Not only "on the internet." Anyone, even your pastor, your father, your mother, could have an agenda, contrary to God'sβ¦or just be not as smart as they think they are.
And for that matter don't; "just trust" your own feelings. We are not "all-knowing," only God is.
So have a critically thinking mind, even a skeptical mind. Just don't be a sceptic for the sake of skepticism. Demand clarity and results. "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." β Matthew 7 :7-8
theres a lot of people who feel like they have special knowledge to give to the world, combined with the ability to reach lots of people is a bad combination. they dont have the discernment. also they go to online bible colleges for 2 years or liberty for 4 years and call themselves a pastor. all of these people ive met dont have the emotional maturity when you disagree with them, even on the smallest of things.
AMEN ππ Study to show thyself approved!
