Bible Question: I guess what I was hoping for was a response that would focus on the charisma of man. It seems lately people are taken with the charm of the man rather than what he really says or does. We have elevated pastors and evangelist to celebrity status and therefore put them above common scrutiny. Could this be the reason we so readily accept their theatrics and never challenge their teachings? |
Bible Answer: I don't go much for charisma or Hollywood. I love for a man to teach and preach the Word and let the people decide. I should be able to question if i desired and i know that is not common but anymore i will check out each teacher i listen too. I don't listen to too many and never watch any on tv. I'm mostly from the old school where you could trust what a person would tell you. These days i check it out myself. Watch, Listen and Stay alert in these Last Days. Jesus will be back after His Church. Thanks for input. Jim |
