Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies
Well, boys and girls, it’s that time again for another collection of foolishness in the Church, as well as all other types of things brought into it by the master of ceremonies - Satan.
But, hey, false teachings abounding somewhere certainly won’t stop Rick Warren from being a guest at one of their conferences! (OH, wait — that’s right, Warren also believes Islam worships the same God as do Christians.) And, of course, you should notice that Mr. porno-vision Mark Driscoll will also be “blessing” them with his attendance.
Elizabeth Prata has a great “one-stop shopping” post for her articles exposing Beth Moore as a false teacher. If that isn’t enough to convince you, take a look at my reviews of some of her teachings:
A bit about “Believing God” DVD series.
More about “Believing God” DVD series.
A review of “Breaking Free”
I have been around many charismatics who are always “binding” Satan. I try to not laugh at their deception, but I do ask them to show me from Scripture where that is found, and if they bind Satan, how come he keeps getting loose? Clint Archer explains why you shouldn’t try to bind Satan.
Mormon Coffee has an interesting article about the so-called golden plates from which Joseph Smith “translated” the Book of Mormon.
When it comes to pagan celebrations advertised as being “Christian,” I think the Wild Goose is as demonic as it gets.
Over the past few years I keep reading about how the Calvary Chapel movement (denomination?) continues imbibing the whole mystical element of worship which is invading the church. It seems to be getting so bad that another church has left them.
Ever wonder about the origin of Roman Catholics praying to Mary? I found the answer this week.
Finally, some more excellent articles from the Christian Research & Apologetics Ministry, some of which were posted on Facebook this week.
What do Christadelphians teach?
What does the International Church of Christ teach?
Is the International Church of Christ a cult? (yes)
The Queen James Bible, the Gay Bible
Re: Hillsong and all the other "conferences" out there - I'm convinced that with rare exception, most of these "conferences" are really just hotbeds of apostasy.
ReplyDeleteEven if there is a "decent" speaker in the lineup (which there is not at Hillsong), that person is always rubbing shoulders with heretics, which makes you wonder about their discernment and how sound their doctrine really is.
Re: Calvary Chapel - sad to see them embracing mysticism. I've never attended a CC, but have heard good reports from several believers. I think apostasy is affecting all denominations at this point, however, some to a greater extent, some to a lesser, but none are exempt at this point.
