Bible Question:
YOu said preaching healings miracles etc is not preaching Christ. What do you say is preaching Christ then? And no Hagin is not the 'granddaddy' of the faith movement. Jesus Christ is. He is the one who said if you say unto this mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea and shall not doubt in your heart but believe those things you say shall come to pass you shall have whatsoever you say. ( Mark 11:23 ) Jesus is the one who said that whatever we give up for his sake and for hte gospels sake in this life, we shall receive a hundredfold return in this present life ( Yes that does mean 100 return on money invested as well as everything else you sacrifice for his sake and for the gospels sake because ) and we do recieve the 100 fold return in this present life and life everlasting in the one to come ( Mar 10:29 - 30 ) So please tell me, what do you consider is preaching Christ?

Bible Answer: Greetings Mitch! What is 'preaching Christ'? 1 Cor. 1:20-25 answers this question: "Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength." 2 Cor. 4:5 says, "For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake." 1 Cor. 1:17 - "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power." So, preaching the gospel, the cross, and the Lordship of Christ is preaching Christ. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
