Southern Gospel Heresies

Christ is certainly a stumbling block! Wouldn't Joel have to cut the book of John out of his Bible for his theology to work? Isn't Christ the stumbling block to Judaism because of monotheistic beliefs? I wonder if Joel also believes in salvation for Jews outside of Christ... I would not be surprised if he did.

Well Martin, you certainly tested the spirits!!! You tested all kinds of spirits in Joel :thumbs: I thank his angry response to Martin's email stands as proof. Why would a Christian be angry about scrutiny over his doctrine is he knew it to be true?

 

Christian radio stations should know about this heresy...
We should call them and let them know we don't want to hear any Hemphill songs until Joel claims beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus IS God....

And if this doesn't work, take it to the advertisers of the stations...

I have never been for boycotts... but this is serious. People should not make money from a ministry in which they claim that Jesus is not God.

 

"All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." Matthew 11:27

Mr. Hemphill should really be nicer to Jesus.

 

What mmetts said!

Love you bunches,

I own one of the early low-power FM stations. We are a contemporary Christian station, but we limit out music (a LOT). You would be amazed at the AMOUNT of music that we throw out each year as un-playable either due to doctrine or just out-right --- 'well, you know'.

When we first started over 7 years ago we were playing a good portion of the contemporary charts, today, we are playing less than 10% of it, strictly because one listen is all it takes to decide if a song is Biblical.

We cover the state's maximum security prison with the station and it has become an important ministry for this reason alone simply because we have 100 to 200 (depending on prison population at the time) listeners who have formed a group that listen to us and even send us donations to pay he RIDICULOUS license fees we have to pay to advertise their music (You know, the music that is supposed to show the way to God, while adding money to the pockets of the record producers.

I have been involved in secular radio and I can say one thing--at least in secular radio, they are honest "We're in this for the MONEY!", then you look at the huge and growing Christian radio market. Or should I say "religious" market. It is growing by the day and it is related to ONE THING---how much money can the artist, producer and music company put in their pockets. At least Harry Potter books are being sold for money. (I say this "tongue-in-cheek" to get my point across.)

This guy doesn't surprise me one iota. The bottom line is -- in order to be successful, it helps to be "different". Look at "Criss Angel" the new magician. Is his majic new? NO---His presentation and "show" is. So, don't be suprised when you find these famous jerks having very strange theologies. They are more worried about those green bills in their pockets than the number of people they bring to the Lord (At least a good portion of them--I will leave this open for the very few who do this for the Lord's sake and most of the ones that I know who do this are NOT in the hall of fames, nor are they the rich ones. The hall of fame should be for God, not for a singer. Do we have worship centers for Paul or John today? I don't think so.

 

It's about time someone elses mom comes on the BB to say "Hi" and encourage :laugh:

I was feeling like the only one

Mine comes and goes since she is dealing with Lupus and a recent back surgery.
In any case... Mom, your reading this
"Hi, mom!" :wavey:

 

:laugh:

That's my Momma alright. I love you too Momma!

Allan, I am sorry to hear about your Mom's struggles with Lupus. I'll pray for her.

It's really neat to be in a forum with one's Mom.
