"Reply: to Bob Anderson"
Good morning Bob:
Thank you for your reply. I am familiar with your references to
Tom McElmurry and Les Feldick. When I had "Sky Angel" TV, before
it folded, and went to a subscriber base on the Internet, I used to
watch Les regularly, primarily as a "Theological" observer. After
watching Les for more than a decade, I found him to be a pretty
intelligent and sound expositor. Over all I would have agreed with
him on about 97% of his teaching.
Yes I have read E.W. Bullinger's commentary on Revelation. While I
like Ironsides as well, I do not always agree with everything he had to
say. The interesting and ironical thing about the great
theologians, they all were blind in some aspect of the Word. This
is why I have to agree with Chuck Missler, when he talks about Acts
17:11. We have to keep things Berean style.
I don't particular like the term ultra-dispensationalist because of the
message that it sends. I had a Bishop in the UMC, that used to
tell his pastors, he wished we did not have the "labels" we have because
it created walls for folks. While only somewhat true; my view is
more to the effect fir the need to establish Biblically correct sound
and testable doctrine. This is even more important today because
the Internet provides crack pots a platform to spread their errant
belief systems and errant theology. I immediately think of the
"Rogue theologian" that the prophecy forum posts his videos so often.
He is a Preterist and above all a Kingdom-now theologian. He uses
the term "seer" behind his name, and that sets off alarms in my head
about self-promotion-type narcissist personalities.
Dominionism/Kingdom-now theology are a great threat to the Faith.
They are well entrenched in the militia movements around the
country. Their message brings criticism of Christians aligned with
Patriots. They are a threat to the Christian faith because of how
the government perceives them in the governments comments about
Christian Identity groups they are seen as a threat to the government.
In 52 years of ministry, there is not much that I have not come
across. As I said the Internet gives anybody an opportunity to put
out his "shingle" and call himself an expositor of the Word. From
that freedom available to, it becomes incumbent upon us to not let our
training go to seed. I am trying to ascertain what the purpose or
goal of that other site really is, because they continue to attack Five
Doves and John. When I say that, I do so because of their repeated
bias towards the SDA's, that are continually, day after day, pushed at
the readers at their site. I am highly suspicious of something
more that may be afoot. Why would you give credence to an aberrant
cult when you know it its just that? Either they believe the SDA
teaching is truth, or they are simply attempting to outright lie and
deceive for deception purposes. I have a post that I am writing at
the moment about "Ading and Abetting the Adversary". It should be up by
the time John gets his next postings updated.
When I finish my "Standing in the Gap" series, I am going to do an in
depth series of posts on the methods and strategies of the SDA in their
deceptive practices to attract believers. They boast how much
there church (cult) is growing but never tell you they lose about a
million members a year.
Thanks for sharing. I never intended to post but instigated because of the heresy garbage at that other forum page.
Blessings,
Pastor Bob
