I have oft...Thank you, Carolyn, for your thoughts.<br /><br />I have often counseled "younger" ones in the Faith that we can't make manmade lists, follow manmade lists, or even claim that manmade lists are "God's way". We are to accept Jesus as our Savior and follow Him, relying on the Holy Spirit's guidance.<br /><br />**Those who follow their's or other's lists are not relying on the LORD, even if they think they are. It is DANGEROUS to follow your own ways or to follow anyone who claims to say they know what God meant when He said "this or that". <br /><br />When a person interprets God's Word for their own life, or they interpret God's Word their own way to perniciously control their followers, they are definitely treading on dangerous ground as they are "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". <br />(Jonathan Edwards, July 8, 1741)The Piper's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17509697472567235161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185359764481159335.post-5854826334377436682019-08-12T09:48:22.290-05:002019-08-12T09:48:22.290-05:00Excellent Jill!
I wrote over at your husband'...Excellent Jill!<br /><br />I wrote over at your husband's blog my thoughts on the whole Harris situation. But in short, I agree with what MCO said. Harris is a product of unblblical teaching from Gothard, Lindvall (I read that article, the No Dating Game, what terrible teaching by Lindvall!) Mahaney, and more. Yes, Harris is ultimately responsible for himself, but considering what he came from, makes his current situation at least understandable.<br /><br />I said to Glenn: the Christian faith cannot be reduced to formulaic practices.<br /><br />These legalisms are not just little errors. They are lethal.<br /><br />-Carolyn<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
