Some Fundamental Problems

I have been slightly pressed to say that today's fundamentalists act like yesterday's liberals. Just read the NLT and the KJV next to each other. Go hear a 15minute sermonette about Jesus and Me. Let us all raise up a Praise Jesus to. Then you will see why.

Fundamentalists are content using bad translations or rather paraphrases, which go above and beyond any close translation of the meaning of the word. There seems to be far less focus on strictness when considering dynamic equivalent translation vs. a real paraphrase. Read the Message. I am one of those who never finds it helpful. Use a commentary instead. Protestant and Catholic alike would have burnt some of these translations as heretical if they were around 300 years. Where is theology and Doctrine? It is inserted.



Let us not forget the prayer cloths and the exercise of 'spiritual gifts' that verge on the signs for Demon influence/possession. Things that even God would find impossible to bless since they lack the gospel. It is like this cartoon. We do not have arms to grasp onto that grace ourselves. Furthermore, it is God's doing. It is not by our will that grace and gifts are supplied/received.



The seeker sensitive movement is horrible. Tell them what they need to hear! It is the gospel. It is not what their ears are twitching to hear. Sometimes this means telling them about their sin and their need to change.


Who can blame yesterday's liberals for being bad when some fundamentalists are just as bad. They invite heresy. They are not even content to believe one thing. I have not even touched the health, wealth, and self help heresies either. There is much more to say but I aught to stop.
