'Speak Life' = Corrupting the Text

He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound (healthy) doctrine and also to rebuke (shine the light of TRUTH on) those who contradict it. Titus 1:9.

This is the Apostle Paul's instruction regarding the qualifications for a man to serve as an Elder in the body of Christ. This is necessary because since day 1 there have been those who teach heretical and apostate principles to God's people as though what they teach is the TRUTH. 

There is such a movement alive and well in Cullman County. It is known as the 'Speak Life' movement. Their premise is base upon Romans 4:17 . . . 'Who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.' Sound interpretive exegesis makes it profoundly clear that this is referring to God, NOT NOT NOT a Christian believer. Only God has this power and it is corrupt to assign this power to a believer. It is twisting and distorting the text of Scripture which demands a rebuke (the light of TRUTH to be focused on this corruption).

This practice is embraced by a entire cadre of people teaching false doctrine; Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, etc. DO NOT be deceived. Flee this corruption. These people embrace a whole host of apostate principles. Joyce Meyer declares that Jesus ceased to be the Son of God while he was on the cross. If this is true then there is no redemption. 

I declare these things to honor the office and responsibility of the office of Elder/Pastor/Teacher which God has graciously enabled me to fill for 47 years. I stand ready to exegetically substantiate these TRUTHS for any and all that may choose to examine the text of Scripture on these claims.
