Bible Question: What specific teaching needs correcting using this passage of scripture? I ask the question because I do not want to make assumptions as to what teaching you are referring to :) |
Bible Answer: mbooker, Be warned that this is a subject that some on this forum hate. Any study of faith healing or miracles of faith is labeled by some as giving credibility to Word of Faith theology. It is said that Word of Faith teachings today 1. tries to tell God what He must do for us. 2. says that our words are containers that give us power to change reality whether God wants us to or not. 3. says simply "name it and claim it" prosperity. 4. says to pray "thy will be done" is a sin. Even after I denied all of these teachings, I have been accused of being stubborn and ignorant for not reading more books about these false teachings. I chose Matthew 14:29 as a starting scripture in hope that proper interpretation (Jesus' faith teaching) would dispel false interpretation (Word of Faith). By studying the proper interpretation we should "become so familiar with the truth, that when a counterfeit looms on the horizon, it will be easy to spot." Enter this thread at your own risk.
