Jesus made it explicitly clear in John Chapter that if you continue or abide in his word, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
Ever wondered if your beliefs are truly your own or just inherited traditions? In this episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries, Rick Peterson kicks off a series aimed at helping you break free from the lies often perpetuated by traditionalists. He argues that discerning these falsehoods doesn't require a theological degree but does demand a willingness to scrutinize your current beliefs and practices—something many shy away from.
Peterson dives into the critical role of listening to the spirit's voice rather than relying solely on traditional readings of the Bible or man-made doctrines. He stresses that pastors and theologians have a duty to guide new converts in reading scripture through the lens of the spirit. Failure to do so, he warns, can lead to a dangerous flirtation with apostasy—a terrifying state of spiritual disarray.
This episode isn't just about identifying lies; it's about fostering a deeper connection with the divine by prioritizing spiritual guidance over rigid traditions. By examining our beliefs and practices, we can find true freedom and avoid the pitfalls of placing human traditions above scripture. Peterson emphasizes that this isn't a controversial stance but a necessary step in abiding in the word of Jesus.
The episode is a call to action for both new and seasoned believers to listen to the spirit's voice for wisdom and discernment, thereby equipping themselves to live a life rooted in truth. Tune in to explore how spiritual discernment can lead to genuine freedom from the lies that often go unquestioned.
