No. Preaching is to reprove, rebuke and exhort with all long suffereing and doctrine. I guess I just do not like preaching, compared to a commentary.

Either you consider him a Man of God or you don't. Sometimes the Lord just may check your spirit to see where your level of submission is. Yes, sometimes preaching seems contradicting. We are saved by and through faith. Not logic.

I'm not saying everything that is preached is directly from the Spirit of God but for sure, some of it is.

Re: Poll: What is Preaching?

Our neighbours started coming to church back last summer and the wife thought for sure we were telling the pastor everything she would ask and talk about during our Bible Studies, because he would get up every service and address the exact things she would ask just days before. Exact feelings she would express.

It lasted for a good 5 Sundays straight...

There is no doubt that certain preachers are in touch with God, and deliver what they strongly feel is the voice of God. All I am saying is that God's word is established in the Holy Bible, and anything a preacher says or does MUST line up with what has already been established centuries ago.

If it doesn't line up with established scripture, it's nothing but hogwash!

Were the Bereans in Acts 17:11 wrong for checking on what Paul preached? Should they have just trusted Paul and "lined up" in submission without questioning anything?

Acts 17:11
They were more noble.
