Subject: A FALSE TEACHING? Yes / No |
Bible Note: Figgy Once again your very perceptive. What Graceful really believes conflicts with much of the WOF teaching. Graceful knows the truth, but is being caught up in the lies of WOF. I believe Graceful was once raised with or was taught sound Biblical teaching. Graceful refuses to accept what the WOF teachers really say and defends them by saying they meant this, and your just taking their words out of context. Unfortunately the more someone does this, the more defensive they become of the overall teaching. They no longer look at it with a discerning eye but rather blindly defend it and eventually accepting it without question. It is kind of like trying to get a child to stop dating someone. The more you point out their dates bad points the more the child defends them and withdraws from you. Soon the child no longer looks at the person discerningly but rather as something that needs defending. We are all suckers for the underdog. I have tried repeatedly to reason with Graceful because I know they know the truth. I'm afraid I may have pushed to hard and now everything I say seems to be taken as an attack. There are others that are caught up on WOF on this forum but they are completely blind having no idea what truth is and unless the Holy Spirit opens their eyes it is pointless to deal with them. However Graceful has hope. I have been trying to get them to read Christianity in Crisis but they are afraid to read it. Their WOF teacher has told them it will steal their faith. Pray for Graceful EdB |
