But this isn't the same thing as the teaching cited.Glenn E.

Great article here Glen, one that should be read in every church with the understanding that every person "understands" its context before they leave the building. <br /><br />The quote above is exactly the same words I have heard come out of Kenneth Copeland and Joyce Meyer's mouths while researching these people (amongst many others" years ago. The women in my former church name dropped so many people, my head went spinning out the door...and they encouraged me to watch their shows, buy their books, cd's and dvd's, in addition to following their teachings!<br /><br />One woman desired the important role of being our "spiritual mothers...."; guess her day care job wasn't enough for her. And even worse, these wolves are invited into the church's presence through so called Bible studies using their penned and pawed literature. The church goer is then made to feel guilty if you do not attend these classes, as leadership loves to lord over its people....guess their practicing their "god kind anointing." <br /><br />When I came to the truth that God, our Father, gave us His only Begotten Son, not to make us healthy, wealthy, or prosperous, but to save us from my/our sins so that we will eternal life through Jesus......<br /><br />well then, when you voice these words to the "god kind crowd" in these harlot churches, it doesn't take them long to withdraw all of that fake "love bombing" they gushed upon you when you first came to their building. <br /><br />I would rather Praise Jesus in the local dime store with a sister in Christ Jesus, than go to a church gathering whose mission is accumulating "noses and nickels." <br /><br />Where the true Gospel of Jesus Christ exists, there is a healthy balance of Law and Grace, and therein lies repentance and forgiveness of sins.....and absolutely no narcissistic god kind self serving theology.<br /><br />LORD, have mercy and grace upon us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043971967398769903.post-88456341307022426232014-12-05T14:31:36.088-06:002014-12-05T14:31:36.088-06:00I wholeheartedly agree Glenn.

Most of what is in "Christian" bookstore and is published by "Christian" publishing companies has long since been compromised.<br /><br />I really believe they are in it for the profit. Sound doctrine is not financially lucrative enough for the lover$ of money. <br /><br />-CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
