Bible Question (short): Who sets the standard? |
Question (full): Could you elaborate on "heresy"? Your point 1. What brings a persons doctrine to the point of "heresy". Is it ok for a believer, not a preacher, to buy fancy clothes or pink wigs? I know a guy that wrote a book against the prosperity preachers and he lives in a home that's 3/4 of a Million dollars. Is that right? Or a better question would be, who is qualified to set the standard and say "That is too much money to spend on that"? Most missionaries I know think that everyone believer in the states is too blessed financially and they don't give enough. And most christians that I hear about say that the tv preachers get too much. Where's the balance? And why can't we use the dollar symbol in this forum? it'd save so much time. |
