Bible Note: You wrote: "In reading their books, I've noticed that they dig really deep to find hidden meanings in all that is said by the WofF. But they never have to dig so deep with morms jws etc." The Word of Faith movement is not such a "deep dig" as you assert. With people like Paul Crouch announcing on TBN that we are as divine as Jesus himself was when he was walking the earth, the heresy just bubbles right on up to the surface. "However, in the Catholic Church, It's not hard to find numerous doctrinal heresies without having to look so hard. I just pulled this off the internet. A prayer to Mary..." You are not going to find any of the apologists you mentioned defending the theological distinctives of Roman Catholicism. Obviously you have not read very much of them at all nor listened to their radio programs if you think that they are defenders of the Church of Rome. They do acknowledge (as I do) that some Catholics (like some Protestants) are justified before God and some are not. But these men will acknowledge the same thing regarding followers of the Word of Faith movement as well. While the "Toronto Blessing" was anything but, that is not to say that everyone there is on their way to hell. They are just dreadfully wrong about the word of God. "I'm sorry. These are much worse than things than anything WofF comes up with." So because some expressions of Roman Catholicism and much of their theology is wrong, that makes the Word of Faith movement CORRECT? The Bible shows them BOTH to be wrong. --Joe! |
