It isn’t all that difficult today to find those who say, “God told me.” Just turn on the television. This article ridicules such nonsense and explains how the Holy Spirit does and does not work within True Believers. It also looks at the Believer’s responsibility to protect God’s Spirit.
This article delves into the parabolic imagery related to the message concerning “The House.” It is based on the premise that something that looks, walks, and quacks like a duck is most likely a duck. The same principle applies to the “false prophets” that Jesus warned against. Those who seek to know the Truth had best reject their “sand” in favor of the “Rock” that was “laid” as the “cornerstone” of a “foundation” upon which God is “building” a new “house” for Himself.
This column ridicules those who apply the “cult” label to someone just for distributing information that contradicts the lies they prefer to believe. The point made is, God judges individuals, not groups. Those who join cults and blindly follow some cult leader are trying to avoid responsibility for their own beliefs. But those in the mainstream Church are doing exactly the same thing. They all let someone else do their thinking for them. And rather than trying to keep Pretenders out of the Church as the Early Church did, the leaders of the Church today are doing exactly what every cult leader does: They are trying to keep everybody in. That sometimes goes so far as to “de-program” those who get caught up in cults. Now who’s using mind control?
