What do you think about Paul Washer?

I think he's amazing.What do you think about Paul Washer?
He says some very profound things that need to be said. America needs to hear and heed his message. God BlessWhat do you think about Paul Washer?
I don't like him.





He says things like your profession of faith is worth absolutely nothing... that's absurd.





The Bible simply says '; if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.'; Romans 10:9





He comes way to close for my tastes to saying that we are saved by works. He twists the truth of the Bible. We are saved by grace not works.





Paul Washer mixes living a holy life with the doctrine of salvation which may sound alright to some but it really can be dangerous. It diminishes the power of the cross and the power of Jesus himself to change our life. Jesus is the only one who can change us. We cannot change ourselves.





Listening to Paul Washer is good way to doubt your salvation. When you will sin (and you will), Paul Washer's words will echo in your mind... ';are you truly saved?';... ';you are a sinner, you don't really have faith';. I believe this is dangerous. Such thoughts come from the devil and we should dismiss them immediately.





When we sin, we don't lose our salvation. We may lose our happiness and communion with God but we cannot ever lose our salvation. When we sin, we should not focus on how we do not have enough faith or how unworthy we are before God. The truth is that God simply wants us to repent and continue to try live a holy life.





Is it Jesus through his sacrifice that erased our sins or is it our repentance? If it is our repentance, what's the purpose of the cross?





Faith in Jesus is our salvation. Repentance and obedience is just proof of our faith!





Putting more emphasis on repentance over faith is the same as putting work before faith! We are diminishing the power of the cross.





People of other religions repent of their sins every day and still aren't saved because they don't know Jesus.





This is an important verse that shows that righteousness comes from God, not from us:





';This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.';


Romans 3:23





In fact, I think Paul Washer should read Romans 3 over again (that's supposing he ever read it)... Maybe he should look if there is boasting in his life because of his ';righteous living';.





';Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith.';


Romans 3:27
Interesting. Sort of the Arminius of Evangelicalism.
I think Paul Washer twisted a lot of scripture.
A powerful preacher with a message from God. Well worth a listen:
