Subject: A FALSE TEACHING? Yes / No |
Bible Note: Graceful You said, "What does this verse say? Without faith we can receive nothing from God. To establish this principle first is critical to understanding WOF teaching." Do we not receive life from God before we have faith? Do we not receive breath from God before we have faith. Was not the ten lepers healed without faith? Explain now Lazarus was exercising his faith before Jesus called him forth from the grave. How about the dead son of the widow, explain how his faith enabled Jesus to call him back from the dead? How about the man whose bones were thrown on top of the prophets Elisha’s and was immediately brought back to life. Were not the disciples saved from the raging sea even though they had not faith in fact they were asking Jesus if he cared if they died or not. Did not Moses see the burning bush before he had faith? Read 1 Kings 13 there is a story of a young prophet and an old prophet God wrought many things in both their lives and both were is disobedience and out of faith with God. God gives us many things without us exercising our faith, look around and see the wonders of God, it is everywhere given to both the faithful and faithless. As you said to establish this principle first is critical to understanding WOF teaching. Just as I have demonstrated this principle is untrue and since this is foundational to WOF teaching we can also know WOF teaching is in error. EdB |
