Among other things, I found one of those forums, where people can leave their views and comments. One fellow, obviously not a fan of this preacher, astonished me with his reasoning, on two points.
*****************
Here's a synthesis of what he wrote:
1) This preacher is false because he believes in the Trinity...and the Trinity (according to the writer) is the heart of paganism! Besides, it's satanic! (He then sort of confuses things by saying that "it's not that anyone's going to Hell for believing in the Trinity, but it's the first step for going there."!)
2) This preacher is false because he is such an obvious "Bibli-idolator". (That's the closest I can get to his term in Spanish.) The writer "proves" it by pointing out that the preacher has "an excessive love of the Bible". After telling us the dangers of this, he adds "We must not give the Bible priority over common sense, since the latter is God's intelligence here and now."
*****************************
Wow! He obviously doesn't know much about the Bible! If you ever come across someone with these off-base theories, here are some verses with which to counter, and in which to find comfort.
1) "For through Him {Jesus, the Son} we have access to the Father by the Holy Spirit." (Ephesians 2:18) It's clear that there are three separate persons, each with his own part.
"For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father,, the Word {Jesus, the Son}, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one." (I John 5:7) It couldn't be clearer!
*************************
2) Was the psalmist a false believer? Of course not! He wrote: "I have thoroughly tested your promises and that is why I love them so much." (Psalm 119:140)
Psalm 1:2 says the person is blessed "whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on it day and night."
When God was beginning to compile the Scriptures, through Moses, He went into detail about how important His word was, issuing them these commands:
"Impress them on your children...Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road...when you lie down and when you get up...Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them to your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." (Deuteronomy 6:6-9) In other words, maintain the Word of God as closely intertwined with your lives as possible.

Thank You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for the awesome job You did of letting us know so much about You and explaining what we need to know to follow and love You - in your Word, superior - by far!! - to our limited human thoughts and reasoning...and without which we would be lost!
Lord, You are amazing!
