Who is David Servant, The Minister?
Hi there,
Should I follow the teachings I found in David Servant's book: The Great Gospel Deception?
I found some guy that really hates this guy, but when I look at David Servant's website, the points that the guy who hates him keeps making seem to obviously be false... So, how do I tell what to do and who to believe.
Is Mr. Servant an honest man I should listen to, or not?
Thank you!

Because in matters of religion, everything is based on faith and belief. If I were to give you my personal opinion about David Servant or his teachings, it would be totally subjective, based on my own religious beliefs and prejudices.
The best way to approach this is to investigate him and his writings for yourself with a completely open mind. There's plenty of material available with a simple Google search. Don't let the guy who hates him poison your curiosity. As you learn of Mr. Servant, you will begin to form your own opinion which is the only one that really counts in religious matters.

Dont be afraid to make a move to study or follow a particular belief for fear of being wrong. As has been said, until we hear it direct from God's mouth, I don't even trust newspapers to not put in their own spin and twist what God said, I believe that anything you check out and practice in good faith that this is the right spiritual path for you, God will not hold against you if it indeed turns out to be not so good or way off base. Thats how we learn...but as soon as something doesn't feel right, stop there and continue searching.
I have found truths in all beliefs and religions but there are also just as many twisted truths or down right lies or terrible misinterpretations, that I have found it better to pull out what I see as the truths I beleive I have found in each one and disregard all the rest. Of course with that attitude, most churches who know what you're doing would not accept you as a member if you didn't convert 100% TO their doctrines and ideals. I stayed too long in churches, believing about 1/3 of what was preached. The rest never made sense and I didn't agree with. When I became an older adult, I finally decided it was time to leave church and follow my own spiritual path, an eclectic one of bits and pieces of beliefs from so many places. This is something entirely for you to decide on.Do not take on and approve for yourself a belief or teaching just because the crowd follows it. That doesnt make it necessarily right for you. Just make it your goal to learn to have a relationship with your creator and treat his children, all those on the planet with you, as you would like yourself to be treated and you will be doing just great.

Anyone who says they have the absolute and total truth about god, the bible and life after death is almost definitely wrong and probably trying to sell you something.
Anyone who calls them a liar is also almost definitely wrong.
Sorry. You just have to decide what you believe, because both David Servant, and his critics, are equally full of nonsense and equally unreliable. One may be nicer than the other, but nice doesn't mean as more correct. Until God decides to write an editorial for the New York Times telling us all just how it is we are supposed to interrupt the mixed up jumble of writings that human being tossed together between 1 to 3 thousand years, that we now call the Bible, no one, and I mean NO ONE, is an absolute authority on biblical truth.
If you are living a life of faith, you just get to make a choice what you are going to believe.
