Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

If those folks are Christians, and if they die as martyrs for the Christian faith, then God did have a wonderful plan for their lives. Rev. 2:10 suggests that there is a special reward called the "crown of life" for those who die for the sake and testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteRight on.
ReplyDeleteBut let's be real. When that type of message is preached today, it is not referring to eternal life. Therefore, we are selling a false bill of good.

ReplyDeleteYou're right. It's understood that your point is the same point of the picture. The Four Spiritual Laws isn't complete in that sense. It can (and often does) leave the impression that when we accept Christ as Lord and Savior that from then on our lives will become problem free.
