ELEMENTS BEHIND THE JOURNEY: THE COUNTER ELEMENT

There are three elements that have gone into the purpose of Rock Solid Journey. Those three elements are the Clear Element, the Simple Element, and the Counter Element.
 This post will summarize the Counter Element.
 
Not every teaching about the Bible is accurate. In fact, some ideas are either dangerously deceptive or downright silly. There are so many movements, even some that operate with the larger church, that are drowning out the clarity and simplicity of Scripture. You can type a Bible topic on a video search engine and get teachings that are scattered across the theological spectrum.
 
There are cults and non-Christian philosophies, many of which have long-standing historical roots. There are also so-called “Christians” who have decidedly un-Biblical slants on doctrine. Some are very subtle, interjecting a unique twist on the Biblical text, creating the impression that through heavy study and perhaps divine insight, they have arrived at “new truth.” And there are some teachers and evangelists who make a very great show of promoting ideas like “all believers should be healthy and wealthy if they have just enough faith.”  There are individuals who tour the country testifying of their spectacular experiences with God, be it in seeing visions, making trips to supernatural realms (or even heaven itself), or manifesting some miraculous sign or wonder.
 
It is not our purpose to be “heresy-hunters,” “cult watchers,” or “discernment detectives.” Of course, we are to be discerning and there are many resources for Biblically based examination of various philosophies and religions. But our desire and hope is to present the Word of God simply and clearly, so that its truth stands and counters any false teaching that may present itself.
