Test All Things In The Spirit

[existential mabel]

New International Version 1 Thess: 5:21
but test them all; hold on to what is good,

1 John 4:1-6King James Version (KJV)

4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of erro

 i myself am still learning the art of testing the spirits. and will more than likely use this thread to collate some of the possible false prophets/ feel good gospels.

Quote

Paul Tripp is saying that theology is not about understanding the character of God, but about the needs and comfort of man — theology does not just define who God is, it defines who we are. So the last thing we need is more informational theology about God.

Quote

Author of self-help books intended for a Christian audience, he is a popular and engaging speaker — humorous, self-deprecating, peppering his performances with Bible quotations, and offering clever (but psychological) answers to the common problems of daily living.

We always have to compare with Scripture what is being taught on Worthy. The Bible alone is the Word of God. We must know the true literal Word of God so well that we can detect a counterfeit very easily.

Beware psycho-therapy. It is of little use and can be hurtful to some. Society is riddled with it. It is of no use really, but if you want to hear the words of Freud and Jung and others, read about them and see if they are the kind of people you would like to identify with and who would give you good Godly advice.

The Bible and WORD (Yeshua) is the WAY. Speak to the Lord and Honor His name ONLY.

John Piper is highly regarded as a conference speaker and is invited to address conferences all over the USA and further afield. He is a keynote speaker at the annual Passion Conference, attended by many thousands of students and young people. He was invited to address a plenary session of the third Lausanne Congress in Cape Town(2010), one of the largest gatherings of evangelical Christian leaders in church history. His annual Desiring God Conference in the USA attracts speakers from across the theological spectrum. Such is Piper’s ability to work with fellow Christians that he has even persuaded Pastor Rick Warren, of Saddleback Church in California and author of The Purpose Driven Life (2002), to address the Desiring God Conference.

In Desiring God, Piper explains: ‘As with almost everything I do, the influence of Daniel P Fuller pervades’ (p10). Piper openly acknowledges the influence of Fuller Seminary on his theological thinking. Yet Fuller’s view of Scripture was

 

Dan Fuller

seriously compromised and by the end of the 1960s, ‘limited inerrancy’ was the dominant view of Fuller Seminary. Daniel Fuller, Dean of the Seminary, promoted what may be called a doctrine of the partial inspiration of Scripture.[2] He argued that there are two kinds of Scripture—revelational Scripture that is wholly without error and non-revelational Scripture that is not without error.[3] Undoubtedly, Piper is the product of Fuller’s liberal, compromised view of the Christian faith.

A person needs to know how to examine the Scriptures. Do not accept every teaching on Worthy. Examine what you see.

A person needs to read the Holy Bible literally and study the words. If you have a problem with understanding the words of the Bible then go to an on-line Bible study. One that can be trusted.
