Odds and Ends, Good and Bad

The Brothers That Wrote a Sixth of the Psalms.

The Rise of Christological Heresy. Good explanations of some well-known historical heretical ideas about Christ.

No True Christian … Part One. Make sure to allow the Scriptures to say what a Christian is.  No True Christian … Part Two. Use proper hermeneutics to determine what Christ taught.

No, Mark didn’t invent the “sea” of Galilee. An excellent study to rebut those claim this.

Shrimp and Homosexuality—is God’s view of both the same?

Silly Putty Bible Study.

Has The Church Always Had An Ordained Priesthood?

More LEFTIST myths about Jesus. Was he tolerant of wrong-doing or evil? Was he a political centrist?

Spiritual abuse and Sovereign Grace Ministries led to a very sad situation for a deceived woman. 

When Christians Tolerate Anything and Everybody, You Cannot Guard the Flock Against the Wolves. 

These priests should be defrocked.

What’s wrong with Jesus Calling?

Cindy Jacobs, Another false prophet exposed.

"Christian Psychics" Shawn Bolz and Chris Reed are heretics deceiving people. This 34-minute demonstrates how these guys and their ilk do their “parlor tricks.”

Max Lucado waters down sin to just a “shortcut.”

Church by the Glades is a church of Satan.

More information about why you shouldn’t waste your time watching the fraudulent show, The Chosen. This 53 minute video is very informative.

Lastly, I also have questions!

Agglomeration

I decided to do another one of these posts because I’ve had a lot of stuff which has been shared on sites I follow, and I really think the alerts should go out to everyone. So here is my newest collection of warnings.  Among these are several videos—if you have the time to watch them.

The Revoice movement is invading conservative evangelical assemblies because people really aren’t taking the spiritual danger seriously or are ignorantly accepting it. We even have David Platt’s approval.

Avoid Lifeway Bookstores; buying from them just helps support the rampant heresies they are selling.

The Toronto “revival” of the early 1990s and the move it took to Brownsville, FL (the Pensacola revival) was spiritually dangerous and heavily loaded with false teachings. I believe there was a lot of demonic activity with it, especially the very bizarre manifestations (although some are probably just people wanting attention). The first good church we found in our area in 1996 ended splitting because the pastor and too many followers of charismania were raving about and praising the one in Brownsville. I think Christians still need to be aware of what goes on in such fake revivals. I just don’t understand how intelligent people can accept and/or follow such unholy stuff. Here’s video with some investigation of Toronto.

As I have written (and said) over and over, the ELCA should be called the Evil Leftist Church in America. I can’t see how any true Christian would tolerate this stuff.

Hillsong’s Christmas program was as sleazy as usual. If there are real Christians there, why do they put up with it? 

Beth Moore went over to the Anglican Church in September 2021. I guess she wanted to be where women could be up front in the service preforming duties normally reserved for pastoral staff. Elizabeth Prata has an excellent article about the situation.

This video may be a bit long for you to watch; I watched/listened to it while doing other things. It’s about the deadly wolf Shawn Bolz.  No one should be listening to him.

Just as evil, and I think demonic, is Todd White. This video is only 10 minutes but it is a good example what a hungry wolf White is.  A more thorough, 44 minute video, really proves what a deceiver White is.

This next video is 23 minutes long, but soundly debunks the whole “Jezebel spirit” nonsense.

Another example of all that is wrong with the blasphemous, heretical and just plain nonsensical video series, “The Chosen.”

Then there’s arch heretic Paula White.

Catholic DePaul University has turned its back on God.

Steven Furtick is a narcissistic dangerous wolf.

When we lived in the Chicago area for 17 years, there was a radio program in the evening called “Shepherd’s Chapel” with Andrew Murray. I found the station when I would be waiting to pick up my daughter from work at the city library. As I listed to it I thought the guy was certifiably nuts but would keep listening to yell at it and then when my daughter rode home with me I’d show her what nonsense this guy was teaching. Christian Apologetics & Research ministry is calling them the “cult of the week”: Shepherd’s Chapel is an independent "Church" in Gravette, AR which was founded by a man named Arnold Murray, who commands a large audience primarily through tv and radio. Arnold denies the Trinity, teaches "Anglo-Israelism" (that the British are the "lost ten tribes" of Israel) and the "serpent seed" doctrine (that Satan had sex with Eve producing Cain and the evil race of "Kenites" still on the earth today). Thus, Shepherd's Chapel is a sub-Christian cult...

Cindy Jacobs (along with her husband) is false-teaching member of the New Apostolic Reformation and really, really needs to be avoided like the plague. Her “prophecies” for 2022 are nothing but money-grubbing. I don’t understand how anyone can listen to this false teacher.

Well, that’s it for now.  Now I need to get back to work on way too many jobs.

Superstition About Demons

 

Did you know a demon called "delay" keeps interfering with your blessings?  This is just more unbiblical nonsense found among the charismatic false teachers.  And the sad thing, the real demonic thing, is how these people cause their non-discerning followers to stumble in the faith.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Good:

A good review of Francis Chan’s book, CrazyLove.  A virtually worthless book.

What if you have the wrong Jesus?

Does the O.T. law require a woman to marry her rapist?

Yoga is NOT for the Christian.

What Christians should know about intersectionality.

The apostle Paul was probably a widower.

Ten invalid arguments in defense of false teachers.

The Bad and/or Ugly

The Pope idolizes Mary — for real.  Mike Gendron’s comment: Once again the pope is attributing divine attributes to "another Mary" implying that she is omnipresent in her protection of Catholics from the devil. He robs Christ of His honor and power as the Good Shepherd who promises to protect the sheep that He gave His life to save (John 10:1-30). Tragically, many Catholics listen to the voice of the most influential false prophet in the world, "a hired hand and a thief who comes to steal and kill and destroy" (John 1010:10). Not until they hear and believe the voice of the Good Shepherd will they find eternal life and divine protection.

He idolizers her so much that he has created a new feast day to honor her.

DANGER!!  A new movie-based “Bible Study” is heading for your church.

Another movie—and book—to avoid:  A Wrinkle in Time.

Cindy Jacobs and Chuck Pierce — why does anyone listen to these crackpot heretics?!?!?

How bad does Hillsong have to be before our churches quit using their songs?!?

An example of all that is wrong with Hillsong.

Billy Graham’s funeral was by invitation only, and I think it says a lot about his organization when you learn how many false teachers and heretics were invited.

Among other problems with Billy Graham, I just learned that he was for abortion for rape!  As if the child was responsible for the crime and should be punished!  Go to the 11:35 on the video.

Two heretical, lying peas in a pod: Bill Hamon and Sid Roth.  Roth supports such fakery as a direct revelation to Kevin Zadai which says praying in tongues will enrich you!  This last one Jesus plays a soprano saxophone, and other nonsense—such as Jesus played himself out of hell on the saxophone.

Michael Brown promotes heretic Sid Roth, as well as joining him in his false teachings and Word of Faith heresy as he lies about direct revelation from God.

“Black Hebrew Israelites” —  a very ugly cult.

The humorous 

Middle-Aged Man On Worship Team Clearly Fulfilling Childhood Dream Of Being In Rock Band.  I’m guessing this isn’t far from the truth!

Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Good:

Women are NOT to be preaching to men; i.e., they are not to be leaders in the assembly.

The modern blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Claiming the Holy Spirit is doing what he is not doing.

The Mormons have a new prophet leading the church.  This article gives some good history behind this Mormon tradition. At 93 years old he won’t last long.

A great example as to why we need to know the author and purpose behind the songs sing in church.

The Bad:

A “glory cloud” at Bethel, and a man who is an example of a “charismaniac.”  Believing foolish stuff like this is how people get deceived into cults.

Ever hear of the “Sacred Heart” in Roman Catholicism?  I have, but I never understood the reason behind the term, and never investigated it because I just figured it was more RCC nonsense.  Mary Dalke DID decide to investigate, and I think you’ll find her article to be very interesting.

Here’s an article to keep you up-to-date on the false teachings of Seth Barnes and Adventures In Missions.

More proof that the Pope does not represent Christ.

Some new information (actually old but just brought to light) proving what a horrid false teacher is Shawn Bolz.  Sid Roth is a false teacher, so for Bolz to be on his show to begin with should be enough to raise red flags about Bolz.  The angel Bolz saw was NOT an angel of the Lord.  He seems to have a lot of “visions”—the devil must like him, OR, more likely, Bolz makes up all this nonsense for publicity and attention.

Spiritual danger showing up in 4-H!!

The Ugly:

Heretic Paula White covers her tracks.

I’ve been saying for quite a while now the Michael Brown is dangerous to listen to.  Another example why.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was most likely not a Christian and so should not be praised as such.  He was also a very, very immoral man.

False teacher and “Jezebel” Jory Micah really, really needs to be avoided! (Yet she is another false teacher who Beth Moore promotes!)

Oh my!!!  This conference is nothing less than aberrations and blasphemy.

Cindy Jacobs — run from her as fast as you can. Her psychic ability is “spiritual reading.”

T.D. Jakes says that God needs to hear that you love Him!!

The humorous 

Sad, but humorous.  The result of worshiping “saints.”

Really humorous, although Mormons might be a bit rankled.

I’m not so sure this is really satire rather than factual!

Bill Johnson and Bethel Church

Due to the need for continuous reference to this man and his organization, this post is a “one-stop shopping” place for collecting links to articles about Bill Johnson and his staff or other associated persons, as well as the associated “ministry” band “Jesus Culture.”  (“JC” member false teacher Kim Walker-Smith is also Bethel’s “worship leader” and/or “worship pastor.”)   This man and his organization are spiritually dangerous to the body of Christ, and one of the top most aberrational churches in America.  The following links are copied from previous posts, and may not necessarily be in chronological order.  (I will continue to add to this page as I come across more articles.)

Bill Johnson claims that God does not cause illness, and He never chooses not to heal!

A Review of Bill Johnson’s book, When Heaven Invades the Earth.

Bill Johnson helped restore false teacher/prophet Todd Bentley to “ministry.”

Did you know that God gave every believer the same power to heal that Jesus has?  That is another lie told by Bill Johnson.  I really wish those like Bill, who preach such healing powers, would spend their lives in hospitals and cure the many patients.  Or go to Africa and cure people of Ebola.  They don't do so because they are fake-healers.

Bill Johnson and Bethel Redding are part of the New Apostolic Reformation movement.

A brief summary of all of Bill Johnson’s teachings.  Nothing less than cultic.

Bill Johnson and his associate “pastor” Kris Vallotton want the mantle of heretic William Branham!

They can walk on water or walk through walls!  Scripture twisting with a vengeance.

And let’s not forget the “glory clouds” at Bethel.

More proof that Bethel Church is not about God or Jesus, but about the devil and all the distractions away from the true Faith.  Oh, but you can get Bill Johnson’s “Revival Collection” sermons on thumb drive for the bargain-basement price of $400!  On top of this, Johnson’s cult followers are incensed that this stuff has been exposed and reported!

Bad fruit from Bethel Church.

Then there are young people from Bethel church demonstrating why Johnson is such a false teacher.  The entire video is interesting, as Christians are warning people coming to Benny Hinn’s goat-pen. But at about the 45 minute mark the group from Bethel begin their false teaching, condemning the Christians for exposing a false teacher/heretic!

The cultic nature of Bethel Church.

Bill Johnson, Bethel Church and the Kundalini Spirit and other false spirituality.

More proof that Bethel Redding is not a place where the real Faith is celebrated, or the real Christ is worshipped. (Just to make a point from the title of the article, he’s canceling “debts” not “death.”)

Christianity Today Astray has an interesting article about Bethel Redding. 

Bethel’s youth leader said that Jesus asked him for forgiveness?!?

False prophetess Heidi Baker gives “impartations” at Bethel.

Heidi Baker is a frequent teacher at Bethel, and her “prophecies” get really bizarre.

Bethel has a Holy Spirit fire tunnel — and the false teaching just keeps on growing there, along with false “prophetess” Heidi Baker’s lies and impartations. It is getting less and less rare to see such absurdly unbiblical and demonic nonsense at Bethel.

Heretic Patricia King got a “prophetic word” from the Lord, and Beni Johnson thought it was so good that she shared it with the Bethel Redding congregation.  False teaching spread by false teachers — go figure!  This article shows Beni sharing it, along with other examples of King’s false teachings.

Bethel Redding has in the past claimed that angel feathers have been found in their assembly.  I don’t know if they still find them, but this article shows some of foolish false teachings there.

A new false teaching has come from Bill Johnson’s apostate Bethel Church in California: SOZO - “a psycho-spiritual deliverance and inner healing methodology” (as noted by The Berean Call).  You’ve got to read this one to believe it.

This site has a lot of thorough examination of Bethel and SOZO.

Bethel Redding - Bill Johnson’s circus of aberrant and unbiblical teaching held a healing conference.  (Be sure to examine the many links at the bottom of the article which expose the false teachings of Bethel Redding.)

Bethel Music is just as dangerous as its origin.

This article includes an introduction to just who “Jesus Culture” is and what their beliefs are.

Here is a wee bit more about “Jesus Culture” and the false teaching behind them.  Ken Silva had two very interesting articles which I highly recommend.  First, he highlights Jesus Culture’s Kim Walker-Smith and her false teachings about her encounter with God and Jesus.  The other article examines the connection between Jesus Culture, their church home of Bill Johnson’s Bethel, and rank heretic and false prophet Cindy Jacobs.

JESUS CULTURE—OF BETHEL CHURCH—AND PRACTICING RAISING THE DEAD.  This article discusses Bethel, Jesus Culture, and associate pastor Kris Vallotton, exposing occultism, claims of prophetic office, false teaching, poor hermeneutics, etc.

A video — 1 hr 10 min long — exposing the theology of Jesus Culture: occultism, slain in the spirit, spiritual drunkenness, holy laughter, false signs and wonders, etc.

Jesus Culture’s Kim Walker-Smith claims to have seen God.

Additional information about Johnson and Jesus Culture, and including highlighting false prophetesses Patricia King and Cindy Jacobs and their association with Bethel.

This video demonstrates some of the occultic ideas Jesus Culture professes, including getting an imparting of the Spirit from dead people - they pray to “release the anointing of God” from the corpse of a dead man (“grave sucking”). They claim to know that God is healing someone as they speak - not just once, but at least twice in the video.  This group is dangerous to non-discerning Christians; and they are “more dangerous than bad politics.”  And don’t forget that they are a ministry of Bill Johnson’s church, which, again, demonstrates the nature of the false teaching HE propagates.

Somebody Needs to Set Jesus Culture’s Worship Music on Fire.

“Pastor” Kris Vallotton embraces anti-trinitarianism.

Weird New Age teachings at Bethel, and their prayer house is topped by a pyramid!

Understanding Johnson’s teaching via this review of his book, When Heaven Invades Earth.

Bethel Church pimping heresy.

Tyler Johnson, another Bethel charlatan, this time with a “Dead Raising Team.”

AAAANNNNDDDD, Bill Johnson recommends heretic Todd Bentley.  One false teacher pimping another false teacher.

What are Bill Johnson's heresies?

Todd White and his church Bethel Redding are 100% frauds and tools of Satan.

Bethel continues to prove how heretical it is: Benny Hinn was there for an evening service!

Their horrid indoctrination of children into heresy and apostasy. 

A very good examination of Bill Johnson’s teachings.

What about their "Supernatural School of Ministry"?

Bethel Redding teaches “Firestarters,” to “activate” your prophetic gift.  Cranking out more false prophets.

Bethel Church’s Bill Johnson’s SOZO “ministry” is very, very dangerous.

Bethel Redding and SOZO.  Long video, but very informative about such horrendous false teachings.

Bethel, Hillsong, and associated false teachers are going to “bring Heaven to Earth.”  Just look at the names of the participants to know who to avoid.

More information about Bethel and Bill Johnson.  This place is really bad news.

Bethel Redding is really a very ugly institution pretending to be a Christian assembly. And if this isn’t enough information for proof, try this one.  Then the plot thickens.  And thickens again.

The ignorance and dangerous ideology of Bethel Redding “pastor” Kris Vallotton.

Bizarre NAR activities at Bethel Redding.  That place is NOT Christian.

Kris Vallotton of Bethel Redding is a blatant false teacher — really.   The heresy at Bethel gets deeper as a children’s “pastor” teaches telepathy.

Bill Johnson’s heresy.

The NAR and Bethel just get more and more bizarre.

More on Christalignment.  Kris Vallotton of Bethel Redding has approved of this group.  There is nothing Christian about this.

Proof positive that Bethel’s Kris Vallotton preaches a gospel of wealth.

A “glory cloud” at Bethel, and a man who is an example of a “charismaniac.”  Believing foolish stuff like this is how people get deceived into cults.

More false claims of healing by Bill Johnson and Bethel Redding church.

Bethel Redding can’t get bizarre enough. They teach more and more Word of Faith theology (“little gods”) and false signs and wonders.
