She is the one who needs to take a course on hermeneutics
as she grossly mis-interpreted the Scriptures she quoted.

By the way,the reason Eutychus fell asleep was not because Paul was boring but because he had probably worked all day
and because it was midnight.

That’s a classic comment! I laughed so hard I nearly fell of my chair. Could not have said it better myself

I love reading your posts on this site they are mostly honest, refreshing and entertaining. Often they make me smile. However this time I’m a wee bit confused (mind you it is easy for me to be confused!). Here you blame your “post” christianity on Christians not being like Thomas Merton and then on another post somewhere on this site you said Christianity is/should be all about Jesus and only Jesus. Neither Christians nor Thomas Merton will ever save you, only Jesus can do that so look to Him to be revealed by the Holy Spirit in His word and not through the writings or sayings of any man.

Please forgive me if I come across as if I’m attacking or criticizing you – I really don’t mean to and I don’t want to sound trite or patronising but I have to tell you about Jesus.

Blessings.

But then Merton’s an evil, evil guy because he was a Catholic, and not just a Catholic but a monk, and not just a monk but he was for peace, and not just for peace, but he was for peace in a time when being for peace was anti-American, and not only that, he talked to Buddhists and other non-Christians as equals, and didn’t preach at him as the “good Christians” are so wont to do.

It makes me giggle to think of Tom Merton and Paula White and Todd Bentley all in the same Eeeevul Christian Heretics Pot.

I used to think the Apostle Paul was boring too – that is until I became a Christian.

I watched the video you posted interesting…huh? But NOT so interesting as it is disturbing. You know, those who know what the main theme of what the bible actually teaches, seems to be the ones who actually catch this nonsense right off the bat. For everyone else it seems to be the scenario of they either don’t know what the bible actually says, or they misinterpret it, and don’t care. I keep asking myself sometimes am I actually reading the bible for what it really is, and EVERY time I do, I keep thinking and reading the teachings of Jesus. Contemplate the whole message of the word and what Gods people had to go through, and it is totally contrary to what is being taught in many churches today, somehow I feel left out. I wonder if this isn’t the case for others, and find the prosperity message so attractive, it’s easy for them to actually ignore the hard cold facts, that life is hard and we don’t want to suffer, but want the ease and comforts of things and money. The line in the sand, is one not so easily drawn, impatience sets in, needs set in, the cars look good, the nice homes look good, prestige, popularity, the list goes on and on. And when these things become our sole motive, then Heaven and Jesus seems to fade in the hearts of men. Even though they claim God their heart is for from him, and their God becomes mammon. Jesus taught on these things very clearly what the riches will do to the heart. I will do the best I can to make sure it won’t happen to me God be on my side, I hope he doesnt test me on it.

Maybe this one is bit better for you:

Paula White is an out and out heretic. Period.

I’ve heard people debate on what Paul’s thorn was and it very well may have been not being able to speak or preach in public. But was able to be used greatly by God to write a lot of the New Testament. Which Paula White made it very evident, by quoting many scriptures from Paul’s writings.

I’m making a judgement call here, And I believe you made a bad call pointing out this clip, in the context which was presented. I’m not familiar with Paula White so I can’t make a judgement call on her teachings, but this clip, not knowing who she is, I see no real wrong in it. I’ve known and heard many boring preachers, that were the real deal.

Is this what you do? Come to websites, pretend to agree with whatever is posted, and then try to get people (whom you pretend to think like) to come to your site and fall for you new age hocus pocus?

Isn’t this the EXACT type of artificiality that Thomas Merton would hate? The hypocritical nature of people who wear a mask while their true self is hidden from view? I’m thinking Merton, your savior, wouldn’t be too proud of you.

No thanks. I don’t need to read one of Merton’s books for guidance. God’s word is all I need. I saw your website, it’s very new agey and you need to get away from that false teaching and come to the One (that is Jesus) who guides you.

I am just wondering..how can they become so decieved?
I guess most of them start out okay, but then become so decieved. Does not the bible say that even not a fool shall be led astray?

Well..thanks again for your courage.
