Dear Robin

You said “How can you teach someone the written Word of God if you yourself have not a clue what is written in His Word neither have a clue what it is all about.”

Actually many false ‘teachers’ teach a version of the gospel that is incorrect and millions follow them and their false gospel.

Dear Jaco Venter

I don’t need to meet a person and have coffee with them and hug them and pat them on the shoulder to know that what they believe and speak is false. The words that come out of his mouth that goes against the gospel of Jesus Christ and the people he aligns himself labels him a false teacher. (Read all articles on Angus Buchan please)

Now, that is absolute crap. You cannot know the Author of the Bible if you do not know your Bible. You can only know the Author of the Bible through his written Word. Therefore it is absolutely essential to have a good knowledge of the Bible as well as theological training. The apostles were not illiterate persons as some would claim, they were carefully selected persons by Messiah and well trained in His Word by Himself. There is a critical difference between apostle and disciple, disciple is a follower whilst an apostle is both follower and teacher. How can you teach someone the written Word of God if you yourself have not a clue what is written in His Word neither have a clue what it is all about.

Hegemonic masculinity
In gender studies, hegemonic masculinity refers to the belief in the existence of a culturally normative ideal of male behavior. Hegemonic masculinity posits that society strongly encourages men to embody this kind of masculinity. Hegemonic masculinity is said to be marked by a tendency for the male to dominate other males and subordinate females.

So in actual fact Miranda has brought a sociological and political theory to this blog which is a Christian blog? Her problem with Angus Buchan is that both her viewpoint and that of Angus have one thing in common – both are worldly and have nothing to do with true Christianity and as such are both not Christ centered.

2 Peter 2:1-3 (KJV)

2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

It is thus clear that the above scripture states that false teachers bring upon themselves swift destruction and their damnation slumbers not. Harsh words – yes, and rightly so.

It is fruitful to do a word study on a simple word like “pernicious”

Adjective: pernicious

having a harmful effect, especially in a gradual or subtle way.

Miranda, It seems that you are fighting for “women’s rights” or “gender equality”. I would suggest that you rather address the fact that Angus Buchan is a false preacher that does not preach the gospel of Christ. When a lying false teacher is on stage to increase his popularity and thereby increase his monetary gain he preaches another gospel, which is no gospel at all. I am surprised at people like Prof. Johan Malan that states that “it is obvious that Angus Buchan has a relationship with Jesus/God” when he is a compulsive liar. Not one of his miracles that he has written about and given on stage are true. He fabricates these out of his imagination to impress gullible people – and it seems to be working for him, but not for the deceived that are led down the wrong path to a wide gate.

Matthew 7:13-1 (NIV)
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Rather contend for the faith if you are a genuine saved, holy spirit filled child of God.

Angus Buchan visited Ireland and UK in June this year and he has no Christ centered message. He is a “motivational speaker” with no clear foundation and manipulates his audiences by using well known bible verses that he spews out with no line of logical argument interspersed with lies and his amplified AMEN chant. He does not even begin to understand the biblical relationship between a man and his wife and does not try to explain it to his audiences.

Trying to imply that the gospel needs to speak to the political situation in SA is to preach yet another new gospel?

Jill Buchan should rahther pray that Angus would truly repent of his sin that he is perpetrating on gullible South Africans (and even on Jill herself). I find it hard to believe that so many men (and women) in SA have bought the lies of a con artist who says: “You should have a testimony as no one can challenge you as THEY WERE NOT THERE”.

lockquote>Plucking verses out of their literary and socio-religio-political contexts certainly is not a responsible way to read Scripture and jumping from one text in a letter to the Romans to a verse from the Gospel of Matthew to a lament of Job only serves to read into Scripture what we want to.

The Gospel of God is a universally eternal Gospel and is not limited to any certain socio-religio-political context. Jumping from one text in Romans to Matthew to Job can be helpful. Why?

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man [and woman] of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Ti 3:16-17)

>> The thing with Angus Buchan is that he has no theological training or qualifications whatsoever.

true, but neither am I

>> I’ve seen him described as a simple farmer with a simple faith. To my mind, he is not fit to be a preacher just as an unqualified “doctor” isn’t fit to practice medicine.

What makes one fit to be a CHRISTIAN is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit 🙂 There are millions out there with the qualification who are just as deluded as Angus. Without the Holy Spirit, you are nothing.

>> And I think he’s not part of a church so isn’t accountable to anyone.

Well the Church as is stands is a disaster as we are in the great apostasy. In this day and age being accountable could just as well mean you are accountable to someone more deceived than you.

The comment by Anastsia on Angus Buchan being ” Unqualified ” to preach.
I suggest you revisit your thinking. Always substantiate a comment with spiritual understanding, as the ” intellectual buzzer “would make the comment you made. Unfortunately, intellectualism and God have no common line. The Disciples, 12 of them, mind you, were hardly of the school you seem to be referring to. It may be useful to read Job 37 – 38, the dialogue between God and Job. I somehow found a similarity on your judgement call. To have made the comment you did, I can assume you attended the college of
God Himself. I would be interested to hear how you came to the conclusions you did! On the other hand, would it be worthwhile, I need to ask myself

Oh goodness, it would appear they have changed their site and removed all their content. I have emailed them asking them for a copy of the mp3. Let’s hope we get something.
