Dominion Theology on CWN???

Psalm 2 was written to the Kings of Israel, not us. It speaks of reigning under Messiah and partly under Solomon. Your interpretation is far from careful or correct exegesis on Psalm 2. The promise there was not made to you or I and "claiming" a promise not made to you is not biblical.
As for your attempt to claim the Genesis "dominion" passage, again your claiming something that is not there in Scripture. We have been told by Messiah that we will face trials and tribulations, be hated by the world because we serve Him among other teachings by Messiah. There is NO dominion mandate for us today and claiming these passages as such mandates is extremely incorrect and contrary to what Jesus taught us from His own lips. Jesus told us to make disciples, not have dominion.
Sister, what you are claiming here is not yours (or mine) to claim and teaching others through writing articles espousing these ideas as "from Scripture" makes them false teachings. Teachers or those who act as though they are teachers are held ersponsible fr their teachings and the effect on those learning. Repentance and correction are needed here.
Hopefully this article was just a way of seeing if CWN readers can see false teaching when it appears here.
Grace and Peace,
Jim

Humans do not create blessings for themselves from their own intellect. The things that we love are borrowed, they are not ours at all. Jesus only lets us use them to brighten our lives. Many have forgotten this fact. Satan tempts us with the things of this world just as he did to Jesus in the wilderness. (Matthew 4:8-9). Jesus was able to say NO. We are not able to do so apart from Jesus. Satan has succeeded in turning Christianity into a religion, and thus has destroyed its effectiveness as a harbinger of absolute right and wrong morality. The true church, the ecclesia or called out ones, enjoy, first and foremost, a personal relationship with Jesus. The simple teachings of Jesus cannot be rationalized away. We cannot expect to get victory over the evil one (or evil forces in the world) with our own intellect or vain imaginations. We cannot expect to gain victory by institutionalizing our Christian creeds and beliefs into political parties or even denominational churches, without first individually putting on the whole armor of God.
