sorry I saw pharisee and then had Jesus on my mind. There were not technically any Christians at that time.Andrew said:There were no Christians in Paul's time??
It has to do with church discipline and one of the big things that concerns is proper theology and doctrine. You asked how he has hurt me personally I say that it does not always have to do with someone hurting me personally but with someone hurting the body of Christ in some way. Now I agree that one needs to be somewhat close to the situation or person in some way to do this but it does not have to be about how someone hurt you personally. Oh and many have gone to him already. If you read all of Matt. 18 there is a progression. He is far beyond that stage. Personally I think he is at the stage of nonfellowship.Andrew said:Mat 18 says if a brother (note this is also pre-cross) has trespassed you, go direct to him and settle it with him. So, how has Kenneth Hagin trepassed you? Have you even gone to see him one on one first? This has to do with personal disputes, not minister attacking minister. Anyway, if you want to use Mat 18, then I suggest you follow it properly and go see whoever offended you.
true that is why there is a progression.Andrew said:What is false teaching to you may not be false teaching to others.
It matters what I am teaching. And BTW you have the right to call me whatver but you have to back up your claim. I believe the oponnents to the WOF movement can back up their claims. Although I do not know if all WOF teachers are heretics but just wrong about certain parts of their theology.Andrew said:What you preach here may be "false" teachings in the charismatic forum or catholic forum, and vice versa. But does that give me a right to tell everyone you are a heretic and false teacher?
Well I take people as individuals so I do not try to put all people in one group. Hagin and Copeland are in a different category than you or I am because they are larger leaders. But my main point is that I have dealt wiht you andquaffer before about this and I was very direct with you about it. Oh and again sometimes the least loving thing is not rebuking someone. It would be like being a cop and not giving anyone speediing tickets because you want to love them. Not saying I am a spiritual cop. It is just an analogy of my point that sometimes the more loving thing is the stern thing.Andrew said:If you dare to label the late brother Hagin as a heretic, how is it you dont come into the charismatic forums and start calling all those there like myself, disdaskalos and quaffer false teachers? for we believe much of the WOF teachings. Why dont you warn others here about us too? Call us heretics, false teacher, sheep in wolf's clothing etc and do it in love, if you can.
Again it is clear that we have vastly different definitions abot what constitutes an attack on someone.Andrew said:Again, I say, correct the doctrine if you want to, but dont attack other fellow Christians just becos you think that your doctrines are right and others are wrong.
I will not belabour the point.
