Subject: A FALSE TEACHING? Yes / No |
Bible Note: LDS: Several meanings of faith appear in the New Testament. [1] Faith is viewed as an intellectual acceptance of spiritual truths (James 2:19). [2] Faith is the fundamental doctrinal content of Christianity (Jude 3). [3] Saving Faith rejects all confidence in human effort and relies on Jesus Christ alone to give to sinful man a right relationship with God. (Phil. 3:2-9). ..... You say to John Reformed: "You think that faith for healing, finances and happiness is nonsense. I say that you are ignorant of the word of God and you are being deceived. I have used my faith to make my finances grow and I have used my faith to heal my body and keep it healthy." ..... Now, please consider a few questions. [1] Where did you learn that faith is a tool to be used as a servant of man's will to enhance his financial status? What makes you think John Reformed is ignorant of Scripture and the victim of deception, and how would you go about proving your serious accusations against this Christian by solid scriptural evidence? Where does Scripture empower us to "use" faith in order to satisfy our greed for money? Where does Scripture guarantee that faith brings financial success, physical health, and happiness in this world? If you engage in posting such adamant statements on faith as you made in your Post 93306, and stoop to accusing a Christian of being not only ignorant of Scripture but a victim of deception, it would seem highly desirable for you to back up your statements and your accusations with something more than opinion based on hot air. You did not cite a single scriptural reference in your entire post. I don't know what John Reformed thinks of your post, but I quite frankly think it is not only an outrageous string of words but one that falls well without the category of personal abuse which, by the way, is forbidden by the rules of this forum and can constitute grounds for removal as an active user. --Hank |
