In reply to the discussion: Vance to attend event with evangelist who said Harris used 'witchcraft' [View all]PatrickforB
(15,109 posts)who is fond of saying that the early Catholic church actually chained the bible to the pulpit and kept everyone but priests from communicating spiritual truth. This caused a certain misguidedness, for example the selling of indulgences (basically bribing a priest to absolve one from sins).
Then when we had the reformation, the Protestant idea was that each person was their own priest based on their own interpretation of scripture.
So this so-called 'prophet' has essentially sold himself for fame and money. Many of these Evangelical pastors have fallen prey to this temptation - their own fears and insecurities lead them to distract themselves from true pastoral care with pride, anger, greed, envy, lust, gluttony and addictive distractions that keep people from elevating their consciousness into realms of reason, love, peace, joy and finally enlightenment.
The problem with adhering to the teachings of one such as Wallnau is that when you sacrifice faith and values for temporal power and wealth, you will still learn but that learning will be as a result of the suffering you endure from such slavish devotion to someone who cares only for their own aggrandizement.
Sadly, this is not the true message of Christ.
