Right. No one has shown up to defend Noble & NS from my post (9/16, above). It’s as if he’s reading his own special Bible with his own special interpretation.

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.”

The text said THEY [Apostles] (PLURAL) . . . not just Pastor Peter went everywhere preaching.

It seems that Noble is the “insecure one.” If he were to be BIBLICAL, he would send OTHER MEN (PLURAL)to preach in those “multi-site” churches. Oh, wait a minute . . . if Noble did that, he could not take the credit.

This blog seems to parallel Jude’s concern. Jude’s concern is for the followers and listeners of the teachers who are guilty of ethical and doctrinal error. His audience seems to be only those who may come across or are directly under the teachings of such teachers, rather than the teachers themselves. It’s been well-documented here that PNoble has many layers of people in place on purpose to prevent such conversations from taking place.

In many ways the audience for this blog is for those who listen to PNoble, SFurtick, BCoop, etc.

Paul and Downing have given you a good response, but I’d add one more thing. It’s not just Perry who’s responsible for what he does with the Bible; you are too, especially when you know he’s corrupting it.

You’re willing to let Perry have an awkward moment before God, but how do you think that absolves you?

Have you talked to Perry about this kind of stuff?

the way your are describing how we should respond to perry is exactly how false teaching survives. John Mcarthur is very helpful here (and i’m paraphrasing). Those who twist the Bible often use the terms of unity, patience, private rebuke, mystery, etc. in maters of theology. The fact of the matter is that if false teaching can only survive in these type of atmospheres. Paul is greatly gentle with the sheep in his teaching, but has no patience for false teachers. he understood what was at stake. That’s why in Galatians he wishes the false teachers would castrate themselves. pretty strong language. Noble’s problem is not only is he twisting scripture, and teaching false things, he is often proud and arrogant about it when called out. i don’t wish he would mutilate himself, but i do wish and pray that he repents.

To answer your question – my sincere desire is that Perry would repent of all his foolishness and lead these thousands of impressionable souls into a stronger relationship with the Lord.

As far as going to him – long story, but it is posted elsewhere on this blog. Short: He doesn’t talk to us. B – Where does the assumption come from the PUBLIC teaching requires PRIVATE rebuke? While Perry is the one in error here, his listeners risk error if they follow what he is saying. It is my duty as a believer to call out false teaching.

Lastly, did God himself tell you that I will be held more accountable than Perry? Where did you get that?

If what’s being preached is biblical I don’t think it matters if it’s displayed on a video screen, and I think people who use the bible to say otherwise are as bad as multi site people using scripture to say it’s definitive!
