Why I got out the Way Ministry?​
01-24-25-2012​
I have begin to employ the real reason people leave ministries or believe systems by looking at myself first so we are talking the first church I was in to the last ministry I was in. We leave one place because it fells to give us we wanted. For me the church did not give the truth then the way ministry fell me but who fell me?

Pride is a dirty word for most of us but it what happen to me I saw my religion as the as the reason for me felling but who really fell short I did. In Matthew it reads Satan get behind me, which pride that got in my way. Yes the pride of religion got in Peter way Peter believe Jesus would him slip way but Jesus did not.

The pride of not being right got in my way and your way when I posted on doctrine and others places about “Ten Reasons Why Most Believers Don't Seriously Question Their Faith” others got what. You tell me did pride made some judge wrong while others saw that they did agreed with the man that every body has right to judge for them selves.

Once you take a stand making a remark about the writer you have let pride get in your way I am not speaking for the man but I also not cutting the man questioning. I quested the Way Ministry by not seeing their Way, as right I should question myself for joining it in the first place. The pride I had for the Way ministry is what got in my way I could not see it because I had pride for Way believes otherwise I was the one that let pride in his way.

But today I search out myself for area’s where I have pride getting in my path and I remove the pride from myself. Look I write “God/man/Atheist/Jesus/Christ/child of God” God for God’s first, Man for the state in am in, Atheist is what I battle against, Jesus is man that saved me from myself, Christ is the birth that is coming, and child of God is what I shall be someday. I see myself has a broken man got up in sin but God loves me enough to make a way out which is God’s son the Christ.

I know this get you where you do not want to face but truth always makes us want to cry because we cannot face the truth but facing the truth is only to free yourself from it. Christ came to free us from yourself cutting the bonds of religion that we put our selves in. Your temple which is your house where every thought lives to be bitter or prideful but it be better to remove every bitterness or prideful felling you can have and replace them with love.

Put on the perfect will of God doing God will from your heart do not get caught in religion pride which does you no good. Be willing to debate anything letting nothing mold you with false religion, which is not right. I am going to end now but thank you all with love of God and a holy kiss from Roy.

Hi year2027,

I had never hear of "The Way", and was amazed to read an account of this cult. (Ref. http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/Cults/way.htm )

Your initial post was difficult to read, Roy, aka year2027. Is English your native language?

As for The Way, despite their many denominational faults and personal foibles, I am forever indebted to Victor Paul Wierwille and The Way Ministry. Way back in 1980, a dear friend of mine who I hadn't seen for ten years, invited me to one of his home Bible Studies with other members of The Way. As a backslidden former Catholic, I was instantly impressed with their knowledge and zeal for the Word of God. Through their patient tutelage and true Christian love they led me to a heartfelt conversion and a lifelong devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. Though I now hold a number different doctrinal opinions, I've read many of Victor Paul Wierwille's books and have been inspired by many of his teachings.

Our walk in the Lord, should never be based upon any particular denomination or Church group's doctrine. Instead, we should cultivate a truth-seeking mindset, ever-learning in our personal studies of the Holy Scripture and gradually growing in wisdom and knowlege, while being attentive to follow the gentle persuasions of the Holy Spirit in yearning for the fulness of Christ.

It's fine to attend church regularly or follow a particular denomination for a season but a faithful pastor of mine once said, " A Christian should endeavor to be at least as smart as a cow. . . learn to eat the hay but spit out the sticks."

Is Victor Paul Wierwille's rejection of the Trinity and Deity of Christ one of the 'sticks' we need to spit ouit?
If a person is that far off base then I don't think it is a matter of hay and sticks but rather acid and arsenic.

After reading several of Victor Paul Wierwille's books (albeit many years ago), I don't ever recall him mentioning
either of those topics. The physical/spiritual composition of the Godhead IMO is beyond mortal man's
abilities to comprehend. As to the Deity of Christ, I'll grant you that denying that reality is undoubtedly heresy
of the first order but I'd prefer to read/hear VPW's words themselves rather than hear it from disgruntled former Way members, partial critics or supposed Bible Answer Men.

These doctrinal errors may well have crept into Wierewille's later works. I was only a member of the Way ministry for a few years in the early 1980's. If these statements, are, indeed, verifiable they should rightly be condemned.

Many minister's faith waiver through their careers. For example, though he was a pillar of the Protestant faith for
many decades, the Rev. Billy Graham has recently made some very troubling comments about people NOT needing
to acknowledge Christ as Savior to attain salvation. This shouldn't reflexively make us condemn the entirety of
his ministry as 'toxic' or 'poisonous'.

If you were to post your doctrinal positions on a number of theological issues there would probably be those who
could find flies in your personal doctrinal oinment, as well. . . Our faith should never be based upon the treatises of men, pastors or denominations. It is interesting, however, that the original poster did not have the strength
of opinion to support his original post. "Spit out the sticks (toadstools included), and moooove on!"
