False Prophets

Error is Subtle

Error indeed, is never set forth in its naked deformity, lest, being exposed, it should at once be detected.  But it is craftily decked out in an attractive dress, so as, by its outward form, to make it appear to the inexperienced (ridiculous as the expression may seem) more true than the truth itself.

Another Thought-Provoking Agglomeration

This article is not about apologetics regarding false teachers but it is about apologetics in regards to human sexuality and God’s reason and meaning for it. This should be heeded by our culture.

Along with this teaching, we see that American Churches are Killing Christianity.

Of course, the next two items shows what happens when “Christian” organizations ignore God’s teaching on sexuality:

When a “Divinity” School proves it is not associated with the God of the Bible by claiming that God approves of sexual deviancy and perversion.

Wheaton College, which is supposedly a Christian institution, first went wrong by having a “School of Psychology Counseling and Family Therapy.” Psychology, after all, is totally unbiblical nonsense, as well as not being founded on anything bordering on science. Along with this “school” they have a subdivision titled “Sexual and Gender Identity Institute Research” which, I’m sure you can guess what this leads to. Nothing like bowing to the culture.

“Wokism” is the new religion of our culture. Those who are “woke” really need to hear the Gospel.

The Children of Men: Understanding the Human Origins of Heresy.

Let’s look at some false teachers and learn how discernment is necessary to avoid their traps.

Emma Stark is a false prophet in the New Apostolic Reformation.

Kat Kerr is about as bizarre as these false prophets come.

Here we have a “pastor” with false teachings about dreams while abusing the story of Joseph. Pay attention to how he twists the Bible to tell his lies.

Pope Francis is again preaching un-Christian clap-trap: he is essentially saying that we are all racists.

Francis Chan should be avoided, period.

Bethel Church continues to prove they are a cult with such ridiculous prophets as the one who claims Jesus came into her bedroom with a ring and asked her to marry him!

Bethel also has some outrageous claims with their false teachings on healing.

Christianity Today Astray has long employed false teachers in their editorial staff. Now they are trying to fit evolutionism with the Bible.

Lastly, how about we learn Unwinding False Teaching?

Agglomeration

I’ve been bombarded with items this past couple weeks and the items really need to be broadcast to as many Christians (and even non-believers) as possible; we need to teach discernment and educate people about the truth of the Christian faith and doctrines.

I’m going to start, though, with an excellent teaching about REAL spiritual warfare. You don’t need to “bind” Satan (and can’t anyway).

A good article exposing the false idea of “many paths to God” is by Don and Joy Veinot of Midwest Christian Outreach apologetics ministry.

Biologos purports to teach about God and science but they really deny the Word of God and don’t even use real science; they just make speculations, assumptions and assertions about the past and therefore ignore what God tells us. Answers In Genesis has a 3-part examination of Biologos’ heresy and false teachings, as well as responding to their claims of misrepresentation. Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.  I strongly suggest avoiding the use of Biologos for any research.

Sometime back I read an article about the relationship between David and Bathsheba, with a claim that David raped Bathsheba. I don’t remember the author but I just don’t see that in Scripture. When a well-known and (too-well) respected teacher such as John Piper teaches this, I have to alert my readers again to avoid Piper’s teachings like the plague.

“Slain in the Spirit” is a fraud. It has become a popular teaching by TV heretics as well as by those leading the many false revivals. Biblically, there is no such thing.

Lighthouse Trails has an excellent short article (available also as a booklet) expose major problems with “The Chosen” video series. Christians should not be watching or recommending this blasphemous trash.

Jennifer Eivaz is a New Apostolic Reformation “prophetess” (as will as an “associate minister”). Of course she is “par for the course” when it comes to the NAR, even though I’ve never before heard of her! Famine in the Land is an excellent site for keeping up with the false teachings of the NAR, Hillsong, Bethel, et al. I first read of Eivaz via a 2017 article from them which was recently posted on Facebook. The other post, from 2019, was also recently posted on FB and it reviews her book Glory Carriers, which was mentioned in the 2017 article. This woman’s teachings are dangerous—have nothing to do with her!

The meme at the beginning of this post comes from an article exposing Bethel Music as a “Trojan Horse” of false teachings. In this vein, Midwest Christian Outreach has an article discussing other ministries’ music and the “worship wars” among churches which have developed over the years.

The Presbyterian Church (USA) continues it’s spiral of heresy and other false teachings as they bear false witness against Israel with claims they are enslaving the so-called “Palestinians” and false claims in regards to the founding of Israel (among the many other false teachings promoting the LGBTQ agenda, women in the pulpit, etc).

Michael O. Emerson provides “learning resources” for “Christian leaders and their institutions,” yet he claims that 2/3 of “white practicing Christians are not followers of Christianity” but are “followers of the religion of whiteness.” He has brought Critical Race Theory to Christianity to make white Christians nothing but a bunch of racists. So why are “Christian leaders and their institutions” wasting money with this racist?

Beth Moore is now whining that John MacArthur has not apologized for hurting her feelings by speaking the truth.

Well, if you have the time I have three videos to recommend for your education (usually listen to these types of videos while doing other things):

J.D.Greear laments that real Christians are leaving his “woke” church. The video is just short of 24 minutes long

As I have noted in previous posts, the Passion Translation” of the Bible is a dangerous publication coming from the NAR. This video exposes some of the issues with it. 38 minutes long.

This last video is almost 45 minutes long, but exposes some dangerous wolves posing as Christian teachers. Some of the examples are claims of channelling God, claims to speak for God, claims that God has a covenant with the USA, and many false prophecies by so-called “prophets.”

God Told You What?!?!?

Beware of those who tell you that God spoke to them -- they are LIARS.

Good and Evil

First, the good stuff:

Sheol, Hades, and Gehenna: are there differences?

Solid teaching about the tithe. I’ve said too many times that Christians do NOT tithe. (The article also exposes Bill Johnson as a false teacher.)

The New Apostolic Reformation is an heretical teaching by false prophets and false apostles. Learn their language.

To Be or Not to Be Accountable.  False prophets need to be exposed, period.

Ah, now the bad and downright evil:

Proof that the Pope does not represent Christ or God. The man has gone full-blown LEFTIST.

The Roman Catholic Church is more and more supportive of sexual perverts and deviancy. Proof that they do not speak for God. They really need to start excommunicating these so-called “Catholics.”  Especially Jesuits who are supposedly more devout!

Catholics have historically voted Demokrat, for some absurd reason. Well, this is what you get when you vote Demokrat, whether Christian or Catholic.

The blatant lies and false teachings behind the fraudulent Bible translation known as “The Passion Translation.” The video is long and I had to go back to it several times to finish listening while doing other things. However, the information and exposure of the fraud is well worth the time.

Clint Adams has a review of one of Jen Wilkin’s books. Just another example of her poor teaching.

About that “transgender” ELCA “pastor.”  A very good examination.

I keep warning you about Tim Keller.

Another false teacher I hadn’t previously heard of — Jennie Allen.

Andy Stanley is a vicious wolf.

False teacher Joseph Prince.  Followed by, false teacher Priscilla Shirer. And let’s just remind everyone that T.D. Jakes is also a false teacher, as well as a racist.

Gwen Shamblin, of the cultic “Weigh Down Workshop” and “Remnant Fellowship” was killed in a plane crash.  Two articles worth perusing about her:  “Weighed Down With False Doctrine” and “Weigh Down Workshop a Cult?”

CRU (i.e., Campus Crusade for Christ) is on a death spiral.

A great argument against women priests/pastors!

Stay away from World Vision.

One bit of Mormonism I hadn’t given much thought to is their belief that God ordained the Fall. Well, in this regard they are just like Calvinists; Calvinists say God has foreordained everything!

Distressing Things Within the Church

Let’s start with a look at the investigation into Ravi Zacharias’ “Decades of Sexual Abuse.” On top of this report we have learned that he lied about his credentials. Although he was a brilliant teacher, I could never, ever again recommend anything he has written.  Here’s another article on the topic.  No one should try to defend him.  The last word about Ravi from Elizabeth Prata.

The only evidence you need to prove Tim Keller is a false teacher.

STOP using satanic practices; don’t even play with them!

Todd Bently is back. This heretic, blasphemer of God, and false prophet continues to prove how bad he really is. These claims of visions are either bald-faced lies or from the demonic world. At any rate he certainly isn’t a believer.

More on the cult of Hillsong. And still more.

NO CHURCH should allow Hillsong, Bethel, or Elevation music into their assembly.

Thabiti Anyabwile has become “woke.” And it you don’t agree with him you are “ravaging churches” and causing “re-segregation.” Stay away from him.

Yes, Joyce Meyer is a horrid false teacher.

The “gospel” of the New Apostolic Reformation. Keep away from this heresy.

Watch out for pro-sodomy theology.

Several times on the blog I have warned about the false teachings of Max Lucado. This article is another perfect example of how Lucado seeks to appease sinners.

Beware the false prophets and false apostles!

Let’s end with an excellent sermon about discernment, and the pastor doesn’t shy away from naming names!

Hodge-Podge

I’ve come across many several articles lately which I feel need to be shared.

First, I’ll give you an article which has some good teaching about divorce and which I agree with.

The remaining links are to articles exposing the bad stuff invading the body of Christ and which you need to avoid!

Hillsong can’t seem to stay out of the limelight. Now they are being sued for failure to pay their bills.

Another reason to really hate Hillsong leadership. But don’t forget the false teachers who want spiritual unity with Muslims!

Stay away from any assembly which is a part of the Association of Related Churches (ARC); false teachings are part of their warp and weave.

Never, NEVER buy or read the heretical Passion Translation of the Bible.

Well, well; another false “pastor” is leaving the Southern Baptist Convention.

Bethel just gets worse by the day. This makes me want to puke. It is not from God.

More about those apologetic false prophets. But hey, Michael Brown, false teacher that he is, defends false prophets!

Beth Moore gets worse by the day.  Elizabeth Prata has a good back-story on Beth.

Real Christianity is being hijacked by pretenders.

Lisa Bevere is a teacher to really, really avoid.

False Prophets Are Quite Active

When a false prophet is proven wrong, why doesn’t he step down or why don’t the congregation boot him? God felt so strongly against false prophets that in the O.T. Israel was to stone them!

Of course this clown isn’t the only one. The blasphemous group called “Bethel” has their own false prophets, and Kris Vallotton made the same prophecy as Johnson! Apologies for false prophecies don’t cut it.

Charismatic false prophets are “at war with each other over” these failed prophecies.

Where Is DISCERNMENT?!?!

What Is Discernment?

STOP misrepresenting/co-opting Jesus!

The Mediocrity of Christian Men.

Watch out for William Lane Craig’s false teaching about Genesis.

Another popular Christian, Phil Vischer, denies the Genesis creation record.

Hillsong again. Even former members agree with me that it is a cult! It just goes from bad to worse. Don’t forget I’m offering to send you a copy of my full article on Hillsong at no charge.

Some of the most infamous false prophets/false teachers are exposed by the ATHEIST media!

The Ravi Zacharias situation. Very sad to realize how this man had deceived so many people.

An example of all that is wrong with The Gospel Coalition. What “gospel” are they teaching?

This is about as blasphemous and stupid as it gets. But what else can you expect from a United Methodist Church “minister”?

Another “minister” who worships a satanic god; he is anti-Semitic, pro-abortion, pro-same-sex fake marriage, pro-homosexuality an “transgender” in general, says one can’t serve in the military and serve God (what about Israel’s O.T. army raised by God?), is pro-Marxist, anti-white racist and has “credible accusations of spousal and child abuse” against him. He’s a wolf.

It must be true; I saw it on the Internet.

Critical Race Theory is invading the church; it is a horrid teaching.  Stay tuned for Part 2.

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.
