Subject: Which teaching |
Bible Note: Pastor Glenn It actually is more complicated than that. The Word of Faith movement believes nothing exists until it is spoken into existence, either by God or us. This leads to the teaching that nothing bad can come into your life unless you speak it into existence. Therefore if any bad thing does happen to you, it is your own fault. You either did not exercise proper faith or you spoke it into existence. The Word of Faith has developed a formula which when executed properly makes God do whatever you desire. A critical factor in this formula is the faith one must possess. If the formula does not produce the desired results, the problem is not in the formula but rather in the formula user’s faith or their sin status (they have unconfessed sin). Word of Faith teaches Job was miserable failure. That he lacked faith and sinned openly therefore Satan was able to bring all the tragedy into his life. Instead of reading Job to learn the lessons God would have us learn they study Job to find out how he messed up so they don’t experience the same thing. Word of Faith also teaches God has a human form, Christ was torment in hell at the hands of Satan, that anyone that disagrees with their teaching violates "touch not thy anointed" therefore everyone that disagrees is destined to hell, God wants you health, wealthy, and living in heaven here on earth. They teach God takes the money from the hands of the unrighteous and gives it to the righteous except their most prolific teachers get nearly all their money from the righteous. The teach you don’t have to be sick and with enough faith you HAVE to be healed, then they commonly travel out of the country to seek medical treatments or check into hospitals under assumed names. They live a life spending money as if they were in heaven except their money came from little old ladies sowing “faith seed promises”. These men and women take money from people that have a yearly income of 20,000 dollars and spend that much a month on homes and housing. This teaching is a stench in the nostrils of God everything it proclaims is refuted by the life of Christ and the Apostles. If you understand what you responded to me I’m at a lost to understand why you seem to defend WOF EdB |
