Subject: A FALSE TEACHING? Yes / No |
Bible Note: EdB: "Why look for truth in a false doctrine? I'm sure it may contain some but why look?" EdB: I agree with you -- why even look for truth in a false doctrine? Why bother? "Meyer apparently prefers to hold onto teachings scraped from the garbage cans of the Word-Faith movement." (THE PREACHER WHO DOESN’T TELL IT LIKE IT IS: THE TRUTH TWISTING AND TALL TALES OF JOYCE MEYER by Paul R. Belli and G. Richard Fisher. (http://www.pfo.org/preacher.htm)) Perhaps at times one will find a little edible food in a garbage can. But we don't go scavenging among garbage cans looking for a mere scrap of truth when God has prepared for us a feast in His Word. Every cult mixes a little truth in with their heretical teachings. It's like the old "bait and switch" advertising scam. Or it is like what Eve said in Genesis 3. When tempted, Eve said, "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die" (Ge 3:3). God did not say anything about not "touching" the fruit of the tree. He did NOT say "neither shall ye touch it." What God said was, "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (Ge 2:17). There was some truth in what Eve said -- "Ye shall not eat of it." But then in an attempt to sneak it in under the radar, she said, "Neither shall ye touch it." EdB, you've been doing a commendable job of defending the truth. Grace to you, Radioman2 |
