Bible Question:
IF THE FAITH OF A MUSTERD SEED CAN MOVE MOUNTIANS, THEN I HAVE THE FAITH OF AN ELECTRON. YOU KNOW THE PART OF AN ATOM? MY QUESTION IS HOW DOES MY FAITH GROW TO THE SIZE OF A MUSTERD SEED. |
Bible Answer: The point of the parable is that the power of faith is found not in it's size but in the exercise; Actually disregarding the wisdom of this world and trusting that God will do that which He said He would do. There is a popular notion circulating among the churches (primarily in the USA) THAT FAITH IS AN ACTUAL SUBSTANCE LIKE ELECTRICITY!. The dreamers who are propagating this absurdity are appealing to the remnants of our old sin nature, a nature that continues to cling to this world and it's passing pleasures. This false gospel, which teaches that we are little copies of God Himself, is man-centered in the extreme. It says that through the manipulation of faith we can grow rich, be healthy and attain perpetual happiness in this life. It is a powerfull delusion when disguised as God's Word. In short it is wizardry and witchcraft clothed in false piety; A wolf in sheep's clothing! John |
