Millions were saved from sin by the revivals started by Wesley and his contemporaries and this ignorant man has the gall to call that evil.

And what's weird is that so many people believe what this bone-head says just because he says it...

From the post:
Wesley was a good and sincere man, but he was mistaken in his notion of Christianity. It was evil that he should have created a further sect.

Millions upon millions of people have turned to Jesus and accepted Jesus as their Savior thru the preaching and teaching of John Wesley...Anyone who claims John Wesley taught a phony Christianity or started an evil sect has to be a child of Satan...

Yet because he and his followers were sincere God blessed their goodwill in many things, drawing good from their work in spite of the undoubted evil of preaching erroneous doctrines as if they were indeed the true doctrines of Christ.

And this is one ignorant statement...God blessed the work of an evil religion because they were sincere??? What ignorance...

The author apparently knows of God...But he doesn't know God...

“Yet because he and his followers were sincere God blessed their goodwill in many things, drawing good from their work in spite of the undoubted evil of preaching erroneous doctrines as if they were indeed the true doctrines of Christ.”

I just this morning read the part of CS Lewis’ “The Great Divorce” that dealt with the White Ghost (a soul visiting heaven from hell), and he made this very argument: if I have a sincerely held position, God will bless it no matter whether it contradicts Scripture. What a complete tragedy that a leader in the Catholic Church makes the very same argument.
