It is the teaching of this world, Kevin. Unless the teaching be founded upon Christ, upon God's Holy Spirit teachings for men toward love, salvation through Jesus, and Kingdom building (doing those things as God has commanded, part of the Lord's Prayer, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven"), then it be only worldly, and one of the many wide paths leading to Hell.

Strait is the gate, and narrow the way which leads to Salvation, and few there be that find it. Wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leads to Hell, and many there be that find it.

We live in a literal binary world. All people fall into one of two camps: Saved. Damned. And even those who pursue God's spirit with great passion and vigor in their lives struggle with this sinful flesh, myself included.

Jesus even rebuked Peter one time calling him "Satan" (when Jesus was explaining that He had to be handed over to be tortured, go to the cross, and die, and Peter said contrary words that it should not happen to him).

Matthew 16:21-25, specifically verse 23:
"21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."

Peter was speaking with the words of Satan, even though he was a man, and a disciple. He was not seeking Heavenly things, but Earthly things, and Jesus rebuked him accordingly right on the spot.


> Maybe I can seek back wages from him. :)

If you are not serving Jesus, you are serving Satan.
This is true of all people, not just you, Kevin.
Luke 11:23:
"He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth."

This was the heart of my warning to Charles today... that he not continue to criticize those things which are from above because he is scattering, harming, not only himself, but others who, by their own sinful flesh and lusts, will believe the lies which Satan espouses, rather than the Truth of God.


>Just curious....do you have any thoughts on the actions of Westboro Baptist Church?

No. I do not know about them.
