RE: I already said why it was heresy. I do not believe you sincerely want to know more.

A heresy is belief or opinion contrary to orthodox religious Christian doctrine.

Which then begs the question — what is ORTHODOX Christian doctrine?

We already have the answer -— Beliefs that are TAUGHT IN GOD’s WORD — Scripture.

These beliefs are summarized and formalized in our standard confessions of faith — the Apostle’s Creed, the Nicene Creed.

So, you call James Kennedy’s beliefs heretical, I challenged you to show me where in his teachings or in his public confession of faith he taught or confessed to heretical teachings. You have not shown me anything. You simply made a statement as if that satisfy the criteria. It does not.

So, yes the question demands an answer.

Please learn the correct use of the phrase “begs the question”. It does NOT mean what you think it means.

“We already have the answer -— Beliefs that are TAUGHT IN GOD’s WORD — Scripture.”

Who is “we”?

“These beliefs are summarized and formalized in our standard confessions of faith — the Apostle’s Creed, the Nicene Creed.”

Not exactly. Homoousian is in keeping with scripture but could never be called merely a summary or formalization of it.

“So, you call James Kennedy’s beliefs heretical, I challenged you to show me where in his teachings or in his public confession of faith he taught or confessed to heretical teachings.”

Anything that he taught that was Protestant was heretical. Take your pick.

“You have not shown me anything. You simply made a statement as if that satisfy the criteria. It does not.”

It does. Protestantism is heresy. There is no other possibility.

“So, yes the question demands an answer.”

But it doesn’t beg one.

Like the vast majority of multi-million dollar televangelists James Kennedy worshiped money.
