My post about God telling us to cease from man, meaning to stop listening to men's doctrines, was easy enough to understand.
Okay. That is your point. Thanks.
(I disagree with your point.)
Men speak, testify, preach and teach.
You want to boil that down to DOCTRINE,
Okay.
One CAN NOT KNOW, IF what men speak, testify, preach and teach......
IS the mans "made up" Doctrine...
OR the man speaking;
Christ's Doctrine....
Less the one First hears a man speak.
HEARS what the Man Says...
THEN verifies what the man Says 'IS actually Christ's Doctrine".
The OP is about Jack Van Impe, TEACHING...
The "DOCTRINE"...
That "Jesus is returning soon".
You IMPLY Jack Van Impe, IS TEACHING "HIS" Doctrine, and NOT Christ's Doctrine.
You IMPLY based on your determination, ^^^
That Jack Van Impe is "therefore" a false teacher / a false christ.
Based ON YOUR determination, you "therefore" believe, Jack Van Impe's TEACHING should be IGNORED.
IS THAT CORRECT?
IF SO, I disagree.
Jack DOES TEACH, Jesus is returning SOON.
Scripture says:
1 Pet 4
[7] But
the end of all things is at hand:
("At Hand", means, close, near, soon)
Scripture says:
Rev 22
[12] And, behold, I come quickly;
("Behold", means look
"Quickly", means without delay)
Scripture says:
Rev 3
[11] Behold, I come quickly:
Where exactly (according to you) is the CONFLICT between Scripture saying;
Jesus' return IS "AT HAND"
And
Jack Van Impe saying:
Jesus' return IS "SOON"
????
Scripture says:
Rev 22
[20] He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus
Here Scripture AGAIN is Jesus' Testimony, that SURELY He comes quickly...
Amen..(agree).
Even So...."Even as Jesus testified He shall come quickly, and His coming IS AT HAND...
DO YOU BELIEVE, "evenly", IN "agreement"
WITH Jesus' Testimony?
Jack Van Impe DOES, and "SAYS SO"!
So, (according to you), HOW is what Jack IS teaching, "IN CONFLICT"...and (NOT) according to Christ's OWN Doctrine?
Glory to God,
