God reveres the KJV Bible above the name of Jesus. Or at least in the gospel according to MP, he does.

Puke.

(yes, I was you know where checking it out ;) It gives me up to date info to combat the missionary zeal of the Pearlites I know. )

Yikes! Where does he say that?

I've got some wonderful friends who promote the Pearl's and my dad is sort of "working on him" ....giving him information about what they REALLY teach. I've got a great dad, huh? :-)

it's currently on the front page of their site. It's an ad for a book marketed in the guise of an article.

Truly, that's heretical to me. And I think it's an excellent point to mention to pastors. :yes

Oh, what MP teaches is pure heresy. He denies that a Christian can sin; he claims to be perfect, and he discounts grace. I have no issues whatsoever saying that aloud. :no

OT - but I haven't heard the turn of phrase in the subject line in YEARS! I must have been in jr. high when The Church Lady was doing Church Chat on SNL.

My parents used to quote the Church Lady all the time when i was little :giggle

I am just flabbergasted at the article on that site - SO bizarre, what weird exigesis. B/c it makes so much sense that a random verse plucked from the Psalms should be understood to demote the name of Jesus below that of the Bible.

OT: Has anyone seen his "Good and Evil" comic book style bible, and what did you think?

Okay, I just read the featured article and I'm :ex. He gets himself into a conundrum with the foreign language translations argument, stating that some of them are corrupted by the devil, but some are the word of God, but yet holds true to the KJV as the "true" Bible. :hunh And then he throws his Greek Bibles in there. He makes no sense, plus then he has to throw his brag in there about how much studying he does. :rolleyes

Not going to look, so I'll take your word for it! I don't even *want* to know how he arrived at that conclusion.

Does he think God just handed down a bound copy of the KJV?

I know King James thought he was a god, but doesn't MP know he wasn't :shifty

Wow, prideful much? I came away with the sense that MP's pride in his own study overwhelmed any other point in his article.

yeah, aside from heresy, etc, I was just really put off by his whole attitude. I found it REALLY condesending and arrogant.

Well gee, if that doesn't just take the cake!

Yes, arrogant to the nth degree! The church fathers are "more like church babies????"

Well gee...

And here we see why he MUST use the King James...because other versions of the verse he uses to come up with this whole philosophy read differently:

NIV
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.

NASB
2I will bow down (A)toward Your holy temple
And (B)give thanks to Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth;
For You have (C)magnified Your word according to all Your name.

New Living Translation
2 I bow before your holy Temple as I worship.
I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness;
for your promises are backed
by all the honor of your name.
