“He is a false teacher. He is a false teacher…” These are the accusations you will often find in the comments concerning @PhilipAMitchell. Ironically, many of those making such accusations either lack a sound understanding of the Scriptures or approach the Word of God through the lens of humanistic reasoning and earthly perspectives, interpreting it to accommodate their own preconceived notions rather than submitting their minds to the truth of God. We must also remember that the Bible emerged from an ancient Near Eastern context, not a modern Western one. Understanding its historical, cultural and literary context is essential to interpreting Scripture faithfully, rather than imposing our own cultural assumptions upon it. Rather than endlessly arguing over who is true and who is false, I urge you to pursue a genuine knowledge of God for yourselves. Study His Word, seek His heart, test every teaching against the Scriptures, and allow the Holy Spirit to transform your understanding. Do not outsource your discernment to public opinion or blindly accept anyone’s conclusions, including mine. Open the Word. Know your God. Time is running out!
