Hey there, I just wanted to give you a heads up.
I was excited to check out the resource links for high school.
Upon clicking the first, alarm bells went off in my head. I’ve been here before, I thought, and I “ran away” (lol)– why? Why?
I kept clicking around until I found at least ONE of the reasons why I’d run away. It’s this: http://www.hope-of-israel.org/virginbirthdoctrine.htm
The reason remembering why this site raised red flags was disappointing–and I would be curious to know your thoughts– is because I would think that an article such as this calls the credibility of the site’s resources altogether into question:
– Can the writer(s)/contributor(s) be trusted to provide truthful information?
– Or are they primarily interested in relaying only what advances their agenda?
(Side note: I actually went back and forth about this article, and other related ones, via email with a J. Keyser until he stopped responding.)
– What if– since I directed my high school student here– she felt like it was fairly safe to go perusing and started to come across jarring teaching like this?
(Admittedly, when I read this, I went through a bit of a crisis of faith and became very emotional and discouraged. YHVH is gracious, though, and quieted my heart as He drew me back to His Truth.)
Understanding the Hebraic roots of our faith, I think, is vitally important, but I have discovered– since embarking on this journey– that one has to be ever so careful about who one’s listening to, what he/she is reading, and about the writers’ biases (seeking to know that as best one can). Praise God, we have His Word and His anointing, whereby we are taught all things and truth (1Jn 2: 24-27)
What do you think? Does this concern you?
