Why the Charismatics’ “Offense” Teaching Might Be Their Worst One
Whoever hates correction is stupid.
–Proverbs 12:1–
Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
–Proverbs 16:18–
—

“What Does the Bible Say About Ignoring Negative?” (Open Bible). Even on this website, which is a democratic site where people vote on Bible verses and their relevance to certain topics, you can see how many verses associated with forgiveness are misinterpreted to mean, that you should just simply ignore people who criticize you and say negative things. While I think that is wise policy with some classes of unreasonable and hateful people (Psalm 1:1), I don’t think its wise with all classes: especially ones that appear to be sincere and godly (Proverbs 9:8-9). But forgiving people and ignoring people are not synonymous. This is taking the idea of negative confession and mixing it with the idea of “forgiveness,” but the dishonesty, selfishness, untruthfulness, and unbiblicalness of it should be apparent to any honest reader of the Bible. Especially since pastors are teachers in the body of Christ; and should fear God enough to make sure that they are teaching the Word of God properly. Shutting practically every negative word off is spiritually immature and is no way to clear up your own spiritual blind spots. A certain type of selectivity about critical emails, etc should be any pastor’s policy; but not a teetotal ignoring of all of them.

GODLY SORROW, SHARP OPEN REBUKES BEFORE ALL, BURDENS OF THE LORD, the LAW, and HELL In PREACHING!
GODLY SORROW WORKETH REPENTANCE TO SALVATION not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. –2 Corinthians 7:10-11 (KJV)
CRY ALOUD, SPARE NOT, LIFT UP THY VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their SINS! –Isaiah 58:1 (KJV)
O GENERATION OF VIPERS, who hath WARNED YOU to FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME!? –Matthew 3:7 (KJV)
REBUKE THEM SHARPLY, that they may be sound in the faith. –Titus 1:13 (KJV)
When they heard this, THEY WERE PRICKED IN THEIR HEART, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? –Acts 2:37 (KJV)
WOE UNTO YOU, scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! –Matthew 23:13 (KJV)
THOU CHILD OF THE DEVIL, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to PERVERT THE RIGHT WAYS OF THE LORD!? –Acts 13:10 (KJV)
If THE WATCHMAN see the sword come, and blow not THE TRUMPET, and THE PEOPLE BE NOT WARNED; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THE WATCHMAN’S HAND. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and WARN THEM FROM ME. –Ezekiel 33:6-7 (KJV)
I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But HIS WORD WAS IN MINE HEART AS A BURNING FIRE SHUT UP IN MY BONES, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. –Jeremiah 20:9 (KJV)
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb DOGS, they cannot BARK; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. –Isaiah 56:10 (KJV) [The reverse implies that faithful preachers are like good sheepdogs that bark about sin and Hell to warn of danger.]
After my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I CEASED NOT TO WARN EVERY ONE NIGHT AND DAY WITH TEARS. –Acts 20:29-31 (KJV)
Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather REPROVE THEM. –Ephesians 5:11 (KJV)
GRIEVE not the Holy Spirit of God. –Ephesians 4:30 (KJV)
Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, TRULY THIS IS A GRIEF, AND I MUST BEAR IT. –Jeremiah 10:19 (KJV)
Since ye say, THE BURDEN OF THE LORD; therefore thus saith the Lord; Because ye say this word, The burden of the Lord, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the Lord. –Jeremiah 23:38 (KJV)
A man of sorrows, and ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF…he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows…HE HATH PUT HIM TO GRIEF. –Isaiah 53:3-4, 10 (KJV)
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion! –Amos 6:1 (KJV)
