An Agglomeration

Excellent commentary by Marsha West regarding “beloved Christian VIPs” who can lead you down “the primrose path” to a life of sin.

Do you care about doctrine?

Jory Micah is bad news.

Is God Immoral for Killing the Canaanites?

Pride: Celebrating Sin.

The Dangers of False Bible Attribution

Is Satan more afraid of Mary than God?!?

Isn’t The Biblical Account “Good” Enough? Another example of where “The Chosen” deviates from Scripture.

Oh, the blasphemy and twisting of Scripture in The Chosen.  And what about the set celebrating “Pride” month?

David Platt—a teacher to avoid.

Michael Brown’s False Standard for False Prophets.  Many are included among these false prophets.

False teacher/false healer Daniel Adams.

Why Todd White is the Most Dangerous Kind of False Teacher

Presbyterian Church USA is NOT a Christian denomination—it supports and promotes every sexual perversion.

Bethel Church service: Demonic, heretical and fraudulent. What was it that Paul said about men with long hair?  Then there is this abject heresy of Jesus asking for forgiveness from a “pastor”!!!

Necromancy in the Church: Promise Keepers and Steve Berger. God does not send the dead to speak to us.

Some problems for those who are of the KJV Only cult.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Here we go with another installment passing along links to articles to educate Christians as to what is going on in the Church, be it good or bad.  Helping with discernment is the reason for this post, as well as this whole blog!

The Good - For Education and/or Edification

Men prefer debt-free virgins without tattoos? I saw the original article and this is a great defense for that article against its attackers.

Why “gay Christianity” is a false gospel.  You really shouldn’t need to be told this.

‘Priscilla didn’t preach, Deborah didn’t dominate, and Esther wasn’t an egalitarian’.

No, religion is not the cause of wars (except for Islam, which has as its primary mission to subjugated the entire world).

An interesting article regarding God’s design for sexual pleasure in regards to procreation, and why it is intended for marriage only.

What was Adam like?

A great site for exposing Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Are divorced pastors qualified?

Are You a Pharisee?

Seven Sabbath Myths Perpetuated by Adventists.

Was the Sabbath created?

An interesting article supporting December 25th as Christmas

For decades I have been saying that “Christian” bookstores are spiritual minefields.

HMMMM—The Bad

This isn’t about false teachers, but it IS about false representation, especially to Christians.  Chick-fil-A has decided to cave in to the LGBTQXYZ mob, and while researching the cave they have been found to already stabbing Christians in the back. Yet here is their claim:  “[We are] based on biblical principles, asking God and pleading with God to give us wisdom on decisions we make about people and the programs and partnerships we have. And He has blessed us.” Check out this excellent commentary.

This is how I fight my battles?
 Enough said.

And the UGLY!

Jory Micah—She doesn’t care what God thinks:

More evidence proving that the ELCA is not a church, but it is a goat pen led by those who would rather follow satan

A good example of why women shouldn’t be preaching?

More Paula White heresy. She gets the false teacher of the year award.

Another example of the apostate nature of the United Methodist Church. Perhaps they should read 1 Cor. 11:27-30.

Quakers and homosexuality.

The Pope and is RCC organization blaspheme God on a daily basis. Marsha West demonstrates that the Pope is considered of all Christians, but to do so the RCC must twist Scripture beyond recognition.

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!

Good, Bad, and Ugly

Although we are in sort of a drought, with virtually no rain for over a month (all the grass is turning brown, etc), it’s giving me time to work on fixing our deck, fixing our picket fence, digging out lilies (they’ve spread too much), etc.  On top of the yard work I’ve had a lot of piping gigs (including band gigs) keeping me busy so I’m not getting much of a chance to write articles.  Nevertheless, I’m still trying to keep up with apologetic news so I can alert my readers to some good articles as well as alert them to more about false teachings — and about the horrid stuff to beware of!

The Good:

Interesting article about how sexual immorality is turning people away from the Church — not because the Church rejects them, but because they KNOW what they are doing is wrong.

An open letter to Roman Catholics.

A good examination of the Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation.

Excellent listing of the false teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Some excellent charts to help you decide what translation of the Bible you’d prefer.

Modern gnosticism invading the church.

The Bad:

Michael Brown exposed for his lies, as well as proof that his audience is gullible.

Jory Micah, solidly shown to be a heretic.

The questionable John Maxwell.

I get amused when Calvinists attack another respected staunch Calvinist.  They are correct about Piper’s bad stuff, though.

The Ugly:

Hillsong Leaders suffering from pride or narcissism? Part 1: Christine Caine.

The wolves continue to fleece the sheep.

The Pope is a LEFTIST hack.  He has decided to be against abortion we must also be for allowing illegal immigrants to invade our country.  Then on top of that he has decided that if you deny their is a connection between the recent hurricanes and “global warming” are denying science.  Okay, what about the scientist who claims “climate change” has nothing to do with the hurricanes, let alone the tons of research proving that “climate change” (aka global warming) is nothing but a fraud, and an agenda for more government control?  The Pope pretends to be an authority appointed by God but his LEFTIST ideology is as false as his theology!

“The Message” translation is a herephrase.  I like the term.  The Message is a “mess,” as I have previously noted.

But quietly, there are the thousands of faithful Christians who practice polyamory—living lives of giftedness, dignity, and worth, but receiving next-to-no spiritual support.  

Um, how can they call themselves “Christian” when they violate Christ’s teachings about marriage?  This article comes from a supposed Christian site, but their “Christianity” is all of the liberal variety, which is not Christian at all.

Delusion on Parade:  Word of Faith “Weather Warriors”

Hillsong and “theoerosism.”  Makes ya wanna puke!

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

Doug Evans has a good examination of Steven Furtick and his Code Orange heresy fest.

Why the KJV is NOT the best translation:

Catholics keep proving over and over that they have no clue about the real teachings of Christ.

Of course when the Pope himself focuses on environmentalism rather than Christ, then what can we expect from his followers?

Why don’t you recommend GOOD teachers?  I agree with Amy Spreeman, which is why I do what I do here at The Watchman’s Bagpipes.  Oh, I will occasionally recommend a good one, but I tend to spend more time alerting people to the danger of the wolves.

This satire could really be true!

I find it to be very disappointing to learn that Eriwn Lutzer says we shouldn’t attack false teachers.  But, it isn’t something new because too many pastors say we should not worry so much about exposing false teachers but rather we should just teach the truth and people will discover for themselves who is false and who isn’t.  This, of course, has been demonstrated to be a 100% false philosophy — otherwise the false teachers wouldn’t be so prevalent and so powerful!  At any rate, the article also exposes what a false teacher Larry Crabb is (which I’ve know for many, many years!).  (The article makes a big issue about what Lutzer didn’t say, but that doesn’t concern me too much because one would have to have a whole lot more time to say everything the article suggested; my concern is about what Lutzer did say.)

Church by the Glades should be better named “Goat Pen by the Glades.”

Comparing Adventures in Missions to the Emergent Church.  Peas in pod.

Oh no — Jesus Calling now has a sequel!  Sarah Young continues her claims about revelation from Jesus in her new book, Jesus Always.  Warn your friends against this garbage.

Andy Stanley’s apologetic and a great response to it!

Here’s one I don’t remember hearing about — the Catalyst Conference.  Looking at the names involved, I have the same question — what’s Swindoll doing there?

I’m always learning about another false teacher, this time it is Billye Brim.  Anyone Hagin “anointed” are part of Satan’s realm.  One can never keep up with the apostate state of the Church today! (Oh, and Sid Roth is about as false teacher as they get!)

The false doctrine of Jory Micah

Another reason to avoid teachings by Lysa Terkeurst.

Stay away from iDisciple!!!   Save yourself from lots of false teaching.
