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

And Yet Another Agglomeration


Three Key Principles of Biblical Interpretation.


What should be the Christian view of slavery? Why did God condone slavery? Early Christian Views of Slavery.


Biblical Sexuality: What the Church Gets Wrong & What the Bible Actually Says


Are massive “revivals” actually happening at the universities?


Jesse has three good examinations of Roman Catholic teachings: A Critical Evaluation Of Teresa Of Avila’s Nine Levels Of Prayer and When Worship Walks: The Prophets' Critique Of Eucharistic Idolatry and God's Transcendence In Communion: A Symbolic View.


A HUGE problem with Catholic leadership: Cardinal Dolan Hails ‘Our Islamic Brothers and Sisters,’ Calls Ash Wednesday ‘Our Ramadan. Islam is the region of the devil and is evil. Islam seeks to kill all Christians, let alone Jews. They recently beheaded 70 in Congo.

Amazon has a new TV series: House of David. Another unbiblical series, of course. Don’t waste your time. Review of episode 2.


Paula White preaches nothing but lies. AVOID this wolf! And yet our President has her for a “spiritual advisor.”


Daystar + Culty Kathryn Krick = A Dangerous MESS!!  A bit more about Kathryn.


Has the PCA disciplined the Session participants? For Black only event?!?  And what about their missions helping illegals deceive law enforcement? For print coverage, go here.


Atlanta Pastor Calls Blacks Who Support Trump “Coons” and “Runaway Slaves”. The man is NOT a pastor and with his ideology I’m not sure he’s a Christian.


PCUSA is more evil with attitudes towards sex than just promoting homosexuality and transgenderism—at their youth camp boys claiming to be girls can sleep and shower with girls.

Odds and Ends, Good and Bad

The Brothers That Wrote a Sixth of the Psalms.


The Rise of Christological Heresy. Good explanations of some well-known historical heretical ideas about Christ.


No True Christian … Part One. Make sure to allow the Scriptures to say what a Christian is.  No True Christian … Part Two. Use proper hermeneutics to determine what Christ taught.


No, Mark didn’t invent the “sea” of Galilee. An excellent study to rebut those claim this.


Shrimp and Homosexuality—is God’s view of both the same?


Silly Putty Bible Study.


Has The Church Always Had An Ordained Priesthood?


More LEFTIST myths about Jesus. Was he tolerant of wrong-doing or evil? Was he a political centrist?


Spiritual abuse and Sovereign Grace Ministries led to a very sad situation for a deceived woman. 


When Christians Tolerate Anything and Everybody, You Cannot Guard the Flock Against the Wolves

These priests should be defrocked.


What’s wrong with Jesus Calling?


Cindy Jacobs, Another false prophet exposed.


"Christian Psychics" Shawn Bolz and Chris Reed are heretics deceiving people. This 34-minute demonstrates how these guys and their ilk do their “parlor tricks.”


Max Lucado waters down sin to just a “shortcut.”


Church by the Glades is a church of Satan.


More information about why you shouldn’t waste your time watching the fraudulent show, The Chosen. This 53 minute video is very informative.


Lastly, I also have questions!

Agglomeration

A warning about Bible verses.  One of my pet peeves is when Christians take verses out of context to apply to themselves.


Christianity’s “Trip” to the East


Chastity is the Key to Happiness.


What’s with the story of Elisha and the bears?


Comparison between the four main views of the millennium in eschatology. I fall into the “Historic Premillennialism” except I don’t believe in a “partial return” of Jesus prior to the 7-year tribulation, nor do I agree that the Church replaced Israel.


Not all missionaries go overseas.


Now for things needing discernment along with avoidance!


Another video examining The Chosen, which is a must-see.


Nowhere in the Bible do we find that Christians should tithe their money. For Christians we have one passage that speaks of giving money, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7: He who sows sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall also reap bountifully. Let each one do just as he has purposed in his heart; not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. (NAS) It is wicked and greedy “pastors” who demand tithing, and even more wicked to make it a guarantee of prosperity.


How dare this man use frank language when teaching about sexual immorality at a “Christian” college! Demanding sexual morality has become labeled as “hate.”


The “IF” gathering—a conference of apostates, heretics and sexual deviants, as well as those who support them. The sort of conference I’d expect to be found in Sodom and Gomorrah.


This “Catholic School District” certainly isn’t Christian.


Why hasn’t this evil bishop been excommunicated from the Catholic Church?


What is it with Catholics who are tyrants supporting wrong-thinking and being hypocritical at the same time?


DO NOT PARTNER WITH THE GOVERNMENT!!!


Proof that the majority of TV preachers (certainly not “pastors”) are greedy false teachers who are just using their position to enrich themselves.


False Teacher Andy Stanley really needs to be removed from teaching.


False prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation.


The 7-Mountain Mandate lies of the NAR.


Don’t forget Bethel’s den of apostasy and heresy.

Agglomeration

This will be my last “Agglomeration” (or “Good, Bad and Ugly”) for at least quite a while, but maybe even forever.  I will instead maybe post whole articles from the places I now link to. I’m trying to cut down my time on the computer and have dropped many of the sites I have been following for a long time from which I’ve gotten a lot of my news.

That being said, I will still always be available for responding to questions or requests for help in regards to false teachers and teachings.

With that said, here we go with today’s installment!

The Good - For Education and/or Edification


Grounds for Divorce: Why I Now Believe There Are More Than Two. I’ve always said that adultery (any form including porn habits), abandonment, and abuse are valid reasons for divorce. The abuse can take many forms, as the article notes.


The Enneagram Part 2. Part 1 was linked to on May 12th.

This one is for education: the pagans are really bizarre.

HMMMM

Interesting quotation from the book True Stories of the Amish, as told to O.A. Garrett:
The Amish culture does not encourage physical affection amongst its members. This added to the distant feelings Dan had towards his father. Never did he see his parents kiss each other or anyone else, nor did any family member express verbally any feelings of love. The only emotions the Amish show in public are sadness and misery because the Amish believe that the more sadness and misery one has on earth, the more happiness one will have in heaven.(pg.13)

Chick-fil-A’s  CEO Dan Cathy has twisted Christianity to submit to the racist Black Lives Matter agenda as he says Christians should repent of sins we never committed and even shine the shoes of blacks to show our “shame” for racism. Here’s a wee bit more on the topic.  Chick-fil-A has been making donations to LEFTIST organizations and now this. I will never again eat at Chick-fil-A.  When you profess that your organization is Christian and stands for Christian values and yet donate to LEFTIST causes and succumb BLM racism against “whites” then you are “false advertising.”

More Wolves and False Teachings

Jen Hatmaker — she should be a hat maker instead of playing at being a Christian.

What is with Roman Catholics — aren’t they supposed to represent Christ!?!?

And the Pope wants Catholics to be supportive of Black Live Matter, which is a socialist, racist, anarchist movement. The papacy has always been filled with men who want to take over the world for socialism.  And bishops are funding radical groups!!!

Louie Giglio shows again why he is not qualified to be a pastor.

Some good information exposing false teacher Michael Brown.

Another perfect example as to why Carl Lentz is unqualified to be a pastor.

Joel Osteen marches with Black Lives Matter and Antifa thugs. Totally unqualified for any Christian leadership. He panders to the false narrative.

Oh the irony of an arrogant, narcissistic Beth Moore, a Scripture twisting false teacher. Just what was she thinking here?

Bethel continues to prove that they are not Christian as they pander to race-bating Black Lives Matter. Prayers in “tongues” are narcissistic prayers to self. The whole fake spirituality of charismania was on show.

Agglomeration

This will be my last post of this nature for a while. I am getting inundated with life and I still have to catch up with articles being readied for The Anti-Mormon Blog so I can cut back from that for a while also.

For those who are interested in some of my daily feeds for apologetics information, here’s a short list (you can also just look at sources in the links in my articles).

The Geller Report. Sign up for the daily email.
Marshal Art’s (he has a lot of political stuff also)
Winging It. (Very Calvinist position)
Reformation Charlotte. Can sometimes get too picky.
Rational Christian Discernment (includes lots of focus exposing Roman Catholicism)
Midwest Christian Outreach. I suggest signing up for the weekly e-mail.
Townhall.  Political and culture focus.
American Thinker. Runs the gamut of politics, culture, religion.

The Good - For Education and/or Edification
Christians need to get sexually explicit!




HMMMM
The Apostle Paul Apologizes For Insensitive Remarks On Sexuality. Well, no he didn’t, but apostates are stumbling all over themselves for saying what Paul DID say.

When your church worships the world. And another one. Yet another one

More Wolves and False Teachings
Paula White is getting worse by the day. Those who support her teachings just to be in the limelight should be ashamed of themselves. Of course you have to remember that she committed adultery with arch-heretic Benny Hinn.

How about instead of pandering to biology-deniers we confront them with their sin!


No, Bethel, this is NOT from the Holy Spirit, rather it is from sinful self or perhaps even demonic.

I have previously noted problems with singer Lauren Daigle, but this article really opens up the issue.

Randy Clark’s “Global Awakening” to the demonic.

The blasphemy of Joyce Meyer.

Some Recommended Good Reading

Who was St. Patrick, and should Christians celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?  Patrick was a “proto-protestant,” and not a Catholic.  I used to wear an orange shirt to work on St. Patty’s Day, with a British Union Jack on the pocket!

The cost of leaving cults and false teachings.

Regular readers (and new ones) have perhaps noticed that I don’t normally address the creation/evolution debate except from a biblical point of view, using proper hermeneutical principals. I also will expose as false teachers those who espouse progressive creation, theistic evolutionism, or any other old earth creation nonsense. Once in a great while I will slip and make note of scientific fallacy, but that is rare. For those looking for good scientific arguments there is Answers In Genesis, the Institute for Creation Research, and many other ministries with solid scientists who are young earth creationists. I will also point you to a site by a fellow blogger who DOES like to spend time with examining the scientific evidence for young earth creationism and against evolutionism, and here’s an example of the latter. Jesse also has excellent articles exposing the errors of Roman Catholicism, as well as other general apologetics issues; you may enjoy visiting his blog. 

An examination of the Jehovah’s Witness idea of Jesus’ resurrection — bizarre.

Some good responses to atheists’ “proof” that God cannot exist.

It Was Not So From the Beginning. Same-sex attraction is sin.


How to demonstrate to Jehovah’s Witnesses that Jesus died on a cross, not a stake.

Using proper hermeneutics with Seventh-day Adventists.
