D. James Kennedy had a major heart attack

[ExtremeDays]

Did everyone hear about this? We should remember him, his family and his church in prayer. Personally I consider him a pillar in the church today. Over the years I've enjoyed his TV show and the radio broadcast, "Truths that Transform".

This is the first I've heard of it. He is one of the few TV preachers that doesn't compromise the word. I pray the Lord gives us more years through him. :prayer:

I join in your prayers for this man of God.

Agreed, may God make provision for one in his place as the years roll foward.

Not a great man at all. Quite the contrary. A great comprimizer of the Word of God. His constant urge to merge with Romanism is one area in particular that is the most appaling about this Televangelist.

He cannot be correctly considered a fundamentalist by any stretch of that term. He is a liberal.

Can I ask, what do you mean "merge with Romanism", can you give some examples of it?

He may be using electronic media as a tool, but James Kennedy being a Televangelist, is stretching it.

Type in the name of a famous "christian leader" here on this fundamentalist website to get a comparison with what the Scriptures teach.

You certainly have opened a can of worms here.I went to the link and did find some things connected to Dr. James Kennedy that I don't fully agree with.

However, many of the things on the page about him were guilt by association type things.Yes, it's true the Bible says not to be unequally yoked, but how far do we take that? How is the word "yoked" defined? Does that mean we cannot ever attend a meeting where there might be someone whose teaching isn't totally together?

If people here were to look at that list, they would probably find some teacher/leader they like.You'd be suprised who's on that "hit" list. This seems to be made by someone who doesn't like anyone. It seems according to that site: if you get involved in politics or social issues you can't be a fundamentalist. If you are charismatic, you can't be (or even if you associate with any). If you believe that decisional regeneration happens you can't be fundamentalist,not even along the lines of Ray Comfort (whom the site doesn't like either).The creator of the site makes the list very small, I wonder who is left to be a fundamentalist?

This isn't to say there aren't false teachers out there.Yet, I still think you and the people who made that site are stretching it. Dr. James Kennedy may have made some iffy decisions about certain meetings, but that doesn't make him a Romanist. The site doesn't quote Dr. James Kennedy falsely teaching on Romanism.
