Andy Stanley wants to "Unhitch" the O.T. from the N.T.

Or is it earlier than that? "Let us Make Man in Our *Image*"--2 Cor. 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.;
Romans 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

 

I made it where Andy said, “You are not accountable to the 10 Commandments,” and then I zapped the page on my iPad.

So, we are not accountable when we...

Put other gods before Him
Take His name in vain
Murder someone
Telling a lie
Steal from our neighbors

:Cautious:rolleyes:

 

Luke 24:27

 

Guess he is NCT, and holds to no Law bu the law of Christ!

 

They saw that in the person and ministry of Jesus, all of the OT promises were not being really fufilled, so would they unhitching from the OT then? They were instead completing it!

 

He’s anti-bible, anti-Sola Scriptura.

He then tries to break the Bible, a book of 66 harmonious books, into segments. Oy vey!

 

What is really odd is that sometimes the Holy Spirit seems to be, per their accounting, directing them to really strang points and ways, so no wonder they have to get part of the Bible put away!
Must one doubt what is really going on, as the Spirit would not "unhitch" them from what he inspired to write!

 

Well, those Apostles directed us all way back to Adam and genesis!

 

Guess Jesus quoted and used OT scriptures, so Stanley is saying now that Jesus should not have been doing that?

 

Who knows? He says things eloquently, but he trips himself up.

 

Wonder what His dad thinks about His theology?

 

The closest I have seen that is in Presbyterian ecclesiology. Presbyterians believe the New Covenant is a refreshed Old Covenant, not completely new. I am as Reformed-friendly as a Baptist can be and reject the Presbyterian view.

 

I would like to give Andy Stanley the benefit of the doubt but he has made a series of "interesting" statements over the years that strain orthodoxy. Maybe he is just pushing the envelope for the sake of pushing it but when it comes to communicating the truth of God's word to a large and diverse audience, that is not necessarily a good thing.

 

So I guess this one isn't in his Bible?... Brother Glen:)

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

 

I agree Mega Church... Mega error!:eek:... Brother Glen:Frown

 

He is a public speaker.
His talks are not to be confused with sermons.
Everyone gave him the benefit of the doubt the first couple of times...now he is getting more absurd.
You can drink the koolaid if you want to, but I will pass.
I could not recommend for anyone to go there.
Thankfully.....even in that place God has some faithful Christians like quantumfaith who might help those who enter in there.

 

So, you didn't listen to his sermon?

 

You have to keep him in full context.

 

I listened to the whole sermon and all four wheels on his wagon fell off.

 

That's why I said all four wheels on his wagon fell off. He's not a person to be trusted in the pulpit.
