“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.
Yeah. If any religion preaches Jesus-plus, or the Word-plus, be VERY careful.
That’s not to say that confessional statements are bad, mind you. A statement or even a book of “This is what we believe” (such as the Lutheran Confessions as written in the Book of Concord) is okay and sometimes even desirable as long as the statement/book does not claim authority over the Word and can defend their statements solely from the Word.
