SOUTHERN BAPTIST BIBLE TEACHER BETH MOORE
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jun 9, 2009 in Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, Current Issues, Southern Baptist Convention
The idols among the smooth stones of the ravines are your portion; they, they are your lot. Yes, to them you have poured out drink offerings and offered grain offerings. In the light of these things, should I relent? You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill; there you went up to offer your sacrifices.
Behind your doors and your doorposts you have put your pagan symbols. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed, you climbed into it and opened it wide; you made a pact with those whose beds you love, and you looked on their nakedness. (Isaiah 57:6-8)
Climbing In Bed With Idols And Spiritual Harlots Is Spiritual Adultery
In the section of the Be Still…And Know That I Am God DVD called Cloud of Witnesses: Contemplative Figures Throughout History, i.e. so-called “Christian” mystics, SBC Bible teacher Beth Moore gives us some very revealing information concerning a growing rebellion against Sola Scriptura within “Protestant” evangelicalism. Her misguided words reveal it really is as I have been doing my best to warn of here at Apprising Ministries; there is indeed a quickly growing apostasy absolutely rampant within what is essentially the Ecumenical Church of Deceit (ECoD) of a postevangelicalism.
Since I have apparently missed a few memos within the SBC, I hadn’t realized until recently that those letters now appearently stand for “Slowly Becoming Catholic.” In Be Still Beth Moore says:
You know, one of the things that time gives us is that it erases the lines in between people so many different sections of the people of God. Because many years later it doesn’t matter any longer that this person was of this practice in the Christian faith and this person of another. Time somehow blurs those lines and we are profoundly moved by the historical narratives of all their lives, of so great a cloud of witnesses; that we can look back on and see what kept them running the race, what kept them running toward the face of Christ at the end of that finish line. (channel 1, 00:18-00:50)
So what do you suppose this extremely popular SBC Bible teacher is talking about in the above section of Be Still; one that’s dedicated to the praise of so-called “Christian” mystics of the Counter Reformation exalted e.g. by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster, and who were practitioners of apostate Roman Catholicism. Yet Moore tells us that time somehow “erases the lines.” She’s referring to the Reformation during which many of Christ’s beloved children were brutally murdered at the hands of the Roman Catholic Church.
O, but now “time” has somehow done away with all of this; no, it most certainly hasn’t. Rather, it is the work of spiritually spineless professing Christians, who are themselves right now covered in the blood of these martyrs, who are doing so through the neo-Gnostic practices of Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM). This is, right now, becoming a problem in the Southern Baptist Convention; as you can see in Baptist State Convention Of North Carolina (SBC) Points Us To Renovare International Conference, and in More On Matt Chandler, the venom of CSM is even seeping into the Reformed camp at large.
As long as God chooses to sustain AM and me, you can count on it that I will have a lot more to say about this ongoing reversal of the Lord’s Reformation in the days to come.
