Odds and Ends to End the Year

This will be my last post of this type for quite a spell. My days are getting quit full of needful things. Be sure to follow some of the links I share to get more information about good stuff and not-so-good stuff!

The sequence to sexual immorality.

Conquest of the contemplatives.

Was Paul Against Loving, Consensual Homosexual Relationships?

Some Thoughts on Contemporary Worship [Improviso #12]  15:20 video. From an LCMS perspective but overall good thoughts about “contemporary” worship.

This isn’t a church—It’s a cult!

Just when you think the ELCA churches can’t get any worse…

Hank Hanegraaff and the Christian Research Journal are no longer reliable.  Of course I’ve reported in the past that Hank had a low view of Genesis and supported the Local Church and then he attacked Christian supporters of Israel as being “racist and supporting ethnic cleansing.” Of course when he joined the Eastern Orthodox Church an article in the CRJ condemning the E.O. as unbiblical was removed from their site. Then there was an excellent article exposing more problems with Hank.  So with his latest E.O. teachings, he needs to be placed on the shelf with solidly-false teachers and his Journal tossed in the trash.

The Gospel Coalition really needs to change its name to The Anti-Gospel Coalition.

I…just…don’t…know…what…to…say.

Bethel: how much do the “pastors” make? A bit crooked.

Did Rod Parsley really say that?!?!

Church By the Glades has sold out to psychobabble.  Not only that, but they continue to prove that there is nothing Christian about that place.

Of course other “churches” also put on entertainment spectacles in their supposed celebration of the birth of Christ.

Jesse Dupantis is a champion liar, false teacher, and blasphemer.

Kat Kerr, a self-proclaimed prophetess who claims to regularly visit Heaven, has said that God showed her what happened before Jesus came to earth. According to Kerr, Jesus and the rest of the Trinity sat around debating how to save sinners, and Jesus ultimately decided to come to earth and die on the cross, although he was hesitant to do so. How do nutty, heretical liars like this woman get a following?!?!

Good, Bad, and UGLY

So much comes across my desk that it’s difficult to keep up with it!!

First, the good

A very interesting article about the names in Jesus’ genealogy.

Good, thought-provoking article about the current state of the church. This is from an email received from a ministry I have followed for years; I had been receiving this newsletter in the mail but I recently signed up for the email version.

Another thought-provoking article explaining how Christians are responsible for the state of our politics.

Godly rainbows and ungodly replicas. Thoughts about the culture in which we must live.

The Bad

Nation of Islam: a racist, anti-Semitic cult.

New Saddleback Church pastor, Andy Wood, is a false teacher.

A perfect example of why we quit supporting the Salvation Army years ago—and we used to be bell-ringers!

Joyce Meyer, heretic extraordinaire, now has a tattoo for God.  NO, she doesn’t “belong to Jesus,” and those who follow her are non-discerning sheep.

Is There Gnosticism In Your Church?

UGLY

Another example of the false teaching by Bethel’s Kris Vallotton.  But there’s more!  He also teaches the New Age idea of spirit animals. Vallotton is a perfect example of the problems with Bethel Redding “church.”

Then there’s the lying Bethel “pastor", Sean Feucht, teaching more unbiblical nonsense.

And don’t forget just how unbiblical and nonsensical is Hillsong.

Baptism of fire? NONSENSE!

“Christian” ouija board?!?! Talk about an oxymoron! It’s satanic.

If you think you can ‘bind satan’, think again.

Kat Kerr is more bizarre as days go by!

More evidence proving that the United Church of Christ has nothing to do with Christ. This particular assembly brags about a congregation of “over 50% LGBTQ.”

Beating a dead horse, maybe, but I can’t warn enough about The Chosen and how bad it is. And don’t forget they will give you a free trial of an “app” that lets you pray with cast members!

NOW, how about a humorous way to teach the Gospel to end this post!

A Wild Agglomeration

Here we go again, folks. A few articles about discernment then a whole bunch exposing false teachings/teachers. Hold on to your hats!

A good article about discernment.

Culture Transforming the Church. Something to think about and be aware of.

4 Verses False Teachers Take Out Of Context.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is as anti-Bible, anti-Christ, anti-God as it gets. The whole psych field is the antithesis of Christianity.

Chris Tomlin. Don’t help finance him by purchasing his materials. By helping Tomlin you are helping to spread heresy.

I often wonder is Beth Moore is a false Christian.

How false teachers twist Scripture to justify beliefs.

Another wolf to be aware of—Sean Feucht.

OH, the blasphemy of “The Chosen.”

Hillsong proves it is more about the world than about the Lord.

Not to be outdone by Hillsong, Bethel’s “pastors” are more and more ridiculous and blasphemous in their claims.

Another “pastor” playing a false, lying, worldly game. Disgusting racism pretending to be virtue as he feeds LEFTIST propaganda in the name of Jesus—BLASPHEMY!

This is a perverted satanist who is part of The Gospel Coalition. TGC doesn’t even know the Gospel.

Kat Kerr proves again what a wicked false prophet she is.

A Brief Roundup of Pastors and Pastrixes Headed to Hell #7. And here’s another one going to hell.

The Episcopal Church long ago became apostate and heretical. Another example of how bad they are is this blasphemy.

Joel Osteen— what can I say to this?!? Neither he nor his wife are true Christians.

Last, but not least, Rick Warren is a horrid false teacher. I don’t have time to watch the 3 hr video (and I’d guess most of my readers don’t either) but the list of issues with Warren is all the proof you need against him.

Apologetics Miscellany

Life has kept me very occupied outside of home so researching things, writing articles or even collection links for sharing has become difficult to accomplish. I’ve gotten so little accomplished around home this summer that I’m not looking forward to fall since I really need to get some work done in the garden! This is all to say that this post has a fairly large collection of stories to visit, so let’s get started.

Here’s a very interesting article about today’s political culture vs God.

Cessationism vs. Continuationism

Does the Bible Mandate Nice Language When Condemning Evil?

Michael Jennings claims to be a pastor, yet he’s suing a city for hurting his feelings. Rather than cooperate with police when asked for an ID, he whined that he wasn’t doing anything wrong and refused to show ID. The problem was that he was in someone else’s yard and the police were trying to verify his story about being a neighbor. Of course to him, a black man, they must be racists. Well, I looked to see what his church was and discovered it is another one of those apostate places associated with the LEFTIST Episcopal Church. No wonder he didn’t behave as a Christian pastor!!!!

This is what the seeker-sensitive/market-driven “church” has devolved into.

National Baptist Convention must be full of apostates.

Nate Collins and the “Revoice” conference are thumbing their noses at God’s design for human sexuality.

Scott Sauls and Tim Keller—two peas in a pod?

More bad teachings by Tim Keller.

The Shifting Sands of Watchtower Salvation.

How Matt Chandler’s Elders Violated Scripture.

Ever since “Purpose Driven” nonsense first came out I have been warning people to stay away from anything by Rick Warren. Well, “the proof is in the pudding.”  He’s rancid with his teachings.

Miranda Nelson—SIGH! I find it difficult to understand how people can allow themselves to be suckered into such blasphemous nonsense.

If you need more proof that the United Methodist Church is apostate….

Kat Kerr is about as nutty as it gets. She’s a great pawn of Satan’s but she’s no prophet. How can people seriously follow her!?!

A cult I was unfamiliar with: The Christian Family Fellowship. There are too many of these groups to keep up with!

More on the fraudulent Jesus of The Chosen.

The spiritually dangerous teachings of Andrew Wommack.

What An Agglomeration!

Let’s start with an easy one: 10 Best Christian Discernment Blogs and Websites. I don’t know what the criteria is and I certainly think there are some better sites, but they’ve got me at #5. 

Who Do You Say Jesus Is? Excellent, concise examination of the Jesus of the cults.

Is Having a “Private Prayer Language” Biblical?

Examining the “Jesus is my boyfriend” movement.

An example of the horrid invasion of the church by Satan as he legitimizes what God calls an abomination. If you can stomach it, here is another example.

I doubt if there are any real Christians left in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.

A Canadian “church” calling itself “Lutheran” is as bad as the ELCA with its invasion of evil. Neither are churches of Christ, rather they are dens of iniquity serving Satan.

A word about the “gay Christianity” movement.

This video is an hour long. If you have the time, it’s a great exposure of false prophet Bob Jones of IHOP.

Patricia King proves she’s a rank heretic (just under four minutes). Why do people listen to her? Of course Michael Brown supports her. The outrageous blasphemy of Patricia King and others in the charismatic movement is perfectly displayed in this video.

More proof that Paula White is a false Christian, let alone false teacher.

Kat Kerr—how in the world can people really believe her nonsense?!?! She is a pawn of Satan.

Some real charismaniacs here. Mostly women, and the keyboard just keeps making the same tones--no music-- over and over. A bunch of emotional nonsense with no honoring of God.

Oh, how often I have said that Timothy Keller is a false teacher. Has he had some good teachings? Yes, but on the whole his bad more than outweighs his good. Here is another example of where he goes wrong. Oh, and he seems to be teaching evolutionism with some really weird and unbiblical ideas. I wish I had the time to do an in-depth exposure of how much of a wolf is Keller.

What about Matt Chandler and his “Acts 29 churches”? Chandler continues to prove his unworthiness to be a pastor.

Beth Moore’s daughter Melissa is even worse than her mother!!!!

Women clergy have been at the vanguard of pushing Christianity and Judaism to the left, leaving mainstream churches and synagogues increasingly empty. Of course, the increasingly feminized male clergy go along with their female colleagues.

Another Thought-Provoking Agglomeration

This article is not about apologetics regarding false teachers but it is about apologetics in regards to human sexuality and God’s reason and meaning for it. This should be heeded by our culture.

Along with this teaching, we see that American Churches are Killing Christianity.

Of course, the next two items shows what happens when “Christian” organizations ignore God’s teaching on sexuality:

When a “Divinity” School proves it is not associated with the God of the Bible by claiming that God approves of sexual deviancy and perversion.

Wheaton College, which is supposedly a Christian institution, first went wrong by having a “School of Psychology Counseling and Family Therapy.” Psychology, after all, is totally unbiblical nonsense, as well as not being founded on anything bordering on science. Along with this “school” they have a subdivision titled “Sexual and Gender Identity Institute Research” which, I’m sure you can guess what this leads to. Nothing like bowing to the culture.

“Wokism” is the new religion of our culture. Those who are “woke” really need to hear the Gospel.

The Children of Men: Understanding the Human Origins of Heresy.

Let’s look at some false teachers and learn how discernment is necessary to avoid their traps.

Emma Stark is a false prophet in the New Apostolic Reformation.

Kat Kerr is about as bizarre as these false prophets come.

Here we have a “pastor” with false teachings about dreams while abusing the story of Joseph. Pay attention to how he twists the Bible to tell his lies.

Pope Francis is again preaching un-Christian clap-trap: he is essentially saying that we are all racists.

Francis Chan should be avoided, period.

Bethel Church continues to prove they are a cult with such ridiculous prophets as the one who claims Jesus came into her bedroom with a ring and asked her to marry him!

Bethel also has some outrageous claims with their false teachings on healing.

Christianity Today Astray has long employed false teachers in their editorial staff. Now they are trying to fit evolutionism with the Bible.

Lastly, how about we learn Unwinding False Teaching?

Agglomeration

Well, ladies and gents, it time for another trip through interesting articles and some that will get you really shaking your heads. The first two articles linked to are to get you thinking while the rest are to continue warning my readers about the horrible false teaching wolves who prey of the naive and gullible. So let’s get started.

The End of Comfortable Christianity?

How Difficult was the Book of Revelation’s Journey into the Canon?

I can never understand how anyone can accept the nonsense spewed by Kenneth Copeland! The man is a pawn of Satan.

Steven Furtick — one of the most vicious wolves out there.  He even claims to be God.

This “professor of theology” is a 100% racist

Disgusting: this man is no pastor.

Beth Moore abuses Scripture to become part of the COVID cult.

Kris Vallotton is one vicious wolf.

Hillsong continues its dance with Papism.

Rick Warren gets worse as time goes by.

Todd White — how can anyone calling themselves a Christian take this guy seriously? He looks and acts like a tool of Satan.

Jesse Duplantis is an evil deceiver enriching himself off gullible people.

Bethel continues to have some of the most bizarre teachings. This “pastor” also says that God doesn’t know the future.

Here’s a false prophet I've noted once before— Kat Kerr. I will never understand why anyone would follow weirdos like this. Then there is NAR “prophet” George Karl who claims Jesus told him they are “always drunk in heaven.”

The state of the Church today. This is what happens when Hillsong, Bethel, Elevation Church, and their ilk not only breed their own false Christians but spread their evil into gullible assemblies who accept their horrendous music into their congregations. This cited 60% cannot be true believers in the atonement of Christ - the are false brethren.
