Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

Here I am still busier than a one-armed wall-paper hanger, and still hoping to have time to continue my review of the book, New Age Bible Versions.  And I’m working as quickly as possible to get all my articles about Mormonism transferred over to my new “Anti-Mormon Blog,” while also adding “Random….” posts over there!  

I am still trying to keep up with the latest news about false teachings and false teachers so as to warn my readers about these things with these “Random” posts.  Meanwhile, I hope the quotes I have been posting here have been thought-provoking or edifying.  

I don’t visit “Christian” book stores much, because walking through them gets me riled up to see all the false and heretical teachings being sold as “Christian,” so I apparently missed that Joel Osteen, in collaboration with his wife Victoria, have their own Bible being published.  “Hope For Today Bible” features “Notes and Encouragement from Joel & Victoria Osteen.”  Just what we need — a Bible polluted with the Osteens’ poison.

I’ve previously reported on the new “Holy Ghost” movie and how unbiblical it is (of course).  I came across a YouTube video this week, which I recommend for your viewing, which has an excellent review of the movie.  It is 1 hr 36 minutes in length, but it would be well worth your while.  I was able to watch/listen to this review by keeping it in one corner of my desktop screen while I worked on other projects — that might be a good way for you to spend the time.

If you’ve never heard of Dr. Scott McQuate, be forewarned that he is a false teacher.  Earlier this year The Berean Call exposed some of his teachings, and a reader took issue with them.  The latest issue of TBC has a thorough response to the reader, with a good examination of McQuate’s teachings.

Beth Moore seems to never be out of the spotlight with her false teachings.  Her teaming up with Joyce Meyer is just one of the things which prove she doesn’t hear from God as she claims!  Erin Benziger has a bit more examining of Moore’s teachings.

Lighthouse Trails Research Ministry has a new booklet tract available:  “Changing ‘Jesus Calling’ — Damage Control for a False Christ.”  You can read it in its entirety on-line.

“Satanism is on the rise, according to the International Association of Exorcists, whose members recently convened with Pope Francis to receive a blessing at the Vatican.”
Can anyone show me from Scripture where Christians are to have exorcism ministries?  OF course with the Pope blessing them, that’s just another example of the false teachings of Rome.

Rick Warren and Russell Moore are teaming with the Pope for an “interfaith conference.”  Can’t you just imaging Paul telling the Church to have “interfaith conferences” with the pagans of his day?

Mark Driscoll - again.  That guy just needs to grow up, have a serious repentance, and give up all ministry ideas.  As he plays the victim, he is a disgrace to the body of Christ.

Finally, one of the favorite claims of the LEFT, and liberal so-called “Christians,” is that Jesus was a socialist.  Stan puts this argument to rest.  (Beware when visiting his site — Stan is an ardent Calvinist!  But he often has some good teachings, and he seems to be an overall nice guy.)
