We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Ungodly Beliefs and Behaviors Catholic Leaders Promote

I’m going to be doing a series on the Roman Catholic Church, essentially pulling from 15-year-old posts because more people need to learn about the RCC.


The RCC claims to be the one true, original church with a leader—their Pope—who pretty much speaks for God. So to start with, I want to give examples of the teachings of RCC leadership, including the Pope, to show how they thumb their collective noses at God.  Now this post just has a small sample of what I’ve collected over the years, and this collection only goes back to 2021. So let’s look at what I’ve discovered.


Dissident priest Fr. James Martin wants you to celebrate LGBT ‘pride month’.  Isn’t pride a sin? And isn’t what they are proud of a abomination to God?


A Catholic teacher was nominated for atheist ‘person of the year’ award for classroom LGBT activism.  Again acting FOR what God calls an abomination.


The new president of John Paul II Institute wants ‘pastoral care’ of homosexuals, including ‘integration’ and reception of the sacraments.  More promotion/celebration of what God calls an abomination.


Remember, the Pope speaks for God! Really?!?!? Pope Calls for ‘Ecological Spirituality’ to care for ‘Mother Earth. The earth is not our mother!! Just what is "ecological spirituality"?


Florida diocese forces schoolkids to wear masks while hosting ball for wealthy maskless donors. Abuse students and kneel to wealth.


Austrian bishop hangs banner of nude trans activist over main altar for Lent. Sounds more like something Satan would do.


Catholic school district in Ontario to fly rainbow flag during LGBT ‘pride month’. Again celebrating what God call an abomination.


Pope Francis denies Christ. Despicable.


Pope Francis is preaching un-Christian clap-trap: he is essentially saying that we are all racists.


Catholic Health Ministry Sponsors Texas Drag Queen Event Which Children Attended. This is abusing children by teaching them sinful and disgusting behavior.


Catholic High School Bursts Into Applause as Drag Queen Takes Stage During Chapel Worship Service. Chapel worship service with a drag queen?!?!


How about a Catholic school that suspended a student for saying men and women are different?!!? Punishing a student for telling the truth?!?


We have a Catholic university denying a formation of a group on campus because the group believes in only two genders — male and female. Denying a group because the believe the truth?


There is a priest in Ireland who allows a Muslim call to prayer during Mass. Islam is the enemy of the Christian faith! Islam massacres Jews and Christians around the world and yet a priest celebrates this blasphemy?!?!?


An archdiocese has a “Pride Mass.” Thumbing their nose at God.


Catholic All-Girls College Will Admit Men Who Identify as Trans Women. So Catholics are denying biology? Isn’t this an affront to God?


Catholic Church Updates Dogma to Include Co-habiting Homosexual Couples as “Conforming to the Faith” So what God calls an abomination conforms to the faith?!?!


There is absolutely no evidence of any “climate” emergency and yet Pope Francis said those who refute the idea are stupid! Remember, he claims to speak for God. (The climate change agenda is for more government control.) And he gets worse than that.


Pope Francis says “All religions are paths to reach God…some are Sikh, Muslim, HIndu, Christians; they are different ways to God.  This is abject heresy. NOWHERE in Scripture will find any but one path to God and that is through Jesus Christ. Acts 4:12 says only ONE WAY to God.


Pope Francis proclaims Special Jubilee for LGBTQ+ Community. Special Jubilee for what God calls an abomination?!?


Cardinal Dolan Hails ‘Our Islamic Brothers and Sisters,’ Calls Ash Wednesday ‘Our Ramadan’ This is just plain heresy. Islam is the enemy of Christianity!!


Notice how these Catholic leaders, including the Pope, are especially celebrating homosexuality, drag queens and “transgenderism”—a complete affront to God!!! The Pope has also bought into the whole lying Communist agenda regarding ecology and climate. 


The Pope is supporting evil and yet claims to speak for God.

The Piper’s Wife


I started this blog in October 2007 with the help of a pastor; I had taught apologetics, including about several cults, in the adult Sunday School so Pastor Joe said I needed a blog.


I had no idea what a blog was so he worked with me to get it set up. Coming up with a name was fun. One of my first posts was exposing Beth Moore because of a lady student in class met with other ladies during the week for “Bible study” and she thought there were problems with what Beth Moore’s video series was teaching.


After about six months or so my wife, Jill, asked if she could write articles for encouraging women in their faith. I thought that would be fine so she wrote a few towards the end of 2008. After a while she and I both decided that her articles really didn’t go along with the focus of my blog, which is apologetics and exposing false teachers/teaching, et al. So I helped her set up her own blog, Encouragements from the Piper’s Wife, in February 2009. She came up with the name of her blog because whenever she goes with me on gigs and people inquire as to who she is, she says that she is “the piper’s wife.” That ends up making her a celebrity!


Now, let me tell you about Jill’s ministry over the years.

When we first began attending a church regularly (after my work schedule allowed me to go to church) Jill began teaching Sunday school for elementary-school kids and after we moved to Iowa she again taught the kids. While in Illinois she also worked as lunch lady and librarian at the elementary school which our kids attended. All the kids have loved her because she is always so loving to them. (And of course she was an excellent mother to our own kids.)


While still in Illinois Jill joined a ladies Bible study group and was recognized as a very caring and loving person. After moving to Iowa she joined a ladies Bible study and when the leader moved out of state Jill took it over and she still leads it weekly. She is well loved by the other ladies and has been active in counseling them in many issues.


Additionally, when we had our street ministry in Iowa City Jill was very good talking with the women and making the Gospel clear, while some ladies were just looking for some counsel about various issues with which women deal.


Jill is the most tender, loving and compassionate lady I’ve ever known, so when she wanted to have a blog encouraging ladies in their walks I knew it would be good. Many ladies, having found her blog and commented, would be given her email so they can continue discussions in private. Some have become long distance “friends” sharing email “letters,” talking on the phone, sharing letters through the mail, etc.


So here is this kind woman trying to be a beacon of encouragement to women and she gets targeted for harassment by the false teaching, LEFTIST heretic Feodore (who claims no Protestant has the truth and that his understanding of Scripture is correct) because he didn’t like being exposed by me as the heretic that he is. Harassing me wasn’t enough because Satan hates his pawns being exposed.


We moderate our comments because we’ve had some bad stuff in the past so his comments come to her email. I have asked Feo many times to stop but he says if a person has a social media site they have to allow for anyone who wants to comment. His comments for her are mostly political (as with his harassment of my blog) and never have anything to do with her articles. 


A real man wouldn’t harass a woman, nor would a real Christian when asked to leave her alone. But Feo is relentless (as I noted on my post, “For Feodore”). Because it was becoming stressful for Jill, I took over moderating comments on her blog—so then Feo decides she is controlled by me (or else she is just another persona of myself!). Sorry, but real men protect their women and there is no reason she should have to put up the unteachable heretic’s nonsense.


It’s a real shame when this woman, who has never had anything to do with this man, has to be relentlessly harassed by him because he hates (yes hates) her husband for exposing him for what he is.


3/22, 1740: Feo just couldn't help himself, especially because he obeys Satan. He hit my wife's blog again today, as well as mine, with a comment full of lies about me. Proving again what a horrible person he is. Then he hit me with a second comment again promoting HIS understanding of Scripture being the correct one.

And another thing, he is about as racist as it gets, going on and on about white supremacy while calling me and others a bunch of racists.

3/25, 1718: At 1622 Feo still can't help himself. He tried commenting on this post claiming all he ever tried to comment was short news items and that they were not harassment, but mostly his comments were lengthy and often trying to correct my theology as well as that of at least three other bloggers (posts to them at the same time), and then again said I am a racist. It is harassment when it's continued over and over and over when asked to stop. He'll never give up, never admit he was wrong to harass.

And Yet Another Agglomeration


Three Key Principles of Biblical Interpretation.


What should be the Christian view of slavery? Why did God condone slavery? Early Christian Views of Slavery.


Biblical Sexuality: What the Church Gets Wrong & What the Bible Actually Says


Are massive “revivals” actually happening at the universities?


Jesse has three good examinations of Roman Catholic teachings: A Critical Evaluation Of Teresa Of Avila’s Nine Levels Of Prayer and When Worship Walks: The Prophets' Critique Of Eucharistic Idolatry and God's Transcendence In Communion: A Symbolic View.


A HUGE problem with Catholic leadership: Cardinal Dolan Hails ‘Our Islamic Brothers and Sisters,’ Calls Ash Wednesday ‘Our Ramadan. Islam is the region of the devil and is evil. Islam seeks to kill all Christians, let alone Jews. They recently beheaded 70 in Congo.

Amazon has a new TV series: House of David. Another unbiblical series, of course. Don’t waste your time. Review of episode 2.


Paula White preaches nothing but lies. AVOID this wolf! And yet our President has her for a “spiritual advisor.”


Daystar + Culty Kathryn Krick = A Dangerous MESS!!  A bit more about Kathryn.


Has the PCA disciplined the Session participants? For Black only event?!?  And what about their missions helping illegals deceive law enforcement? For print coverage, go here.


Atlanta Pastor Calls Blacks Who Support Trump “Coons” and “Runaway Slaves”. The man is NOT a pastor and with his ideology I’m not sure he’s a Christian.


PCUSA is more evil with attitudes towards sex than just promoting homosexuality and transgenderism—at their youth camp boys claiming to be girls can sleep and shower with girls.

Is He the REAL Jesus?


When people say, "I believe in Jesus," look them straight in the eye and ask, "Which one?"

A Special Celebration


Fifty years ago today, and it was a Thursday then also, I ended my enlistment time in the Army. After going for my physical, turning in all my gear that had to be turned in, and packing my 1972 VW with my stuff, I went to the B Company orderly room to sign out. The company Executive Officer, 2LT DeBow, had his wife bake this cake for me (someone else took this photo and sent it to me). Since I took a lot of guys flying while building flight time at the flying club, some began calling me the Red Baron. I said he was dead so, noticing I always wore blue when in civvies, I became the Blue Baron.


This next photo shows me coming into Jill's dormitory room at Ohio State, arriving after an almost 10-hr drive from Ft. Bragg. One of her roommates took the photo.

I was going to take Jill out to lunch to celebrate but we have a piano tuner coming at lunch time so I took her to breakfast at Perkins! (I wore my "Army Veteran" hat and my jacket with my parachutist wings but took them off to sit down, while Jill is wearing a small parachutist wings as befitting the wife of a paratrooper!)

What is Wrong With “The Chosen”? Part 2


What about the New Age connection? While concerns about The Chosen are being revealed on an almost daily basis, it is nevertheless shocking to learn that Rabbi Jason Sobel, one of three Biblical Consultants for The Chosen, claims to have met Christ in heaven through Eastern/New Age meditation.

Lighthouse Trails apologetics ministry has posted THE CHOSEN Series—10 Critical Concerns.

These are serious concerns, some of which I’ve already noted in my previous post.


The abject dishonesty to get more audience of the series should be a BIG red flag.


Another example of something that never happened: “The Chosen”, Nicodemus, and a Common Myth.


Get Used to a Different Jesus—a Jesus Mormons like!  More important information in that regard can be found here.  Don’t let people lie to you and say it “The Chosen” has nothing to do with Mormonism.  Dallas Jenkins supposedly thinks this would be funny. (Click on the photo to enlarge it for reading.)


Mormon doctrine in The Chosen Season 3?  Let’s look a little deeper.


Dallas Jenkins Lies About Mormons And The Chosen Not Being A Ministry


The Chosen: Shocking Confessions. Yes, deep LDS connections as well as Catholic connections, etc, etc.


According to "The Chosen" Peter says God makes mistakes!


I wonder if God wants to portray an “authentic Jesus” by a man who prayed with a dead homosexual?  The man thinks he’s on a mission from God!


How “The Chosen” uses LEFTIST preachers to promote the series. In communion with heretics and false teachers to get people to watch!!


Isn’t the Biblical Account “Good” Enough? Nope, The Chosen needs to add scenes and conversations that never took place. Adding to Scripture is heresy. But, hey, what’s a little additional story to keep the audience engaged?


There Are Some Major Problems with “The Chosen”…YIKES!!!  Did you know that “The Chosen” offers viewers an App so you can pray the Rosary  and to the Roman Catholic saints? Would the real Jesus approve of this heretical teaching?


Well, let’s end this examination with one last video; it’s almost an hour long but should be watched. Should Christians Choose The Chosen?
