AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately--behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; |
Bible Question: Has anyone read "The Purpose Driven Life" by pastor Rick Warren ? Is this book biblical or not? |
Bible Answer: One concern I have with this book is on the bottom of page 58. "I invite you to bow your head and quietly 'whisper' the prayer that will change your eternity". It then says, "If you meant that prayer congradulations! you are now a Christian". It seems like kind of an extremely weak conversion experience, especially when comparing it to scriptures that speak of counting the cost to be a Disciple of Jesus and of true Repentance that leads to salvation. I've heard it called easy believism. Just an opinion. arrow1 |
