Joyce Meyer? Creflo Dollar? T.D. Jakes? Joel Osteen?

Matthew 7:15 is very clear:

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."

To get to the main point: If you are reading or listening to Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, and the like, then take note of Matthew 7:15 = Beware of false prophets.

To get more on this issue: Read and study true Orthodox believers in Classical Christianity. Check out Hank Hanegraaff's Ministry at equip.org and read Christianity In Crisis.

To get an idea of the issue: take a look at some of the venom that these people are spewing:

"God cannot do anything in this earthly realm unless we give Him permission."

"Being poor is a sin."

"The Jews were not rejecting Jesus as Messiah;
it was Jesus who was refusing to be the Messiah to the Jews!"

"You create your own world the same way God creates His.
He speaks, and things happen; you speak, and they happen."

I know this may be a sensitive issue for those who have followed some of these people...and it's not necessarily your fault...they deceive...that is what they do...but don't feel bad...instead, get equipped...

The Brilliance of Wintery Knight

Here is a link to a brilliant blog, written by a favorite thinker, Wintery Knight...most Christians have a misunderstanding of God, and it leads many of them to "de-convert"...they are simply misinformed...so WK hits on key elements to show how Christianity truly relates to our lives, and why it is so important that our understanding of correct Christian Theology and Doctrine, be accurate, instead of some superstitious nonsense...

...here are few excerpts:

"This is why accurate theology matters. No serious Christian thinks that you stop sinning after you become a Christian, and no serious Christian thinks that prayer alone is a solution to sin. To stop sinning, you need to engage more than the spirit, you need to engage the mind. Most people want to spiritualize things because prayer is easier than study. But if you want to stop sinning, the best way is a combination of prayer and study."

"Some people want to dumb Christianity down to the level of superstition then they complain that it doesn't work. But Christianity is better when you learn more and work harder..."

...People become Christians because they want to be like Jesus, and they understand that Jesus was not having fun. He was doing a job, and he wasn't happy or appreciated."

"It's so strange to me that people think that the best way to see God interfere is to pray. The way I see God working in my life is when I go home and listen to some debate about the problem of evil, and then the next day some atheist asks me out to lunch to talk about why God allows evil. Maybe instead of doing easy things, we should actually invest in our relationship with God and then see if he responds by giving us work to do. Maybe a relationship with God is about serving him, and the joy is about seeing him reward those efforts by working with us and through us. Maybe God has more for us than just entertainment."

The Pro-Abortion Contradiction

Ronald Reagan once said:

“Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.”

• • •

Those who are pro-abortion should stop and think about their contradictory position...the only reason they are able to vote or advocate for pro-abortion legislation is because they were not, themselves, aborted...

It's also funny how one of the main things pro-abortion advocates bring up is the issue of having rights...the right to privacy, the right to autonomy, the right to reproductive status...give me a break...again, stop and think about why you have rights to begin with...you were given life...you were not aborted...your rights were not taken away...

...You want to talk about rights...how about the right-to-life for the fetus?

...and understand, that a potential you was not born...you were born...if the embryo you once were was aborted, a potential you would not have been murdered...you would have been murdered...

...so the next time a pro-abortion advocate wants to celebrate their right to abort, they need to stop and think about why they have been given such a right to begin with...
