The verse from Mark 11:22-25
22"Have[f] faith in God," Jesus answered. 23"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
(from NIV)
The above verse is used by WOF teachers to back up their belief in "name it-claim it".
"Say to this mountain, "Move from here to there", I looked this up in Biblegateway.com and could not find any scriptural source.
In any case, she sounds a bit Word of Faith to me. I am wary of her.
Whenever scripture is used out of context to prove a point. This can be dangerous.
Scripture must always back up the point one is making in context. It is abusing scripture, IMO, to do otherwise.

I've been participating in a Beth Moore bible study in the last few weeks, and there are some things that really sort of bother me. I'm thinking so far that these are stylistic issues, not doctrinal.
For example, her speaking style is overwrought, highly emotional, almost to the point of a televangelist style (IMO). I respond best to teaching that appeals to the brain as well as the emotions.
I just was wondering what other folks had experienced regarding Moore's studies, and what you thought of them. I had gotten the impression prior to participating that she's pretty highly respected.
Sunday our church had a video clip of her teaching.
I think she was wearing leather pants.
For me it seemed to invalidate her as a messenger.
The message was lost.
Maybe she needs a stylist who can let her know some clothing choices are distracting.

About the leather pants.....Beth wore jeans with a jean jacket friday night and she wore blue pants and a bright pink jacket Saturday. It was cute but not too flashy. It doesn't really matter to me.

I just got caught up on this thread.
A lot of talk about a crystal sea.
A friend of mine has been looking for the scripture that says
our sins are cast into the "sea of forgetfulness." To my knowledge
there is no such scripture. Anyone have a clue if there is?
I think it's one of those chimney scriptures.

My wife and I did a few of her studies together, but we stopped using her materials altogether. Even though we enjoyed the way she communicated, we could not tolerate the assumptions and the reaching. In one study she said that God throws our forgiven sins into the crystal sea which is so deep that the sins are forgotten forever (going on memory here, so I might be mistaken about what exactly gets thrown into the sea and why. However, one thing I'm sure of, no where does the Bible say anything about God tossing anything into the crystal sea). This type of exposition made a regular appearance in subsequent studies, so we just quit using them.
that concept could be from this:
Re 4:6
and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.
from Jamieson, Fausset, Brown commentary on Rev 4
Compare Job 37:18, "the sky . . . as a molten looking-glass." Thus, primarily, the pure ether which separates God's throne from John, and from all things before it, may be meant, symbolizing the "purity, calmness, and majesty of God's rule" [ALFORD]. But see the analogue in the temple, the molten sea before the sanctuary in this sea depth and transparency, but not the fluidity and instability of the natural sea (compare Revelation 21:1). It stands solid, calm, and clear, God's judgments are called "a great deep" (Psalms 36:6). In Revelation 15:2 it is a "sea of glass mingled with fire." Thus there is symbolized here the purificatory baptism of water and the Spirit of all who are made "kings and priests unto God." In Revelation 15:2 the baptism with the fire of trial is meant. Through both all the king-priests have to pass in coming to God: His judgments, which overwhelm the ungodly, they stand firmly upon, as on a solid sea of glass; able like Christ to walk on the sea, as though it were solid.
from Micah 7:
7:18
Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession ? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in unchanging love .
7:19
He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea.
7:20
Jeremiah 31
31:34
"They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."

I think the reason so many women love Beth is because she relates to the majority of Christian women today who really are so frazzled with their busy lives and in their walk with the Lord that they have little influence on the culture around them. Beth teaches from the perspective of one who has been, (and at times still is) on the edge, yet because she has chosen to be in the Word for herself, Jesus carries her through. She says that every one of her Bible studies are the end result of those dark and desperate times.
Beth was fun, and a blessing, and definitely the "draw" for women going to the Atlanta Deeper Still conference, but the powerful word of God given through Kay Arthur, was what the conference was all about.
Priscilla Schreier prepped us, challenging us to keep our eyes on the LORD even when we're in the wilderness.
Kay brought the message that God gives through Jeremiah and Isaiah of judgement coming on God's people, for their sin. I have heard that many women were at a complete loss to understand what they were hearing. God bless their poor little hearts, most have never heard, let alone have studied, a message like that.
Beth brought the message that "the Word" Kay had brought to us was indeed THE WORD WHO BECAME FLESH, Jesus. Sin will be judged, the nations will be judged, but if we are in Christ, we can rest in the knowledge that we have a hope and a salvation in Jesus our One and Only.
Blessings

What's a chimney scripture? I've never heard that before!
I don't know of a verse that address a "sea of forgetfulness" but we are told in Jeremiah 31-34 "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." And Micah 7:19 "...you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea." Not just throw - He's going to HURL them into the sea!

Mandisa was on American Idol a few years ago. Before that though, she was part of the worship team that travels around with Beth Moore. I wish you all could have been there when she sang "Shackles". Unbelievable.

I think you put this very well. I have seen Beth speak at a conference too. I have done most of her bible studies, watch her on tv Wed mornings and read some of her books. I can see how someone may not like her particular style but, once you really listen to her you can hear truths of the bible and realize her love is real. I always research what the critics say with each bible study but, have yet to read any dirt on her that will keep me from doing her studies.

Someone on another forum said Beth was from Texas. That answers alot of ?s I have about her. Texans have a whole 'nother set of attitudes & rules.

In the following matters, I don't praise you. Your meetings do more harm than good.
First, here is what people are telling me. When you come together as a church, you take sides. And in some ways I believe it. No doubt you need to take sides in order to show which of you God agrees with! (1 Corinthians 11:17-19 NIRV).
Beth Moore is emphatic and wears leather pants to show that you can LIVE and Love Christ at the same time. You don't need to be a self-righteous, ugly, lonely woman to Love Christ and Live in His name on a daily basis. I am very wary of anyone who judges her as her motives are pure and the Holy Spirit dwells within her. She has an incredible research and resource team who help her deliver Christ centered messages for those who have been in very dark places. If you live on a high and lofty hill, then you probably will have difficulty relating to her.

purplepearl,
I really wasn't trying to avoid anything, just employing a little humor to make an important point. Everyone of us are making some form of judgment about Moore, including you. Some judge her to be, as you say, "pure," others take the opposite position; others land somewhere in the middle.
I am probably more in the middle than anywhere else. Ultimately, all any of us can do is test actions (as we don't really know what is going on in a person's heart). I have encountered some things about Moore's teachings that trouble me, but I also see the good. I made a personal decision not to do her studies anymore because I prefer teachings that stay more grounded in what the word has revealed instead of reading into it things it doesn't actually say.
