Christianity.com people claim that
God has appointed them as heresy-hunter. Why God would appoinst
a group as Heresy-hunter a group who do not even believe in
Bible who even do not know what is in the Bible?

Who are you to judge them or
me. What about the heresy
you believe and teach? Drag that giant beam out of your eye
first!

What heresy do I believe and teach?
Please feel free to quote me and correct me with the Word.
And who am I to judge their teachings? Simple,
a Christian.
I can tell you firsthand that it is no joy
to be labeled a "heresy-hunter." Yet, as the Apostle
Paul instructed Timothy, we are to zealously guard the purity
of the message God has entrusted to us, and for good reason
(1 Timothy 1:18-19; 6:20; 2 Timothy 4:2-5).
This is not merely a suggestion, it
is, in fact, a divine mandate. Of course if heresies are coming
from teachers within the church, we ought to try and approach
them first with our concerns

So.... among all the millions
of believers you alone the one who is correct??? That is kind
of hard to take.... No offence, but someone who was 100% correct
on all issues would not be here fussing about ken copeland
and E.W. Kenyon.... he would be out there saving the thousands
of lost souls. I am sure you have at least as good a record
as Hagin, Copleland, TBN, etc in saving the lost? How many
million can you point to as fruit of your success? How many
ministers have you sent out, how many churches have you founded
here and abroad? If you are as right as you think you are...
my first and most important question is where is the fruit
of your labor? Please do not tell me that your sole claim
to fame is being a critic of those who are going about doing
things! Anyone can sit around and find fault... that takes
no special talent or ability. But if you do imagine that to
be your "ministry" then you must be sure that your
doctrine is 100 pure! Is it? I doubt it. Again, no offence,
but the probability that your beliefs are correct to the exclusion
of all others is extremely small. I for one would not even
make such a claim. You are simply not qualified to do what
you are doing.

Facedown (user):
Earthless, you have mentioned
more than once about there being no joy in being labled a
'heresy hunter', enough even to confirm that is what you are
doing. I wonder why of all the things that one could do, why
is it this?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firstly, where did I state that I am perfect? All of my posts,
teachings, preachings and apologetic writings are open for
all brothers and sisters to call me out on and correct me
with the Word of God.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are not perfect? Pleases specify
where you are not perfect? I am not being sarcastic and there
is a point to this question. So if you (as you imply) are
not perfect in your doctrine.... then where are you wrong?

Secondly, this has nothing to do with
how many have been born-again because of God using me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visitor to Christianity.com:
Of course it does! If your teaching
and preaching is correct, it will bear fruit! You will be
loaded with it. Also... if it is not, then....???? You will
have fruit. Not only in souls being saved but also in other
area of "things that accompany salvation"

Thirdly, all Christians are qualified
and are to be equipped to know what the Word says. Especially
on core essentials, such as the nature of God, salvation,
etc etc.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visitor to Christianity.com:
Only if you are perfect. Which
you have admitted that you are not. We await for you to inform
us regarding where your errors are.

I am left wondering why you jumped on
my first sentence and completely ignored the whole other 90%
of my post which gives a basic overview of what the Bible,
the Word of God, has to say about what you are so against
a believer doing:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visitor to Christianity.com:
I did that because that is what
you do. You lift a sentence out of context here, do a little
twist there... and totally ignore all the other preaching
and teaching that WoF has out there. It is not nice is it?
Please respond to it. Not until you
can detail where you are not perfect, and then why you imagine
yourself to be qualified to tell others where they are wrong.
Until then, my stance is the same, you are simply not qualified
to do what you are doing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: After this above post visitor was
not showed up in any later posts. It clearly indicates that
he was kicked out of the forum. Why ban people if you don't
have answers. Is it Christian? To hide the truth with cunningness
is not the Christian way. You can notice another thing in
p-19 Earthless did not reply to straightforward question asked
by visitor "Please respond
to it. Not until you can detail where
you are not perfect, and then why you imagine yourself to
be qualified to tell others where they are wrong". Earthless
just skipped this question and posted another post. Just jumping
like monkey on tree. The tactic is if no answers then ignore
the post, ban the person and post old post like parrot singing
the same song again and again. This is the tacktic of Christianity.com.
You can find it all over Christianity.com forums.
