Bible Note: Just take their word for it? Repost: Note originally posted by Radioman2 Tue 04/22/03, 11:16am [In the following repost the word "you" does not mean you personally. It refers to the person to whom this Note was addressed on 04/22/03. --Kalos] 'You write: "They encourage others to just take their word for it that these teachings are unscriptural, and heretic creating fear in them." 'Just take their word for it? 'Anyone with an understanding of basic Bible teaching would know WOF teachings are unscriptural merely by reading them in the words of the teachers themselves. 'In my postings regarding Copeland, Meyer, Hinn, etc., their very words are quoted. Then each quote is footnoted giving the name of the article, book or TV program in which Copeland and others spoke those words. Before you make a statement like the one above, you need to look at the quotes and footnotes. If you did, then you would see that I am not encouraging others just to take my word for it. 'In light of the fact of the inclusion of footnoted quotes in the very words of WOF teachers, your accusation is false and unfounded. 'What about you? Do you encourage others to just take your word? I have seen little or no evidence to support your defense of WOF leaders. 'You write: "They encourage others . . . to read books which talk 'about' the teachings rather than imparting to the seekers to search the scriptures, compare understanding and then ask the Holy Spirit for the revealed spiritual truth." 'Wrong. The recommended books do indeed encourage seekers to search the scriptures, compare understanding and then ask the Holy Spirit for the revealed spiritual truth." 'You write: "Purhaps some will begin to reason scripture more and allow the Spirit of God to do the rest." If people relied upon the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit and reason, they wouldn't fall for WOF teaching to begin with.' Radioman2 |
