The Expositor 39;s Study Bible Pdf Free Download

[Reuquen Boyett]

Itshould be obvious to any Christian the heretical nature of this teaching and that, if embraced, would bring one to have a lower regard for the Scripture and instead pay more attention to Jimmy Swaggart; the prophet with a new revelation.

It begs the question: How does Jimmy Swaggart know that all of the apostles did not understand the cross of Christ? This is what he alleges. How is it possible for a man living in the 21st century to know what people thought or believed in the 1st century? There are only two ways: One, he perceived it from reading the writings of these men in the Bible, or two, it was revealed to him by God.

Let us examine the first one; that he perceived it in their writings in the Bible. In that case, he would be saying that he found the instruction of the Bible incomplete and insufficient and is considering his enlightenment above the Holy Scripture. That is clearly a heretical statement.

As can be seen, trying to make a direction of north outside of planet earth leaves you with a ridiculously bizarre hodge-podge of inane impossibilities; the kind of nonsense you might find in a commentary written by a high-school drop-out.

All of these things tend to make one think that Jimmy Swaggart considers his knowledge to be above the Bible. Add to that the fact that Jimmy Swaggart constantly says that God has spoken to him and given him a revelation that is new to the church.[4] The case is strong that Swaggart wants people to hold his own writings above the Bible. Would he admit to that? Probably not. Does he consciously or unconsciously want his followers to put their faith in him? Do his followers unwittingly follow his teaching instead of the Bible? Most certainly.

There are similarities between Mormonism and Swaggartism.

Any writing that alleges that the apostles did not have a proper or complete understanding of the doctrines of Christianity is an attack upon Holy Scripture, for the apostles are the authority of the writings of the New Testament. Such an attack, is an attack against Christendom itself, and should be refuted with all diligence.

Jesus said you can recognize a false teacher by the bad fruit. How much bad fruit does Jimmy Swaggart need to have before you recognize him as a false prophet? If this is not enough wickedness, how much more debauchery must you see before you will open your eyes? Then there is all the plagiarism and defamation he has been convicted of in court and the crooked land deals and the manufacture of posters for nightclubs his ministry has been involved in. Bad, bad fruit of a false teacher. More recently Swaggart has started teaching that he alone has the gospel and that you must follow him to be saved. No, that is another gospel. We are saved by following Jesus Christ, not Jimmy Swaggart.

They do archive most of their programming, and make it available on the SBN website. It goes back about 30 days. Is it possible to get a clip off one of the archived programs?

If so, I can get you the dates when these things were said.

Hi TR and thanks for your comment on my website. I have answered your comment and I hope you will take the time to read it. Since it had lots of quotes and is lengthy and included your text as well, it would be confusing to read it in the comment section so it up as an article. It is more readable that way. You can find it at this link:

I too love the anointed music and messages of the Swaggarts. However, I too am confused about the new vision of sanctification. We, as born again believers have always gone to the cross. We have always believed that we grow in grace and knowledge if we continue to walk in the faith. While I do not believe God is pleased with the denominational church system of today, it is hard to believe that the Swaggart vision is true. And then again The Spirit of God is so strong in their services. You know and I know that the early Church was wrong in signing the Nicene creed. No longer trusting God for truth but putting faith into a creed and eventually the Pope. My creed is the Word of God. I walk by the WORD OF GOD and I try not to lean to my own understanding. There is only one God and one Doctrine and one church for all. Please do not tell me the Church is invisible. I do not know how God is going to bring all of his children together. I hope it is soon.

Hi Lena, I believe this article I wrote on denominations will be helpful to you: -denominationalism/

Concerning the Nicene Creed: It came about in reaction to cultists who denied the deity of Christ. Every statement of the Nicene Creed is sound biblical doctrine and its main point is to affirm what the Bible says: That Jesus is God. My faith is not in the creed itself, but in the Holy Scripture, which gives us the knowledge to judge whether or not any creed or statement is Biblically correct.

It is a bit ambiguous as to whether he intends to say that Paul was still living sinfully when he wrote Romans. Swaggart in another writing elaborates further and says that he thinks Paul got the victory by the time he wrote Romans. So you are correct in that point. However he also says that the Apostle Paul lived and preached for years while being a sinful failure. Of course we all know this is still an absurd statement.

Swaggart is big on insisting that no one can live victoriously for God without his special revelation. Unfortunately for Jimmy, two thousand years of countless numbers of Christians living victoriously without his supposed revelation, belies his assertion. If only Jimmy would simply confess that his sin is his own fault and humbly rely only on the mercy, grace and forgiveness that is available in Christ and his shed blood.

At risk of alienating myself from her side completely I want to do an academic essay over this book and the minor flaws as well as the major. Looking into little things such as logical fallacies he uses to sort of turn the reader to his way of thinking.

Until we are all glorified, we are ALL imperfect and are subject to mistakes, errors and sin. That includes you, me and every single one of us. At one time or another (maybe even now), we have ALL been disobedient to and prideful in our heart before Our Almighty and Loving God. So, instead of gossiping about one another, let us pray for one another that we may all grow in Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus.

Father God, we pray for all that have come together on this webpage to defend and uphold Your Word. Father, we all have a passion and love for You and Your Word made flesh, Christ Jesus Our Lord and Savior. We ask You Father, through Your Holy Spirit, help us to uphold Your Word all while bringing correction to our brothers and sisters in a manner befitting a disciple and follower of the Lord Christ Jesus. Help us all to do so with love for one another, in understanding and in prayer.

Hi Robert, Thanks for your input! I agree with all you say. Yes, Kenneth Copeland is a false teacher. I should put something on this site about him. That whole word of faith movement is filled with very dangerous false teaching, as you have pointed out. God bless!

Hi Julie, I am so pleased that my writings were a help to you. I get lots of hate mail from Swaggarites and it always an encouragement to get a comment such as yours. This is a labor of love and it is for you and others who are able to see the fallacy of Swaggartism that I have spent the many hours to get the truth out. A common thread I see is that the ministry of the Swaggarts has brought division in so many Christian families. The fruit of the Spirit does not come out of his ministry, but rather strife. God bless you as you walk with the Lord.

Hi Dale, thanks for your comment. If working hard validated a ministry and was a stamp of veracity and orthodoxy then we should all join the Mormon or Jehovah Witness cults, as they work extremely hard.

It is the errant doctrine and the financial scandals of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries that is of prime concern.

First I want to say thank you for your article I have only seen Jimmy Swaggart one time and that was enough for me to Judge his words using the Bible. My mother has been watching Swaggart for some time. The last time I was there she had him on the TV and noticed the how he perverted the Gospel and I informed her of it. I am a firm believer that the best commentary on the Bible is the Bible. I have read through the comments and some many talked about judging and that we as Christians are not to judge. The verses in Matthew 7:1 they use for their argument are taken out of context. They need to read the Bible in the Context in which it was written. They need to read that whole chapter or at least Mathew 7:1-5

The things showing in those videos happened over 25 years ago. How would you stand up if people we always dragging your past out and displaying it as if you were still doing those things. God forgives and forever forgets.

Perhaps you will see the fallacy of your argument if I turn it around on you: Why not just pray for me if you think I am wrong? Are you judging me? Why does Swaggart not just pray for other ministries and churches if he thinks they are wrong? Why does he judge and rail against so many of them? Have you read where Swaggart condemns all other churches as of the devil? Why do you not apply your standard of never judging to Swaggart?

There is a pervasive liberal attitude about these matters within the modern church; a lukewarm, Pollyanna, watered-down pseudo-Christian viewpoint that is not based upon scripture but upon the loose morals of society. Please click the link below and read my article, Forgiveness for the Fallen. I believe it will help you to examine these things from a biblical perspective.
