In ancient Rome when people were being tried for a crime they didn't have lawyers to defend themselves ,they had orators ,and one of the greatest of them was Cicero.By their elegance of speech rather than by evidence they sought to sway the senate ,even though they were guilty.Think of Hitler people were captivated by what he said,even though what he said was lies.Lets now consider,those we could call men of the cloth in other words Christian ministers,I think of two,who will remain nameless ,one captivated people by what he wrote the other by his speech.Both of them were found wanting in relation to truth they both denied the divinty of Christ and threw doubt on the virgin birth.One of them denied Christ's resurrection,and basically preached a social gospel,never mentioning the true gospel,that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners I was fooled by both of them as were many,and indeed many people still are,even though they are both dead. Most of them would be offended and angry if I said their names,I write this as a warning to all believers,be on your guard no matter how eloquent the preacher may be,if they don't speak the truth as regards Christ and all the truths concerning Him, it may be time that you changed your church.
