Now Skep I am urging you to not read into my posts more then is necessary...you have tried more than once to question my complete distancing from Berg or my remorse of my sins in the past in TFI & /or my rejection of Berg & TFI because of their sins according to what a Christian life/standard should be really like...according to the Word/NT
I just happened to point out...that he missed the NT - quotes altogether...if he would have remembered them so well...those NT scriptures from reading...then he would have caught himself in his errors/sins and refrained from cursing...at leat publicly..."enjoying" it
Point is...he confessed several times in letters, that he stopped reading the Bible...he figured he had read it enough in his lifetime...I am now older than he was at the time of making that silly remark and yet I feel like a complete amateur regarding deep biblical knowledge and I feel it is my duty...I am fond of...to read the Bible.
So getting is an expression I used in the sense of coming to his mind...I am not implying, that anytime someone "gets" a scripture...it must be by the full assistance of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Don seemed to me to have wanted to have discussed where Mo and Moamar are now and whether they meet or not (like in hell?????)...I am not really fond of these discussions...for some people I know...Luther is also not saved...the way he ranted against the Jews and the Anabaptists...very severe sins of Luther...but how do I really know where they all are.
I am far from giving Berg the "absolution"...I wished they all would have audibly repented in their lifetime...so that leaves them in some "grey-zone" for me
And it must have dawned on you...that I have distanced myself from the charismatic movements...and there are plenty of fractions...if you are curious...I elaborate on it again...
I am not sure, whether I am a full-fledged cessationist...you would have to google that...if you don't know the expression yet...and it caught my intention again doing those study on the TFI-curses...that actually Berg's Deborah and her husband must be on the Cessationist-trail somewhat too...
So being "charismatic" might have a positive ring with you...but to me it has a negative connotation meanwhile...since there is a lot of bad fruit stemming from charismatic movements....of which TFI was the most "illustrous"...dangerous...weird one
I had posted here extensively links of bad fruits whether it was the Lakeland-revival or the exposing videos of the ex-child-preacher Major Gortner...hope I got the spelling right...no time right now for googling
So I hope I can fix some of your "prejudices towards" me...if not...feel free to ask again...thanks
It's interesting, that I get to understand only now, that you're not fond of discussing the Bible...may I know why?
