Why on earth you, Linear, are still on this Forum is a mystery to me, that's for sure. I honestly wish you'd get "BANNED", as did MOST of your former Evo/Creation buddies!
I guess I provide some sort of entertainment value.
You don't even know how to read, let alone interpret Scriptures of God's Holy Words. You asked me, "Do you really think you are confounding me?" Good grief, can't you even SEE that Person, is the CREATOR of this Universe speaking to YOU, Linear!!?
I knew what the quote was. You were using it to put me in the place that you think I deserve to go.
Then on post #50072 - You stated "There is no set "doctrine" for a Christian who accepts the theory of evoution. I happen to follow most of the doctrines of the Assemblies of God...so I guess you could say that is my particular doctrine."
Ah-Hah! Now we are getting somewhere.
Surely you wouldn't mind if I present your "beliefs" to my son, who happens to be a licensed Pastor/Preacher of an Assemblies of God Church? (The Lord is my witness), He is my son of my FLESH, not just spiritually, by the way....don't want you to twist that one all around.
Does he also believe that treating people poorly is a means of getting them to come to you when they need help?
You are truly the most confused, double minded, mixed up person I know on this forum.
I have scrolled backwards, and found several of your posts even denying the 'faith' altogether. Then you join in with the LDS/Mormon Church, which if you have any discernment of the Holy Word, would know THAT belief is total BLASPHEME! Don't ask me anymore questions, read all those posts for yourself!
You are wasting your time and this forum's time with your unending contradictions of YOURSELF!
Mistakes of the past cannot be forgiven in your doctrine I guess.
Pastor Charles Stanley is an anointed Pastor/Preacher of the Word of the living Christ Jesus.
Because no pastor has ever been wrong, we should not question Dr. Stanley.
And for your information, he is indicating BOTH SPIRITUAL and FLESHLY sides to his statements. Of course....you can't discern that?
Ok...something on topic. So what, specifically, is the problem that he is addressing spiritually?
What are the fleshly problems that he is concerned about in his statement?
Linear, I boast not in myself but in the Lord Jesus Christ, I have been walking with my Lord Jesus for over 23 years....He alone knows my heart.
I never questioned your sincerity.
No, I'm not angry, Linear. As I said, I don't know whether to laugh or JUST PLAIN FEEL SORRY FOR YOU/ I pity you, a man so ignorant of Spiritual things, yet with the audacity to come over to the Bible Forum and start criticizing God's Holy Word /Pastor Stanley. (of course you will deny this)
I don't equate everything that Pastor Stanley says with God's Holy Word. If you could point out where in this thread I have questioned God's Holy Word, it would be easier to accept your criticism.
One day we all, (even you) will stand before the Creator of this universe and give an account for every idle word we have thought/spoken/typed, etc, etc. JESUS IS LORD! JESUS IS LORD!
When we do, I can only say that I tried to follow the Word as I understood it. If God wants me to understand it in the same way that you do then it is up to Him to have the Holy Spirit reveal it to me that way. That is one of the jobs of the Spirit isn't it?
With little exception, your post was an attack against me personally. While I admit that a little tit-for-tat sniping is acceptable, I don't think you are supporting your position very well by making holy proclamations about my status as a Christian or sinner.
I realize this is a forum and not a debate site. You may feel that you should be able to declare the perfect insight of Dr. Stanley without any disagreement. However, some do disagree or at least feel that bare statements such as his need to be explored further. Dr. Stanley does not hold the corner on the interpretation of the Bible or U.S. History and his declarations are not holy writ.
He says there is a problem but does not define it adequately, leaving it up to his loyal followers to define it for themselves. Additionally, he offers no solution beyond "following God's instructions" and "getting involved". Totally inadequate and deserving of questioning.
