Hello I too was a student of Shepherd's Chapel. I
studied with them for about 12 years. Then I decided to check them
out with my Strong's well I did not have the Strong's all of those
12 years. I have to say I guess I was lazy before and also some
times I just trusted them to be right. I had always before finding
shepards chapel thought there was more to the bible than I was being
taught in church. I had gone to many different denominations trying
to find a church that taught the Bible the way I was reading it.
Once a decided to check out what they were teaching at shepherds
chapel (from now on referred to as SC) as I looked closer I found
that they teach the bible and almost all of the truth but on every
subject I find a little lie. I think that is how the devil works he
tells most of the truth to make it sound right but tells a little 1%
of a lie that changes Gods word. SC teaches for an example it is ok
to divorce stating God is a divorcee and that is true BUT it is
cause of Israel went a whoring. Jesus teaches in Matt.5: 31-32 you
shall not put away your wife for any reason save cause of
fornication. The Murrays teach just repent and you can do as you
please. well that might be well and fine if you could truly repent.
As I read the Bible it tells me that to repent it means you are
truly sorry and the second part of repentance is to not do it again.
So if you divorced for any other reason than your spouse having sex
with someone else you would be committing adultery every time you
went into your new wife and also you would be causing her to commit
adultery. They at SC have allot of half truths and at first they
seem so right. If you really study what they are putting down, You
will find they are a little off from what the Bible says. And then
some times Arnold just goes off the deep end by saying that what he
is reading means something totally different than it does. I keep
saying they because Dennis does not differ in any word for word than
Arnold, WOW what a loyal son well I just wanted to touch base with
you sorry for the bad spelling I have a 7th grade education and was
not there for allot of that . I would like to do a little studying
with you to see where you are as to the Bible. May God bless you and
your family sincerely Name Withheld |

Name Withheld,
Thank you very much for writing. My dad never finished the 9th grade
but he still managed to take care of us and be a good and honest father.
They teach most of the useful stuff by the 6th grade and your spelling
is good enough to read. And it sounds like you can read good enough to
tell when someone is trying to change what you are reading into
something it isn't. I'm glad you are interested in checking out my
studies, I take the work very seriously, I think we ought to be very
careful when we start to tell people what God says, that ought to be
done with a health dose of fear or at least caution. I have a bunch of
free bible studies, I wish I had time to do more right now, I do have
plans for more, but I have a lot irons in the fire: music, bible
studies, writing doctrine, a house full of kids and I have to work to
make a living, so my work goes slow, but I keep at it.
http://oraclesofgod.org/studies/index.htm That is my studies
page if you didn't have it. There are a few small parts of studies I'd
like to do over, because I think I could do a better job explaining, and
God willing I will get to that, but I think you will be blessed if you
listen to them.
If I may be of service to you at any time in
the future, please feel free to write.
Sincerely,
Paul Stringini
