Denalii, I see you are on a different tact to spread discord in this forum.
First, you kept accusing people of not posting Scripture, and then turned around and never posted a single verse yourself. (I'm talking a complete verse - you do love to pull partial verse out of context, occasionally!)
Now, when people talk about an outright heresy - be it Word Faith, Arianism or Docetism I saw in another thread yesterday (not you, Denalii) you say we are judging other Christians.
The thing is, I try to speak the words of the Bible. In context! I know that freaked you out, but I personally don't care who believers an error. As a teacher, I like to show the truth of God's Word. So I do! With the Word. But, you like to attack, create straw men, throw out red herrings, etc etc.
Seriously, this is a thread on the errors of the Word Faith doctrine. If I was a supporter, I would carefully go through the posts against it, and show why the poster is wrong, as shown in the Word.
As someone who is seriously offended by the Word Faith doctrine, my goal, including starting a full thread last year, has been to show why the whole shebang is just totally and absolutely unbiblical.
As for judging people, it was the Word Faith people who judged and condemned me for not being healed, when I first got Rheumatoid Arthritis. This was not on the Internet, but long time friends. They prayed for me, and when I was not healed, they blamed me. But it was their prayers that did not have enough faith. And then, Nydia got breast cancer, and named and claimed healing, wouldn't take medical treatment and died 10 months later. And Oswald, well, he got an enlarged prostate, ended up in the ER, taken there by a friend for emergency surgery and he is alive and healthy at the age of 86. And thinks doctors are ok, now!
God has ministered to me in a million ways since I became sick. And in turn, he called me to the ministry of reconciliation to the hurting and broken. I could not have done this, had I not become sick and gone through deep valleys, where Christ taught me how to be more like him!
"More than that, we rejoice in our suffering, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character and character produces hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:3-5
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
3 For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour;" Isa. 42:1b-3a
Isaiah is a metaphor for the trials of life we all go through. Although right now, where I live, we just had the second highest flood in the history of the community, and now the whole of BC is in flames, or covered in smoke. So, sometimes more than metaphorical!
I've got a good friend going through radiation right now, for breast cancer. Her husband died a few years ago, and she has had other trials. But she loves Jesus. I'm so glad I can encourage her, and so glad I can keep judgmental and condemning Word Faith people, without a Scriptural leg to stand on, away from her.
That's right Denalii, the ones judging are always the Word Faith people, with their lie from the devil.
Now, I know Denalii has me on ignore, I trust someone will "quote with reply" so he can see it. But, if that doesn't happen, that is ok, too! God is in control! My prayer is that perhaps some other person will start to wonder at the lies they have been taught by these TV shysters and this doctrine of demons, the Word Faith heresy!
