THE DEVIL BEHIND THE PULPIT



DR. WALTER MARTIN: THE DEVIL BEHIND THE PULPIT
By Pastor Ken Silva, at Apprising Ministries

You can see these people in the cults and the occult if you have any degree of discernment at all because they are outside the church. But how do you see the Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopalian professor of theology? How do you get him in a place where you can find out his theology is? The moment you question him he reverts to orthodox terminology. And then if you press him for the definition of the terminology, he claims you’re being suspicious, bigoted, and unloving.

So the average layman is defenseless, they’ve got to take what comes from behind the pulpit, and recommended by his church authorities, because the moment he opens his mouth, he’s accused of being divisive in the church, unloving and disturbing the fellowship of the faith. When it is the devil behind the pulpit, not the victim in the pew that’s responsible for it. (Cult of Liberalism, CD Rom, Available Walter Martin Religious InfoNet )

Editor's note: "...the moment he opens his mouth, he’s accused of being divisive in the church, unloving and disturbing the fellowship of the faith. When it is the devil behind the pulpit, not the victim in the pew that’s responsible for it."

The devil is also behind the idle threats, intimidation efforts, breaches of confidentiality, secret meetings, excluding the congregation from the hearing the complaint, mediation services cancelled without explanation. Families, children crushed. And no one asks what happened...why are teachers and families missing?

All because the "pastor's authority" was challenged.

Ezekiel 22

23 And the word of the LORD came to me: 24"Son of man, say to her, You are a land that is not cleansed or rained upon in the day of indignation. 25 The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured human lives; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst. 26 Her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they have disregarded my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
