Paul's Passing Thoughts

Hitler never really hid his intentions; nevertheless, when the truth came out the world was horrified. That’s because people didn’t pay close attention to his words, and assumed he really didn’t mean what he seemed to be  saying. Hence, when New Calvinists say that “ALL REALITY” is interpreted by the gospel, we assume they don’t really mean, you know, “all” reality. But they do. The following link is to a Dr. Phil show. The doctor is incredulous that ” Raylynn” fell for, and believed the ridiculous antics of cult leader Curly Thornton for nine years (this is an amazing study). But what the good doc doesn’t understand is that Cult 101 is about the interpretation of reality; a lost art and emphasis in our day, especially in the church. Multitudes of New Calvinist parishioners witness behavior that clearly contradicts the plain sense of Scripture, so why do they condone it?  “We trust the elders; they are the ones who can most often see the situation in its ‘gospel context.'” Cults always hijack  the epistemology; again, that’s Cult 101. The link follows. This woman is not stupid, she was brainwashed into interpreting reality subjectively. After that, anything is possible.
