In the next place, the link in #252 ("HERE") does not take us to Viva's #201. It takes us right to Matchett's own #251!
It seems to me that you have made a mistake worth admitting. This is important for the maintenance of peace on the thread. I think you have gotten too agitated to keep the posts straight.
In the next place, I would be interested in seeing your further comments about Matchett's #251. I don't know anything about Joyce Meyer, but if Matchett is correct in saying that Meyer has endorsed the Word of Faith movement, that's pretty ominous to me. Is Matchett correct? And if so, what do you think about that crowd?
Are you so impressed with Joyce Meyer that you can't believe she could make an enormous blunder? For my own part, I reserve final judgment, but something really foul is going on here. Folks are getting too agitated. And I respectfully submit that you are one of those folks.
Like I said earlier, we need to cool off.
I can admit mistakes. My mistake was a typo (yes, at #252, not my typo of 251); every time it takes me to #201, four times now, to "onedoug" by "viva," top of the page. You said you don't know anything about Joyce Meyer, "but if Matchett is correct in saying that Meyer has endorsed the Word of Faith movement, that's pretty ominous . . . Is Matchett correct?" I have never heard her say that. The more important point, however, I have never heard her say anything against sound doctrine. His attacks against her have been unwarranted and unproven.
