More Odds and Ends

Lots of information on the ‘net about a so-called association of Bill Gothard with John MacArthur, but any who knows much about Gothard should know it’s a lie. A lengthy article shows where this “gossip” came from and the misrepresentations of what’s in a photo.

Examples of bad interpretations of Scripture by various Church Fathers

A great review of Debi Pearl’s new book, Created to Be His Help Meet. You can bet she twists scripture into pretzels.

While the major topic of this post is Nancy Pelosi’s violation of Catholic tenets, it really has good information about Christian doctrines which are violated by many who call themselves Christian.

“Heaven Tourism” is a dangerous fraud.

3 Reasons Why “The Chosen” Does More Harm Than Good. Beware that there is some Calvinist theology taught.

Beth Moore has gone full LEFT with calling “white” people racists. If this video doesn’t convince you that Beth Moore is a false teacher, you are in denial! By the way, she’s taught her daughter to be a horrible person.

Revoice—worshiping Satan and defending evil.

It’s difficult for me to believe Andy Stanley is really a Christian. He denies the Creation in Genesis.

Take the time to watch this video—52 minutes. You’ll learn why almost all the teachings you hear about angels is from false teacher who prove they are false Christians; what they teach is demonic.

Another MAJOR problem with Hillsong—Greed. Another example.  Scandals in the church abound.

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.

Agglomeration

I decided to do another one of these posts because I’ve had a lot of stuff which has been shared on sites I follow, and I really think the alerts should go out to everyone. So here is my newest collection of warnings.  Among these are several videos—if you have the time to watch them.

The Revoice movement is invading conservative evangelical assemblies because people really aren’t taking the spiritual danger seriously or are ignorantly accepting it. We even have David Platt’s approval.

Avoid Lifeway Bookstores; buying from them just helps support the rampant heresies they are selling.

The Toronto “revival” of the early 1990s and the move it took to Brownsville, FL (the Pensacola revival) was spiritually dangerous and heavily loaded with false teachings. I believe there was a lot of demonic activity with it, especially the very bizarre manifestations (although some are probably just people wanting attention). The first good church we found in our area in 1996 ended splitting because the pastor and too many followers of charismania were raving about and praising the one in Brownsville. I think Christians still need to be aware of what goes on in such fake revivals. I just don’t understand how intelligent people can accept and/or follow such unholy stuff. Here’s video with some investigation of Toronto.

As I have written (and said) over and over, the ELCA should be called the Evil Leftist Church in America. I can’t see how any true Christian would tolerate this stuff.

Hillsong’s Christmas program was as sleazy as usual. If there are real Christians there, why do they put up with it? 

Beth Moore went over to the Anglican Church in September 2021. I guess she wanted to be where women could be up front in the service preforming duties normally reserved for pastoral staff. Elizabeth Prata has an excellent article about the situation.

This video may be a bit long for you to watch; I watched/listened to it while doing other things. It’s about the deadly wolf Shawn Bolz.  No one should be listening to him.

Just as evil, and I think demonic, is Todd White. This video is only 10 minutes but it is a good example what a hungry wolf White is.  A more thorough, 44 minute video, really proves what a deceiver White is.

This next video is 23 minutes long, but soundly debunks the whole “Jezebel spirit” nonsense.

Another example of all that is wrong with the blasphemous, heretical and just plain nonsensical video series, “The Chosen.”

Then there’s arch heretic Paula White.

Catholic DePaul University has turned its back on God.

Steven Furtick is a narcissistic dangerous wolf.

When we lived in the Chicago area for 17 years, there was a radio program in the evening called “Shepherd’s Chapel” with Andrew Murray. I found the station when I would be waiting to pick up my daughter from work at the city library. As I listed to it I thought the guy was certifiably nuts but would keep listening to yell at it and then when my daughter rode home with me I’d show her what nonsense this guy was teaching. Christian Apologetics & Research ministry is calling them the “cult of the week”: Shepherd’s Chapel is an independent "Church" in Gravette, AR which was founded by a man named Arnold Murray, who commands a large audience primarily through tv and radio. Arnold denies the Trinity, teaches "Anglo-Israelism" (that the British are the "lost ten tribes" of Israel) and the "serpent seed" doctrine (that Satan had sex with Eve producing Cain and the evil race of "Kenites" still on the earth today). Thus, Shepherd's Chapel is a sub-Christian cult...

Cindy Jacobs (along with her husband) is false-teaching member of the New Apostolic Reformation and really, really needs to be avoided like the plague. Her “prophecies” for 2022 are nothing but money-grubbing. I don’t understand how anyone can listen to this false teacher.

Well, that’s it for now.  Now I need to get back to work on way too many jobs.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

It’s a good thing I am retired; otherwise I don’t know when I’d find time to go to work!  I think we spend more time away from home than we actually spend at home — except for perhaps sleeping!  And when I am home, the yard work is keeping me really busy.

I decided that I have too many links to articles to sit on any longer, especially since in my reading file I have a couple dozen more to look at!  As usual, let’s start with some good articles giving information, education, or edification, or all three!

The Good:

A very interesting commentary about eternal security and Saul.

Why Johnny Can’t Confess What He Believes.

A very interesting article about Seventh-day Adventism, demonstrating the cultic nature of that belief system, and how “progressives” wrangle with it.

What did Jesus mean when he said those who believe in him would do greater works?

One of the many problems of the theology of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Predators in pulpits.

Now for the Bad and/or Ugly: Fasten your seat-belts!

I wasn’t going to bring up the Willow Creek imbroglio again (I noted it in May), but I again want to point out how horrid things have gotten there; the ROOT to it all is the philosophy which was the foundation of Bill Hybels’ theology, a liberal feel-good theology which always leads to the destruction of affected assemblies.

Louie Giglio is a WOLF.  Warn people away from him.

Proof that Bill Johnson, of Beth Redding, is NOT a Christian and his “ministry” is not of Christ. This is demonic.

More on the “Revoice” conference.  Albert Mohler also chimes in with his observations.

Dennis Prager exposes the ideology behind the Pope’s recent denial of God’s law in regards to capital punishment: it isn’t Catholic or Christian.

Evangelical Hollywood Pastors Wolves

Bible Study Fellowship is going downhill.  Use discernment!

If this is what a “church” has to do to get people to attend and take part in the assembly, then they are NOT “healthy spiritually” to begin with. Just remember that what you win them with is what you win them too.

What more evidence do you need to know Rick Warren is a false teacher who has demonstrated his need to be popular.  Saddleback, being a water-down feel-good church is baptizing how many false believers who really have no clue about their faith? (I also wonder why they keep track of how many baptisms; are they looking to be praised?)ne/

Andy Stanley’s teachings keep going from bad to worse.  MARK AND AVOID HIM!

More information on the Pennsylvania pedophile priests.

More proof that Jen Hatmaker is NOT a Christian: mark and avoid her!

Jonathan Cahn and Michael Brown — two false teachers in a pod.  Cahn really, really demonstrates what a false prophet he is, and how nutty he can really get: he finds the Bible prophecies Donald Trump as President!  And Brown accepts all his false teaching and promotes it. Where is the discernment in the people who listen to this nonsense?!?!?

The humorous

Church’s statement of faith comprised entirely of U2 lyrics.  Sounds like a church I visited once.

Good, Bad, and Ugly

It’s been quite a busy time for me, giving me little time for blog work. I’ve had a few piping jobs - and today I will be playing for a funeral an hour away - as well as taking an overnight with my sweetie to celebrate the 42nd anniversary of our wedding.  And the yard work never stops calling my name!  So here are things I’ve been reading since my last “GBU” post.

The Good:

“Unconditional Love” is from the psyche field, not from the Bible.

Is Mark’s Gospel an early memoir of the Apostle Peter?  YES!

6 Things to Remember for a Successful Marriage.

Is my church a cult (or cultish)?

How did Judas die?  Biblical contradiction?  NO.

Why there is no such thing as the Gift of Tongues.

The Bad and/or Ugly

Matt Chandler continues to demonstrate his total lack of discernment as he and Francis Chan, another poorly-discerning teacher, join with the false teaching Hillsong and heretical Jesus Culture in a conference — a conference which has nothing to do with the REAL Christian faith.  Stay away from the teachings which come from these people.

It is really sad when a Jewish “biblical scholar” decides that Leviticus has been messed with and that it originally approved of homosexual behavior. Of course he has also decided that nothing in the Pentateuch is original.

This says a LOT about this so-called “Christian” conference (“Revoice”).

Robert Gagnon gives his comments on that “Christian” conference (“Revoice”).

An example of the sort of nonsense found at “Revoice.”

Oh boy, another “conference” of false prophets, false apostles, and every other sort of false teacher.  Any name you see in these advertisements are people to avoid like the plague.

Steven Furtick seems demonic to me.

Beth Moore’s theology is getting wackier by the day.  AVOID HER!

David Barton is a dangerous false teacher.  AVOID HIM!

Bethel Redding/Bill Johnson are getting more aberrant and absurd every day.  That place is a bastion of every kind of false teaching by FALSE prophets.  WARN everyone to avoid that place and their teachings as if their very lives depend upon it.

A “pastor” from a UMC mega-church claims that supporting same-sex fake marriage isn’t incompatible with Christian orthodoxy, that it isn’t heresy.  Well, when you say there is such a thing as this fake marriage, then you are saying that God approves of it, which means you are worshipping another God and not the God of the Bible — i.e., you are indeed practicing heresy!

And the Pope again disagrees with God. His excuses for violating Gen.9:6 are just asinine.  Hey Mr. Pope — assertions from you don’t trump God’s rules!

No humor for today!
