Hello Christen and thanks for your reply.

I do appreciate your post and you taking the time to pass this information along. I know you're doing it with the best of intentions.

I don't mean to devalue human emotions in my statements. I think they are very important and they have an important purpose. However, I do believe that we will be judged by the word, and if we reject it...

"Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles."

—Acts 13:46

This event took place in New Testament times. The word they were preaching, I believe, was the Old Testament.

This is important because so much of the church rejects or ignores the old testament. Furthermore, so many today read very corrupted translations of the Bible, such as the NIV, or NASB.

Few realize that there has been a deliberate, concerted effort to corrupt the Bible through the new translations. In fact, the new translations lend themselves to exactly the kind of theology you are teaching here.

I would highly recommend that you watch this video all the way through. This is the best work that I've seen done on the subject:

New Age Bible Versions

I'm curious what Bible translation you have read from.

The Bible states that these end times will be perilous times, and indeed they are, on many different levels. I believe it's important to know that the seduction of Satan (or his angels, or his doctrines) are always going to appeal to the emotions because this—in a manner of speaking—is our weak point, and he knows this.

This is also why modern advertising appeals to our emotions. You can watch a car commercial and not know a single fact about the quality or performance of the car, yet they appeal to your emotions through visual suggestions.

Our emotions are the first part of us drawn into a situation that we "know" we should avoid. I believe this "knowing" is our intellect; our spirit. It may also be the prompting of the Holy Spirit. Either way, I don't consider it an emotion at all.

Again, I thank you for taking the time to respond and I hope you will consider my request to check out the differences in Bible translations. It's a truly amazing lecture.

All the best and hope to hear from you.
