Alerts About False Teachers and False Teachings

A review of an interview with William Lane Craig demonstrates problems with the theology of some who are acclaimed as top-notch apologists. I, personally, would never point anyone to Craig for defending the faith.

James MacDonald escapes the consequences of his actions!  The leaders of Harvest are not acting biblically. MacDonald should never again exercise any leadership roles in the church.

Another false teacher/heretic seem to be born every minute.  Kevin Zadai is a new one on me!

Another example proving the Pope does not represent Christ.  And another one: he is promoting violation of laws. Do we really need more proof that the Pope is not a Christian?

The Gospel Coalition has continued their slide into apostasy, and now they are assisting the forcing of children to not have two parents.

Black Hebrew Israelites — a dangerous, racist cult.

When women’s ministries abandon the Bible.

Russell Moore has gone beyond the pale, and has been promoting apostasy and learning from false teachers.

Todd White has proven he isn’t a Christian, but a tool of Satan.

Proof that Hillsong is an heretical organization.

Mark Driscoll is still a dangerous wolf.

Andrew Wommack — beware that he is just another vicious wolf.

Why isn’t this Catholic bishop excommunicated?  He blasphemes Christ.

Do not trust the teachings of David Barton.

A Bit of Humor

A funny way to make a very good point about “worship” music.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Good:

A good review of Francis Chan’s book, CrazyLove.  A virtually worthless book.

What if you have the wrong Jesus?

Does the O.T. law require a woman to marry her rapist?

Yoga is NOT for the Christian.

What Christians should know about intersectionality.

The apostle Paul was probably a widower.

Ten invalid arguments in defense of false teachers.

The Bad and/or Ugly

The Pope idolizes Mary — for real.  Mike Gendron’s comment: Once again the pope is attributing divine attributes to "another Mary" implying that she is omnipresent in her protection of Catholics from the devil. He robs Christ of His honor and power as the Good Shepherd who promises to protect the sheep that He gave His life to save (John 10:1-30). Tragically, many Catholics listen to the voice of the most influential false prophet in the world, "a hired hand and a thief who comes to steal and kill and destroy" (John 1010:10). Not until they hear and believe the voice of the Good Shepherd will they find eternal life and divine protection.

He idolizers her so much that he has created a new feast day to honor her.

DANGER!!  A new movie-based “Bible Study” is heading for your church.

Another movie—and book—to avoid:  A Wrinkle in Time.

Cindy Jacobs and Chuck Pierce — why does anyone listen to these crackpot heretics?!?!?

How bad does Hillsong have to be before our churches quit using their songs?!?

An example of all that is wrong with Hillsong.

Billy Graham’s funeral was by invitation only, and I think it says a lot about his organization when you learn how many false teachers and heretics were invited.

Among other problems with Billy Graham, I just learned that he was for abortion for rape!  As if the child was responsible for the crime and should be punished!  Go to the 11:35 on the video.

Two heretical, lying peas in a pod: Bill Hamon and Sid Roth.  Roth supports such fakery as a direct revelation to Kevin Zadai which says praying in tongues will enrich you!  This last one Jesus plays a soprano saxophone, and other nonsense—such as Jesus played himself out of hell on the saxophone.

Michael Brown promotes heretic Sid Roth, as well as joining him in his false teachings and Word of Faith heresy as he lies about direct revelation from God.

“Black Hebrew Israelites” —  a very ugly cult.

The humorous 

Middle-Aged Man On Worship Team Clearly Fulfilling Childhood Dream Of Being In Rock Band.  I’m guessing this isn’t far from the truth!

Good, Bad, and Ugly

The month of May was probably the busiest month I’ve had in a very, very long time.  Only a very few days were spent at home the full day.  Doctor visits, dentist appointments, vet appointment, missionary staying with us for a week, band performances, graduation parties, solo gigs, Memorial Day ceremonies, car maintenance, etc!  At least I got a chance to the mow the law, but the weeds in the gardens have taken over!

In the meantime, I try to spend SOME time catching up on the news in the world of the Church, so I’m giving you the benefit of learning from some of the stuff I’ve come across.

The Good:

Do Catholics and Protestants believe in the same Trinity?  Thought provoking.

I’m often told I’m divisive with my apologetics, that I’m “mean” and “unChristlike” when I expose false teachings for what they are.  Well, Christ wasn’t too kind with His words for false teachers!

Are the Miraculous Spiritual Gifts for Today?  NO!

A good article about proper Christian judging of sin.

Don’t let the Jehovah’s Witnesses mislead you by taking Ignatius out of context.

Fred finished part 5 of his review of Hugh Ross’ book, Navigating Genesis.

A good refutation of the teaching of “soul sleep.”

A very interesting article about why the Sabbath Day was not part of creation.  I also pointed out this fact in my article about the Sabbath.

What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit?

The Bad:

Another example of the horrendously bad teaching from Seth Barnes at Adventures in Missions:  “Jesus didn’t set the example of settling down and getting a job. So, I followed Jesus’ example and left home and friends. When asked for advice, I suggest others do the same – go on a kingdom journey and dive into a world of possibilities. Become a vagabond for Christ as you practice ministry and discover your identity.”  Really — just be a bum and don’t get a job?!?!   Talk about Scripture-twisting!

The downgrade of the evangelical church.  Very sad to see where we are headed.

How deep in the “rabbit hole” will the New Apostolic Reformation go?

The Ugly:

Charisma Magazine’s Jennifer LeClaire is as whacky un-Christian as it gets.  She even “teases out” new prophecies!!  This woman is not a woman of God.

Black Hebrew Israelites — a cult about which not too many have heard.  Racist group.

More proof that Mark Driscoll has no business being a Christian teacher, let alone a pastor.

Steven Furtick — Need I say more?

Random Aberrations, Apostasies, and Heresies

What’s next for the SBC — helping Molech worshipers build an altar?  Helping Mormons build a temple?  I can just see the Apostles suggesting that, can you?  NOT!

Bible version for “millennials” — you’ve got to be kidding!  How much more blasphemy will be tolerated?

Joyce Meyer — sigh!

One I’ve not heard of previously — at least not that I remember: Black Hebrew Israelites.

Famous Word of Faith heretic Jan Crouch had a massive stroke and will likely not recover.  It’s sad that she never knew the real Christ.

Steven Furtick — this guy is getting out of hand!

Speaking of Jan Crouch, The Babylon Bee hits the nail on the irony head!

Sid Roth and Tim Sheets nonsense will cost you $39.00.  Sadly, this video shows how easily people are deceived by false prophets with their totally unbiblical claims, blaspheming God by lying about Him. (They “cleaned cancer up off the floor”!??!)

Examining CCM lyrics (which I have often done) — this looks like it could be a very informative series!

Another Beth Moore clone, Tess Womack, also claims to receive revelations from God for her “Enlighten Hearts” ministry.  Be sure to avoid her teachings, and don’t even bother thinking about her upcoming event, “Overflow.”  You can be sure it will be a “Beth Mooreish” type narcissism event. 

“Gay Christianity” is actually another cult.  It is also “A Fatal Theological Oxymoron.”

Here is an example of all that is wrong with the Episcopal Church: a female “priest” says that LGBT people will “revitalize” Christianity.  Well, one never knows; if REAL Christians get off their duffs and fight against sexual perversion invading the Church, maybe Christianity can be “revitalized”!

Machen warned, “The growth of ignorance in the Church is the logical and inevitable result of the false notion that Christianity is a life and not also a doctrine; if Christianity is not a doctrine then of course teaching is not necessary to Christianity. But whatever may be the causes for the growth of ignorance in the Church, this evil must be remedied.” Continue reading at Does Doctrine Matter Anymore?   Some interesting discussion of Andy Stanley’s false teaching is included.

As a follow-on to Gilley’s article, here is another article about Andy Stanley’s church which certainly describes a goat pen more than a sheep pen.

Aaannndddd finally, with a new movie version of “The Shack” coming up, it is time we look again at why that book is a horrid mishmash of aberrations and heresy.
