Rules to Keep in Mind Here at the Fly
Everyone is welcome here. However, when you post a comment please remember some simple rules.
1. No one has an inalienable right to have their comments posted.
2. Please keep on-topic, otherwise it may not be posted at all.
3. Starting out with a sarcastic comment is a pretty good way to show me your intentions are not, well, honorable and will tend to wake up the cynic in me thus triggering the "delete" function.
4. Whining about how your comment wasn't posted is a sure way to prove to me that my cynicism (see point 3) was justly roused.
5. Comments that make personal assaults at others who post comments will not be published.
6. In light of rule 5, my posting an article that says something like "So and So teaches thus and so and here is the evidence" does not constitute a personal assault on my part, no matter how you may dislike what I had to say.
7. My time is worth more than wasting it on mud-wrestling on my own blog. If I see that you're here basically saying "Change my opinion against my will", don't be surprised if I don't humor you.
8. I reserve the right to create a post based on a submitted comment. It may be because of some positive comment that I'd like to expand on. It may also be that I'll take a troll-type comment and use it for another post of "Trolls Say The Darndest Things". In the former case, I will give credit to the commenter. In the latter case, I'll leave names out of the immediate post. If someone finds the original post however. . ..

About Me
- Tim Brown
- United States
- I met the Lord Jesus Christ in 1998. Before then, I had made a profession of faith but now know there was no reality to it. I had no sense of personal sin and a need for a savior. I had "prayed the prayer" but there was no transformation. It was only after the Lord let me bottom out and see myself as a sinner ripe for judgement that I realized that I needed a savior. There was simply no other remedy. Paul told the Corinthians "Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith." If you profess to know the Lord, that is the best advice I can give you.

Thanks Tim for the link. Really what I am thankful for is that God is raising up men and women who are warning the redeemed.
Berit Kjos on crossroads has written extensively documenting the false and blasphemous teaching in the 'message' by Peterson. Here is a link:
http://www.crossroad.to/Bible_studies/Message.html
My dad came to visit a couple of months ago and we had a heated discussion. I sketched out some notes on what was said and here's part of it with his statements in bold...
We did 40 days of purpose and it was great. Have you?
No. And I wouldn't want to participate in that.
Why not?! Rick Warren has sold millions of the books and has given 95% of his money to charities. All of the material in the book came straight from the Bible. What do you have against him?
For one thing, he uses whatever translation comes in handy to prove his point ... including The Message.
What's wrong with that?
It's a blasphemous interpretation of God's word. Not a word-for-word translation.
Oh, all the bibles are the same. I use the living bible and many seminary students are taught to use it. It's so easy to read and understand.
But it's someone's interpretation instead of a word-for-word translation!
They are all someone's interpretation. How many people would agree with you? 1%? 2%? Are you saying that all of these men who have studied the Bible for years are wrong?
They could be. Jesus said the way is narrow and few there be that find it.
What does that have to do with it?! When are you going to answer my question?
It means the majority is not necessarily right. And the answer to your question is 'Not very many will agree with me. Very few.'
Something is wrong with you, then. There must be something wrong with your brain.
Dad, if you are really interested in the Bible version issue, I can email some information to you.
Whatever you send me will be deleted without reading it. I don't want my mind to be messed up. What version to you use?
The King James.
Do you read it?
Everyday.
Good. Keep doing that if that’s the right one for you.
So he doesn't even want to know the truth. Sad, huh?
What's sad about it is that this is a common argument.
How many times do you hear people say someone "Preaches from the Bible" only to find that what that means is that they say things that sound like they are from the Bible?
Been there, seen that.
