Since I don’t
attend services at any church anymore, simply because none of them teach the
complete truth of God’s Word, I listened to a sermon on the Internet instead.
Now I’m not saying that all the churches are in error about everything, they
all seem to be according to bible scripture in most of the cases about the
Gospel of Christ as it relates to obtaining salvation.
I had
previously written about the Pastor of Happy Valley Church, Donny Reagan and
thought that I might have been unfair to him after hearing him before, so I
thought I would give him another chance to impress me.
The message
that I heard today was about the difference between two Greek words in the
bible that were translated into the English word which is “word”. The two Greek
words that he spoke about were “Logos and Rhema”. At first he turned me a
little bit off when he made the statement that only the “Elect” of God could
hear and understand the “rhema” word of God. Although I didn’t agree with that,
I continued to listen hoping he could reveal some good thing to me that I may
have overlooked up to now.
This Pastor
explained that the “logos” word translated into the English word “word” was the
word of God that is spoken and written. Then the “Rhema” word translated into “word”
was the word of God that only certain people could receive by a revelation.
Well, he did a good job presenting the difference in applying these two words
for a better understanding of Bible scripture and got me interested in taking a
closer look at them in the event that I had missed something important in my
Bible study.
It turned
out, after I studied the scriptures I decided that what he taught was nothing
but a bunch of gobbledygook that had no scriptural basis and is used by these “Message
of the Hour” churches to justify the false teaching that the late William
Branham presented to the people.
It’s too bad
that some of these Pastors can’t preach a message from the Bible without using
parts of William Branham’s sermons. They are just so convinced that Branham’s
interpretations of scripture is so correct, they can’t get their own revelation
of the truth from the Bible and teach the people God’s Word the way they should
be doing.
God revealed
to me years ago that I was to go to these “Message” people and turn them back
to the truth of the Bible and get them out of the false teaching they were in.
But I have not been successful so far because they are still looking for
supernatural signs from God in my ministry and none have been given by God.
After all, it was these supernatural signs that got them into believing this
false teaching in the first place and God probably isn’t going to let that
happen again.
You would
think that presenting the truth of the Bible just as it is written would be
enough, but when these “Message Believers” close their eyes and cover their
ears to what the Bible says, it appears to be a lost cause unless God
intervenes in some way and gets their attention.
