DO CHRISTIANS STAND ON AN AUTHORITY OUTSIDE THE BIBLE? We face challenges with cults and religions that get outside the Bible, even though many will still claim they believe it. In practice, however, Scripture is not what they follow. And let me step on more toes even closer to home; this same mistake is going on in the Christian Church today. We sit with our doctrinal statements confirming that the Bible is the final rule of faith and practice, (Sola Scriptura), but is that really what we practice? Often today, the answer is “no." What I have witnessed where ever I've pastored, especially these days, is that the Bible does not determine the lives of Christians. What does? It's the secular educational system and media, personal opinion, and peer pressure. Those are today's determining factors, even for Christians. To support those views, we go
into the Bible looking for loopholes, twist verses, and take passages out of context because there is societal pressure, or we just want something be true so we attempt to squeeze it into the Scriptures. That's unfortunate and shows that Christians are in danger of doing the same thing these other faiths have done, going outside the Bible. As we saw in our study, "Charismatic Chaos," charismatic fringe groups are doing the same thing with their prophet and prophetess claims. Their so-called modern-day prophets supposedly have an ability to get a "new word" from God. How is that any different than what goes on with h Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Roman Catholicism’s popes and committees, and the rest? It's the same as Christians in the Church today, who also get outside the Scripture. | image tagged in christian,charismatic,bible,scripture,god,authority | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

HOW ARE CHARISMATICS IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, AND HINDUISM, THE SAME?
Hinduism has a core practice they call “Upanishads,” which is the practice of mystical interpretations. But we know private interpretations allow anyone to claim anything, like, "Well, I think what that involves is the humanity of the thing-a-ma-deal concerning the majig idea known through post-existential thought.” Though I made no sense, with all due respect, here's how it normally goes from there with mystical interpretations: after reciting my lofty oratory that you were just lucky to hear, if I put on a fancy robe and act deeply ethereal while looking down on others because I know everything and they're lowly dumb dumbs, then I can be a part of the higher priestly class. That's really what it is with the whole religiosity system that gets convoluted to the point that only certain people can let us know what our beliefs and practices need to be. Unfortunately, we have people in the Church today who do the same thing. As we detail extensively in our study, "Charismatic Chaos," today we're being told by a sect of Christianity called the hyper-charismatics, that we don't have the ability to read the Bible for ourselves. Instead, we need to attend certain schools across America to learn how to be true prophets of God who use spiritual techniques to have a "spiritual encounter with God,” which actually gets people into an altered state of consciousness (a Hindus teaching), to make contact with spirits (that are not God). Still hyper-charismatics tell us it’s the way to "understand” a “true" deeper meaning behind the Bible. Unfortunately, that is rampant all over the Church today but it's just a trick to dupe people into getting away from the biblical truth God
already supplied in a book anyone can read for themselves. | image tagged in charismatic,church,hinduism,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
