We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Kris Vallotton and the Mind of God.


The following was posted 11/8/23 on Facebook by These Aren’t the Apostles You’re Looking For.


A Facelift for False Teaching 


An appetite for false teaching is never satisfied. It always needs new items on the menu. Fresh revelation is required to keep curiosity alive in the followers. 


Kris Vallotton is a skilled craftsman in the art of making new teachings related to prophecy. His latest creation is called “Spiritual Intelligence”. Instead of leading people through the Scriptures to know what God has chosen to reveal to us, Kris is selling the idea that you can skip exegesis and enter straight into the mind of God. 


By developing new neural pathways, Kris says you can gain full access to the brain of Jesus. 


God has a different opinion on this. 


“For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?”

- Romans 11:34


“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.” 

- Isaiah 55:8


If God was speaking to Kris, He would be telling him to repent. The prophets of Scripture didn’t even presume to know the mind of God. But Kris, who can’t rightly handle God’s Word or accurately predict the next president, wants you to buy his book on accessing the mind of God. 


Dear friends, flee this kind of teaching and point people to faithful preaching of Law and Gospel. This stuff only leads to confusion, deeper deception, or disillusionment when life goes poorly. 


Give people the truth of God’s Word and they will begin to grasp that His ways are truly unsearchable. When false teaching is replaced with beautiful truth, people will come alive with a new appetite that only Christ can satisfy. And they won’t tolerate doctrines that puff themselves up but they will long to see more glory given to the Lord Jesus. 

All Glory be to Christ

He isn't totally in the wrong. We do lose our freewills and indivualities in the New Heavens and the New Earth. We become a part of God who created us.

Martha, Where in Scripture does it say such things?
