doctrine come up we should explain the doctrine of our denomination and let God show the questioner the correctness. After all we are told not to be of Appolos or Paul or Cephas. We are of Christ, you and me and all the others. Let us then call Him Lord, Lord and do what He says. |
