The Heresy of the Enneagram

The announced intention of this [Enneagram] psychological approach is to help Christians in personality development, Christian maturity, and spirituality. …

The teaching of the Enneagram is so far removed from the teaching of Scripture, that it becomes problematic to understand why Evangelical publishing houses would even print these New Age books, unless they are just publishing what sells and not what follows Scripture and moves the Christian and moves the Christian to be spiritually mature. Every major Christian doctrine regarding God, Jesus, salvation, and sanctification, et al, is denied, distorted, or assaulted by this Occult religious teaching that attempts to robe itself in Christian dress.

Agglomeration

This will be my last “Agglomeration” (or “Good, Bad and Ugly”) for at least quite a while, but maybe even forever.  I will instead maybe post whole articles from the places I now link to. I’m trying to cut down my time on the computer and have dropped many of the sites I have been following for a long time from which I’ve gotten a lot of my news.

That being said, I will still always be available for responding to questions or requests for help in regards to false teachers and teachings.

With that said, here we go with today’s installment!

The Good - For Education and/or Edification

Errors in Understanding Biblical Texts.

Grounds for Divorce: Why I Now Believe There Are More Than Two. I’ve always said that adultery (any form including porn habits), abandonment, and abuse are valid reasons for divorce. The abuse can take many forms, as the article notes.

Why Supporting Black Lives Matter Is Anti-Christian And Anti-Life

The Enneagram Part 2. Part 1 was linked to on May 12th.

This one is for education: the pagans are really bizarre.

HMMMM

Interesting quotation from the book True Stories of the Amish, as told to O.A. Garrett:

The Amish culture does not encourage physical affection amongst its members. This added to the distant feelings Dan had towards his father. Never did he see his parents kiss each other or anyone else, nor did any family member express verbally any feelings of love. The only emotions the Amish show in public are sadness and misery because the Amish believe that the more sadness and misery one has on earth, the more happiness one will have in heaven.(pg.13)

Chick-fil-A’s  CEO Dan Cathy has twisted Christianity to submit to the racist Black Lives Matter agenda as he says Christians should repent of sins we never committed and even shine the shoes of blacks to show our “shame” for racism. Here’s a wee bit more on the topic.  Chick-fil-A has been making donations to LEFTIST organizations and now this. I will never again eat at Chick-fil-A.  When you profess that your organization is Christian and stands for Christian values and yet donate to LEFTIST causes and succumb BLM racism against “whites” then you are “false advertising.”

More Wolves and False Teachings

Jen Hatmaker — she should be a hat maker instead of playing at being a Christian.

What is with Roman Catholics — aren’t they supposed to represent Christ!?!?

And the Pope wants Catholics to be supportive of Black Live Matter, which is a socialist, racist, anarchist movement. The papacy has always been filled with men who want to take over the world for socialism.  And bishops are funding radical groups!!!

Louie Giglio shows again why he is not qualified to be a pastor.

Some good information exposing false teacher Michael Brown.

Another perfect example as to why Carl Lentz is unqualified to be a pastor.

Joel Osteen marches with Black Lives Matter and Antifa thugs. Totally unqualified for any Christian leadership. He panders to the false narrative.

Oh the irony of an arrogant, narcissistic Beth Moore, a Scripture twisting false teacher. Just what was she thinking here?

Bethel continues to prove that they are not Christian as they pander to race-bating Black Lives Matter. Prayers in “tongues” are narcissistic prayers to self. The whole fake spirituality of charismania was on show.

Agglomeration

The Good - For Education and/or Edification

Admonishing with tears — the job of apologists. And it SHOULD be the job of pastors and elders.

Education and safeguarding our children.

Formerly known as male and female.  Thought-provoking article.

Dear Christian: STOP IT!

Good review of Rick Warren’s “The Purpose Driven Life.” One of my problems not noted here is his hard-line Calvinist predetermines. Warren said that God created everyone specifically (rather than allowing undirected procreation) so that every thing about you was predetermined, e.g. eye color, vision, hearing, deformations, etc. This would be a horrible God.

Clint has another review; this time it is of Jerry Falwell’s Building Dynamic Faith.

About that Word-Faith/Charismatic Religion.

Christians and slavery: Many got it wrong and embraced it.

HMMMM

Does Calvinism’s “Perseverance” Really Offer Eternal Security? The Answer: No!

More Wolves and False Teachings

Here’s a group I haven’t mentioned for a while: World Race.  Very cultic with false teachings.

I’ve never heard of Doreen Virtue, but I sure learned a lot about this false teacher at Mary Dalke’s blog.  Very “New Age.”

Beth Moore — Again!  She’s a flaming hypocrite.

Beth Moore, Joyce Meyer, and Gnosticism.

Catholics and their absurd superstitions. There is no such thing as “holy water” to begin with!

This could very well be true!

For all its claims, Zondervan is no longer (and hasn’t been for a long time) a “Christian-based” publisher, as evidenced by their latest Enneagram movie.

Lou Giglio has been on my “RADAR” for a long time, but looking back through my articles I see most of the links I had to articles about him were on a site since taken down—which is actually the old side of Clint Adams. To help you see that Giglio is a false teacher, Clint Adams has an excellent review of one of Giglio’s books.

This is what apostasy looks like. Muslims are taught to eradicate Christians, Jews, and anyone not accepting the Muslim faith.

Agglomeration

The Good - For Education and/or Edification

Why is sex so complicated? Good discussion of love vs sex.

Why modern-day prophets never saw this pandemic coming. Simple answer: because they are false prophets! Good analysis of all that is wrong with the prophetic movement, including how false teacher Michael Brown supports them.

The Enneagram — Part 1

The Charismatic Mishandling Of Mark 16:9-20

How Early Are the Biblical Accounts of Jesus?

More Wolves and False Teachings

More heresy from Rome — the Pope wants to unite with other religions in prayer!

An excellent book review of Experiencing God. It is a dangerous book.

Benny Hinn — it’s God’s fault that pastors fornicate.Hi

Andy Stanley continues to prove what a false teacher he has become. He fails to understand that the faith developed BECAUSE of the Bible — the Old Testament. The Bible was assembled in portions in the FIRST century. WE, that is everyone who has lived since the 1st century, DID learn about the resurrection via the Bible. The gospels WERE the Bible for those in the 1st Century.

Fake healers exposed and challenged.

It’s a long video (2+ hours) but many false teachers/false prophets are exposed.  Kenneth Copeland, one of the main targets, is obviously demon-possessed.

Tony Evans says God needs our permission to intervene on earth!

More evidence that the ELCA Lutheran denomination is heretical.

Hillsong, Changing the Bible one Gender at a time. But what else can you expect from a cult.

More Wolves and False Teachings

Todd Bentley — typical behavior of a cult leader.  The man has proven over and over that he is not a Christian.

Michael Brown — sigh. AND, here is also a good exposure of this dangerous wolf’s history of supporting numerous wolves and false teachings.

This is what passes for “worship” in apostate churches.

Steven Furtick — again.  And again.

An example of why Jackie Hill Perry should be avoided like the plague. Good open letter to her — she should heed it.

This is what passes for “tongues” and “interpretation” on heretic Jim Bakker’s show.

This woman is not a Christian, but she is a priest — a priest of Satan.

Another Christian school capitulates to the homosexualists.

Kenneth Copeland is of his father, the devil. He is about as big of a fraud as it gets.

When you see this sort of nonsensical, aberrant, unbiblical teaching, you KNOW you’ve found a false teacher (and probably not even a Christian)!

The Road Away From Him — Enneagram.

The ELCA has proven again that it is NOT a Christian church.

No, Benny Hinn has not repented.  As long as his books aren’t pulled and as long as he stays filthy rich from false teachings, he isn’t repenting. After all, he’s “repented” twice before!

Bethel Church’s Jesus Culture sings blasphemy and heresy.  Go figure.

An example of how Roman Catholics behave as brainwashed cult members.

This is what happens when satan is allowed to take part in your church.

What is it with church leaders who feel the necessity to kow-tow to the practitioners of sexual perversion — sexual behaviors which God in no ambiguous terms hotly condemned?!?!

The Good - For Education and/or Edification

I’m looking for my life to settle down eventually so I can start writing articles again vs just sharing links to other articles.  Now, I do think it is important that these links are shared so more people can be educated not only on the bad stuff happening in the church, but also on the good teachings available for edification.

I’m still doing lots of medical tests and within the next two weeks I will be finished with tests and then wait for surgery to fix a torn tendon in my rotator cuff. So it seems as if we are not home much, which can be easily seen in the weeds over-taking the gardens!

Well, with all that intro, here is another collection of links to interesting articles. I hope you will find the articles to be worth the read.

Is the Gospel No Longer Enough for Black Christians?  “Social Justice” has no place in the Christian Church.

Thought-provoking political article — How socialism violates all Ten Commandments. Although I disagree about violating the law of the Sabbath, because Christians don’t have a Sabbath, and Sunday isn’t the Sabbath anyway.

Are the commands of Acts 15:20 still applicable today?

The Battle Against Heterodoxy

Proper, correct church discipline!

Jesus is Lord.

What is a cult?  Signs to look for.

Is the Apocrypha Scripture? NO!  There are errors. There are other good reasons to reject it. Three early church “fathers” had things to say about it.

Psychiatry — told ya so!

“Sexual Orientation” is a psychological concept and not reality. Analogous to “alcoholism” instead of drunkenness.

Was Jesus tempted by homosexuality?  Of course not — but the LEFTISTS defending homosexuality wants you to think so.

The Fictions and Facts of the Enneagram.

Purgatory and 2 Maccabees 12:39-45.

Angels Unawares.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Good:

Responses to the Most Frequently Raised Discernment Objections

Excellent article about the Roman Catholic Eucharist.  If you haven’t read my article on this topic, you might also find it to be of value.

Amputating Discernment Ministry from the Body of Christ

The Bad:

The Gospel Coalition often surprises me with apostate ideas. Now they think church should be a “safe space” for homosexuals.

The Roman Catholic propaganda movie, The Passion of the Christ, is having a sequel made.  I’m sure it won’t be any more of a solid biblical presentation than the original.  I think I’ll save my money and read the book. For another review of “The Passion…”, this one is much more thorough mine.

Uh boy, the nonsensical Enneagram is coming back in style.

Jen Hatmaker and “de-conversion” stories.

A church of the apostate ELCA denomination is assisting an Islamic terrorist organization!! 

The Ugly:

A good history of the Roman Catholic doctrine of indulgences.  It’s a long read, but very informative.

Oh the idolatry of Roman Catholicism!

The Episcopal Church continues to demonstrate its totally apostate condition.

At the source of the New Apostolic Reformation is the late Bob Jones — and this short video shows what a false teacher/prophet he was.

Paula White — this woman is spiritually dangerous!!!  And this is who supposedly led President Trump to Christ.  I really doubt that Trump has a true understanding of the Gospel.

This is beyond words — only shock and amazement at such stupidity.  I guess when you have an agenda, anything goes.

Finally, more proof that not only is Perry Noble not qualified to be a pastor, but it’s extremely doubtful that he is even a Christian.
