Spiritual Abuse: What is Spiritual Abuse? 1/7

***This video is 4 Christians only***

Spiritual abuse occurs both within & outside of professing Christianity. This video will be primarily dealing w/spiritual abuse within professing Christianity.

This video isn't only about the pain & harm caused by heresy. It's also about inappropriate & harmful *methods* of ministry taking place at doctrinally orthodox assemblies.

"1 Then Jesus said to the crowds & to his disciples:

2"The teachers of the law & the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat.

3 So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.

4 They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

5 "Everything they do is done for men to see: They make their phylacteries wide & the tassels on their garments long;

6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;

7 they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.'

8 "But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers.

9 And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.

10 Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ.

11 The greatest among you will be your servant.

12 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." (Matt 23:1-12)
