One should seek God's guidance when studying His word. He gives wisdom
freely. A major problem is that many "additional references," or
"helps," are actually misleading and downright wrong.

The problem is, of course, that is NOT what Christ said at all. What He really
said was:

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mat 5:3 RSVA)

Not the same at all. 'Blessed' is NOT the same as 'happy'. Nor is "poor in
spirit" the same as 'simple-hearted'.

Now what do you think it _really_ says about this "Brother Roger" that he
perverted the sense of Scripture so recklessly? Do you think that perhaps THIS
was why he was so popular?
