2. Anyone/anything who distracts you from knowing God
better, you should avoid them.


So, one should not listen to atheists? Should atheists
be allowed to preach? Do atheists have equal rights as
theists?


5. Who are we to judge men  woman of God? They are
all God's people  He will deal with them.


So, we should not question the views and practices of
people who claim to be men/women of God? Should we
never distrust them? Should we believe everything they
say? Should we tolerate their prejudice? Should we
believe their miracles?

Cheers,

Santosh

 Hello Goanetters,
 
 Though there is much controversy about the 'Festival of Blessings' conducted
 in Bangalore by Benny Hinn, I would like to put forth my views:
 
 1.Any person who takes you closer to God is a blessing.

RESPONSE: I do not think denigrating other Religions is a way forward
and would bring one closer to God. From your writing one would
perceive that you are a right fundamentalist Christian. We can well do
without extremism - from all quarters of all Religions.
