He’d be blessed to understand the Word became flesh.
literally..
‘Sanctify them in your Truth. Thy Word is Truth’
-Jesus in John 17.
for 2,000 years, or 2,000 swine, it has been happening in the kingdom.. leaven, leaven, leaven..
This stanley guy may not realize how close he is to ‘Christianity’ being a house of cards, though.
But it isn’t the Word to blame..
from the article, he appears to have a problem with Israel’s exodus.
If he studied Israel in the wilderness, he would understand why Jesus used 30,60,100 in His Parable.
and why pastors like him are absolutely doomed to die in the wilderness..
mercy to him and his flock..
This is pastor Charles Stanley’s kid, btw.
Before we throw Stanley under the bus, we should hear from him directly. If the gist of his argument is that evangelism should not be focused on “proving the Bible”, then he is certainly correct.
Evangelism is not the process of proving the Bible, and THEN presenting the Lord, Jesus Christ as Savior of the World. Instead, it is the process of presenting Jesus as Lord employing the Bible, which is the Word of God, in the defense of your assertions.
Once a Christian appeals to the Bible as the source of truth, it will be met with objections about the veracity of the Bible. That Christian should be prepared to defend the veracity of the Bible. But at some point, the discussion has to be brought back to Jesus.
I suspect that what Stanley actually said was that those who we evangelize can bring a myriad of objections based on their disbelief in the Bible as the Word of God. While defending the veracity of the Bible, the Christian should be prepared to move the discussion back to the person of Jesus Christ, which is the proper focus.
Hey heretic, we’re living in the end times. that part about the dead walking the earth-—The walking dead, biggest tv show on now, diseases, we got new ones and some good oldies making a comeback, that dragon in the sea with 7 heads-—That’s a nuclear submarine launching it’s missiles.
When he invited Michelle Obama to speak at his “church” back in around ‘08, he went into whack job category for me. (I think the invitation was later withdrawn; not sure.) My nephew goes to that church.
And yet, when confronted by Satan, Christ only quoted the Scripture.
He only has his position because his father is Dr. Charles Stanley.
I feel for his father; Dr. Stanley must be grieved to his heart and soul to see what has become of his son.
Stanley doesn’t understand the difference between a God and a man.
They are not on an equal footing, Stan.
Like the shepherd with the sheep, the shepherd has life/death prerogatives over the sheep.
Little Andy should go get a real job.
Defend the Bible? I would as soon defend a lion! Unchain it and it will defend itself.
- C.H. Spurgeon
Yes, it’s all or nothing. And Andy’s on the ‘nothing’ side of the equation.
This guy needs to read the entire book of Job, wherein Job demands God's answers to his questions.
God has an answer to Job (Job 38) and it would behouve Stanley to read and understand what God tells Job is also intended for lightweight, pretend believers, like himself!
You do have to be able to read.
If the Bible is not the foundation of Christian faith, what is?
Without the Bible, how do we know about the Resurrection? the apostles and witnesses of Jesus’ life, and those that learned from then are long gone.
without the Bible, all we have are folk tales.
#1 sign of “last days” before Jesus Christ’s return in Matthew 24 is “false teachers”!
øbamic preacher. IOW: islamist facilitator.
I think it was Corrie Ten Boom that said, the Bible says it, I believe it and that settles it. That is my defense. No other explanation is necessary.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
When Andy first came on the scene, and Christians immediately swooned over him, I wondered to myself why I just never felt in my spirit that he was “honto”, as they say in Japan. Now I know.
