After a long hiatus, I’m back to address comments left on this blog, many of which criticized my judgment of other Christian teachers. Some argue that judging others is inappropriate, but Scripture provides clear guidance on this matter. In 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 (ESV), Paul writes:
“For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. ‘Purge the evil person from among you.’”
This passage instructs believers to evaluate the teachings of those within the church who claim to follow Christ. Shepherd’s Chapel, led by the late Arnold Murray and now by his son Dennis Murray, claims to be a Christian ministry. Therefore, it is not only appropriate but biblically mandated to examine their teachings and warn others about errors or heresies.
Jesus and the apostles frequently confronted false teachings, often naming specific individuals or groups (e.g., Matthew 23, Galatians 2:11-14). Identifying false teachers by name ensures clarity in warning others, a practice rooted in Scripture. I stand unapologetically by this approach.
