Speaking with my pastor... with a real doctorate. I told him I had trouble enjoying reading the Bible, so therefore I read books about the Bible, i.e. Smith Wiggles worth etc.... He investigated me.
It was THIS he found so destructive
Wierwille argues that the Bible as a whole is not relevant to all people of all times. Every word of Scripture is equally inspired by God, he says, but different books were addressed to different audiences. The Old Testament and the Four Gospels are for the Jews and Gentiles; the rest of the New Testament is for the "Church of God" of "born-again believers."
Next, the fear of the "Jesus spirit" and not understanding Jesus. Thus, taking away our conversational fellowship with him.
Then, the misleading our focus... Such as we read Romans and we focused on Jesus being the creation and people worshiping the created more than the creator - even though all the verses around it condemned the behaviors going on in TWI.
Then, VP had us focus on the GRACE administration - because all his sins could be forgiven as he twisted that up in his favor.
So VP, took away the Bible, the savior, and had us focus on GRACE - this ladies and gentlemen - was a false prophet.
For to loose intimacy with God always leads to sexual sin.
Then, the erroneous teaching to NOT SAY THINGS OUT LOUD or the devil will hear it!
The Bible does NOT teach that, as a matter of fact, the POWER of God is unleashed in SPEAKING - from Let there be light to the LOUD voice you hear in Revelations...
So, we had our Bible taken, our Jesus minimized, our focus redirected, our speaking the word/prayer power diminished, GRACE to sin exhaled - and we wonder why (for some) it is hard to read the Bible?
