Bible Note: Dear Nolan, You are right! In no way do I stand in judgment of Mr. Hanegraaff. He is without a doubt a wonderful teacher. He is (also) without a doubt a human being. If he were infallible, we would not need the Holy Spirit at all. There are many good Christian teachers, and it is inevitable that they would disagree on many points. Not one of them has ever even approached infallibility, as this is impossible for man. No matter how many hours of how many days, for however many years a person has studied the Word, limiting God by neutering His gifts to man is unwise. I maintain that all the gifts and ministries of the Holy Spirit are valid and active today, and necessary for our welfare in Christ. I contend that much of the strife and disunity we have today is from both the abuse of these, as well as the neglect of them. While my view of these gifts and ministries is decidedly conservative, to deny them altogether is irreverent. In any case, my friend(s), I harbor no ill feelings toward anyone. This is not the first time you have heard my opinions, nor is it the last! :-) I look forward to hearing your opinions, and pray that I am open to really listen. Blessings to all...in Jesus' name, charis |
