Subject: SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH |
Bible Note: Dear WOS, On the contrary, I am not frustrated at all. And my post was not speaking to my experiences, but to judging others, i.e. Word of Faith teachers. My post has been misunderstood. The scripture is totally in context, because although we do not want to follow in the error of teaching out of selfish ambition, we don't want to fall into error ourselves by judging people either. Scripture clearly teaches that we are not to judge others only their actions. We want to teach what is true and not attack other people. The key here is not attacking people, but addressing the error in their teaching. Paul faced the same situation and therefore the scripture is totally in context and applicable. He was making a point that he would not judge them, but stick to his own teaching of the truth in a right spirit. My point is that we should follow his example. Humbly yours, Bows44 |
