I'm not sure I would give him as much credit as others are doing. He is a mortal man...not one of the disciples. God may give him direction...or he may be an accomplished con man.
He may truly be in an advanced walk with out God...if that is true, then I am overjoyed for his blessings. I have no way of knowing. I will follow my own walk with God in the way that God sees fit to lead me.
I can't judge him because the bible says "Judge not lest ye be judged" Let's not make the man into a God...it's up to our maker to call each of us to the throne to be considered worthy or not.
Great wisdom.
Thanks.
That should have said "With OUR God" not "with out God" Sorry
Nonsense, we make judgements every single day. We are not to judge his heart. But I am to judge his actions, and I don't think we should confuse "nice" with "inspired"
*note: the Bible also says not to sit down and dine with sinners (paraphrase) How would we know if we don't judge our companions' actions? How would we know who is a good friend, or who to trust, etc??
We aren't to judge their "heart" i.e. relationship with God. I don't know his relationship with God, but I do see that he's not God's messenger to us, by his fruit.
