SOLA SCRIPTURA!
I agree he is the Most Dangerous Man on Christian TV … but not as you presume. There is a true statement ” A TEXT out of CONTEXT becomes a PRETEXT. This isn’t only the case with Biblical Hermeneutics and Exposition – it also applies in our approach to other ministers of the Gospel. … consider what view someone could take if all your material was available on the internet, … came you be confident that someone couldn’t select 20-40 second clips and add a pre-judged commentry and allege a heresy? Mat 7:1 gives us a ‘health warning – “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and WITH THE MEASURE YOU USE, it will be measured to you.” Hmm!
Also consider … have you ever changed you point ot view/opinion on any mater of Hermeneutics? if your answer is NO then you in effect unwhittingly have made common cause with the Catholic ‘doctrine’ of papal infalibility – don’t let that affend you Reformed sensibilities – it’s not intended as such – but if you reflect on it I think you will get my point! Maybe a better way to tackle it would be to say that one is effectively to say @I have reach thepoin t of full understanding, and there is nothing new/deeper/fresh that I can recieve from God’s Word.
* * * A PERSONAL CONFESSION! – I had, sadly reached hat point a few years ago – but it wasn’t so much ‘arrogance, but I’d become ‘bored’ .. but in fact my heart had indeed become hardened- in the the sense that our Lord used it of his disciples in the boat (Mark 6: 50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. 51 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. 52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.)
Now I have to say I had trouble listening when I first heard him on the TV … but that was a problem of accent bring a Brit that Texan drawl was hard on my ears … yet I was intrigued by things I heard. I had already ask for the ‘gift of interpreation’, tho’ not in the 1 Corinthians meaning … but in the sense of Brit and Americans being ‘ two nations separated by a common language ( we Brits have basic disposition of ‘love to hate’ our distant cousins across the pond, or maybe cynasism aka ‘have a nice day’ vs ‘completely ignore you’ … I jest, but only a little …!
…ANYHOW after that digression! ….
It really helped me when I discovered that all his material was available as FREE downloads from his website ( it would be worth you clicking on the ‘why free download link on his site, I think you’d be SURPISED!
I’ve now listed to possibly 40+ hours of his material … and so feel ‘qualified’ to comment … though this he has become ‘transparent’ in away that few ministers of the Gospel are. From this I have learnt the reasons why he makes the kind of statements that cause you ‘concern’ he has the HIGHEST VIEW of Scripture, and has spent many more hours meditating on scripture in comparison to reading of commentaries. A valuable lesson for us all!
Before any of you are temped to comment further – you at least owe the grace of listening to him present his approach to Gods Word. In a four-part teaching called SURE FOUNDATION (5hrs worth) http://www.awmi.net/extra/audio/1034. I am just over halfway through he give one of clearest expositions of SOLA SCRIPTURA possibly since Martin Luther (and I seem to recall that possibly 90% of the popular Church considered him to be a heretic in his own time!) At least Mr Wommack hasn’t gone around nailing thesis to church doors.
Go on have a listen to the fulll 5hours before you post your response to my post (Mt 7:
