Thanks Ken. I believe you are correct. As brothers, they do look alike.

“Quote the Bible AT someone?” Is that his view of the value and use of the Scriptures? This is nonsense. How does he know when someone is “ready to hear?” Of course we should “listen and pray” but if that is all we do we have failed this person in a time of great need and communicated to him that we have no concrete help to offer.

They need someone to listen and pray.
As we come alongside the wounded and broken we can either be: (1) wounded healers or (2) healed wounders. The latter are very dangerous and create much pain, often by quoting the Bible. The former are those saints that are listening to God the Holy Spirit and are able to wisely speak the Scriptures into a person’s life. ”
1. Is this sound teaching? (“not ready to hear the Scripture” and the part where he says that quoting the Bible can be “very dangerous and create much pain”)
2. If not, should I respond to this Elder? (he is not in authority over me)
Thank you.

Of course, it’s not a bad idea “to read Scripture, put away all known sins, go to church regularly, and so forth.”
But to try to “prepare” someone to hear the gospel is folly.
The requirement is only that they’ve experienced the first/ physical birth!
I agree, Jay & Donn. Thanks for posting this.
