charisma; beware of false teachers
2 February 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

i am a born again Christian who believes its absolutely imperative to know what is in the word of god. this episode of law and order got deep under my skin and should be more than enough motivation to convince any rational believer to dust off their bibles and start digging into it. this is a horror story of not just what COULD happen to people who are ignorant to what God really has to say about false teachers. It DOES happen. an utter nightmare of what happens when men look to other men to do their thinking for them. my heart goes out to family members who have lost loved ones to these wolves in sheeps clothing. a message to those who are asleep and think this could never happen to them. time to wake up.thanks a million for a truly awesome job and god bless
