So this is you personal opinion correct?

Yes, and everyone else in this thread except you. Have you read or considered any of the input from the others? There's enough comments and references to keep you busy for some time if you're really willing to see. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wow1.gif" alt="" />

Romans 3:22-24

Have you maybe thought about the good things TBN has done for this world , sence they are reaching over 300 million people on this planet???

Dear Evangelist,

This is not about whether or not people do good things or not. There are many people doing good things who are not even Christians, consider the man humanitarian operations throughout the world, that reach millions of starving, sick and diseased people with food, medicine and the like.

This is about spiritual loss of balance. Whenever an organisation, church or denomination emphasizes a particular aspect of Christianity; ie - Bible only, or Spirit only, etc, etc... and trust me these things do not simply happen because people are good or bad, it is more because we are desperate to try and solve the ache that is in the heart of mankind. So we want to heal them, and in our flesh we draw from things like Jungian Psychotherapy, Mystical Eastern stuff and instead of trusting God's Word and His Spirit, we make ourselves a pretty quilt of our own design...problem is that these type of things have been going on as far back as certain renegade heretics disciples for Peter, Polycarp and others.

I appreciate what you are saying, and we really need to learn to love and in a spirit of meekness restore such a one's but it will take wisdom and prayer. We must not be blinded by the light of peoples good works, so often these only cover a deeper root that, to be perfectly honest with you, THE LORD SEES and THE LORD HEALS, and will bring His Bride to purity and holiness; 'for unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who try to build it, building everything no according to His word.' (Keith Green)

This spirit of meekness, and forgiveness MUST be accompanied by wisdom, discernment and fervency in prayer for ALL saints, and especially those who proclaim the Gospel. It is Paul that tries to stay the judgments by saying that some preach this message for financial gain, and bad motives, but at least the message is going out. This should not set us back in our comfy chairs, but drive us to our knees as St. James, did until his knees were messed up. The call throughout the History of the Church has been a call, not just to missions as these sweet and tender folk are attempting, but a call to prayer and intercession, without which we are prone to slip into the errors made by earlier moves of God.

Your friend,
