Subject: What about so-called revelation knowledg |
Bible Note: Greetings Earnest, In the spirit of good will I'll allow that you're a "fan" of TBN. I can't doubt your sincerity or motive in that. We definitely have an appeal from the Apostle Paul in Phillipians 1:15-19 speaking to this very situation: "Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will; the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel; the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice." In my studied opinion, I believe the majority of TBN to be a bastion of theological error, promoting "pomp and circumstance" over substance. I don't say this lightly, either. I've watched Benny Hinn, Rod Parsley, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Copeland, Robert Tilton, and Jesse Duplantis to name a few. What they are systematically purveying is akin to "spiritual junk food" as opposed to a solid,balanced diet. While it may be tasty and filling, it is not ,in the long run healthy! Pauls warning in 2 Timothy 4:3-5 stands: "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."
