Bible Question (short): How can Christians listen to this? |
Question (full): I have a question or concern that goes with this thread. Why do people so easily accept the false as truth? As I have said I have seen men teach heresy but use the name of Jesus frequently and have people accept them as men of God. I have asked a listener that was enthralled with such a speaker about what he said and even after showing them the error that he taught, I had them defend and deny that it was so. They either say, “Well I didn’t hear him say that.” Or they say, “He really didn’t mean it that way, you took what he said wrong.” I know genuine Christians that can listen to junk and never hear it. How does that happen? If you question them as to whether they believe a particular falsehood they will instantly say no, yet they just listened to a speaker preach it and they love him. How can that be? |
