Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Good:

11 Jehovah’s Witnesses’ beliefs you should know.

Josephus and John the Baptist — is Josephus correct or are the Gospels?

Is “Holy Fire” really something we want?

The Bad:

Beth Moore just keeps getting worse.

Andy Stanley — again.

More horrid stuff from Bethel Redding’s Kris Vallotton.

The false gospel of felt-needs.

Carl Lentz and Justin Bieber — their actions briefly examined, but really well done.

A little bit more about the two men.

More proof that Steve Chalke is a dangerous false teacher.

Football — America’s leading false god.

How much more evidence do you need to accept the fact that Joyce Meyer is a rank heretic?

Dallas Willard, John Ortberg, Richard Foster – Are We Wrong in Calling Them Emergent/Contemplative?

The Ugly

Perry Noble, Chris Hill, and T.D. Jakes.  An 11-minute video exposing these horrid “pastors.”

Jennifer LeClaire keeps getting worse and worse.  She is a good reason (among many) to never read Charisma Magazine.

Jen Hatmaker — sigh.

Crooked Televangelists never die, they just descend further down the rabbit hole of Deceit

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

A good one from The Babylon Bee about Joel Osteen!

A good examination of another well-abused Bible passage: Philippians 4:13.

Were tongues real languages?  Absolutely!

What about praying in “tongues”?  As I have previously noted, modern “tongues” is nothing more than gibberish.

Anne Graham Lotz is going farther and farther afield.  Beware of her teachings!

Beth Moore and Christine Caine together — two false teaching peas in a pod.

When Christians join in supporting the destruction of patriarchy in the family, then it is no wonder that the family unit is falling apart.

Continuationism is not a non-essential doctrinal issue.  Thought-provoking article.

Run for your life from false teachers!  H/T Lindsay.

The “Seven Mountains Mandate” of the NAR.  These people have no idea of what Christianity is about!

“Cruise with a Cause” — something I never heard of before.  Just another scam with some of the “usual suspects” among false teachers.  These guys will do anything to promote themselves.

False prophet/teacher Paula White is at it again!  Look at what she promised for Easter — more money for herself.  Yeah, sure God told her this.

Postmodernism has really affected the Church at large, and is part of the reason the Church is compromising with the world.  Gary Gilley has an excellent 5-part series on this topic.  Part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5.

Contrary to the claims of the charismatics and cultists, “Sola Scriptura” was not newly invented with the reformation.  Just remember the Bereans, who made sure what Paul was teaching was in accordance with Scripture!

For all those out there idolizing “Prince” and mourning his death, we should really mourn because he was unsaved.

A Critique of David Stewart's "Healing Oils of the Bible.”

“Christian” adult coloring books?  I guess I just don’t understand the draw to start with, but why delve into “new age” ideology?

But, hey, Justin Bieber is into coloring now — doesn’t this make you see him as a great pastor for his new church?  Um, no.

The Watchman Fellowship has a good profile on Rob Bell.

Another good one from The Babylon Bee to end with.

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

THIS POST IS ACTUALLY DATED OCTOBER 8, 2015, BUT AN ERROR IN THE DRAFT THE NIGHT BEFORE KEPT THAT DATE WHEN POSTING.

Narcissism in the world—AND the Church.

Witnessing to Jehovah’s Witnesses

More verses examined in the series of abused Bible verses:

Revelation 3:20.

3 John 2

Examining “binding and loosing” — not what charismatics claim.

Justin Bieber claims to be a Christian, so the news reports, but what about his fruit?  And is he a legitimate spokesman for Jesus?  Considering he spends time at Hillsong, New York, and calls goatherd Carl Lenz a mentor, that should say something about Bieber’s theology.

A bonafide heretic claims people like me—gun owners—are heretics.  Simply bizarre.

Oh my!  A conference for Dominionists to save the world and bring back Christ!  A virtual who’s who of false teachers.

How the “church” of Sweden can still call themselves “Christian” is beyond my comprehension.

What is David Jeremiah doing here?!?!

False teacher Paula White declares speaking against Donald Trump will bring condemnation from God!

Elizabeth Prata examines some Beth Moore claims from her new book, “Audacious.”

As my regular readers know, I’ve written much about “worship music” in church and how problematic it can be.  This article pretty much sums up some of the problems I’ve raised.

I like his “six bugbears” of “contemporary worship music.”
