Sandra Hooper Dividingword.net dividingword.net Controlling,mean, not coachable, works salvation, Internet

I read the report that was submitted about Sandy and could not help but send a reply. I know Sandy. My wife and I have had dinner with Sandy and her husband. I have followed her website and shared many, many e-mails, Facebook posts and writings with her. I know her views regarding scripture and I am in agreement with nearly all of them.  

In my opinion, the individual who submitted this report is very childish, to say the least. I have never witnessed Sandy being unkind to anyone. I have never witnessed her attack anyone. Contrarily, I have seen people who disagreed with her act unkind and say things that were misrepresentative of her views, yet watched Sandy remain humble in her spirit and in her response. 

Is she persuaded of her scriptural views? Most definitely yes, as we all should be if we profess to be biblical students and lovers of truth. In addition, since I have known Sandy, I am aware of several areas of study in which she had advanced in her understanding rather than remain stagnant in tradition and err. The charge that was made against her that she is unteachable is false. Not only is she teachable, she is a good teacher!

Personally, I am thankful for Sandy and for her website. She has dedicated much time to it and she has an outreach that very few Christians have or are willing to put effort into. May God continue to bless Sandy and her ministry as she reaches souls for Christ and spreads the truth across the world wide web!

I too have known Sandra Hooper personally and have not found her to be at all controlling, angry, unteachable or at all rude. I condone her website and all i have read of her teachings. As far as her authority to say what she says, I find scripture gives her that right. There is no male or female IN CHRIST. Jesus COMMANDED Mary to go tell His brethren that He had risen. Who  would dare to deny her authority to say so? Anna spoke IN THE TEMPLE to all who sought redemption in Israel. Was she limited to teaching only women? Consider the prophetesses Deborah [Judges 4], and Huldah [2Kings 22], and who God sent them to. Few are willing to rightly divide the word lie Sandra does. WOE to them who call good evil and evil good [Isa 5:20]

I am outraged at the slanderous, empty accusations leveled against Sandra Hooper.If you re-read the accusing statement, you will not find any substantial or clear reasoning against Sandra. To accuse a person of slander without giving details why such an accustion is made is itself slanderous and empty, worthy of rebuke. The woman who accused Sandra's teaching showed her childishness in this statement while attempting to judge Sandra: "it seemss ironic that in her website address  she uses the word dividing because sandra is good at bringing division. her site is dividingword . net and it has wrong teaching from what I read.". SCRIPTURE speaks WELL of "rightly DIVIDING the word of truth" in this verse, which her accuser appears ignorant of: 2Ti 2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly DIVIDING the word of truth. This is where Sandra derives her website's title, so in mocking it, her accuser is mocking scripture. Besides that, Jesus Himself said "Mat 10:34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Mat 10:35  For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Mat 10:36  And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Mat 10:37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Mat 10:38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me." which blows away the popular opinion that Jesus died to make peace with those who refuse to hear his word and obey it. Many today despise anyone who cries out against compromisers and lukewarm hypocrisy so rampant in the denominations because they love  the praise of men above the praise of God, so they label them as  "not  humble and teachable", not liking correction, bringing division, false teacher, angry, rigid, among other things.  As I continued reading this accuser's statements, she manifested herslf and her husband's unwillingness to identify themselves, while naming Sandra, which I find cowardly.
 
She exposed the root of her grievance when she said this: "We ... believe in the security of the believer and sandra is very uch against that and pushes her viewpoint very hard." This statement reveals that this couple believes the doctrine of the devil; Satan's first lie: "ye shall not surely die [if you choose to disobey God], which would most certainly set their teeth on edge against Sandra and anyone else who disagrees with their twisted gospel. I know Sandra takes a very steadfast, scriptural stand against the "Once Saved Always Saved heresy, and I greatly honor her for it. It often reaps similar persecution as we saw from this unidentified couple, just as Jesus said it would from the many who ...profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.Tit 1:16  " They are those Jesus addressed with this: Luk 16:15  And he said unto them, "Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.", and warned His disciples about:  Joh 5:44  How can ye believe [those] which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Jesus asked those who thought so highly of themseves that they thought they could never be cut off: Luk 6:46  "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" and told them Mat 7:21  "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." but the OSAS crowd reviles those who repeat Christ's conditional salvation by claiming they teach a "works gospel", as if scripture denies anything one does has anything to do with salvation. [read Mat 25's sheep and goats parable to know if it's true that works play no part in salvation]

This heresy is called  "Calvinism", but when traced back to it's root is actually gnosticism, which claimed that all flesh is totally depraved. This toxic doctrine is why so many denominations tolerate willful sin among those who partake of the bread and wine... because Christ's blood is demoted to their LICENCE to live in continual sin, AS IF Christ had to die because He knew it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to stop sinning; AS IF we will all always be slaves to sin.  

So think it not strange that the haters of truth slander those who stand up for it, for they fulfill prophesy: Mat 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Isa 59:15  Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

I know Sandra Hooper not only as a solid Christian, but have had the opportunity to have met her and consider her a friend.  I have witnessed her on the internet in her dialogs with many people, including those who hold to different views and have never seen her become ugly, argumentative or slander anyone.  It is unfortunate that the poster felt the need to disparage Ms. Hooper in this way as they have completely misrepresented her character. 

The poster may have a view contrary to what Ms. Hooper believes and supports, but to hit below the belt by the false accusation of slander is very sad indeed.

We are in days where people believe that they can do despite to the Spirit of Grace and still inherit eternal life.  The scriptures bear witness to Sandra's defense of the gospel and she has provided sufficient biblical teachings on her website to support it.  

Good job Sandra.  Count yourself as one of His Sister, a child of God and contender for the truth.  This character assassination is persecution and proves you are NOT a false prophet  Well done.

#1 This is not a place to air your opinions about a person's doctrine or how you think they  handle doctrinal disagreements on facebook.  This is not a place to assassinate someone's character because you disagree with something she wrote on her own website.

This is a place to warn others about companies that do not have integrity. This so called "rip off report" is an misuse of this website.

#2  I know Sandra Hooper. I have fellowshiped with her both online and in person. From what I've seen she handles disagreements patiently. I have never seen her slander any person. I have not seen a pride issue or an anger issue. 

#3  Sandra Hooper's website is helpful, and everything written there is free. Of course there are people who disagree with some of her writings at times. That goes without saying, and has nothing to do with her character.

#4 This "report" against Sandra Hooper contains many accusations of "slander." In my opinion the report itself is slanderous and childish and should be taken down.

I have dealt with Sandra Hooper for a good while, about a year, and have found NONE of the behaviour described by the original complaint

Sandra and I don't agree 100% on all points of doctrine, but, none of the ones we disagree on are fellowship-breakers and I don't expect we'll ever get to that place because of her spirit.

Her spirit and method of discussing Scriptural matters has been horribly mis-represented here in my humble opinion.  I'm asking the original writer and  subsequent contributers to reconsider their actions.

NOBODY, I repeat, NOBODY has it ALL right so how about a little mercy on one another. This is, of course, unless someone is preaching/teaching another Gospel,which Sandra Hooper is not. In that case we MUST break fellowship. Otherwise, wait before attacking someone, there is a good chance you just might be wrong.....

May The Masters peace be on all.

I was instructed by my husband not to identify who we are. We know Sandra, as angry a person as she is, would slander us if she knew we were doing this

We also believe in the security of the believer and sandra is very uch against that and pushes her viewpoint very hard. it's no the disagreement but the way she goes about not agreeing

We believe Jesus taught that if you are his then you will be kept and no man can pluck us out of his hands
