Nicky Gumbel on Joyce Meyer

About ALPHA USA
Started in London in 1979 as a brush-up course for rusty churchgoers, the Alpha Course has become a worldwide phenomenon and is now held in 163 countries. It is estimated that more than 13 million people worldwide have attended an Alpha Course. The Alpha Course comprises 15 sessions held over 10 weeks and is free and open to everyone. No question is out of bounds, and participants are free to say as much or as little as they wish as they make up their own minds about the teachings of Jesus. Spirited discussions often ensue on topics ranging from "Who is God?" and "Why am I here?" to "Why is there suffering?" and "Is God a delusion?"

I love Nicky Gumbel. I miss Alpha Course on God TV. What a great teacher. Go Nicky!!!!

His stories of his adoption of Christianity are inconsistent. At one point claims he was an atheist but here he states he was believer but didn't feel comfortable living the faith. Gumbel is dishonest just like most Christians.

@afrowearing ...(continued.. again). My point at last is this: "But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this, I rejoice" - Philippians 1:18. So, let's all chill and praise God.

@afrowearing (ran out of characters).. to continue, and who knows, maybe Jesus was tempted by the beautiful babes of Jerusalem too, I'm sure he appreciated beauty when he saw it. It's all flesh, and one of the points of God becoming man was to show us this life isn't impossible as well as give us a WAY and provide the ultimate sacrifice. But at the end of the day, why are condeming this? Praise God because through this ministry, many have been led to Christ! (read next post...)

@christian771984 perhaps its not written scripture that Jesus had evil thoughts. But I do believe that there was that wasn't recorded in the Bible (miracles of Jesus included). And maybe Nicky meant Jesus had evil thoughts in the context of talking about how human Jesus was, and how the devil tempted Him just as we are tempted as well. Anyway, I don't believe evil thoughts that pop into your mind on their own are a sin, I believe the Devil plans them there and dwelling on them makes sin

I think is healthy to focus on the fruit of Alpha. At least they have taken the time to develop material that is useful and friendly for the lay worker in ministry. If there are issues, I don't think they are the first ones or the last ones to have them. At this point in life I haven't heard of a ministry that's perfect and don't have issues. My pastor used to say "If you find it, please don't go there because you could ruin it".

@EmploymentPrograms If you feel like that, why do you remain there? It will be more honorable to leave.

@christian771984 lol. that is all.

nicky Gumbel is a heretic. He's an advocate of a christianity lifestyle rather than repentance & also endorses the horrible toronto blessing. Also I heard him say that Jesus had evil thoughts which isn't scriptural. He also started the alpha curse which has fooled many people into thinking they're saved. Experience over repentance. Even the unsaved can be 'filled' with the holy ghost & speak in tongues etc. A gentle voice & manner doesn't mean holiness. Members of HTB, get out while you can.

a priest who at the start of his career refused to preach at poor parishes ..... hmmmm
