Mormons help a lot of people in many ways, but I'd not want to praise them for that!<br /><br />You are 100% correct that those who relied on Bill's wisdom were wrong; he has led to many people astray, and has caused irreparable harm to many others.Glenn E.

But since almost all of his teachings abuse Scripture to support them, I would assume the same for this idea.<br /><br />I'm not sure if you are serious or being sarcastic with your last statement, so I'll just say that you won't miss any blessing from God if you refuse to follow ANY of Gothard's false teachings.Glenn E.

Is this one of the non-optional principles? (there are so many, I forget which ones are optional and not miss God's blessing if I choose not to do them.)

There was just something about it that raised red flags. Now I see why. I'm so thankful that the Lord protected me at the time because I lean toward legalism as it is, so it would have really affected me. The people I know that are really into it are people who were raised in non-Christian homes but now love the Lord and are desperate and fearful for their families, wanting things to be better for them morally and spiritually. Too bad that Gothard is such a poor Bible teacher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-87397435500818080882011-08-23T20:38:35.252-05:002011-08-23T20:38:35.252-05:00I purchased one of Gothard's texts at a book s...I purchased one of Gothard's texts at a book sale and read it through.

If doctors must be competent and know the subject at hand, as well as other professionals like civil engineers, why is it that Christians take teachers that handle the Word poorly seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
