WRT: "Did Jesus Suffer In Hell?"

Hummm! I studied all morning on this subject, in relation to what Rt Rev Fowler wrote concerning this. I have many thoughts concerning Fowler's teaching, but what jumps out of his words are his lack of understanding of a few biblical terms.

Justification
Overcoming(overcome, overcometh)
Once

The Rt Rev's Fowler and Kear need to understand these words. I pray they understand and repent of their false illusion of Ecumenism. G_d's Word and Y'shua's timeless truth only goes forward by a position of non-compromise. Neo-Evangelicalism and Modern Ecumenism; those who seek to tear down the walls of separation, are just plain wrong. They constantly seek to build bridges to the world instead of burning those bridges.

On the evening of 31 October 1517, Martin Luther nailed the list of his ninety-five thesis to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg. Here is a list of thirteen which might help some young pastor or preacher in living and teaching the Word of Truth.

1. Scripture forbids us to have fellowship with unbelief.
2. Scripture commands us to reprove apostasy.
3. Scripture teaches us that we must purge unbelief if we can.
4. Scripture teaches that believer and unbeliever cannot be yoked together in spiritual endeavor.
5. Scripture teaches us to separate from disobedient brethren.
6. G_d's work done in G_d's way produces only good results. G_d's work done in man's way produces good and bad results.
7. Do not affiliate your church with any church, mission, movement or evangelistic effort which does not fully believe in the Word of G_d.
8. Do not affiliate your church with any church, mission, movement, or evangelistic effort with does not practice biblical separation.
9. You cannot preserve a position without crusading for it.
10. When in doubt, don't join.
11. Separation is not the answer in every disagreement between brethren.
12. The Spirit of G_d has NEVER led one Christian contrary to one word of the Word of G_d.
13. At any given time of Church history G_d is most severe on those whom he is using at that moment.

Neo-Evangelicals like Rt Rev's Fowler and Kear would laugh at the very idea of trying to write a list concerning separation, from Scripture. What they are really doing is asking men to set aside careful obedience to Scripture and to rely on human judgment. What they really espouse is the Social Gospel of the National Council of Churches, whose definitions of social involvement have led them to the precipice of communism.

What Mr. Kear is really advocating is determining to engage himself, and his followers, in the theological differences of the day. What he is really doing is leading people away from the Word of G_d.

People like the Rt Rev Fowler and Kear seek to lead men away from Biblical Truth by THEIR interpretation of extra-biblical revelation. Since they believe in salvation by works, i.e. salvation by evidence of speaking in tongues, etc., they have attempted to shift the Church away from allegiance to the Bible. Oh! They may speak Biblical things, but, they don't really believe the Bible is their final authority for Christian living. They rely, a great deal on, "HIGHER REVELATION."

Every farmer takes care of his "fence line" because it defines the borders of his farm. If all line fences were torn down, things would go on fairly well for the generation which knew were the fence used to be. However, there would be trouble in time to come with generations who never knew where the fence used to be. Neo-Evangelicalism today seeks to tear down the fence and today's generation can't even remember where it was.
