Turn Them Off
"Behold, I am against those who have prophesied false dreams, declares the LORD, and related them and led My people astray by their falsehoods and reckless boasting; yet I did not send them or command them, nor do they furnish this people the slightest benefit, declares the LORD.” (Jeremiah 23:32)
It is hard to distinguish between what God has actually said from what men say that God says. Both can come from the pulpit of a well meaning and respected preacher. Following is an example...
“Adam sinned and immediately died spiritually. Eventually, he died physically”
The verse of Scripture he was commenting on was…
“For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23)
Do you see the word “spiritually” in that verse?
There is no such thing as “spiritual death” to be found in the Scripture. You are either dead physically or you are alive because you still have spirit (breath-power) in you. If you do not have “spirit”, you are not alive…you are in the grave just like King David.
“Then David rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David…Brethren, I may confidently say to you regarding the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.” (1 Kings 2:10; Acts 2:29)
David will not be spiritually alive until the return of Jesus to resurrect him. The same is true of all others…
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3)
When someone says he has a word from God turn them off if he is not reading from the Bible.
