Beware of...

Beware of clever sounding arguments that creep in and sound so good yet are danger at the core.

I've heard many different things from different people over a few years... anything from universalism to unitarianism and one thing I have noticed is that all the arguments are clever and logical sounding at first glance. I like to listen to different ideas and be open minded, but I agree with the Steve Taylor phrase, "Don't be so open minded that your brain leaks out". hehe anyway... Its not like the ideas are just out in midfield, they use scripture, and reasonings to defend their viewpoint, and they sound convincing... Yet when quoting the scripture, beware of phrases like "a deeper meaning" or this is the "deep" meaning. That should be a red flag. Often times it seems to me that this "deep" meaning really is just an "imputation" into the text of something that isn't there - Isegesis first class. Anyway, just a thought I had. :) Take care,
