The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Who is John Metcalfe?

I'm sorry, Mark...
But I really don't feel disposed to publicize Metcalfe's teachings any more than I have.

All I will say is this: Metcalfe's technique is typical of false teachers. He takes a verse of Scripture and stretches it far beyond its legitimate meaning. For example, Gal 2:16: 'For by [the] works of [the] law no flesh shall be justified'. Metcalfe takes this verse out of its rightful context of justification and claims that it applies to sanctification also. He then goes even further and insists that Christ's obedience to the law has no significance (See Rom 5:19). The unwary reader, having accepted his first premise is drawn by his false logic into his cultic teaching.

I finally realised that he was actually two verses short of a full chapter when I was reading him on 1Timothy. He pointed out that Paul told Timothy and Titus to appoint elders and deacons and then said that therefore congregations or Presbyteries have no right to appoint such men; only Timothy and Titus can do it. Who is Timothy or Titus? Why, John Metcalfe, of course!

Every blessing,
Steve
