Is Mary the Mother of the Church and Our Mediatrix?  Short answer: ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Why The Trinity WASN'T Invented By Early Christians

Reaching “younger” generations does NOT need new methods.

Our Daily Bread: We’ve donated to them before, but no more.

The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, used to be a fundamental denomination but they have been going “woke” off and on over the years. NOW they are violating Romans 13 by helping those who are in the USA illegally!!!

It seems many other “Christians” disagree with Romans 13. Even the Southern Baptists disagree with Romans 13.

Rick Warren demonstrates again that he is a false teacher. Another commentary on the situation. He later issued an "apology."

Lifeway Christian Resources has really gone downhill, especially with the many false teachers they promote.

Many false teachers are connected to one captain of false teachers—Mike Bickle.

Another fake pastor woman falsely teacher, Deven Wallace, defending illegal immigration by twisting Scripture.

Despite Failure After Failure, Bethel’s Bill Johnson Continues to Sell Faux Healing.

T.D. Jakes is a horrid false teacher and this is just another example of his heresy.

Paula White exposed by Justin Peters

One of the readers of my blog called my attention to another woman teacher who needs to be avoided like the plague: Kristi McLelland.

Well, that’s enough for now. Let all your friends know about these false teachers as well as the good information at the beginning.

Agglomeration Time!

Review: The Netflix Mary Movie Is Catholic Cringe. I don’t get Netflix, but I wouldn’t watch this movie if I did because I KNOW it wouldn’t be accurate and would take liberties with the truth. Don’t waste your time with it.  Here’s another review on Youtube; “Mary’s” hairdo is ridiculous.

Pope Francis continues to prove how apostate he is.  Look how the Vatican is featuring the baby Jesus!!!

Meanwhile, “Catholics” use Mary to promote abortion.

Research: Christian Cults.

Are There Any Modern Apostles? Short answer, NO!

Mike Bickle--Heretic to Avoid

Random Things Needing Discernment

An examination of the cult of Freemasonry. Yes, it is an un-Christian/anti-Christian cult.

Here is a good discernment lesson about how to look at a contemporary “Christian” song.

The apostate Fuller Seminary is NOT “evangelical.”  Christ would have nothing to do with so-called Christians who want unity with Muslims — a PAGAN religion.  What did Paul say about such in 2 Cor. 6:14? (H/T to Doug Evans.)

“King” Eddie Long, a Word of Faith heretic, now knows the truth.

Things like this are why I have to ask if there are any real Christians in the Episcopal Church, and if so, why are you still there?

Jennifer LeClaire is a dangerous teacher! Of course, 99% of what Charisma magazine publishes is either aberrant or heretical, so what can we expect?

For those who really have no idea about what the New Apostolic Reformation is about, this article is a good introduction to them.  Horribly dangerous ideology, with lots of aberrant and heretical theological backing.  That one is followed by another testimony.

What you need to know about the charismatic movement (a root of the NAR) and why you need extreme discernment to avoid the false teachings from these people.

Stop telling me to fall in love with Jesus.  This is a terribly unbiblical idea. (I don’t recommend Patheos to immature and/or non-discerning Christians because they often have liberal teachings. And sometimes poor hermeneutics, such as in this article where they say the Song of Solomon is about Christ and the Church — a lie that was started by early church “fathers” who didn’t like the sexuality in it, which of course makes it even more bizarre by having an erotic relationship between Jesus and the Church!)

Remember Heidi Baker who is often with Bethel Redding?  Well her husband, Rolland, is as heretical and demonic as is she!

All you need to know about false prophet Mike Bickle and his IHOP cult all in one place.

Updated information about “The Shack.”  Needed information to counter praises for the movie version.

The Resurrection of Gavin Stone.  Don’t waste your time with this “Christian” movie, and warn your friends against it.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

“Christian Publishing Full Of Rotten Fruit.”  Just now figuring that out?!?  I’ve been saying, for at least 30 years, that Christian book stores are minefields of false teachings.

This hour-long examination of “The Prayer of Jabez” book really hits the nail on the head!

Praying with our bodies?!?!? Where is this in Scripture?  This is total pagan nonsense.  Just more foolishness from the Methodist Church.

The New Apostolic Reformation — You will know them by their nuts.  H/T Marsha West

The Church of Scotland slips into apostasy.

The Daniel Prayer!?!  Another inane idea, this time from Anne Graham Lotz.

Mike Bickle has absolutely no clue about what the Bible says.

False teaching founder of KJV Onlyism has died.  Ruckman was about as whacked-out as they come.

Todd Bentley — Angelic encounter, or demonic encounter?  Definitely demonic (and there is nothing true about his stories!) And yet Bill Johnson has blessed him!  H/T Mary Dalke

Lighthouse Trails Research has a new tract booklet about the Alpha Course.

List of links about false teacher Jen Hatmaker.

Vineyard has long been aberrant in their teachings, but now they’ve crossed the line into heresy.

Why pastors should say “NO MORE!” to Beth Moore.

Glory of Zion goat pen — why do people get involved with such nonsense?!?!?

“Heavenly Tourism” is all fake.

The Clear Word Bible is a false Bible with added text supporting the cult of Seventh-day Adventism.

Kenneth Hagin is pretty much known as the father of the Word of Faith heresy.  The video in this article says “demonic activity” to me.

Finally, you vision-casting pastors need to be careful!

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

For those in Alabama, watch out for the Church of the Highlands.

For those unfamiliar with, or trying to figure out, the Baha’i faith, Watchman Fellowship has a good profile on them.  It’s a cult of Islam.

Beth Moore.  Need I say more?

This is what happens when Christians leave common sense and accept media hype on a bogus issue.  How about we concentrate on spreading the Gospel instead of getting wrapped up in worrying about political talking points!

We are in luck — Rome is giving a course on exorcism.  Hmm, why is it the Apostles didn’t need a course?  Sort of like charismatic courses in speaking in tongues.  H/T Doug.

Notre Dame needs to be severely censured by the Catholic Church, and the leadership excommunicated. Celebrating child murder and sexual perversion is certainly against Catholic teachings. H/T to Doug again.

An up-and-coming false teacher to be aware of — Margaret Feinberg.

Some concerns about John Maxwell.

Azusa - One world religion.  In this regard the highlighted man is Lou Engle, who is not worthy as a Christian leader; he is a traitor to Christianity.  The more I read about Azusa this week, the worse it gets.

In addition to news about Azusa, this article has information about a “Being Church” conference.  The only “church” in that conference is the church of Satan.

The original Azusa meetings came out of “The Holiness Movement.”

Excellent article by Elizabeth Prata denouncing the whole “Jesus is my boyfriend” nonsense.

A good history of Mike Bickle, which proves IHOP is a cult — it started the same way as the LDS, SDA, Christian Science, and the Moonies.

Todd Bentley — again, need I say more?

C.S.Lewis was one of the first apologists I read, and I like his thinking on a lot of apologetic issues; he actually has good teaching on Christian living and worldview.  As I matured in the faith I discovered that Lewis was not for the immature believer; after all, he promoted psychology and evolution, and had some real theological issues.  I still cite things from him now and then because in isolation from his bad theology they can sometimes be excellent thought-provokers, as with the one sentence I posted on 23 April (one commenter even questioned me about Lewis).  I came across an excellent article which sums up Lewis’ theological problems, which is why you will never see me cite him for theology!  I do wish the article addressed his evolutionism and promotion of psychobabble.

The Sin of Secondary Separation

The Babylon Bee has a good satire about the whole idea of so many claims to have been to heaven.

We’ll end with another good one from The Babylon Bee.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

Fasten your seat belts, ladies and gents — this is going to be a wild ride!

Southern Baptist Convention President Ronnie Floyd, was a featured speaker at the NAR IHOP conference.  Mr. Floyd has done nothing but give credence and tacit approval to false prophets and false teachers, and he should be rebuked for such actions — but the SBC remains silent.

Seems lots of Episcopalians have a love affair with Islam.

More on InterVarsity Fellowship and “Black Lives Matter.”

Mary Dalke has been working on adding more to her post on discernment.  She has some good information and videos about various heretical church leaders — leaders undiscerning people listen to with baited breath while following them like any other cult leader.  The “fun” part is that these heretics are nothing but a mutual admiration society.

Bill Hybels is more of a motivational speaker (sort of like Joel Osteen) than he is a pastor.

Um, no — we are NOT “all God’s children.”  HT to Marsha West.

The main German Church has gone completely apostate rebelling against God and sanctioning homosexuality.

Someone sent me this video, thinking it was really good.  That person was totally lacking in discernment, since the video is heretical.  First, it presumes to speak for God.  Secondly, right off the bat it teaches a God who is not omniscient - he is surprised by what humans do!  Then we have him walking hand in hand with God; um, how can he do that since God is spirit and no one can see him? The whole thing is feel-good cliches — nothing but a secular motivational video.  Oh, and we don’t “forgive ourselves.”  That is nothing but psychobabble.

“Pleading the Blood of Christ” is unbiblical nonsense.  I have in the past had comments on posts where the person either says they are “pleading the blood of Jesus” or that I should do so, and too many e-mails making the same claims.  Whoever first came up with that idea should have been horse-whipped!

Ellen G. White and the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventists.  Without her teachings, they couldn’t exist, but she is a false teacher and false prophet, which makes the SDA a cult.

One more thing to add to Mike Bickle’s false teaching line-up.

I’ve read things here and there about Sid Roth, but nothing really explicit.  This post is a great exposure of this false teacher.  This guy is just as scary as any false teacher in the charismanic cult.  Those he “interviews” are all brainwashed into these lies and are part of the problem in that they also teach the lies.  They don’t hear God - they hear Satan.

My Little Pony Bible Study?!?

Stay away from false teaching narcissist Todd White.  How do guys like this get enough money to get their own follows claiming to be a church?

I’ve posted information in past “RAAH” articles about Liberty University’s bringing in Glenn Beck as a speaker without speaking about the fact that Mormonism isn’t Christian, their fining of students who didn’t want to listen to Beck, and their claim that they have no official position about Mormonism.  Well, their inviting Donald Trump to speak and treating him as a Christian is just as bad.  But what can you expect from a place which has also invited speakers such as “Rev.” Moon and Benny Hinn!  There appears to be no discernment with the leadership of Liberty.

I recommend Mary Dalke’s latest “Warning You With Tears Wednesday,” with a huge collection of videos examining all sorts of heresy and aberrations in the Church.  Some of the things she reports on have also been reported by me either in this post or past posts, but that just shows we follow some of the same sites!

Steve Bricker has an excellent, thought-provoking article about worship.

“Speaking” about worship, why do we even need a “National Worship Leader Conference”?!?  Seriously!  Can’t the people who lead the “worship” (i.e. songs) just use their own intellect about what songs to choose and how to arrange things?  Why is it the Church never used to have such a position as “worship leader”?  At any rate, this article makes one really good point: the idea promoted by “worship leaders” and conferences like this is “performancism” — “The worship leader as the performer.  The congregation as the audience.  The sanctuary as the concert hall.”  Then he makes an outstanding suggestion:  “Sing songs people know (or can learn easily). Sing them in congregational keys. Sing and celebrate the power, glory, and salvation of God. Serve your congregation. Saturate them with the word of God. Get your face off the big screen .… Use your original songs in extreme moderation.… Err on the side of including as many people as possible in what’s going on. Keep the lights up. Stop talking so much. Don’t let loops/lights/visuals become your outlet for creativity at the expense of the centrality of the gospel. Point to Jesus. Don’t draw attention to yourself. Don’t sing songs with bad lyrics or weak theology. Tailor your worship leading, and the songs you pick, to include the largest cross-section of your congregation that you can. Lead pastorally.”

A friend who sent me the link to the above article gave me this testimony about his assembly:  “This was very evident last week - I pointed it out to lots of folks.  [The worship leader] and gang sang a song for the congregation.  In the middle he pauses and quotes from [O.T.] and then finishes the song.  I wrote down the artist and title.  I went home and looked it up - listened to a "professional" recording of the artist's cut.  Sure enough, [the worship leader] COPIED it verbatim....pause, citing of [O.T.] text, finish song.  This is what I call a copycat performance.  Its not worship.  He's just copying what's on the top 40 cause its popular.  Its so obvious people are blinded to it.”

I can’t add to this!
