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

Did They Really Say That?!?


“You don’t think earth was first, do you? Huh?  Well, you don’t think that God made man in His image, and then made earth in some other image?  There is not anything under this whole sun that’s new.  Ary you hearing what I’m saying?  This is all a copy.  It’s a copy of home. It’s a copy of the Mother Planet.  Where God lives, He made a little one just like His and put us on it.”

Kenneth Copeland, Following the Faith of Abraham I [Kenneth Copeland Ministries, 1989], audiotape Z#01-3001, side 1.  Cited by Hank Hanegraaff in Christianity in Crisis, 21st Century, p.375.

Notice the similarity here to the Mormon doctrine of eternal progression, where their god is an exalted man living on another planet.

I challenge anyone to show me from Scripture where it says God lives on a planet.  Copeland just made this up out of his own imagination.

Unless it is in II Hezakiah 4:12, I have no idea where the concept came from. What a heretic Copeland is.
