Good, Bad, and UGLY

So much comes across my desk that it’s difficult to keep up with it!!

First, the good

A very interesting article about the names in Jesus’ genealogy.

Good, thought-provoking article about the current state of the church. This is from an email received from a ministry I have followed for years; I had been receiving this newsletter in the mail but I recently signed up for the email version.

Another thought-provoking article explaining how Christians are responsible for the state of our politics.

Godly rainbows and ungodly replicas. Thoughts about the culture in which we must live.

The Bad

Nation of Islam: a racist, anti-Semitic cult.

New Saddleback Church pastor, Andy Wood, is a false teacher.

A perfect example of why we quit supporting the Salvation Army years ago—and we used to be bell-ringers!

Joyce Meyer, heretic extraordinaire, now has a tattoo for God.  NO, she doesn’t “belong to Jesus,” and those who follow her are non-discerning sheep.

Is There Gnosticism In Your Church?

UGLY

Another example of the false teaching by Bethel’s Kris Vallotton.  But there’s more!  He also teaches the New Age idea of spirit animals. Vallotton is a perfect example of the problems with Bethel Redding “church.”

Then there’s the lying Bethel “pastor", Sean Feucht, teaching more unbiblical nonsense.

And don’t forget just how unbiblical and nonsensical is Hillsong.

Baptism of fire? NONSENSE!

“Christian” ouija board?!?! Talk about an oxymoron! It’s satanic.

If you think you can ‘bind satan’, think again.

Kat Kerr is more bizarre as days go by!

More evidence proving that the United Church of Christ has nothing to do with Christ. This particular assembly brags about a congregation of “over 50% LGBTQ.”

Beating a dead horse, maybe, but I can’t warn enough about The Chosen and how bad it is. And don’t forget they will give you a free trial of an “app” that lets you pray with cast members!

NOW, how about a humorous way to teach the Gospel to end this post!

More Evidence of Church Apostasy

The evidence of the Church at large going into apostasy is overwhelming when reading daily news items.  It can be disheartening, but also encouraging at the same time because we know these apostates with fold with persecution and the true Church will become more evident.  Watch out for these wolves and false teachings of every sort, that you don’t let them lead you astray.

This is why we quit ringing the bells and supporting the Salvation Army.

These “churches” are dens of iniquity. Their leaders are wolves. The Episcopal Church and the United Church of Christ especially long ago left any semblance of following Christ. The others mentioned in the article are following Satan as they worship Molech.

Beth Moore — again!  Why do churches continue to support her!?!?

Go figure; a United Methodist Church is putting on a Muslim Christmas play! Oh the apostasy of that denomination never ceases to amaze me!

Pope Francis proves he has no clue.  In fact, he is trying to convince everyone that we need more Muslim “immigrants!”  (As well as “immigrants” in general.) As usual, the Pope cares nothing for sovereign nations and their laws, contrary to what Scripture says about obeying the laws of the land. He is a shill for the LEFT. 

The Church of England has bowed to the “transgender” agenda and has approved baptism for them.

I’ve posted many things about James MacDonald over the years, but here is an excellent article exposing all sorts of sin and corruption problems at Harvest Bible Chapel. And here is a followup. And, another one.

Lifeway “Christian Resources” is just another minefield of false teachings, and yet get praise from The Gospel Coalition! 

With a place like this as their seminary, it’s no wonder that the ELCA has been apostate for decades!

So why hasn’t Rome excommunicated all these apostates?!?!?

More on the situation with Lauren Daigle; some people don’t like their favorite stars to be criticized.  I found this article to be right on the money, but also quite humorous.

A perfect example of why Andy Stanley MUST be considered a false teacher — his new book, Irresistible.

A “bishop” of Satan’s “church.”  How these people can thumb their noses at God and expect His blessings is beyond me!

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

Good news — Clayton Jennings has lost his ministry endorsement from his home church.

Tim Tebow and Clayton Jennings—I think I’m going to be ill!  Totally putrid video.  Both announcers have poor discernment.

“The word eros is not in the Bible” — Something women need to remember.

Perry Noble: the man who never, ever should have been in a pastoral position — or any other leadership position for that matter!

The beginning of the demise of Calvary Chapel.  And more slipping down the slope.

Part two of the investigation into the Salvation Army.

Another false teacher, “pastor” Colby Martin, tries to demonstrate that God really is okay with homosexuality.  Why is it that these false believers seek support for homosexual behavior but not for adultery or prostitution or bestiality, etc?  Why is it that their favorite, untouchable sexual perversion is homosexuality?!?  I’d say this was the “things taught by demons” — Satan really found the niche, didn’t he?

The Covenants: The Continental Divide of Biblical Interpretation.  Excellent article with information needed for dealing with Seventh-day Adventists and others locked into legalistic adherence to the Old Testament covenants.  (Lengthy, but worth it — I get the magazine in the mail so I could read it while sitting on my sofa!)

What exactly is “Lectio  Divina?”

Hillsong’s marketing techniques are shared for all.  Somewhere along the line they forgot what the assembled Church is for.

No, Jesus was NOT married to Mary Magdalene.

Some good information about the business cult of Scientology (it is not a religion, contrary to their claims so as to be a tax shelter).

Some real concerns with Jan Markell.

Adventures in Missions’ World Race “Parents’ Guide” seems to be a harbinger of cultism.

Are you being led by a “Judas Goat”?

If you want to teach the real gospel to a Catholic, then the Pope says you are guilty of “a grave sin.”  Well, I’d rather reach a Catholic with the truth so they can be eternally saved than to worry about “sinning” against the Pope!

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

We often shop at Hobby Lobby for various craft items.  Hobby Lobby is owned by a supposed Christian family, but I have noticed over the years that Hobby Lobby is right there with Family Christian Stores when it comes to propagating heresy and false teachings of every sort.  Books they sell right up by the checkouts are about fake heaven visits, the “Jesus Calling” fraud, books by Beth Moore, T.D. Jakes, et al.  I’ve yet to see anything in their book racks which is orthodox and edifying.  To retailers, even those who claim the name of Christ, money seems to be more important than defending the faith.  Sad.

How to identify false teachers.

Speaking false teachers:  NAR false prophet Shawn Bolz is going after children to brainwash them into his cultic ideology.

And speaking of the NAR, are there really apostles today and is there a need?  Absolutely NOT!  Here is a good study of the claims and a rebuttal to them.

The Assemblies of God denomination seems to be heading in a downward spiral to totally apostasy.

Testimony exposing the behavior of Clayton Jennings.   Followed by another one.  Why he should NEVER be considered for any ministry.

I’ve said many times that sports has become the American idol.

And we think some of the false teachers in OUR country do foolish, dangerous, and insane things!

Beth Moore and Hillsong join forces; two aberrant and heretical peas in a pod.

Just as Jesus told us would happen, many false christs have come.

I’m sorry, Ebony, but this woman shouldn’t have been a pastor to start with.  Judging her sin is exactly what Christians are supposed to do.

What Bill Gothard and his followers still don’t get about grace.

The Sabbath examined.  Similar to my examination.

Mennoknight has posted the last episode in his series on “Generational Curses.”

What you don’t know about the Salvation Army is that they are a weird cult preaching the social gospel at your expense.  I am looking forward to part 2.  (Note — a major part of the problem this author has with S.A. is that they aren’t Calvinists; I agree with S.A. on this point.)

Moralistic Therapeutic Deism — a major religion claiming to be Christian.
