Bible Note: Dear fwiaskycap, the advice given by Doc is good advice that will protect you from those who use experiences to gain the upper hand and control over you. They stear your attention away from the written word of God to something you cannot judge properly. The way that cults control people is by these claims of experiences. It is a dangerous road many have lost their lives in following. Even when the cult leaders claims do not come true it is irrelevant to their followers and they continue to follow them even though it is contrary to the written word. It is a much safer place to hold to the written word of scripture not books or experiences that have been added to the Holy Bible. Christ Jesus died on the cross, was buried and rose again. Focus on Christ's finished work on the cross. Look to Him not to some charismatic leader. Holding to Him - Val |
