Ministering During The Pandemic: Encourage The Persecuted

By -

Hey everyone. This is the first post in a (planned) series about how you can minister in the midst of a pandemic. As we all know by now, people are suffering all around the world. This includes our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. Many of these believers were already undergoing persecution, and the pandemic has just made things more difficult. Fortunately, there is a way that you and I can help these believers, even if it is something that seems small. Open Doors USA can help us provide notes of encouragement to persecuted believers around the world. Paul wrote that when one member of the body suffers, we all suffer (1 Corinthians 12:26), and the author of Hebrews tells us to let brotherly love continue (Hebrews 13:1). You can look here to find a list of our persecuted brethren who need a word of encouragement. If you can spare a few minutes, write them a letter. It may seem like something small, but to them, it may be something big.

Eventually, Wurmbrand was ransomed out and came to the United States. Since Wurmbrand founded the organization, it has worked tirelessly to keep Christians in the Western world informed about the persecution that our brothers and sisters around the world are going through, as well as providing

  (Due to the length of this post, I have made it available via PDF for those who would prefer to read it in multiple sittings. The PDF can be found here .) Introduction In the previous post, we examined the three arguments that are often used by KJV-Only advocates to provide an affirmative answer to the question, " Does Psalm 12:6-7 support the view that God has divinely preserved Scripture in such a way as to create a perfect and flawless English translation in the King James Version?" As we examined each of these arguments, we found that they each have major weaknesses and, as a result, come up short. In this post, we are going to examine some arguments for what we have labeled the "contrary" position. That is, we are going to examine some arguments that have been put forward for the position that Psalm 12:6-7 does not provide support for the KJV-Only doctrine of preservation outlined above and in the previous post. Specifically, the contents of this post are an
