A move of God? Or a lie?
But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 2 Cor 11:12-15

The Narrowing Path 
Saw this on Shepherd’s blog… Having some hot discussion on FB about that heretic view of humans being inherently good…

Ah yes, from the delightful Eric Johnson. I have listened to his sermons before. They could have been preached by Anthony Robbins himself (who for those who don’t know, is NOT a Christian).
Where on FB? I have an account which I don’t use much, but it is useful at times! 🙂

I am constantly astounded at the human capacity to ignore the evidence that is right in front of them. How can anyone genuinely believe that humans are inherently good? Now I am an annoyingly optimistic person, yet despite serious efforts, even I have been unable to convince myself of this extraordinary lie due to the overwhelming evidence before me (both by examining myself, my actions and my motivations, and in observing the rest of humanity over its recorded history). I expect even my atheist friends to be able to use their God-given intellect to see that humans are not inherently good. 🙂
Oh, and of course, that pesky minor detail…the God who created us tells us we are wicked, not good. Not even one of us is good. EJ and his kind are what happens when people preach from The Message (which is not the gospel, but a lie) and listen to deceiving spirits. They say they have no sin, and the truth is not in them. So sad to see it in action.
Good intentions do not a good person make, and quite frankly, I have found that good intentions are rarely as altruistic as some would like to believe. Sigh…

TRUTH AND AUTHORITY?
Where should Christians look for God’s authoritative truth? Should it be the Bible? Should it be the church of your choice or the church you belong to by chance?
The Bible was completed in 95 A.D. when the apostle John wrote Revelation. Who wrote the Bible? Was it God or was it the church?
John 14:24-26 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent me. (THE WORDS JESUS SPOKE WERE FROM GOD THE FATHER) 25 “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all the I said to you.
The words of Jesus were from God the Father and He said that The Father would send the apostles the Holy Spirit so they could remember all that He said. The words of the apostles were God’s word, their words were Scripture, their words were the Bible.
In, John 14:24-26, Jesus was not talking to the Pope, John Calvin, Martin Luther, Billy Graham, Joesph Smith Jr, Mary Baker Eddy, cardinals, bishops, elders, so-called modern day apostles, preachers, pastors, nor any one claiming to speak for God. If the church or theses men as individuals, were speaking for God by new revelation, then, we would have added books to the Bible. There would the books of the Popes, the book of John Calvin, the book of Billy Graham, the books of elders, the books of churches, the book of Joesph Smith Jr. etc.
THE BIBLE IS THE AUTHORITY IN THE CHURCH.
THE CHURCH HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO CHANGE OR OVERRULE THE AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE. THE CHURCH CANNOT ADD TO OR TAKE AWAY FROM SCRIPTURE!

Hi Steve,
Your comment went to my spam inbox, but I have approved it anyway after checking your blog content. I am not sure if you are just advertising your blog through this site, or posting your comment intentionally for the benefit of those reading the Bill Johnson article. I am assuming the latter, so welcome and thanks for the biblical input! 🙂 Sherryn
