I assume you can point to at least one verse, considering your comment would be entirely pointless otherwise. What verse in the Bible says that “any sex not done for procreation is ‘deviant’”?

Thu, 10 May 2012 02:52:44 +0000 http://www.symphonyofscripture.com/?p=2359#comment-79930 This is idiotic. If porneus included all forms of "deviant" sex, and any sex (according to the Bible) not done for procreation is "deviant," then I do believe that most everyone is going to hell, homosexual or otherwise. Well, I would believe that if I believed in hell. I sure hope that nobody who agrees with this tripe is out there having sex for pleasure, even within the context of marriage....you're destined for the flames! This is idiotic.

]]> Comment on Hillsong Says: Reformers Fought for Nothing by Frances http://www.symphonyofscripture.com/?p=1023&cpage=1#comment-78738 Frances Sat, 28 Apr 2012 21:23:13 +0000 http://www.symphonyofscripture.com/?p=1023#comment-78738 You're spot on with your observations about Hillsong. The music and everything is fantastic, dazzling, overwhelming but incredibly I am left feeling very empty whenever visiting similar type churches. The true reformed gospel is not taught at these churches. And they are definitely on the road back to Rome and the antichrist papacy. The AOG or Australian Christian Churches (their new name) abandoned their strong anti catholic stand in the 70's and since then have been sweeping their congregations into the ecumenical movement (aka "lets all proclaim the pope as head of the church and affirm Roman Catholicism as a credible christian church) Every biblically trained Christian can see whats going on. "Come out of her my people ( Roman Catholicism and every false church) that you be not partakers of her sins for her sins have reached to heaven." What annoys me is that the Aust Govt forked out $40 million dollars for World Youth Day and that all the pentecostal churches were sending their youth to it from all over Australia!! Pass me a bucket to spew! (From a former Roman Catholic who was saved by the reformed gospel!) You’re spot on with your observations about Hillsong.

]]> Comment on The Signs And Wonders Movement Exposed by Andrew http://www.symphonyofscripture.com/?p=848&cpage=1#comment-78558 Andrew Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:09:02 +0000 http://www.symphonyofscripture.com/?p=848#comment-78558 Robert, you probably won't see this given the time difference, but I do understand a bit of what you say. I have also noticed that non-charismatics do often use aggressive language towards charismatics, and this is wrong. We need to reflect the love of Jesus even when we disagree. And similarly, some non-charismatics do seem to lack joy in their lives. So the charismatic movement, with its lively worship and passionate faith, does seem very attractive. I have no hesitation in saying that the signs and wonders movement is a sham, and as the video explains, it's all done with mind tricks (if Jason Westerfield did genuinely speak fast for four whole hours it will almost certainly have hypnotised some people). But, after much searching, I've realised that all branches of the charismatic and pentecostal movements share the same foundation, which is a false doctrine. So it's no wonder that corruption abounds. Whilst you may have found speaking in tongues helpful, the fact is that mormons, hindus, indians, eskimos, and occultists of various persuasions also speak in tongues, and there is no difference between these tongues and christian ones. Biblically, speaking in tongues always refers to known languages, yet christian "tongues" are just gibberish. It's all a product of the mind, and I'm sorry to say that you have been deceived by a false teaching. There are millions of people worldwide like yourself, and many of them are sincere Christians who have been sold a lie. It's great that God used one of them to bring you to faith, and I hope and pray that you will eventually come to realise that, whilst the Biblical gospel is preached in the charismatic movement, their views on the Holy Spirit are completely wrong.

To say that Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament law in its fullest is supportive of killing your children, but would you do that? There are only two laws that matter. 1) There is only one God and all others are idols. 2) Love thy neighbor as you love yourself. You cannot say obviously because it’s simply not obvious.

When Christ was here in flesh people did not understand him, Blessed are those who did not talk against him even if they new the scriptures and could not justify his existence as a Messiah. We are facing the same predicament in this day and age , there are many preachers of the word , in such a way that we end up giving them bad names without God's approval, People becareful what you say... Don't say things out of anger or because you hate the preacher because you might mislead a lot of people and their blood will be on your head.
