Christian Writers
-
Why is it that every Christian writer being published these days has at least one accusation of being unbiblical?
-
because they r human
-
Because everyone can claim to interpret scripture 'in the name of the Church' and 'inspired by the Holy Spirit'.
-
because there are some writers they think of a topic they feel like writing and then search the bible for supporting verses which is wrong and can be out of context.
some write for the sake of monetary gain, some try to promote a particular method that works for him/her but failed to see that such may not work for others because our God is not a robot but living.
The Book 'Prayer of Jabez' is one such failure and 'heretical' example. the writer seemed to promote that by reciting that prayer uttered by Jabez a person can increase in wealth and possession. That resulted in people uttering the prayer blinding and in many ways make the bible verse sound like a mantra. That is ridiculous. As in the case of Holy Communion, we can easily pervert the sacred things of God by our foolishness and ignorance.
Seek God, not the method. -

which reminds me of the time, many years ago, when my church embarked on the CG movement. Insisted on following Ralph Neighbours' method of CG.... to the extreme.... I was, like, boh koh leng ai tai chi... how come must be exact?
another reason is that some Christian writers are so puffed up with self-worth that they think that they've got a hotline to God so whatever they say must be correct. -

As for me, i love reading old Christian writers [1800's below]. i feel safe. -
If I recall the old writers weren't free of questions as well...
but good writers do exist today, i find the real mark of a good christian writer not somebody who is humble and honest. -

1) the writers are human
2) the readers are human
3) their accusers are human
so all three are open to errors and miss-understanding... -
I think everyone can be a christian writer if he or she wants to. If you want to earn money, then you sent your writings for print.
