Subject: What about so-called revelation knowledg |
Bible Note: Hi Brad, May I say that I like your spirit. You said: 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). I totally CONCUR with that. You also said: Earnest, I can't and won't "edify" brethren that I believe to be apostate or heretical! Now that I might take some issue with. 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. ALSO: 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. AMEN! ... I agree about our own study. About t.v. not being a good idea... that's like saying that we should not indulge in bodily exercise or that women should not wear gold... when what God was saying is that real adorning is that which is within... notwithstanding the efforts a woman puts into her appearance. So t.v. is good... personal study is far better! ;-)) |
