“Christian” politicians who use Christianity to their advantage

Posted on by Don

Like so many Liberals they claim a relationship with Jesus but do not do what He says. If a person cannot discern abominations like Abortion and homosexual practices and understand what harm these abominations bring to society it is because He or She has no biblical understanding.Those who have no understanding of what God said in the scriptures are either immature Christians or liars using Christianity for their advantage. No one in any of those categories should be leaders in the Church or leaders of a Nation that fears God.

Obama might say the right words when he stands before naive Christians but his stands are contrary to what He claims to believe.… continue reading

Pastor Joel Osteen speaks out on Mormonism

Posted on by Don

Here is a clear reason why you do not put novices in charge of mega churches just because their daddy was a big time preacher. Joel Osteen knows nothing about Mormonism or even Christianity and he even admits it below. Yet, he tells the world that he thinks Mormon’s are Christians because they say they believe in Christ. Never mind that their Christ is not the Savior we know in the Bible. It is like taking two milk bottles labeled Jesus and thinking because they are labeled the same that they both contain milk. Yet one milk bottle is filled with sweet milk that leads to life and the other contains a deadly poison that leads to death.… continue reading

Are Those That Oppose The Purpose Driven Agenda Leaders From Hell?

Posted on by Don

The purpose driven leaders are teaching pastors to demonize Christian leaders that are against their purpose driven program. All that is documented in the link below.

Are Those That Oppose The Purpose Driven Agenda Leaders From Hell? : “Think carefully about what is being said in that statement. Southerland is encouraging pastors to think of those who may be their brother or sister in Christ as actually ‘leaders from hell!’ Why? Because they question the validity of a
church growth program which lacks Scriptural basis to support it. Talk about
demonizing your opposition because you don’t have a solid argument with which to respond to them except ‘Everybody’s doing Purpose Driven’ or ‘it gets results.’

Something is drifting down Willow Creek

Posted on by Don

Willow Creek tells us there is a big paradigm shift coming but we can’t be certain of what that paradigm shift is all about until they come out with it. However, by looking at the guests that speak at Willow Creek I am not encouraged that they will now suddenly emerge with great biblical discernment. This link will give you some background information.

Rick Warren’s distortions of reality

Posted on by Don

I have noticed over the years that Rick Warren just panders to the audience. What he says to Christians on a issue will not necessarily be be what he says to the media or the world power brokers on the same issue. His message is typically post-modern where truth is relative and adjustable to those being pandered to for his own end.

This is why he is signing on to wordily agendas and then apologizing or having to rationalize to other Christians why he jumped on board. Then to appease them he says he did not agree with much of what he signed???… continue reading

Accommodation or Confrontation with the world system?

Posted on by Don

Dr Francis Schaeffer in 1984 said, “The grossest form of worldliness is conforming to the form of worldliness that exists in it’s own generation”. That is exactly what is happening today in much of Christianity.

Accommodation or Confrontation – CWN: ” recently watched a video presentation of Dr. Francis Schaeffer’s last public meeting before he died in 1984. I was stunned, again, by the precision of his insights into his era, and ours. Dr. Schaeffer’s last two books, The Great Evangelical Disaster and A Christian Manifesto, were nothing short of prophetic. As he approached his death, after fifty years of his ministry, he observed that evangelicalism over that time could be summarized primarily by one term: Accommodation.

The Governor of Purgatory is giving bonus miles in Purgatory for trips to Lourdes this year.

Posted on by Don

My Bible tells me that Jesus took all my sins on Himself at the sacrifice that He did at the Cross. Pope Benedict thinks that this is now his role as Governor of Purgatory.

For my Catholic readers. There is no purgatory and indulgences are a damnable heresy. What Pope Benedict XVI said in this article makes him a false prophet and an old religious fool who appeals to silly old women and gullible superstitious people. Catholicism needs to return to true Christianity rather than to medieval doctrines of heretics.

Trips to Lourdes to cut time spent in purgatory – Telegraph: “Pope Benedict XVI is offering relief from purgatory to Roman Catholics who travel to Lourdes over the next year, the Vatican said yesterday.”

Apophatic and Kataphatic Prayer

Posted on by Don

Apparently the emergent movement is redefining prayer for us. It is not enough to know that prayer is communication with God now you should know the difference between “apophatic” and “kataphatic” prayer. Well don’t panic, Eugene Peterson explains it all for us. Kataphatic prayer is praying with the eyes open and apohpatic prayer is praying with the eyes closed. Somehow all this profound wisdom reminds me of a old commercial. The one where they show eggs frying and equate it with your brain on drugs. You read the article and see where it takes you?

“kataphatic prayer employs thoughts and images while apophatic transcends these.

Christians Consider Drinking Beer Acceptable According to ChristiaNet.com Poll

Posted on by Don

It is nice to hear that the majority still have some common sense.

The person or persons who said that they do not know anyone that drinks only one beer obviously is hanging around with the wrong people. I suppose he would say the same thing about those who have a glass of wine with dinner? I have news, the vast majority of wine drinkers have one or two glasses of wine and then stop. It is the same with most beer drinkers. The comment that beer and wine does not taste good is a totally ridiculous statement to those who like these food products.… continue reading

Common ground betwen Islam and Christianity?

Posted on by Don

Take a look at the signatories on this letter. Among them are Rick Warren, Bill Hybels and Robert Schuller.

God did not call Christians to establish common ground with unbelievers. He told us to preach the good new of salvation through Jesus Christ. It does not matter to these “Christian” leaders that Islam rejects Jesus Christ as the Savior of mankind and the Son of God?

I also find it unbelievable that Christians would call Mohammad a prophet. This demonic man got nothing from God but instead he established a religion that would be in direct opposition to God’s people.

I also have news for all of you.… continue reading

David Wilkerson’s Prophecy of Run on American Banks

Posted on by Don

I don’t doubt there will be an economic panic someday soon but I am not going to put too much stock in a prophecy make many years ago by David Wilkerson who also made other prophecies that did not come to pass. I have his book here called, “Racing Towards Judgment” it was written in 1976 and it said many such things. I think that book makes the point I made clear enough.

: “In PREPARATION, October 1993(Rebecca, Box 545, Latham, NY 12110. ‘There has come to hand a prophetic word through David Wilkerson transcribed during a sermon.

I am a radical Fundamentalist

Posted on by Don

I also am also one of those Fundamentalists, Evangelicals, Bible thumpers or whatever people call true Christians these days. The Far Left need not apply to be members of our exclusive Body without a spiritual rebirth.

I am a radical Fundamentalist: “I am a radical Fundamentalist by Donald Hank So was Mom. So was Dad. As far as I recall, our whole family, except for 2 unchurched uncles, were radical fundamentalists who professed a naïve belief in the whole Word of God. And here’s the bizarre part: Not one of us misfits has been observed to strap a belt of explosives to ourselves and blow ourselves up in a crowded bus terminal.

Willowcreek has Jimmy Carter at Annual Leadership Summit. Next year, Antichrist?

Posted on by Don

Jan Markell understands what other Church leaders that attend Bill Hybels events continually miss. The Church is not about learning worldly success. It is not about inviting world leaders to teach us worldly philosophies of men. It is especially not about inviting world leaders who prove that they do not believe fundamental moral concepts found in the Bible. These leaders might call themselves Christians but when they continually are on the side and promote those living in immoral lifestyles the Bible says to remove them from the Church. We are not to fellowship with them. Yet Hybels often invites famous people to teach Christian leaders who oppose what any true Christian knows is right and moral.… continue reading

The Church of the Dead Sea or the Church of the dead Me?

Posted on by Don

Once in a while Dave Daubenmire’s observations leave me somewhat bewildered. I don’t know where he attends church but his observation in this article are not based on the facts. Most Christians do not go to Church three times a week and none are over-stuffed with the word. You are luck to get Christians to attend church once a week for one or two hours. Most Christians are starving for the lack of the word being taught. I have yet to meet one Christian that is over-stuffed with the word. Most Christians have never even read through the Bible in their entire lifetime.… continue reading

Carlton Pearson says nobody goes to hell and becomes a heretic

Posted on by Don

You cannot teach things contrary to what God said and be regarded as a teacher of the Christian faith. Carlton Pearson was a heretic long before he more recently proved it to his own congregation and his denomination. He was in the heretical name it and claim it Word Faith Movement that is so prevalent on TBN. Is it any wonder that these unstable men go from one heresy to the next? With Carlton the defining moment came when he came to believe that the Bible was not the world of God?? Now why would a “believer” ever believe that? Obviously someone told him the Bible was the world of God sometime during his life but he never ever found out the truth for himself.… continue reading

Father Jonathan speaks for Pope?

Posted on by Don

I greatly respect Father Jonathan but can’t the Pope make these things clear himself? I wish you were the head of the Catholic Church, Father, then maybe we would get somewhere, but you are not. We read what this Pope said. If he did not mean what the press communicated on his writings he should be the one to clarify it. Anyone can use their own beliefs and spin to try to tell us that the Pope is not excluding non Catholics from the Body of Christ but I want to hear that said from the head man himself.

You say the Pope does not believe all non Catholics will all go to hell but that is not the issue.… continue reading

Pope says Protestants are not in the Body of Christ

Posted on by Don

I hope you ecumenically minded Protestants realized what this Pope just spelled out. He said that Protestant clergy are not ordained and they are therefore not priests in the one true Church. He also said that the means of salvation are not found in those churches. Thus, no matter how you want to spin it the Pope just said that all Protestant Christians are not saved unless they return to the apostolic authority of the Catholic Church.

Some of you that thought you could fellowship with this church as fellow Christians should now see that you have been deceived. In Catholicism there is only one true church, it is their church.… continue reading

Hank Hanegraaff’s false theology and questionable character

Posted on by Don

Hank Hanegraaff of CRI has a staff that gets him answers. That makes him credible on many biblical topics but when Hank Hanegraaff himself steps out in certain areas of theology he displays a basic lack of biblical understanding. We should not be surprised that mockers like Hank Hanegraaff would come against those who declare the soon coming of Jesus, Bible prophecy declares they will. The questionable character issues are well known and they can easily be found with any keyword search on his name on Google.

Here is an excerpt of an article by Jan Markel of Olivetreeviews.org about Hank Hanegraaff’s attack on Dispensational Premillennial Theology (article was posted on Worldview Weekend).… continue reading

Erwin McManus’s False Teachings

Posted on by Don

This will get to the heart of the matter about the heresy within the emergent church movement. In a nut shell their goal is a Jesus religion that cares little about the Biblical Jesus or His words. They plan to reinvent Christianity so it will fit right in with the postmodern generation taught that there are no moral absolutes. This is why this movement will be identified with the harlot who rides the Beast in Revelation.

Erwin McManus’s False Teachings  “Erwin McManus has made it crystal clear that he hates Christianity. This is very well documented. He has said, “The greatest enemy of the movement of Jesus Christ is Christianity,” and “My goals is to destroy Christianity as a world religion and be a recatalyst for the movement of Jesus Christ.”[1]

United Church of Christ cult (UCC) backs same-sex marriage

Which continues to show that the UCC denomination has no regard for Biblical truths. I think it would only be fair to the cults if they also were now labeled a Christian cult.
