Miles J. Stanford

Hi Suzugos,

I noticed that you cut and pasted from the Miles J. Stanford website http://www.withchrist.org/center.htm , criticisms of Oswald Chambers, Martyn Lloyd Jones, John MacArthur, Walter Martin and others.  I find it interesting that you are going after these men who have faithfully proclaimed the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Each of these men would be the first to admit that they are not infallible or without error, unlike some who do/did claim to be without error on matters of faith, such as the pope, Joseph Smith, and Ellen White. 

After Jesus Christ and the Apostles, every man's writings is subject to error.  That certainly includes the people you have criticized and  that definitely includes Miles J. Stanford.  In fact, Miles made Phil Johnson's bad theology webpage:

Phil had this to say about Miles J. Stanford:

Here you will find the musings of the late Miles Stanford, self-appointed guardian of dispensational truth. Stanford was devoted to some of the more arcane idiosyncrasies of early dispensationalism. He insisted, for example, that Paul introduced a new and different gospel, not the same message preached by the other Apostles. Stanford was piqued by modern dispensationalists who have abandoned these and other bizarre features of Darbyism and Scofieldism. He wrote and distributed papers attacking those whom he believed were drifting. Those papers, and several of Stanford's other writings, are here.

Phil maintains the Spurgeon website and the Hall of Church History website.  Both are outstanding. Check them out:

I do not want to debate this topic with you.  Perhaps you would like to email Phil and explain why Miles does not deserve such an honor.

I am posting this for the sole purpose of exhorting you to pray for the Holy Spirit to lead you and preach Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  Don't get bent out of shape on secondary issues such as dispensationalism, the gifts of the Spirit, age and mode of baptism, etc.  Christians can respectfully disagree on these topics.  But we must remain united on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Secondary issues should never be a source of division, but they do divide when people make them primary and elevate them equal to or over the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  There is a debate forum here for that purpose, if you are so inclined.   However, I do exhort you to focus, like a lasar beam, on the Gospel of our Lord and SaviorJesus Christ. 

Finally, I have one question for you.  Are you friends with Batchman and/or Tetelestai?  They are the only others I have ever seen who have cut and pasted from Miles J. Stanford's  website.
