This is a rather interesting post. In my Bible believing church, a church where truth is preached, there are a handful of members who seem to get sucked into reading material that includes contemplative prayer (Beth Moore, et al), mysticism (stories about those who have experienced heaven and back) and "nationalism" (which is really Dominion Theology IMHO). Some of us just shake our heads and can't understand how it is that they get drawn to these theologies. These are people who clearly have a deep love for the Lord and they are fed "meat" by our pastor. Even if someone corrects their error in love, they still don't (refuse?) to see it. This is definitely a discernment issue. Not sure what to think about this concerning these "mature" believers.
In so many words, Jesus did say that in these last days, that some would believe whatever their ears heard. Satan knows he is losing the battle, so he is working extra hard to take as many with him as possible.

ReplyDeleteI hear you. It is most confusing and as I have said sometimes it isn't Scriptural ignorance but demonic deception.
