Another Agglomeration

The Real History of Israel and Palestine – Pt. 1 Then read Part 2.

A very good, thought-provoking article about “Enjoying the Anger of Jesus.”

Does the Bible Encourage Masters to Beat Their Slaves? NOPE!

No, Jesus would NOT have us vote for Kamala Harris or the Demonkratic party.  “Evangelicals for Harris” is also very, very pro-abortion, which is something NO Christian should be.

Who Were the Emergent Church Leaders? Where Are They Now? Excellent review of the movers and shakers of the Emergent movement and how they still cause damage in the Church.

Beth Moore’s latest study: critique and review. As bad of a teacher as always.

I don’t remember ever hearing of Joni Lamb before, but she definitely needs to be warned against.

Heresy by the Pope! He essentially says all religions lead to the same God.  A wee bit of humor has the Pope debating with Jesus.

Blasphemy in the Church by those who condone and support the LGBTQ+ agenda. Satan is very active turning this nation even more and more into Sodom and Gomorrah.

Robert Morris is indeed a false teacher.

Heidi Baker, Billy Burke, etc, false teachers.

The Gospel Coalition loves to twist Scripture for their ideology.

I just had to share this false teacher, spawn of satan, so you can see what is out there and what  we real Christians have to work against. The article doesn’t give her name or “church,” for which I am glad.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

Well, with my 8-day vacation I’m really behind on the news.  I had a few links collected for stories prior to my departure and I’ve added a few more since yesterday.  One just can’t keep up with all the apostasy and heresy and aberrations within the Church!  But let’s look at what I’ve collected.

Calvary Chapel Association is more and more invaded by false teaching, and one pastor fed up with it has removed his assembly from the association.

Kenneth Copeland instituted Andrew Wommack’s office of prophet!  One false prophet making another; go figure.  More proof that Wommack is a false teacher to be avoided like a plague.  H/T to one of my readers.

No, there are no longer Apostles today.  The NAR are liars.

Boy oh boy — the New Apostolic Reformation’s narcissism examined.

Good advice when dealing with a Jehovah’s Witness.

Robert Morris is a false teacher.  He says that if you don’t tithe, then you open the door to demons.  He calls it stealing from God.  How many times do we have to say that CHRISTIANS DON’T HAVE TO TITHE!!!  The tithe was for Israel ONLY!!

The origin of the name “Jehovah” proves the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons are false beliefs — as if we need another example!  HT Doug.

Rachel Held Evans thinks voting for Hillary Clinton is “pro-life.”

Excellent examination of Joel Osteen’s teachings!

Andy Stanley just keeps getting worse.

Just what we need, another gathering of false teachers.

Speaking about false teachers — they are not just on the Total Blasphemy Network (aka TBN).

Oprah loves false teacher Steven Furtick.  Go figure.  The man is a rank WOLF!

This is how church should be?!?!?

If anyone still has any doubt that Rick Warren is a false teacher, how about explaining this?

Did you know that a prophet who makes a false prophesy can just say “oopsie”?  Neither did I. I think Vonda Brewer should read Deuteronomy 18:20.

Speaking of false prophets — this is not satire!

Jonathan Cahn — again.  I can hardly wait to read the reviews of this book, which will be guaranteed to be a collection of false teachings.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

Another collection today!

I had to be amused about this article.  President Obama can’t understand why REAL Christians can’t accept his claim of being a Christian.  Let’s see: could it be that he spent 20 years in an assembly of the United Church of Christ - the most heretical and aberrant denomination still claiming to be Christian?  Could it be that the “pastor” he sat under for 20 years taught racism?  Could it be because his “pastor” taught Black Liberation Theology?  Could it be because he is 100% pro-homosexual behavior and has fought to establish same-sex fake marriage?  Could it be his rabid protection and promotion of abortion?  Could it be his support for Islam?  What about all these reasons and more?  The man abuses Scripture when he does mention Christian teachings!  Mr. Obama has no understanding of the Christian faith, promotes heretical theology and rebellion against God and he wonders why his claim to be a Christian is questioned?!?!?!?

A major story in the news this past week is the mega-church in Nashville whose “pastor” Stan Mitchell has decided to embrace same-sex fake marriage as well as homosexual behavior in general.  He claims to “sense the presence of God.”  So not only has he led his congregation into apostasy, but he blasphemes God while he’s at it.  Denny Burke points out that his church really transitioned to this point three years ago due to being “bereft of biblical ecclesiology.”  Larry Tomczak has an excellent “Word of Warning to a Gay-approving Nashville Church and Beyond.”  I especially like Larry’s opening statement by Adolf Hitler.

The sad thing is that those who practice homosexual behavior while maintaining that they are Christians is becoming the norm.   These people think rebelling against God is okay.

I can’t think of a much more blasphemous sculpture than one which claims to be a homeless “Jesus” sleeping on a bench.  Of course the local PCUSA “pastor” is excited about it.  What can you expect from an apostate denomination?  Oh, and you’ll be excited to know that the Pope commissioned it to go to Rome!!  Pure idolatry.

Yet another article explaining what the Bible really means when it says, “Judge not that ye be not judged.”

“Let’s Stop Singing These 10 Worship Songs.”  I can think of a lot more to add to this list!  In a discussion about worship songs with a friend, he said, “When you feed kids milk it’s hard to wean them...even harder when an industry is built up around the milk products.”  He was so right on target.

Some quick memes to learn what Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen teach.

One of the heretical teachings from the Word of Faith teachers is that Jesus was actually made into sin while on the Cross.  The Cripplegate has an excellent article to refute such nonsense.

Many of these same heretics claim that dead heretics appear to them in dreams.

Finally, the station which hosts a huge number of these WoF heretics is the subject of a scandal, which really doesn’t surprise me.  These people are only in it for the millions of dollars the swindle out of their deceived followers.

Random Apostasies and Heresies

It is getting more and more difficult to keep up with the fast pace of apostasy and heresy invading the Church.  I can only try to give you highlights of stuff to look out for and to stay away from if you want good spiritual health.  I realize I’ve only posted two articles since my last “Random” collection, but my list has gotten too long to not post another “Random” article.  So hold onto your seat-belts, because this will be a rough ride.

Calvary Chapel has in the past been considered a very fundamental denomination, and I have indeed recommended the local assemblies.  However, the more I read about various Calvary assemblies moving over to the Emergent side of apostasy, the more leery I become about recommending them.  I have personally met a local C.C. pastor, and he is adamant about keeping Emergent stuff out, so this appears to be an assembly-by-assembly thing to check.  However, founder Chuck Smith seems to be leading the way into Emergent.  Stay tuned.

Another story about Kay Arthur gives me some more uneasy feelings about her; she has a story about her back-and-forth discussion with God.  This claim to direct revelation disturbs me.

If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time, you should know that Joel Osteen is not someone any Christian should listen to; the man is about as heretical as they get.  He may be a great motivational speaker, but he is not a teacher of the Word of God.  Well, he has a new book out, which brings him again into the media spotlight.  Of course, like his other books, you will find no Christian teaching in this one, and it seems the Word of Faith heresy is even stronger.  The fact that New Age guru Deepak Chopra thinks Osteen’s teaching is good should tell you something!  Albert Mohler’s article not only exposes this, but he also discusses Osteen’s answers in regards to questions about homosexuality.  Osteen really has a problem saying that homosexual behavior is a sin.  After all, he wouldn’t want to offend the many homosexuals in his congregation. 

Another example of Osteen’s horrible teaching in his new book is demonstrated by this video.  Osteen really, really has no clue what the Bible says, and yet thousands of Christians waste their money on his books!

Rick Warren’s apostasy just keeps building.  His focus on the social gospel long ago left the real gospel behind, but the real disturbing thing is his “bridge to Muslims.”  His idea is not to try to convert Muslims and bring them to salvation, rather he just wants Christians and Muslims to work together.  Can you imagine King David asking the Israelis to work together with the Canaanites?  Yet Warren has decided to work to have Christians declare that we worship the same God as do Muslims!!  This is just plain false; the god of Islam is NOT the God of the Bible.  The claim is that there are 1400 years of misunderstandings between Christians and Muslims, but I don’t see misunderstanding at all except on the part of Warren and his lackeys who do not see Islam for the pagan, violent religion that it is.  While we can respect individuals, we are not to respect belief systems which are against God and His Word, as is Islam.  Warren needs to read 2 Corinthians 6:14.  Far too many Christians are following this false teacher.

Continuing on the subject of Rick Warren, his “purpose-driven” nonsense just keeps morphing and building into more and more unbiblical teaching.  He has a new campaign to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his PDL, titled, “What on earth am I here for?”  Do you really think he’ll give you a biblical response?

On the subject of Saddleback and the Warrens, it seems that Saddleback is planning on having Kay Warren preach messages there this coming weekend - again violating the Bible’s teaching that women are not to be in that position (they previously had Christine Caine teaching, and Kay has previously done so).  They are also having Mark Driscoll come to teach, and he is someone who should not be promoted as a good teacher, for reasons I have thoroughly explained in previous articles.  However, a current, short article demonstrates the complete arrogance of Driscoll and what he thinks of his followers.

More and more Christians are pandering to the Mormons, and I just don’t understand the why behind such thinking.  Mormons are NOT Christian!!!  Another “pastor,” Robert Morris, now claims Glenn Beck is “a believer.”  Beck is a Mormon, and not even a good one because he mixes in a lot of New Age beliefs in his personal system.  Of course Morris is of the cultic Word of Faith belief system, so much of what he teaches doesn’t come close to true Christian faith anyway, so perhaps that is why he doesn’t recognized that Beck is not a “believer” in the Christian faith.

Another book has hit the shelves purporting to describe a visitation to heaven.  This one is titled, “My Proof of Heaven.”  As usual, the story is not orthodox in its claims, and a good review of it can be found at Guarding His Flock.

Neil Simpson, at Eternity Matters, has been giving lots of exposure over the past few months to Chuck Currie.  Currie seems to be one of those false teachers the media likes to give time and coverage to, so he really needs to be exposed so as to warn the sheep not to be taken in by him.  Currie claims to be a Christian, but there is no way a person with his belief system can be a true believer.  To begin with, he is a “minister” with the apostate and heretical United Church of Christ; that’s enough in and of itself to know to stay away from him.  He also promotes the social gospel, as well as every left-wing ideology conceivable - including abortion, the homosexual agenda, etc.  The man can twist the Scripture as good as any Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness, so that the Bible becomes unrecognizable in his hands.  For a good example of Currie’s teachings, take a look at Neil’s newest post about him.

Now go read the Bible and learn the truth!
