APOSTACEY

CHRISTIAN WATCHMAN

Today many calling themselves Christians are really apostates who have fallen away from the true faith as stated in scriptures and instead are believing lying spirits and are consorting with demons.

These false apostates sneak in the fold and bring in their damanable heresies. The many itching ears of end time apostates today want to hear something new and so they listen to false prophecies, run from meeting to meeting to get their spiritual fix, give money hoping for gain, rely on spiritual mysticism instead of the bible, and follow prophets and so called apostles
instead of developing their own relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

These false sheep are always looking for a thrill to satisfy their carnal nature. The scriptures are not important to them and so they have convinced themselves that God is speaking through these false prophets and teachers. Why are there false prophets? Scriptures tell us that people want them! They want to be lied to! They like hearing false peace, false love, and false doctrine messages.

God’s sheep hear his voice and they follow him. The Bible is our sure word of prophecy and what is said through leaders must always line up with the bible. Apostasy will have a very sorrowful end. It would have been better to have never been born than to mess with God’s word and change it into a freak show, be a prophet for profit or lead others astray.

Ezek 22:25 There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.

Ezek 22:27,28 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her prophets have daubed them with untempered mortar, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.

Jer 5:31 The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?

Jer 23:21,22 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

Jer 14:14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

Jer 14:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

Jer 14:16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

Mat 7:15-23 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity [lawlessness].

2 Tim 4:3,4 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mark 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN THE WEST.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Hundreds of millions of Christians have suffered discrimination or even persecution in lands as diverse as China and India, but mostly in countries where Islam is the top religion.

Despite this, persecution of Christians is one topic the American public doesn’t hear much about. One possible reason: an anti-Christian bias among Western elites.

These Western elites often control the media and educational institutions that spread information to the general public.

But they rarely cover or discuss the reality that Christians may well be the most persecuted religious group on the planet. It has been estimated that Christians number some 2.2 billion people. Harassment of them can range from loss of life to loss of livelihood.

Word of Faith Heresy Exposed, A Call for Discernment

The Image of the Beast

Many people get off track when they refer to Babylon as one particular entity. In actuality Babylon represents the kingdoms of this world, which have all one by one fallen and the last kingdom of this world will fall too. The image that the Babylonian king saw was an image of some of the greater of the kingdoms of this world, which revelations tell us will all fall. When the last image was crushed at the feet the whole image fell. This is to signify that the kingdoms of this world are finished and now will come the kingdom of our Lord. Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” Revelation 11:15

The image of the beast is 666, is the number of a man. This is both literal and metaphorical. 7 in the Hebrew is the number of perfection, so the 7th angel comes in and announces the kingdom of our Lord as an everlasting kingdom.

Babylon is referred to in scriptures as: a nation, a mystery religion, and a literal city. When you take a look at all three you can see 666. Man’s physical achievements, man’s religious ideologies, and man’s economic system. Now, I am not saying that there is no literal mark, because there is and the bible makes it clear that this mark is also an economic mark, BUT the mark of the beast is also a spiritual mark.

It seems however that some people are given the interpretation in part, but the Lord has so graciously revealed to me how they all fit together. If you keep in mind, this 3 part connection, you wont be confused by the different takes on Babylon because they are all correct, in part. I ask you to test what the lord has shown me and if you disagree that’s fine, but for those who see what I am seeing, Maranatha!

Babylon is literal and Spiritual.

The False Doctrine of Dominionism

The False Doctrine of Dominionism

1. The Gospel of Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ and His shed blood on the cross. The emphasis is placed upon repentance and conversion of individual souls. The Kingdom of God in this age is spiritual and grows through efforts of evangelism based on teaching the Bible. It is “not of this world” (John 18:36), but a spiritual rule in the hearts of men (Luke 17:20-21). Furthermore, the Kingdom of God is only finally realized upon Christ’s second return to Earth, whereby He Himself establishes His literal and physical reign.

2. The Scripture speaks of a type of separation between Church and State that forbids unholy coalitions. When a financial Church-State question was posed by the chief priests and scribes to the Lord Jesus Christ, He answered, “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and unto God the things that be God’s” (Luke 20:25) While believers have a responsibility to obey the laws and rulers of the land (Romans 13), they are also required to “obey God rather than man” (Acts 5:29), especially when the truth of the Gospel message is at stake.

3. The doctrines of Restoration are rooted in the earth. Their basis is the (false) teaching that man must take dominion of this earth and change it for the better before Jesus can come. However, This system requires obedience to Law. If any system of religion is going to be introduced worldwide, amongst many who offer only a token submission to it, obviously that religion must be strongly enforced and governed by rules and regulations. In fact, the religion proposed by Restoration (and other) Christian movements for world transformation today is one closely modeled on the Old Testament Law.

4. In order to provide biblical proof of their role as earth saviors and law-givers, and in order to support their claim to be the Kingdom of God on earth, Restoration leaders have to pirate the Old Testament promises of God to the nation of Israel and make them apply to the Church.

5.They have gone on record as saying that Israel has no further place in God’s future plan for blessing the nations, nor will the ‘kingdom’ promises of the OT come to pass specifically for Israel, but only by and through the Church. The Jews rejected their Messiah, they say, and so forfeited their inheritance. But God, who can never lie nor break His Word, has promised specific material blessings of land, prosperity, nationhood, peace and victory to the literal nation of Israel in the future. These promises have never been fulfilled and can only be fulfilled in the context of a re-gathering and spiritual resurrection of Jews in the literal land of Israel. [Jer 31:35-37]

6.
The emphasis on earthly triumph for the Church and long years of victorious rule to precede the Lord’s Coming removes the need to ‘watch and pray’ and be ready for that Day. Many sensitive Christians are aware that the signs leading up to the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus are being fulfilled in this generation, and that – in fact – the Coming may be very soon indeed. If so, we ought to be on our guard against laxity and deception, as Jesus warned. But Restoration doctrine promises ultimate triumph for the Church instead of the tribulation of the endtimes prophesied in the Word, and so encourages a careless attitude.

7. Restoration teaching places the binding of evil, and the ‘dominion’ of the righteous, at the FIRST coming of the Lord, it radically adjusts our understanding of the book of Revelation and the other prophecies of the End. According to this scheme, the Tribulation, Antichrist, Apostasy and so forth are placed historically in the PAST, or else are made out to be symbolic interpretations of ordinary antagonism against the victorious Church. The Restoration understanding of prophecy is largely POST-millennial. That is, it places the Return of Christ AFTER the reign of righteousness and peace. Therefore, what is now expected is not tribulation but triumph. This is very dangerous, especially as the scripture warns that, before Jesus returns, a world leader claiming to be Messiah will arise. [2 Thess 2:3,4] It may be that Restoration Christians, unaware of the true prophetic calendar, will accept this man as Christ.

8. Dominionism denies the sovereignty of the Godhead.
Restoration doctrine claims that Jesus CANNOT return until all His enemies have been put under the feet of the Church, (including death, presumably). His coming is not at the appointed time ordained by God, as scripture says [Acts 1:7] but must wait on the preparations made for Him by the Church, for the world must be evangelised and saved and the Bride must be totally united and without spot or wrinkle when He comes. However, the Bible states that very few will be ready when Jesus comes, and that the purification of the Bride is a work of the Holy Spirit, not Christian leaders. [Luke 18:8/Matt 7:14]

9. In order to establish world dominion, Restoration teaching must be unvaried and universal, and this cannot be done without the obedience of all its followers. Thus, a system of leadership [discipleship] must be introduced to ensure every Christian is under authority and unable to err from the teaching. This excludes from the ‘one world kingdom’ all those who disagree with Restoration teaching. In effect, it disinherits all other Christians from the Body of Christ. Indeed, some restoration fellowships teach that their Church is the only valid one, that the door to salvation is through the Church, [not Jesus Christ the Saviour!] and that everyone outside of the system is outside of the Kingdom of God.

10. It replaces Jesus with the Church.
In an effort to strengthen the claims of the Church on earth, as a Kingdom and Authority to be obeyed, Restoration doctrine has come close to replacing Lord Jesus with His Body. The properties, abilities and authority of Jesus are made over to the visible Body on earth and His functions as Head and Government, Shepherd and King are taken over by Church elders (on His behalf, they say!). Then, it becomes the responsibility OF THE CHURCH to destroy the wicked and establish the Kingdom on earth. This leads to human arrogance and rivalry, and replaces obedience to God with submission to the Church.

11. It is quite simply an idolatrous system very similar to Catholicism, with leadership that cant be questioned, control, and undermining of scriptures. A man made end time false doctrine that takes the focus from Jesus and the cross to the 5 fold ministry and church and member elitism.

12. The align themselves with Rome and are members of the ecumenical groups.

“Come out from among them!”

God’s true sheep are in all denominations, even in the Roman church. However, the Lord is calling his sheep out of the devil’s camp because he will pour out his wrath on evil systems profaning his name, eventually.

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”2 Cor. 6:17

“And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”Revelation 18:4

The Roman religion is referred to as the “Mother Church.” By this statement Rome is calling herself “mother” and according to the Bible this is in reference to the HARLOT false church.

“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color (official Vatican colors), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (the Vatican is very rich), having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations (the Holocaust, inquisitions, greed, idolatry,) and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” Revelation 17:4,5

“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Isaiah 42:8

Come out of Babylon! The Roman church is corrupt.

“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN…that they may provoke me to anger” Jeremiah 7:18

“The missionary history of the [Catholic] Church clearly shows her adaptability to all races, all continents, all nations. In her liturgy and her art, in her tradition and the forming of her doctrine, naturally enough she includes Jewish elements, but also elements that are of pagan origin. In certain respects, she has copied her organization from that of the Roman Empire, has preserved and made fruitful the philosophical intuitions of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, borrowed from both Barbarians and the Byzantine Roman Empire—but always remains herself, thoroughly digesting all elements drawn from external sources…In her laws, her ceremonies, her festivals and her devotions, she makes use of local customs after purifying them and “baptizing” them.” Twentieth Century Encyclopedia of Catholicism

Beware of Word Faith Deception

Word of Faith teachers profess that Christians have a “right” to this world’s goods if they ask God and have enough faith.

According to WOF teachers, Words have power and that is why it is often called “name it and claim it.” WOF preachers take a verse such as Matthew 11:24 out of context. “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. “ to support their doctrine.

The Bible, however, teaches that God’s will determines the answer to our prayers, not man’s will.

‘And this is the boldness which we have toward Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us. And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of Him.’—I John 5:14, 15.

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. “Romans 8:26-27

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. “Romans 12:2

“ Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is].” Ephesians 5:17

“Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.” James 4:13,15
WOF also teaches that God wants to bless Christians with money, big homes and new cars, ect. Using verses as Malachi 3:10 out of context.

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.

That is why WOF is called the “prosperity gospel” or “health and wealth gospel.”

However the Bible tells us that seeking after money in this life is sin.

“He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or much, but the full stomach of the rich will not let him sleep.” Ecclesiastes 5:10-12

“Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 1 Timothy 6:9-11:

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.” Matthew 6:24

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him”. 1John 2:15

Wealth is not a sign of favor from God. Many drug dealers, corrupt businessmen, and pornographers are wealthy and millions of hardworking, honest Christians are poor.

“Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? “ James 2:5

WOF also teach that people are created in the image of God and therefore are “little gods.” They imply that Christians are able to control a “faith force” and have the power to bring their desires into being. They take John 10:34 out of context Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods ?”

This claim is idolatry because Jesus was quoting Psalm 82, which referred to judges as “gods.”

Jesus was stating that he was above all judges being the Son of God, deity.

True Christians are indwelt by the Holy Spirit but are not little gods. God is the creator and humans are his creations. Christians are to be in submission to God’s will and his Lordship, living their lives to please him alone.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children. “ Ephesians 5:1-33

“Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. “John 15:14

“And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. “ Luke 4:8

The “Love ” Gospel Does Not Love Truth

The” Love” Gospel Does Not Love Truth

The “Love Gospel” is another gospel but it is not the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. The “Love Gospel” overlooks sound Biblical doctrine in order to accept those of other faiths as Christians.

The major emphasis is on love and unity. The false “Love” Gospel is the bases of Ecumenism and is leading towards a one world religion in these last days.

In order to accomplish this unity, the Bible is compromised, causing doctrines of demons to come into the Church, or a least what is passing off today in some circles as Christianity. Those who follow This “Love Gospel” cry the loudest, “Don’t judge” and “you’re causing division.”

Today, there are so many false and watered down false gospels being preached today. Messages which require no real repentance, commitment and do not recognize the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We can see this in the modern translations of the Bible which are constantly changing God’s word, and pseudo “gospel” presentations given to the tickling ears. 

The “Love Gospel” perverts God’s Word by twisting scripture to suit an agenda. Sound doctrine is ignored in order to justify  a false unity for the sake of peace.

Here is a typical misconstrued scripture by the followers of the “Love Gospel.”

Mark 9: 38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part. For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

The “Love Gospel” uses this verse without examining all scripture within its context in order to overlook testing the spirts, proving all things and examining ourselves to see if we are in the true faith as scriptures also exhort. While there may be some who follow Jesus that do not belong to “our” church that does not mean that all who come in Jesus name are of the truth. Sound Bible doctrine is important and we are commanded to defend the faith from those who would water it down, pervert it, or deny it.

Jude 13. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Galatians 16. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, IF ANY [man] PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT YE HAVE RECEIVED, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. For do I now persuade men, or God? or DO I SEEK TO PLEASE MEN? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Is Paul being divisive and judgmental? Not at all ! Paul is demonstrating his love for Jesus by defending the faith against the invading wolves and false teachers which he said would sneak into the fold.

Matthew 7:13 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

1 John 511 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; [and] HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON OF GOD HATH NOT LIFE. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God

2: Matthew 7 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and THEN THOU SHALT SEE CLEARLY to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.

The Bible clearly says do not judge if you are doing the same things but it says to stop doing wrong things so you can judge righteously. We don’t throw out judging altogether! Christians are commanded to JUDGE between sound doctrine and error . Christians are not supposed to blindly accept any wind of teaching. The Bereans would be able to reject any false doctrine because it would not line up with the Word.

Acts 17:10. And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews.These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

God’s Word also says Matthew 7:15 15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

2 Peter 2:1 1. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

1 John 4:1 1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

1 Corinthians 6:2 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

1 Corinthians 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

Christians are to put every teaching to the test of the Bible, God’s Word. If the teaching does NOT line up with the Word….then REJECT it! We are living in the last days when many will not endure sound doctrine. Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils are coming into the Churches in droves and rather than rejecting them and standing for truth, the “Love’ Gospel ” promotes unity over truth of scriptures.

The “love” gospel does not want to hear about repentance, or sin, or hell or judgment but these are all scriptural concepts and we are commanded to preach them!

1 Timothy 4:1 1. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

2 Corinthians 11:13 For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Ephesians 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather REPROVE [them].

Psalms 94:16 16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

The “love gospel” adherents, afraid of persecution, will end up “loving” people to hell fire! If you really have God’s love in your heart you will preach the truth. Warn the sinner of future judgment and hell fire for rejecting Jesus Christ. Tell them that God loved the world that he sent Jesus to die for them but also tell them that God’s wrath is upon all who reject so great salvation.

Fred Price also claims that Jesus was rich and that He left us with an example to follow. That is why Fred drives a Rolls Royce; he is following Jesus’ example.

Mr. Price also communicates one of the more sickening beliefs of the Word-Faith teachers which shocks even those with a mild amount of common sense. He says, “How can you glorify God in your body, when it doesn’t function right?….What makes you think the
Holy Ghost wants to live inside of a body where He can’t see out through the windows, and He can’t hear out the ears?” Fred Price, Is God Glorified Through Sickness?

Kenneth Copeland will tell you that “God is the biggest failure in the Bible…the
reason you’ve never thought that is because He never said He was one”.Kenneth Copeland, “Praise-a-thon

Kenneth Copeland “copy of the mother planet” which God lives on, again imitating a Mormon doctrine. The Bible plainly
states that God is spirit (John 4:24), The Bible
never says a thing about this earth being a copy of any so-called mother planet.

Benny Hinn said Jesus would have sinned if it had not been for the Holy Ghost: “Now, Jesus endured the cross and looked towards the cross by the power of the Holy Ghost…He was kept sinless by the Spirit. Because the Bible says He offered Himself spotless through the Spirit. Watch this, it’s right here. “How much more shall the blood of Christ Who, through the eternal Spirit, offered Himself without spot.” So had the Holy Ghost not been there, then Jesus would have sinned.” Benny Hinn, Praise The Lord.

Benny Hinn quotes on Christians being little Gods/ gods: “When you say, ‘I am a Christian, you are saying, ‘I am mashiach’ in the Hebrew. I am a little messiah walking on earth, in other words That is a shocking revelation…. May I say it like this? You are a little god on earth running around.” Benny Hinn Praise-a-thon

Christians are “Little Messiah’s and “little gods” on the earth. Thus [Encouraging the audience]…say “I am a God-man….This spirit-man within me is a God-man…” say “I’m born of heaven-a God-man. I’m a God man. I am a sample of Jesus. I’m a super being. Say it! Say it! Who’s a super being? “I walk in the realm of the supernatural.” Say it!…You want to prosper? money will be falling on you from left, right and centre. God will begin to prosper you, for money always follows righteousness….Say after me, “everything I ever want is in me already.” Benny Hinn TBN

“If you say, I am, your saying you’re a part of him, right? Is he God? Are you his offspring? Are you his children? Then you’re not human!” Benny Hinn, Our position in Christ

Let’s say, I am a God man.’ This spirit man within me is a God-Man. I’m a God-Man.” Benny Hinn Praise the Lord, TBN,

When you were born again the Word was made flesh in you You are everything He was and everything He is and ever He shall be …. Don’t say,’ I have.’ Say, ‘ I am, I am, I am, I am, I am.” Benny Hinn, “Our Position in Christ.

These teachers because have supposedly received these teachings by direct revelation from God and according to them to oppose what they say is to oppose God. However, these false teachers have lifted themselves in pride above any critical analysis contrary to the scriptures which say we are to prove all things, test the spirits, judge according to the word of God, and so in accordance to scriptures God’s elect are to disregard anything not in accord with the bible.
