Evangelist Daniel John Lee

And to the angel of the congregation in Philadelphia write -- These things says He that is holy, He that is true, He that has the Key of David, He that opens, and no man shuts, and shuts, and no man opens.  I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept My Word, and have not denied My Name . . ."

   

The Legacy of Charles Finney


First let it be known that I have a profound respect for Finney's method and message and do not dispute that the Ruach powerfully used him to turn many from the power of the devil to the power of YahShua.

Having said that, what is the legacy of Finney?

If you have visited Oberlin College, you will find something most disturbing. A university founded by Charles Finney himself, less than two centuries later, is overrun by homosexuals, lesbians and all manner of vice and sin.

No doubt Finney himself would decry such a place, but Finney bears ultimate responsbility for his own legacy.

If you have ever studied Finney's systematic theology, you will discover that he adopted the Platonic mindset of removing the carnal commandments of Torah from what he termed the "moral law". This WRONG division of the Word, this devilish cutting, is no different than elsman and webber who are devilish dispensationalists.

Who gives Finney the right to say some laws are "natural" and some are "ceremonial" and others are "civil"? Who gives Finney license to pick and choose which parts of YahShua's Mosaic Torah we will follow?

Finney got his permission not from the Ruach ha Kadosh, but from the vain and idiotic philosphers who had come before him. Perhaps YHVH overlooked this terrible wrong Finney committed insofar that in the 19th century, many other errors were in need of correction which Finney helped to resolve.

But do not be deceieved. Because Finney, ultimately, did not filter out the Platonic paganism from his understanding of the HEBREW scriptures, his legacy is a university overrun by homosexuals.

Anyone who rejects the Torah, the sabbath day, the jots and tittles of Yah's precious commandments, will likewise become overrun with gross sin.

Anyone who does not heed the Torah preaches a false gospel and thus is ACCURSED.
