AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 6:37 ¶ "Do not judge [others self-righteously], and you will not be judged; do not condemn [others when you are guilty and unrepentant], and you will not be condemned [for your hypocrisy]; pardon [others when they truly repent and change], and you will be pardoned [when you truly repent and change].

Bible Question: A pastor keeps giving a wrong information in his sermon. For example, one day, he said Oprah Winfrey's success results from her Christian faith, so we should live like her. But Oprah is not a Christian but a new age activist who belives there are millions of ways to go to God or to Heaven, rejecting the Bible's teaching that Jesus Christ alone is the only Way to God. Am I "judging" the pastor when saying his idea on Oprah is incorrect? Should I just "forgive" him for whatever misinformation in the sermon? |
Bible Answer: 00123: Others have given wise Biblical advice, and I can offer none better. My concern is why have others in the church not become as alert and concerned as you? This may mean perhaps you are in a new age church? I am amazed and shocked that some Elder, Deacon, or faithful Bible reading Christian has not picked up on what you have keyed in on. Your alertness is an encouragement for all Christians to be so bound to the WORD (Bible) that false teaching stands out like a "Arkansas Green Thumb". Blessings to you 00123. justme |
