Didactics w/ D.A. Horton: ABUSED OT TEXTS, pt 3 - "we are little gods"

In the urban context, the idea that we can 'speak things into being', 'call those things which are not, as tho they are', and are declared to be 'a part of the god class because we're made in God's image' get preached on a regular basis. The passage that is often abused is Psalm 82:6 (often teachers who advocate we're are little gods, quote John 10:34-36 as a proof text and then take it back to the Psalm 82:6 passage that Jesus was quoting).

The answer to the question 'are we little gods' should seem simple to answer (NO!), however there are many teachers in our day who argue up and down that we are. Tune in today to hear what the CONTEXT of Psalm 82 is addressing and who the fulfillment of this Psalm is.

Didactics w/ D.A. Horton - ABUSED OT TEXTS, pt 2 - "If my people..."

Does the "if my people, who are called by my name" promise healing in the Land of the Unites States of America? Tune in today to see what the context of this passage deals with. As Christians we must remember we are a 'spiritual ethnicity' and God has blessed the Church with promises of biblical covenants through Jesus Christ, and God has not made a 'special' covenant with the USA or any other country outside of Israel.

Today we will focus on 1 Chronicles 16:22 dealing with "God's anointed" and what "harming" them includes expsing false doctrine or sin issues in lives of teachers/preachers/ministers.
