Bible Note: Hello Doc, "Sometimes the stuff the tares are saying may be interpreted as stuff the wheat are saying." I agree. A serious and obvious problem in the church today. Worsened by those "higher ranking" tares that are successfully breaking down and ruining long-established denominational entities. One of the most used excuses of the day is that of "acceptance". Acceptance, colored with the unbiblical application of love has lead many astray. It's an obvious indication of the lack of individual bible study and prayer; the willingness to surf the latest wave of doctrine spewed out from the organizational reef. Having grown up on the gulf coast and lived several years in Hawaii, I have observed and participated in the croweded rush to catch the next big wave. As a boy and then a younger man, I was unaware and unconcerned that the sharks hunt close to shore. The importnat thing was the thrill of the ride. Like the ocean reef broken off and imbeded just beneath the skin, it only takes a small bit of false doctrine to spread poison throughout the whole body. Praise God that the church does not belong to them or us, but to our Lord Jesus Christ. He will separate the wheat from the tares. In the love of Christ, Jeff |
