Hi everybody,

I really don't know what to do or think now. Even if Prince should teach 99% truth and then 1% error then this 1% error still becomes a stumbling block to people like me. How shall I trust somebody who simply makes false claims?

When you listen to Prince you'll also often notice that he says things like "in the original greek it says this or that" and he never gives a quote or a proof. I also wonder now if those things are true or also false.

Hi,

I hope I can help you out a little. First of all, there are NO preachers I have heard that preach 100% accuracy or at least 100% that I totally agree. There will always some minor points here and there that are disagreeable among preachers.

Sometimes preachers will play with scriptures and see certain things that others don't see like the small details that you mentioned earlier. But that doesn't mean that they are wrong in the rest of the message. If you do not agree with it you can always reject it or KIV for future reference.

What I usually do is just ignore the disagreeable first and KIV and check with the Bible till I can be sure I am right. NEVER take any preacher's sermons wholesale without checking with the Bible. By that I don't mean be suspicious of your pastor all the time. Learn to listen to the witness of the Holy Spirit in your spirit, if something is from God there is a witness that say "yes". If something is error, there will be an uneasy feeling in your heart. But this you have to learn and it's not easy. But if your heart is right and sincerely God will show it to you.

The most important thing is the fundamental doctrines that cannot be compromised such as the death and resurrection of Christ, forgiveness through His blood, 2nd coming etc. Foe example, if anyone says Jesus is not God or the Bible is not the Word of God, then don't listen to him. Don't over worry about small variation of details. Just ignore it.

Keep reading the Bible, the more you read the more you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

As for the original greek or hebrew thingy, you can buy a concordance from the bookstore and check them out or just google them. I have heard different preachers who give different meanings to the same greek/hebrew word too but I usually just KIV them till I check with appropriate sources.

God Bless You!
