NOTE: The pastor does NOT monitor, read, or respond to any messages here. If you have a serious inquiry, please reach out to him through our main website’s contact page. Occasionally one of the media team staff may monitor and respond to comments, but that is rare. The video messages are posted here for your edification and education, and not for starting arguments or debates. Snide, one lined derogatory statements or attacks are of no use to anyone, and are rarely edifying or showing the love of Christ to others. Please be respectful and loving to others.
If this is so, then what else is improperly misunderstood. Where does Hyperbole end and Biblical Truth begin? why did God treat so strongly those who where considered False Prophets?… What point of reference does the common man have to define right and wrong correctly? When Christ returns will he find Faith on the earth? How can we be sure by faith that there are not many roads to heaven as some suggest, perhaps what is stated that “there is no other name under heaven given by which we can be saved” is only hyperbole…While I get the point made, I also feel very uneasy as to where this can go in the reinterpretation process.
What is meant by the term “common man?” If that is the one described in 1 Corinthians 2:14, then he has no capacity to correctly define right or wrong. “Right,” or “Wrong” is determined by the Law of God. Therefore it can only be determined by those whom the Holy Spirit has granted understanding, and that can only happen when they are regenerated by the Holy Spirit. (The New Birth) by which their minds are renewed from ignorance to correct understanding. God bless you brother, and keep filling the GAP!
