I just finished looking at a local charismatic church’s statement of faith. And this is what it said.
WE BELIEVE:
1. That the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are verbally inspired by God’s Holy Spirit, are inerrant in the original writings, are the Word of God, and the final authority in all matters of life and death.
Foundationally there is not a whole lot of difference between this charismatic church and the denomination I wrote about earlier in archived post titled “American Baptist Churches USA – Why I Cannot Join Them”. Both have the same damnable heresy in common which can only fester more heresies. They do not believe they have the words of God. Details are in the fore-mentioned Baptist post, but we’ll touch on a few points just to be fair.
May I ask a question? How can a church say that scripture is inerrant in the original writings and the final authority in all matters of life and death when that church does not have a copy of the original writing or access to the original writings? Just one more question. If the above mentioned church had a copy of the originals could they read it? Oops! That just raised another question. One more time, alright? Thanks. I just said a copy, but that would not be an original, correct?
Now we can see from the above paragraph that when one questions the words of God in the AV1611 there can be no end to this folly. I remember revealing to this pastor of the fore-mentioned church that I believed the AV1611 King James Bible was the inerrant word of God for the English-speaking people untill Jesus came back. Judging from the pastor and his wifes reaction, I could see that I would not be welcome in that church. Now this pastor’s website declares that he still hasn’t found the words of God, and yet he claims to preach the word of God.
The average reader would not notice this next fact contained in the pastor’s statement of faith. The pastor does not even believe the words of God are in the originals because he said the Word of God, and did not say the words of God. This “Word of God” clause in his statement of faith means the “message of God as this pastor sees it”. These wolves in sheep’s clothing only mean what they want you to think they said. Never forget, you need to pay attention to what the words of God (AV1611) say, not what some preacher says they mean or teach!
Davy, WELCOME aboard the Ezekiel Express. Thanks for all your comments. Look forward to hearing from you in the future. God Bless.
I had a similar discussion with a preacher who says the niv or nkjv is just another modern day version . I said how can you preach out of bible that omits/deletes the WORD of the Lord / or ADDs too it ? Satan has brought these water down versions forth .. And many are being deceived , niv completely deletes 16 verses out of there. Book ? The nkjv has a symbol of a trimetrix on the cover , same symbol the occult book of shadows has on it ; alexester Crowley occultist / satanist brought forth the secret book of shadows and has infiltrated into the church denominations ?? Jesus was right in the last days there shall come a great falling away. And many will be deceived . We are living in the great apostasy spoken by our Lord : the end is near no doubt :
Amen brother Ray expose these liars
