Who should we trust?
I once heard a comment by one of our pastors, "We should not reject everything the Catholic writers have written". What did the pastor mean by that tells us how he views writers that are really questionable in Christiandom. If you have been to the Grace bookshop over the past year, you might have noticed some books by Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Rick Joyner or Kenny Hagin. And I have heard so many times that though some of these writers teaching are wrong "we should not stop reading them in case we missed out in some really good stuff that they teach." If you want to read more about them, pls click on the "Moriel" link on the right.
2 John 10-11 (NIV)
If anyone comes to you and does not bring [the teaching of Christ], do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked works.
Writers who have written heresies are being accepted in our church! I remembering asking a friend in CAMEL about what I feel about Copeland when he came to Singapore. She gave me the same response as most gracious-but-ignorant nice people in church', "but I am blessed by his other message." What message? It was one of those word-faith-name-it-claim-it-thing. I feel that no amount of inspirational can compensate for the failure to uphold scripture, what more teach heresy because whatever that inspire them to teach correct doctrine is also the same inspiration that inspire them teach the wrong things. How can they be trusted? How can we entrust our sheeps to such writers?? I pray that I will not be an heretic. I want to stand up for what the Scripture represent, not some popular writers or movement.
Save our church from harm. Leave no room for wrong teachings. Examine the scripture, be discerning, speak up for the truth!
Who am I to make a change? Who says I can't? I just need to pray and read more to understand. I have so much knowledge, but I want to put them into words. I want my CMs to know what I feel. I want my pastors to know what I feel. I want them to know that I only want to follow God's way, there is no room for grey. There is no compromise when it comes to truth. Coz truth matters!
I don't know enough. I should shut up, but this in my blog, I am glad I have a say in what I feel strongly about.
