I read some good information about the “Insider Movement.” If your church is into missions, it is important for you to keep a wary eye out for IM invading.
Not to be outdone by the Holy Spirit movie, there is also a movie coming out about the Exodus from Egypt. Yep, another movie to totally misrepresent the Bible.
And while we are looking at movies/books, how about another review of “Heaven is For Real”?
For those who study Mormonism, The Book of Abraham should be familiar to you. For those who don’t study Mormonism, it will be new to you. The BOA was supposedly translated by Joseph Smith from an Egyptian funeral document that came into his hands. Of course the man couldn’t read Egyptian, but no one questioned him because he said his “gift” of translation was from God. Since the original parchment was found back in 1966, the Mormons have come up with lots of excuses as to why the document doesn’t read as Smith claimed. They’ve recently came up with another defense of the document - a defense that doesn’t hold water. Mormon Coffee addresses the issue.
As you’ve probably noticed, if you look at my blog often enough, that I’m slowly working my way through reviewing Gail Riplinger’s “New Age Bible Versions,” and demolishing her claims. I was pointed to another site last week, and this site also has some examinations of Riplinger’s claims, providing more proof of Riplinger being a false teacher, although his arguments are primarily in defense of the NKJV while exposing the KJVO nonsense.
Erin tells us about a woman who let Jesus take the wheel of her car - in her imagination, anyway.
Lastly, an article at Sola Sisters address problems with the book, “Healing Oils of the Bible.” There sure are some wacky authors out there!
Thanks for all this helpful & needed research. I am definitely learning a lot in a time when we have to be on our toes all the time.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Erin article on the woman at the wheel was true, not imagined.
ReplyDeleteGreat links, appreciate your doing due diligence. Glean much good information as I read, ponder and pray.
Ali, the woman driver was imagining it, not Erin.

Stephen,
ReplyDeleteI think you misunderstood Ali. I took her to mean that the article, provided by Erin, was true and not imagined. I took Ali to mean that it was sad that the story was true rather than imagined.
Hi Glenn,
ReplyDeleteSola Sisters also did an excellent follow up on essential oils:

The new age infiltration of the church has been going on for years. I can't tell you how many times I have told other believers that yoga and the like should have ZERO place in a Christian's life. Sadly believers can get so defensive about their new age involvements.
An interesting observation - often the advocates of the new age "healing" techniques and "natural cures" are staunch opponents of western medicine and doctors. People under the sway of new age always seem to think that western medicine and "big pharma" are loaded with sinful, greedy people who are hiding the "real cures" from humanity, and who are out to harm them with their "synthetic" drugs, but somehow believe the new age practitioners are "sweet, caring, and honest" and only want the best for them. It's such a strange dichotomy. What? There aren't greedy, sinful new age practitioners, who sell snake oil touted as "natural cures", in order to make money?
The information that keeps coming out regarding MD is disturbing.
Regarding the KJVO movement, what I can't figure out is this: why are the KJVO advocates such adamant followers of a book written by a *woman*?

Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw the update on Sola Sisters, and it will be included in my next "Random" post.
Your last line gave me a laugh - GOOD POINT!
