I identified the problem, now how do we help those that are caught in the snare of these false teachers. We really can't help by attacking the false teachers, the duped will circle the wagons and defend even more vigorously. And I really can't blame the false teachers, they're playing their role in God's plan of salvation - just like Judas did.Doug Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318930961031654937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246295430976433070.post-40824654770628059592017-05-02T14:42:50.867-06:002017-05-02T14:42:50.867-06:00Hello Doug,

When You come back, You can certainly see the Holy Spirit at work in Your life~!What a way to start off May, in a big way~! I'm sure You've heard the riddle, "If April shower's bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring~? "Pilgrims~! Anyway "pilgrim,"I'm ready to go to work and continue to warn those brethren, of those who would lead them to Hell~!I've got to say, thats one of the best thing I've ever seen written to expose all the ridiculousness~! You are a superb writer and can hold an audience with a balance of humor, interest and indeed Holy Spirit inspired, by the gift He has given You. Your blog needs more exposure and I'm going to spread it far and wide~!May he continue to bless Your work, until He comes to take us home~!!!<br />In His Love,<br />Mark E.

Your post is an excellent apology against "enthusiasm", which in the <a href="http://bookofconcord.org/smalcald.php#part3.8.3" rel="nofollow">Book of Concord</a> is defined as the that the Holy Spirit is given and works apart from the preceding Word read, spoken, or preached. <br /><br /><br /><i>And in those things which concern the spoken, outward Word, we must firmly hold that God grants His Spirit or grace to no one, except through or with the preceding outward Word, in order that we may [thus] be protected against the enthusiasts, i.e., spirits who boast that they have the Spirit without and before the Word, and accordingly judge Scripture or the spoken Word, and explain and stretch it at their pleasure, as Muenzer did, and many still do at the present day, who wish to be acute judges between the Spirit and the letter, and yet know not what they say or declare. 4] For [indeed] the Papacy also is nothing but sheer enthusiasm, by which the Pope boasts that all rights exist in the shrine of his heart, and whatever he decides and commands with [in] his church is spirit and right, even though it is above and contrary to Scripture and the spoken Word.</i><br /><br /><br />Alechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00825239050486476125noreply@blogger.com
