Give both good and bad.  Not a heresy hunter one bit.

[angels4u]

There are so many teachers out there good and bad ...

[angels4u]

Someone I know told me she was a bad teacher. I checked for myself and there is something she wrote on that was quite off. I cant recall what it was now though. And Im waiting for a delivery so I cant look it up now. Usually though I prefer just plain studying the bible rather than going through a bible study someone else has prepared. Why go for the teachings of man instead of what the bible says itself?

I agree.....but t the same time I like to know more about Beth More because our church is going to do this "Breaking free" study~~ 

I did study it before and believe I am free in Jesus

 

If God is before me who can be against me?

Thanks OneLight,

 

I found that site helpful to understand some of the errors in this person`s teaching.

 

And angels4u

 

Also would say that I think many speakers fail in these areas too -allegorizing, & `jumping off` scripture to their topic re: needs. I do personally think that people with a desire to help others lean too far to the relational at the expense of truth.  (& visa versa for truth seekers) The`relational` is the big focus of the moment & often other areas get shadowed. It is good to see someone`s heart yet also be aware of personally keeping to the truth.

I was asked by people from our church  to follow a Bible study of Beth Moore about her study "Breaking free". I do not know anything about her,would this be Biblical right?

 

Did anybody read books of her or did Bible studies?

I have not looked into Beth Moore  and her ministry for the simple reason that Scripture says that women are not to teach all believers, but may teach women only.  Evidently she does not restrict herself to women. CARM has researched her and concluded that she is not to be trusted:

 

We must be very careful when listening to a teacher. Beth Moore, in my opinion, is not to be trusted to properly teach from the word of God. She is leading many astray with her approval of contemplative prayer, personal revelations, and faulty biblical exegesis. Yes, I know that many claim to have been helped by her. That is fine, but the experience of feeling helped is not where truth lies. Rather, it is God's word that is the standard of what is good and bad, not if we are helped through the world of pop psychology in Christian terminology. Therefore, I cannot endorse Beth Moore.

My own impression of her, from listening to some of her broadcasts, and reading some of her lit, is that there is considerably more ego than humility there. The kind of ego that makes people good entertainers: lots of emotion and stagecraft, limited real meat of the word. Saying "follow Jesus," but underlying these words is, "look at me."
And this does not just apply to Beth Moore, but to lots of TV and other public ministries, past and present.

 

Billy Graham used to be paid a salary of $25,000, and his ministry's finances were managed by others. How the Beth Moore ministry manages its finances would be revealing, I think.

She's a little too complicated for me.

In the above link, the 'analizer' says Beth Moore promotes contemplative prayer, which is emptying of the mind, thus inviting basically demonic teachings to fill it. She specifically says it is for communion with God, not just letting it go empty and see what happens. This is one reason I would not listen to the author of the former article. I do not listen to Beth Moore myself, did once and was not interested.

You can get book or listen to her yourself with caution, if you already have knowledge on the bible yourself that is.

Thank you so much for all your comments,I decided to go by the Bible without the study of Beth Moore !
