A Wild Agglomeration

Here we go again, folks. A few articles about discernment then a whole bunch exposing false teachings/teachers. Hold on to your hats!

A good article about discernment.

Culture Transforming the Church. Something to think about and be aware of.

4 Verses False Teachers Take Out Of Context.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is as anti-Bible, anti-Christ, anti-God as it gets. The whole psych field is the antithesis of Christianity.

Chris Tomlin. Don’t help finance him by purchasing his materials. By helping Tomlin you are helping to spread heresy.

I often wonder is Beth Moore is a false Christian.

How false teachers twist Scripture to justify beliefs.

Another wolf to be aware of—Sean Feucht.

OH, the blasphemy of “The Chosen.”

Hillsong proves it is more about the world than about the Lord.

Not to be outdone by Hillsong, Bethel’s “pastors” are more and more ridiculous and blasphemous in their claims.

Another “pastor” playing a false, lying, worldly game. Disgusting racism pretending to be virtue as he feeds LEFTIST propaganda in the name of Jesus—BLASPHEMY!

This is a perverted satanist who is part of The Gospel Coalition. TGC doesn’t even know the Gospel.

Kat Kerr proves again what a wicked false prophet she is.

A Brief Roundup of Pastors and Pastrixes Headed to Hell #7. And here’s another one going to hell.

The Episcopal Church long ago became apostate and heretical. Another example of how bad they are is this blasphemy.

Joel Osteen— what can I say to this?!? Neither he nor his wife are true Christians.

Last, but not least, Rick Warren is a horrid false teacher. I don’t have time to watch the 3 hr video (and I’d guess most of my readers don’t either) but the list of issues with Warren is all the proof you need against him.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Good:

Some interesting history of the Lutheran Church’s changes from Roman Catholicism.

Why do people interpret the Bible differently?

Sincerity does not equal fidelity.

God’s blessing is not for sale, and tithing is not for the Christian.

Most Charismatics are Closet Cessationists

When was Jesus born?  Four years ago I did my own post about the possibilities.

The Bad:

All that is wrong about Russell Moore.  Why is he not yet booted out of the Southern Baptist Convention?

You just have to love those Methodists; they’ve been permitted all sorts of unbiblical, heretical acts (women in the pulpit, homosexuals in the pulpit, homosexuality supported, social gospel, sanctioning of abortion, etc) yet unless the full denomination permits the “marriage” of two members of the same sex, then this assembly won’t perform real marriages.

An example of why you should avoid Paula White.

Another reason to dislike Chris Tomlin’s music.

The Anglican Church should quit calling itself “Christian.”  Especially when you have this sort of leadership!

The Ugly:

More about the false “Passion Translation” of the Bible.  Seriously, run from this translation.

Proof that Todd White and Kenneth Copeland are NOT Christians, but they are minions of Satan.

Perry Noble and the guy defending him are both blaspheming the name of God. Noble is really a dangerous wolf, and horribly arrogant as well.

Christians Mingle Inspector.

Some Good Stuff — No Bad or Ugly

We’ve been doing a lot of traveling this past week or so, with band practice, visiting friends, and a 600-mile round trip to an aviation museum.  And we have a parade tomorrow.

I’ve been getting rid of more books, as some of you know by being the first claimants.  When you see a post for a book giveaway, be sure to look at the comments section where I respond to comments not posted — that’s how I communicate with the recipient if they don’t email me.  With this past one I wasn’t able to take it down for over 24 hrs due to the trip, but I had already posted a comment to the “winner” and another comment to the second in line letting them know they missed it, yet many hours later someone requested the book.  So be sure to look at the comments first.  Of course there may be a few requests in my inbox which I haven’t gotten to because I’m away from home, so then the post will be still up without comments.  Just have patience.  And be watching — I have five more already selected but since I won’t be able to respond and/or mail for a couple days, I’ll wait for posting.

Okay, let’s look at the good stuff I’ve been reading:

What’s Natural for You

Fake news about early Christianity.

The compromised church and spiritual blindness.

About that “slain in the spirit” nonsense.

Protecting your assembly from false teaching.

An evaluation of Muslim dreams and visions of Isa (Jesus):  Part 1 and Part 2

How did the canon of Scripture come to be?

Chris Tomlin — we don’t need your new choruses for old hymns.  I’ve pointed this out many times.

Thus Saith Rome — an excellent article about Roman Catholicism.  From a 2007 Midwest Christian Outreach Journal now available on the ‘net.

Sex should be spiritual

And finally, a great quote!

A worship leader serves his congregation best when he chooses songs they can sing and sing well. He is highly attuned to their ability. He prioritizes the singability of songs over their newness or oldness or author or theological density. He gauges his success not by his own worship, but by theirs. His question is not “how did the band feel?” but “how did the congregation sing?” When he steps back and hears his church singing—really singing—, his joy is complete.  Tim Challies

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

It’s been a very busy week for me, being away from home a whole lot (today as an example, we were gone from 9:20 AM to 6:40 PM) and when home doing my best to catch up inside and outside.  So I haven’t had much time to work on blog projects!  But I’ve been collecting links to news articles I have come across, and article which are exposing more and more of Satan’s invasion in the Church.  With that introduction, here we goooooooo…….

If you liked my article about Bill Johnson and Bethel Redding, you’ll like this “cornucopia” about him.

A Bethel Redding song won the GMA awards (and now I know where the above meme came from), which demonstrates how poor the CCM industry has gotten (and it goes on for over 8 minutes!!!).   Now tell me, do you really think what you saw here is a service worshiping God or self?

I followed  link in the above article to this article about Chris Tomlin songs — yes, I get tired of seeing his songs, and fully agree they are performance songs vs corporate worship songs!

Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry has posted some excellent articles examining the Amish religion.  The overall assessment I have about the Amish is that they are very legalistic, and with their legalism they can be quite arbitrary.

Introduction to the Amish

Amish groups and divisions

The Amish and Salvation

The Amish and separation from the world

I have some books about the Amish on my shelf, and highly recommend them for anyone interested in more information about the Amish:

20 Most Asked Questions About the Amish and Mennonites, by Merle and Phyllis Good

A History of the Amish, by Steven M. Nolt

Crossing Over, by Ruth Irene Garrett with Rick Farrant

Growing Up Amish, by Ira Wagler 

True Stories of the Amish, edited by Ottie A. Garrett

Why Do They Dress That Way? by Stephen Scott

Why Jim Cymbala can’t be trusted.

So if you don’t like Hillsong, you hate God? I’d think it would be the other way around — if you LIKE Hillsong you hate God.  Hillsong teaches heresy and aberrations of all sorts!

I don’t normally get into politics on this blog because the topic is apologetics.  However, I think sometimes we also need to think apologetically with political decisions so as to be as biblically-minded as possible.  I think Wayne Grudem has an excellent article explaining what I consider the proper voting position this time. (Also, to be Christian would mean NEVER voting for Democrats because of their party platform of anti-God/anti-Christian stance, pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality, pro-same-sex fake marriage, pro sexual immorality of every sort, pro “transgender,” pro-theft from workers to give to non-workers, and essentially for everything that God is against!)

Another false “church” embarrassing real Christianity.  And they think God accepts their “worship.”  It seems to me that they worship themselves.

Another installment by Mennoknight examining the “generational curses” teachings.

Michael Brown is an excellent conservative commentator, but when it comes to theology, he is out in left field — demonstrated by his support for Bill Johnson!

It’s time for me to shut this machine down for the night!
