We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Preach the WHOLE Truth


One preacher said that when we present the truth about Christ and pagans do not get angry, either they did not understand or we did not say it right! We should not seek to alienate unbelievers, but we should also not attempt to highlight only the “good” points of the gospel.

Anonymous,

You are banned STILL. Your problem is that you want to call people false teachers for indiscretions like speaking at conferences are. Or if they endorse someone who is flaky.

A false teacher is one who continually teaches false doctrine, not one who lacks discernment in his associations.

Quit being so damned legalistic, and go troll elsewhere.
