Flat Stone Teachers and Flat Stone Teaching

[Zenas]

____________

Flat Stone Teachers (FST) are those who skip over controversial passages / verses of Scripture,
especially those that conflict with their current Weltanschauung.

Flat Stone Teaching is teaching that hops (no pun intended - this being "Easter Egg Sunday") from one favorite out-of-context passage to another out-of-context passage, passages that seem to support the Flat Stone Teacher's currently held beliefs and teaching.

Most of the audience - and they are audiences, as they attend the "church services" to be entertained by the music director's entertainment program for that particular service - will not know or neither will they care if the teaching is as twisted as a pretzel - as long as their itching ears are scratched and the FST gets them back on their Lazy Boy before the start of their next entertainment for the day - the in season Beasts and Their Ball Game.

The "pastor's" flat stone teaching will keep the audience in a state of ignorance for another week, until the next week's programming in Judeo-Christian, ie, Scofield/Darbyism doctrine of the jews being "God's Chosen" is delivered.

Bring up the fact that the FST skipped right over the verse or verses that contradict what the FST was teaching, and you're immediately labeled a trouble maker, a division maker or worse. Nevermind that you can run circles around the FST and his flat stone teaching, no one wants to know what you think.

I actually had a "leader" of this particular church tell me "

The points you make seem logical – when you start with your position on GEN 3 – but are so radically different from where I am at today that I’m not willing to simply “jump ship” so to speak and embrace them.

In other words, "how can you, even though the points you make seem logical, be right, when what you say is so radically different from what I and everyone else believes?"

"Baaa baaa. I'm going to go with the sheeple, rather than what the Word of God says, because who are you among so many?"

Thank Yahweh that Joshua and Caleb, and Noah, and all the rest did what Yahweh commanded them, rather than what everyone else said.

Yes I am aware of this, Universalists alway's use the same bible verses to justify that all races are free to become Christians.

The minute you even say anything to disprove their theory, you are met with hostility and sometimes rage. Many of the judeos have only known that version of Christ, and are many times too 'caught up' in what their grandfathers preacher says to even consider that it could be away from the truth.

No matter what, we must let scripture tell us the message...no man, no false hopes and promises. We know this, but I'm sure there are those in our families that still cannot see. I put trust in Yahweh in this. I know that we are chosen to learn the truth, and it is not my place to think that I can convert anyone. All I can do is attempt to point out to them the lies, and hope that they see those first.

Yah bless
