(CNN) - Can you speak Christian?
Have you told anyone Im born again? Have you walked the aisle to pray the prayer?
Did you ever name and claim something and, after getting it, announce, Im highly blessed and favored?
Many Americans are bilingual. They speak a secular language of sports talk, celebrity gossip and current events. But mention religion and some become armchair preachers who pepper their conversations with popular Christian words and trendy theological phrases.
If this is you, some Christian pastors and scholars have some bad news: You may not know what youre talking about. They say that many contemporary Christians have become pious parrots. They constantly repeat Christian phrases that they dont understand or distort.
I live by the WORD not other people's words. The Bible speaks for itself and each person must let it speak to them and each person interprets it differently. If ye seek ye shall find. There are many false prophets spouting lies, and misrepresentations in this world today but the Bible does not change. In the end you must measure what they say against what the Bible says. If you trust in the Lord and have taken him as your Savior then he will guide you through these turbulent waters.

Did you ever “name and claim” something and, after getting it, announce, “I’m highly blessed and favored?”

1 John 4
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

Shit. Well ... God Bless you too Dearest.
Just so you know He's got your back covered.
I did think there were some things in this piece that were fair representations, one of those things being the way politicians use the language as a code to Christian voters to say, "I am one of you."
I know a lot of people who speak like this who are NOT what they put themselves out to be. And I know a lot of people who speak like this who ARE what they put themselves out to be. And I know a lot of people who would rather have someone mistake them for less than they are than to mistake them for more than they are, and so while they are very devout people, they do not speak like this.

The Bible is a Tool. The Bible is a Language in Itself. This is nothing new. It is a mind set, it just has been around longer than most of it's competition. Old Religions compare to it, and translate in harmony with it in many ways. Just not all.
The New Age is not It's own mindset? Of course it is.
Stay classy.Unless saying god damn it, or jesus fucking christ, or some veneration of them count....then no i do not habla that language.

Ill believe it when i see it. So far he is falling down on the job.
Figures.I live by the WORD not other people's words. The Bible speaks for itself and each person must let it speak to them and each person interprets it differently. If ye seek ye shall find. There are many false prophets spouting lies, and misrepresentations in this world today but the Bible does not change. In the end you must measure what they say against what the Bible says. If you trust in the Lord and have taken him as your Savior then he will guide you through these turbulent waters.
Only one question for you: Which Bible?
only KJV.
