Should we teach others to rebel against standards?

JJ Bourne advised a ton of people to invest in ERON based on a Word from the Lord. It didn't go as well as Bro. Bourne said it would. lol

Yep. Guess he “missed it.” As is the excuse given when people make false prophecies.

Yep. Obviously.

Clearly these are all fallible men. That is why I believe we should stay grounded in the Word of God regarding our faith and practice.

Had revival with him years ago. All talk about money. Money miracles. Some money prophecies. I began to dream of lotto numbers. Just weird.

I guess they never read Deuteronomy 18:20-22 "But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. [21] And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? [22] When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

There use to be no he just "missed it". Miss it one time, and that was it!!

Sorry, but doing a somersault onto the platform, then flipping into the baptismal is flesh.

So is throwing your suit jacket at the person behind the pulpit.

Thank God I've never seen that kind of mess in a service.

I've seen people run the aisles and dance in the aisles, but none of this stupidity.

Nothing about that was decent and in order. It was all flesh, no doubt there!

Their beards are the most important "doctrine" to them.

That's baloney.

I am a man without beard and I firmly teach without any apologies that the anti-beard preachers are absolutely wrong.

The most important doctrine to me is to teach only what is in the Bible instead of man-made doctrines and this beard thing is one of the many man-made standards.

They need to stop teaching the commandments of men and teach the commandments of God. I could care less if Christian brethren shave or have a beard, to me that is irrelevant.

The list ends with the Bible, if it is not in the Bible then they should not make man made doctrines.
The Bible alone is sufficient to teach us the mind of God, if we add to the word of God, then we are not better than the Mormons.

Yes I will nit pick at every little thing that is not biblical.

Dear Sister, Jesus did not agree with the Pharisees and he did not leave and he did cause a lot of problems, so also did Peter and Paul.

Funny, you keep claiming the Word of God as far as the Gospel of Matthew is concerned is in Hebrew, yet you have no Hebrew text of Matthew that can be pointed to as "the original Matthew", nor do you bother answering the question: If Matthew was originally in Hebrew, why didn't God preserve it in Hebrew?
