A Real Conglomeration

I’ve been busier than I can even think to describe, which means my collection of links was getting to much to put off posting any longer!  So hold on to your seats as you skim through the linked articles.

More and more, real science agrees with creationism.

Should we look at a teacher’s lifestyle? Or only his/her doctrine?

False Christ of The Chosen, Jesus Calling & The Shack - Pastor Chris Quintana

Homosexuality is the unfailing characteristic of paganism.

Say WHAT?!!?

I can’t warn you often enough to stay away from Jen Hatmaker; and remember she is supported by false teacher Beth Moore.

The ignorance and emotionalism of those following false teachers never ceases to amaze me.

Excellent overall examination of the Bethel Redding cult.

“Pastor” Chris Reed is another New Apostolic Reformation false teacher/prophet. Avoid him like the plague.

Lou Engle— sigh.

More Roman Catholic apostasy.

The ELCA denomination is about as evil and polluted as it gets.

The Church of the Covenant in Boston has proven it is not a Christian church. Of course, since it is aligned with both UCC and PCUSA, it’s a foregone conclusion that any banner they put up would be ungodly.

The dangers of Willow Creek.

This is what The Gospel Coalition has descended to—there is no Christian teaching here.

Agglomeration

Lots of things to expose today so hang in for a wild ride.

Except for the Papist teachings about Mary, this is a pretty good article about refuting the claim that God raped Mary.

A warning about, and exposure of, “glory clouds.”

Another example of the bizarre teaching at Bethel.

Rick Warren is a false teacher and his “church” is led by wolves; and the people in the pews/chairs are goats.

The Southern Baptist Convention has long been spiraling down into apostasy. Look at how many of their churches have used women preachers. Here is Rick Warren justifying this apostasy by twisting the Scripture.

And then there is the SBC’s “Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission” which is playing fast and loose with the Scriptures to support deviant sexuality.

ELCA long ago left orthodoxy; this is how far they’ve fallen.

“Christian” publishers promote apostasy and heresy.  I’ve said this time and time again.

False teacher Lou Engle has jumped on the racist Black Lives Matter bandwagon. 

Lisa Bevere — just another woman like Beth Moore; claims of hearing from God and claims of women should be pastors.

Steven Furtick — this guy is horrid!

Another bad guy to stay away from: Lance Wallnau.

Typical Joel Osteen; enriching himself with books with false gospels. The man is a narcissist. 

Franklin Graham ignores all the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccines and lies about it being analogous to the healing of Jesus.  Like the back-stabbing Jews under Hitler, Graham wants to help the government against Christians.

If you are a fan of “The Chosen” series, please think with more discernment.

Martin Luther is spinning in his grave.

All “prophets” who are using the term “blood moon” or other astronomical events for their prophecies (Cahn, Hagee, Blitz, et al) are FALSE prophets. Do not read them, do not listen to them, do not give them the time of day — they are wolves leading people astray. I fact, anyone who calls themselves a “prophet” is a false prophet, PERIOD!

The false gospel of Rachel Hollis.

Jen Wilkin is about as bad of a teacher as it gets.

Let’s end with a thought-provoking article, A popular phrase from the pit of Hell.

More Wolves and False Teachings

It seems like the devil never ceases to find things to tempt people into believing rather than the simple Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Educate yourself by studying Scripture and being aware of what is going on within the “church” at large so as to be able to discern what to avoid.  So here is my latest “round up” of news I’ve come across in the past couple of weeks.  Forewarned is forearmed.

I’ve written a series and posted articles and links to articles about the fraudulent and anti-Christian nature of psychology.  This article explains even moreso why it is anti-Christian.

This man is NOT a pastor, but he IS a narcissist.  Just another clown entertaining goats.

Nasty fallout over the James MacDonald imbroglio. Pastor John Secrest was in the right to refuse to allow MacDonald to speak, and yet HE gets fired!!!  So much for church discipline. But the latest information says James MacDonald himself has now been fired.  Then there is a big shake up with the Elder Board and Executive committee.

No dead person ever had a “mantle” for another Christian to take on.  Lou Engle is a very, very dangerous wolf; beware of him and the false teaching group Youth With A Mission.

Good resource of examinations of Beth Moore’s teachings.

Avoid teachings by Lisa Bevere as if your spiritual life depends on it — because it does.

Brannon Howse continues to demonstrate how he is more about promoting himself than about promoting truth.  I used to respect this guy but he went “off the rails” sometime back and it looks like he will never be on track again.

How many times do I have to warn people that Hillsong is NOT a Christian organization!?!?  And yet churches still financial support them by using their music.

Christianity Today Astray again attacks the Bible and real creationists.

Southern Baptist Convention continues their spiral into apostasy.

Followers of Todd White have absolutely NO discernment and actually want to be deceived.  White is a fraud and a tool of Satan.

How to delete a Commandment you don’t like.  Yep, the Papists did just that.

Bethel goat-pen, again. People seeking God would never go there.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

Another big collection today!

The Good:

Even if the gifts of prophecy and/or tongues continue…

How ‘LBGT-Affirming’ Is Like KJV-Onlyism.  Really good comparison.  The only problem I found is some things labeled as KJVO church behaviors SHOULD BE the same in ALL churches (e.g. church discipline for fornication and fostering young earth creationism).

Jesus and the Law of Moses: the Woman Caught in Adultery.  One item addressed here is a question I’ve always asked about those charging the woman — if she was caught in the act, where is the guilty man?

The provenance of the Christian faith.

The Thief on the Cross & Purging Purgatory

Is Jesus the Archangel Michael?  A great way to deal with Jehovah’s Witnesses’ false teaching about Jesus.

The Bad:

Lou Engle’s love affair with Rome.

Shame on Michael Brown for promoting false prophet Jonathan Cahn.

Speaking of Cahn, he doesn’t like to be exposed.

Avoid any teaching by Lisa TerKeurst—she’s a false teacher!l

The Ugly:

Shawn Bolz practices that which is forbidden by God, and is of the occult.  However, he is really just pretending — LYING.  The man cannot be a real believer, let alone a pastor.

What Seventh-day Adventism hides from outsiders.

The obscenity of indulgences.

Rome is again offering a plenary indulgence for getting out of purgatory — a non-existent place—for idolatry.  This is a horrid sham which proves again that Roman Catholicism is an unbiblical, man-made organization which blasphemes God on a daily basis.

Steven Furtick.  This is what the modern worldly Church has devolved into.  The people following Goatherd Furtick are definitely not sheep.

The Church by the Glades is NOT a Christian assembly.

The humorous 

— although there is a whole lot of truth here!  A fellow believer said he doesn’t think this is honoring God, but I think that any time we expose false teaching it honors God, and if the satire/sarcasm bothers you, think about how Elijah poked fun at the Baal worshipers! 

I wouldn’t be surprised if THIS is true!

Joel Osteen’s tortured Bible verses.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

At the end of every year I go back over all my old posts to determine their status.  If the information is obsolete, then the article is deleted.  With posts which include links to articles (as in all my “Random…” posts), I check every link to see if they are still good; paragraphs with dead links are deleted.  If too many links are gone, I just delete the entire article; however if some of the links are still good and have what I consider necessary information, I transfer the link to a post in my “Reference Blog.”  You can imagine how much time this takes!  I no longer have any article from 2007, which was my first year blogging, and I have, so far, finished my review up to February 2012. 

Well during this past few days working on the project I got to thinking about why my ministry began and what its focus should be.  As I have previous noted, my first apologetics efforts were trying to reach Mormons with the truth.  Later I began the same thing with Jehovah’s Witnesses.  As time went by I began teaching classes about the cults and how to reach the members of these groups with the truth; in other words I was equipping other Christians with the information they needed to defend their own faith and to plant seeds with cult members.

My ministry has always had three primary functions:  

Proclaiming Truth 

Equipping the Saints

Exposing False Teachings

Over the years my primary focus had been “equipping the saints” who would seek help with understanding cults, help dealing with cult members at their doors, and even general information about understanding Scripture. However, while reviewing my blog I got to thinking that it seems that my primary focus has become exposing false teachings.  While this is important, I think my primary focus should be equipping the saints.  Yes, equipping and exposing both include proclaiming truth, but the better equipped the saints are with the truth, the more readily they can discern the false teachings that come their way.

Part of the reason my thoughts drifted this way is that in so many of my “Random” posts the same teachers and/or groups kept coming up over and over again.  I thought, well we know by now that these are terrible teachers/groups, so anything more is just redundant.

Anyway, I decided to concentrate less on exposing the false teachings of these well-known people and groups, and concentrate more on equipping others with information to counter such false teachings.  Therefore, there will be fewer “RAAH” posts and they will be used to cover important issues or warnings about new false teachers, etc.  I also hope to post more thought-provoking quotes from solid teachers, more examinations of false teachings (such as getting busy on my review of New Age Bible Versions ), and addressing claims from unbelievers against Christians and how to respond, etc. This will most likely mean less frequent postings as more work is required to prepare such articles!  (Random collections of GOOD stuff will continue as much as I find stuff, because these are items for equipping!)

Now, let’s look at the latest collection of links — after all, I already did the work putting them together so I may as well clean out my collection before embarking on the new journey!

The continuing saga of Clayton Jennings.

Teachers of false spiritual warfare include normally sound Tony Evans.

Steven Furtick is a weapon of Satan — contrary to his claims.

Lou Engle, a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation, seems to think he’s the next Billy Graham.

For those who still think the Catholic teaching of “The Immaculate Conception” is about Jesus, Doug Evans has a good lesson for you.

I wonder what the Pope would say about this?  I think such pandering to Islam is atrocious.

Fred Butler continues his review of heretic Hugh Ross’ book, Navigating Genesis.

The poor state of what “Christians” believe; I wonder how many of these are really Catholics? I doubt if any of these people are truly born again.

Scientology is good example of how cults operate.

Hymns in the good old days.

Entertaining the goats at Bethel Redding, et al.
