It’s REALLY bad when they pretend to observe Scripture’s authority in theory, but then in practice elevate something else above it.
See: the claim that Roman Catholicism wrote the Bible, as shown a thousand or two posts ago, thus elevating Catholic theology over the Word of God.
See also: Mormonism in general and the claims of being prophets.
See also: SDA and the claim of EGW being a prophet.
See also: Fatima.
Those last three are painfully obvious; they’re trying to override the genuine Word with claims about getting messages right from God.
And yet, people choose to believe them. I’d shake my head if this wasn’t predicted in the Word.
“I’d shake my head if this wasn’t predicted in the Word.”
Amen to that, Luircin. As far as I know, there always seems to be another book that is supposed to help “guide” the cultic person in their religion.
I thank Our Good Lord that we are clear of the serious error of putting Him second to anything. Also, I thank Him that it’s simply putting trust in His person rather than a religion.
