Unbiblical Prayer

 

More Thought-Provoking Odds and Ends

Be prepared to defend Genesis, even from those who promote the “gap” theory.

LEFTISTS have a lot of WRONG teachings about Jesus, teachings that are just to support their worldview. You should know how to dispute this nonsense.  First, did Jesus advocate wealth redistribution?  Second, was Jesus a political rebel?  Was Jesus a universalist?

Rick Warren: dangerous false teacher.

When you compromise Genesis, you can decide homosexuality is okay.

More problems with The Gospel Coalition.

The greed fostered by this “church” is unreal; it makes God into a puppet who can be controlled by how much money you donate!. To begin with, Christians do not tithe!!! That was an O.T. rule for Israel only, and it wasn’t just on income. Churches who use the word “tithe” instead of “gifts” or “offerings” (e.g.) are helping to foster this nonsense. 

And Satan laughs.

I've Been Told I Have a "Religious Spirit"

Posted on Facebook by Famine in the Land:

If you've been accused of having a "religious spirit" it probably means you're like the Bereans (Acts 17:11) - that's a compliment. This accusation is commonly used to justify an unbiblical teaching, new revelation, demonic or manufactured manifestation (gold dust, glory cloud, angel feathers, etc), or some mystical encounter with God or an angel. You will be accused of “having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power” (2 Tim 3:5). Conveniently, they will ignore the rest of the passage: “while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Tim 3:13-17).

Most of these accusers have been deceived by imposters - modern day "apostles" and "prophets" who masquerade as servants of God but are actually servants of Satan (2 Cor 11:13-14).

It's the accusers who have a "spirit" that's false:

"For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough." (2 Corinthians 11:4).

Heresy In the News

 

A Grave Error By Reformers

The gravest error of the reformers Luther and Calvin was that they did not go back far enough toward the source of truth. Even though Luther popularized, and Calvin affirmed, the term “Sola Scripture,” both men relied heavily on Augustine, whose false teachings stemmed from multiple factors, including reliance on very poor Latin translations of the Bible. His personal foibles in regards to sexuality led him to regard even sex as God intended—that is, exclusive and faithful relations between husband and wife—to somehow be sinful (much as a recovered [drunk] who becomes a militant prohibitionist, and refuses to see that full prohibition of alcohol is not a Biblical doctrine). And his personal hatred and loathing toward Pelagius that led him to import many aspects of his old Manichean religion into Christianity, and make up a “heresy” out of whole cloth and falsely attach the name of Pelagius to it.

To be truly free of Romanism and pursue Christianity, one must also reject any extra-biblical source as a basis for doctrine, building theology on the Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible, rather than relying on the shaky and often contradictory positions of so-called “Church fathers.”
