What is Refute It Ministries?
The simple answer is that we are believers that desire the sincere purity of scripture. We serve, worship, and follow the creator the way he desires us to worship and follow him as the Bible and Holy Spirit guides us.
The Bible says Christ gave us certain ministers and ministries for our benefit: "And he (Yeshua) gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive." Ephesians 4:11-14 KJV
So, Christ does send good ministers and ministries into the church to teach us and help us grow. We are not meant to walk in faith alone or to be isolated from other believers. However, we must be on guard, because there has always been and continue to be men and women in the world that have taken it upon themselves to speak and teach about things that Christ and the Bible do not affirm. So, we feel it's time to REFUTE all the false doctrines, errors, delusions, and heresies that have been planted in the church. That's why we created the REFUTE IT website.
Every doctrine we study is measured by the Bible (The word of God). We look at both sides of an argument to determine who is speaking the truth and who is speaking error. We dig deep, we study every verse, word use, and context of a message. We judge a doctrine to see if it fits the character and nature of God as revealed by the scriptures. We use common sense and proper methods of biblical interpretation. We consider history, archaeology, prophetic text, and miracles in the Bible to uncover truth. We discern the difference between literal text and allegorical text. Most of all we pray and ask for God's guidance.
We really don't care how long a doctrine has been taught. It can be a newly invented teaching or one that has been taught for centuries. If a teaching/doctrine is wrong, then it's wrong and should be labeled a false teaching. We're not obligated to follow denominational teachings because we're an independent ministry. We follow what the Bible affirms to be true and will uphold and defend that truth.
