Another way to look at this besides this being their pet doctrine is for this to remind us to always check all teaching.

You are so right! We need to test all things and hold fast to what is good. No human can have it all right even though we may think we do. But we can learn to grow by testing everything and rejecting what doesn’t fit the scriptures in context.

Recently, I read a post at Steve Camp’s blog about Piper and Mahaney preaching that Jesus’ words on the Cross, “My God, why have you forsaken me” is the ‘Scream of the Damned” This was a concept both of them used at a conference.

I haven’t had a chance to see this yet, but it disturbs me greatly. Makes me see the teaching that has Jesus sent to hell for three days after his death. Not true at all. Jesus on the cross was in control and freely gave up his own life. the term “scream of the damned” gives an idea of a victim not the victory suffering alone.

I bring this up because we all have to be so vigilent. It is NOT a sin for us to question these famous, well loved guys and point out with scripture the error. Even though many are saying that ‘cursed’ and ‘damned’ can be interchangable.

AMEN! We are commanded to test all things using the only standard we have and that is the scriptures. Everything else is a rubber ruler including the charismatic words coming from a well-loved preacher.

By the way, I have no doubt you are experiencing extreme warfare over this DVD. Anything that elevates, lifts up and proclaims Christ’s Name above all Names is going to be fought. I will be interceeding for you many times. I give you my word on that.

THANK YOU so much!  I NEED all the prayer I can get.  The attacks this time have caused me to despair.  I really need the Lord’s strength to get me through.  I have experienced this before in both the writing phase and the editing phase of WIM and I came so close to giving up the project because of the overwhelming roadblocks I experienced.  This time it was very hard during the writing stage but I made it over the hump and now the editing stage on my own DVD is taking my breath away. I have no doubt that the Lord will use this project to set many people free and bring them to the place where they will also see the doctrine of the subordination of women fall to the floor as well.  Keep praying for me because I cannot do this on  my own.

This is all I can muster tonight. I am drained and must get some sleep to carry on the project tomorrow.  I will try to finish the comments tomorrow.  Great comments, by the way, I love interacting with you all!
