Subject: What about so-called revelation knowledg |
Bible Note: Hi Earnest, I appreciate your response, even knowing that we may not agree on this matter:-) "Is it really junkfood?" Again, in my humble, but studied opinion, I believe the majority of it is! "But if you are talking about results, ...fruit and works, I don't think you have anything on them. At least if you do, it would be good for public testimony to edify the brethren" I don't have the ostentacious success that they have, but I'm not promoting serious doctrinal error, either! I'm also not comparing myself. Monetary success and public appeal and popularity are not the sole measurement of fruit and works. Not all fruit or works are necessarily good or will withstand testing by fire (1 Cor. 3:12-15). Earnest, I can't and won't "edify" brethren that I believe to be apostate or heretical! "If the preaching is generally not to your liking... then do something about it." One thing I'm doing about it is to be part of the solution and not the problem by my "no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;" (Eph.4:14). I'm also mentoring others within my influence to be students of the Word through sound teaching and exegesis. I seek out and learn from other expositional teachers of the Word. Some are right here on this Forum! Television, though an extremely powerful medium, is not in my mind, the best source for teaching, studying, or learning the Word of God. We must still seek Him on our own through personal Bible study and prayer. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
