01/27/22 DON'T BE BLOWN OFF COURSE BY AN ILL WIND

Here are two extreme and aberrant camps in Christendom:

The Brainiacs (or, as I refer to them, LETTERALISTS) because they think they understand the meaning of the letter of the Word from a supposed intellectual advantage,

and

The Feeliacs (or as I refer to them, EXPERIENTIALISTS) because they think they have the spiritual leading from supposed special revelation.

One group cannot see the forest for the trees (the big picture because they are focused on the details),

and

The other group cannot see the trees for the forest (the details because they are focused on the overview).

Or...

One group cannot see the personal, experiential reality of God's revelation because they insist on a detached, formulated view of God's word,

and

The other group cannot see the precision and finality God's revelation because they are listening to other authorities (humans and spirits).

As they have focused on their respective positions they have moved away from the true word of God and developed systems of thought contrary to the revelation of God.

This is to be expected in these days, since we know there will be a great rise of false doctrine, false teachers, false prophets, a different Jesus, and different Spirit and a different gospel.

This is why believers today must have a total dedication and surrender to Christ and His word, which includes study, submission, prayer, holiness of heart and life.

We are human. God built into the human nature REASON and EMOTION, as well as Conscience, Desire and Will. When we let any one part of our being take over our whole being we become warped and bent. We must submit our entire being to God if we want to become all that God wants us to become.
