And the thing is, I firmly hold to the ...Prodigal,<br /><br />And the thing is, I firmly hold to the Doctrines of Grace, knowing they are biblical. However, what I've found in the Reformed camp is that they violate Scripture and are quite man-centered. Many of them are pretty liberal pragmatic and won't die on the hill for anything save their favorite author/speaker. That's why I refuse the name and theology of the Reformation (which was a total FAILURE---Rome isn't & couldn't be reformed because its dead and illegitimate). <br /><br />Definitly, the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation for all who believe; first to the Jew and then to the Gentile. ~Fomans 1:16. How many not only don't believe that, they also deny the Person and work of the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />Where's the guts to stand against hirelings and wolves? I think that's what gets me the most. We know wolves will come in, as Scripture says they will. But they come in because the "shepherds" not only allow them in, some INVITE them in and tell the sheep to just hush and quit making a fuss.<br /><br />Most of the "evangelical" churches/ministries have virtually become the slaughterhouse of the sheep, with the shepherds holding our heads while the wolves show their vicious teeth, reading to devour us.<br /><br />And the shepherd woos and consoles the wolf, while the sheep are the problem!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770822482205703050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31664716.post-3897283208591675372010-04-10T09:11:48.244-07:002010-04-10T09:11:48.244-07:00Oh, come on, Denise! Don't you know that Piper...Oh, come on, Denise! Don't you know that Piper is much wiser than you? He can eat rat bait and not die! He lifts up Christ Jesus with one hand and those who corrupt the gospel with the other. He's FAIR!<br /><br />I just don't understand how you can be so against a man who believes we are all human and even preachers can be wrong and still be right.<br /><br />In all seriousness, this should truly wake some folk up to the fact that Reformed Calvinism is NOT the gospel, no matter how sovereign it makes God out to be.<br /><br />The scriptures teach us that the WORD is the seed. Faith comes by hearing the WORD preached. Not by being specially chosen by God, but being blessed to hear the Word of God in it's simplicity, being convinced by the Spirit of God that it is true, repenting of one's rebellion and self-seeking, confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and being baptized into Him. That is the simple and true gospel of Jesus Christ. Teach people what He commanded, make them disciples, and exhort them to follow Jesus from a good and pure heart.Prodigal Knothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414230356322258269noreply@blogger.com
