Paul Washer is a Delusional, Convoluted Calvinist: Beware!
Paul Washer Preaching Repentance, Hell, and Sin? WHY Bother?!
How Very Absurd for Calvinists like Paul Washer, Tim Conway, John MacArthur, John Piper, Vodie Baucham, Etc. to preach these things! How Very Absurd!
Trio of Calvinist Frauds
Wolves in sheep’s clothing like John MacArthur, Vodie Baucham, and Paul Washer, etc. preach repentance and yet these frauds are all calvinists and so they believe that no one can make the free will choice to obey Jesus’ command to repent. To call this convoluted delusionment would be an understatement. Run from these calvinist warlocks! | Calvinism is Heresy
Calvinists are snakes. They hide this evil, demonic system of beliefs just like Satan attempted to hide his identity when he entered the pristine, sinless Garden, infiltrating, to deceive the man and woman. His first lie was the OSAS/ES/perseverance of the saints lie which led to the fall of mankind and is still leading to the damnation of millions (Gen 2:17; 3:4).
Beware. Personally, I do not collude with and find common ground with calvinists. Calvisnism is “another gospel” and those preaching it are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Vodie Baucham and Paul Washer are calvinist snakes. These wolves can scream all they want as they seek to be profound in their staged speech. I don’t buy it. They are both convoluted heretics. Finding reasons to fellowship with a calvinist is no different than seeking to have communion with catholics. In fact. John Calvin admittedly got his heretical doctrines from a catholic named Augustine. | The Historical Roots of Calvinism
Paul Washer is a calvinist which makes him a false teacher. Calvinists believe the heresy of “perseverance of the saints” and you wonder why they don’t fear the LORD? Why he doesn’t preach in the fear of the LORD? Calvinisms “perseverance of the saints” heresy is paramount to the eternal security/once saved always saved lie from hell.
Is it warranted to call out Paul Washer? This is a warranted warning (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4, etc.). Paul Washer is a typical calvinist snake who hides behind a few truths and then poisons the baited victims later. Speaking of doctrine, Paul warns: “A LITTLE leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” (Galatians 5:9)
Paul told us that any man or even an angel from Heaven (not hell) “preach ANY other gospel”, such a person is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Calvinism is clearly another gospel, a false gospel.
WHEN you hear someone use the terminology “sovereign grace” you know you are dealing with a deceived calvinist who has bought into a false gospel that intentionally over-emphasizes grace while ignoring divine holiness and justice and the God-given conditions for abiding in Christ. Cross-less. Rebuke and run if they don’t repent – which they most likely won’t because they are intoxicated with this delusion. Calvinism is a system, a set of doctrines of devils that grossly misrepresents Christ and His original Gospel!
Calvinism and the Devils who Peddle it Busted!
Calvinism is an extra-biblical system of theology which blatantly contradicts clear, known Scripture. 1 John 2:2 alone exposes calvinism as a doctrinal system of devils.
1 John 2:2 alone disproves the whole grace-perverting extra-biblical system of calvinism. “THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.”
Much of that which is called “the deeper life” is laced with calvinistic poison and not truly centered on Christ at all. It refuses His call, His mandate for the crucified life Jesus and replaces it with sin-justifying heresy – the 5 points of calvinism. Beware!
Beware that people like John MacArthur, Arthur Pink, and Charles Spurgeon are calvinists. Though they may have some good quotes, their doctrinal pond is poisonous.
Personally, I stay away from the “revivalist” and church history and stick with the Scriptures which are pure (Proverbs 30:5-6). | Church History or the Scriptures?
When a preacher has to always be yelling, does that raise a red flag? What’s hiding?
We should be careful who we quote. If we bid Godspeed to a heretic, using one of his GOOD quotes, we’re still pointing people to that man (2 John 9-10). Example: Personally, you will never see a Paul Washer or Charles Spurgeon quote on my page, even though they both have/had made true statements. WHY you ask? Simple, Washer and Spurgeon are calvinists and calvinism is an extra-biblical system of heresy that grossly perverts the character and original Gospel of the LORD.

Yes well as we peer into the demonic doctrines of calvinism it becomes obvious as to the arrogance.
This email message (below) makes me think of how people like Paul Washer (a vile calvinist) sensationalize being a “radical” follower of Jesus. Makes me wonder if Satan’s plan in this type preaching isn’t to separate people from God through these type ministries that seem to complicate and sensationalize the simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus, living humbly while denying self daily and following Jesus (Luke 9:23-24). I wonder if the effect of this type glorification of becoming a “radical” doesn’t have the opposite effect of what it seems on the surface to be aimed at. This below came in my email today. Please pray for this dear lady named Ana.
“To begin with, I was born again about 10 years ago but most of that time I’ve been severely depressed to the point of losing all hope in this life. Basically many of my spiritual struggles stemmed from an inaccurate view of God that I developed by reading all kinds of very radical books and sermons which made me afraid of God and biblical Christianity. I have some better days but I still struggle with a lot of things and I wish I could be like others, just fully trusting and following the Lord with an open heart.”
— WHY would any calvinist (like Washer) bother street preaching or doing any ministry since in their demented view, God sovereignly elects some to eternal life and some to damnation without the personal will of the individual, forcing them to be His whether they like it or not? The Idiocy of Calvinism
Paul Washer seeks to hide his calvinistic heresies. He refuses to come out and admit that he espouses this diabolical system of theology. He will not come out and admit it when asked which adds to the concern. Washer is deceitfully hiding the fact that he embraces these diabolical beliefs.
Calvinism is doctrine and the image of Satan, not God. God is love and so loved the whole world that He gave Himself on that cross …. Jesus told us before He went to that cross that when He did He would “draw all men” to Himself (John 12:32). WHY O WHY would Jesus tell us He was going to “draw all men” if His intention wasn’t to save all men? (John 12:32; 1 Timothy 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9) God’s Word informs us that Jesus Christ is “the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for the sins of WHOLE world.” (1 John 2:2) It’s time to repent of this damning system of heresies before it’s too late. All who teach calvinism are hell bound false teachers without exception.
Calvinists are Snakes
Works-Based Salvation, Dramatizing Story Teller Paul Washer Exposed Also as a Vile Calvinist
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 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.” 2 Corinthians 11:13-15
Every false leader has his own unique niche gig to build his constituency – his following. Beguilers use the phenomenon of the cult of personality to gain and build their following. There seems to be contrived emotional fakery and theatrics added to Paul Washer’s preaching, preying upon those who long for the truth. Yet, such a lack of truth speakers in this late hour does nothing to justify using this vacuum to exploit others with human drama, antics, and effects to capture the affections of their hearts while robbing Christ of this glory (Colossians 2:6-10, 18-19). Anti means in place of and any human leader who puts himself in place of Christ by not elevating Christ alone, is an “antichrist.” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4; Colossians 2:4-10, 18-19; 1 John 2:18; 4:1-6) Some are claiming that Paul Washer has been elevated as a type of pope among reformed theology adherents and evangelical circles.
Mike Manners writes:
“These Paul Washer fans are seeking to establish their own Righteousness through their human works. Lordship Salvationists require people to forsake their sinful lifestyle to be saved. Jesus never asked us to give up anything to be saved—He simply told us to BELIEVE. Jesus proclaimed in John 11:25, ‘I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.’ Salvation is a FREE GIFT as Romans 5:15 states, paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ. ‘Repentance’ in the Bible simply means ‘a change of mind.’ The changed life comes later, as we grow in the Lord (1st Peter 2:2). A changed life is the result, or fruit, of genuine repentance, and not repentance itself. We don’t go to Heaven because of what we are doing, but because of where we are looking to…JESUS!”
Perhaps something in us wants to feel like we ourselves are meriting or helping in the LORD saving us. This is part of the fallen nature which must be denied, crucified. Scripture states:
“Now to him that worketh (tries to earn salvation) is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” Romans 4:4-5
What does any mere man or men have that isn’t in Scripture or is above Holy Scripture? Zilch.
Paul Washer has an agenda of his own and this is clear for at least two reasons:
- He is a calvinist which means he operates by an un-biblical, anti-biblical system of theology, and,
- Washer goes on and on and on without Scripture.
When a man preaches what seems to be very good doctrine and yet seldom reads a lot of Scripture compared to his own words, that man believes his own words are more powerful and more important than the LORD’s.
“Speak with my words unto them.” Ezekiel 3:4
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God.” 1 Peter 4:11
IT’S pure idolatry that people will listen to Paul Washer for an hour or more and yet won’t read God’s Word for themselves for an hour. Wow! Then they will attack the messengers who are bringing this to the light. Jesus warns us to “repent” before it’s too late. He’s calling His true Bride to relinquish all human idols of the heart and to set their affections upon Him alone:
“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5
Those who are impressed with mere men either 1) do not know the Almighty LORD and Savior, OR 2) are very immature spiritually.
To the astute Bible student who puts no one before Christ and the final authority of His Word, Washer should be easily detected by his imposter spirit and false doctrine (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 John 4:1-6). Something in us should have been alarmed from the onset of watching Washer.
If you are upset because your favorite calvinist preacher is being examined, you do not understand the Word of God nor do you comprehend the Christ-denying, diabolical perversion of calvinism and perhaps have no clue as to how important pure doctrine is to the LORD. Any leader who believes and peddles the demonic doctrines of calvinism is a dangerous man at best and should be avoided and marked, no matter how much truth he does preach. There’s deadly poison in the pond. In the depths of his heart, the calvinist is the very enemy of the cross of Christ, willingly deceived, and a mocking betrayer of the Almighty. Most who buy into the OSAS and calvinistic cancer are simply those who refuse to die to self and so migrate to this sin-justifying system of theology, concocted by men and devils, that dismisses them from all personal responsibility to die to self (Matthew 16:24-25; Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20; 5:24, etc.). Such a system of lies makes God out to be the very author of sin (James 1:13-15). Sound Doctrine for a Glorious Church
As you will see below, to escape the scourge of being named a calvinist, Paul Washer cleverly calls himself a “5-Point Spurgeonist” which means calvinist without attaching the label of “calvinist” to himself. Charles Spurgeon, called by some “the prince of preachers,” was a calvinist. This alone tells us that God has nothing to do with Spurgeon being called “the prince of preachers.” To true Bible believers, the apostle Paul is perhaps the princely preacher. In other words, if any mere man were to merit such a title, it would be one of Christ’s divinely authenticated apostles.
Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints is a divine mandate – especially against those who are turning the saving grace of God into a license for sin and that’s exactly what the heresies of calvinism do (Jude 3-4). Paul says that “a little leaveneth the whole lump” and so while Spurgeon taught some biblical truth, he poisoned the pond with calvinism’s cancerous doctrine of devils. Here’s the roots of calvinism, rooted in catholicism. Calvinism by Ken Rieske
Paul Washer and the Pope Connection Exposed! | Paul Washer is in League with Known Heretic John MacArthur – 2 Pawns in a Pod!
Remember, those who believe and teach “another gospel,” which is anything other than the original Gospel, are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) So, on this divine authority – that of the very Word of God – we can soundly know that those who teach Satan’s system of theology (such as calvinism and eternal security) are not Christians but rather evil and stealthy imposters (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). Beware because some of those who are exposing Paul Washer are still deceived into thinking that salvation cannot be forfeited. OSAS/Eternal Security Busted
Any and all men who teach calvinism and/or OSAS (once saved always saved) are teaching “another gospel” and are false teachers and “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) And, we are commanded to “earnestly contend” against these “ungodly men” who are through their teachings “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” which is a license to sin (Jude 3-4)
It does not matter one single iota that calvinists will swear up and down that they are not justifying sin or sinful living. Remember, these, like their father, are silver tongued deceiving devils and their false teachings are leading people into sinful “lasciviousness” (license to sin) just as Jude warns us of and just as Satan tricked the man and woman into in the Garden (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
Be not deceived: Paul Washer sounds convinced of what he is preaching and yet that is completely separate from whether or not what he is preaching is true or false. It’s sad that so many who hear preachers who sound like they know what they’re talking about, buy into their teachings instead of studying the Bible God gave them for themselves!
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12
Those who do not love the truth are given by God Himself a “strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) That is, they will believe a lie as strongly as truth-loving authentic saints of Christ believe and embrace the truth. There are imposters among us saints – those posing as Christ’s ministers who are actually agents of Satan himself.
“But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 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.” 2 Corinthians 11:12-15
Who else could be a more sinister beguiler and tool of Satan himself other than a person who preaches mostly truth? Yet, a gallon of pure fresh water with just one tiny, invisible drop of arsenic will still kill you door nail dead, right?
“A little leaven (false teaching) leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” Galatians 5:9
God forbid that we be so gullible as to make a heart idol out of any mere sinful man, in this case such as Paul Washer (Ezekiel 14:3). Isn’t this exactly what a third of the angels in Heaven did to Lucifer before they were all vanquished irrevocably from the presence of the Almighty? (Luke 10:19) Obviously those third of the angels Satan deceived were convinced he was telling them the truth, right? They were dead wrong and so are we if we trust any mere man and do not diligently and daily study God’s Word and compare what mere men are preaching to the whole counsel of God’s written Word (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2;15; 3:16-17, etc.).
Paul Washer preaching repentance, sin, and hell? Why?
For the record and with concern for Christ’s body … Paul Washer is a rank calvinist and just a little doctrinal leaven leavens the WHOLE lump. The doctrines of calvinisms are much more than just “a little leaven.” (Galatians 5:9) In the demented theology of calvinism, only those God had respect to – the special elect – should even bother repenting, trusting Christ, and dying to self and walking with Jesus because all others were created by God to just be hurt, damned, and forsaken. That’s the false god of calvinism and Washer.
“There is NO respect of persons with God.” Romans 2:11
And yet, if people get to listening to him and then get sucked in to his false and poisonous calvinism, they could be forever lost …. also, if we think about it, why repent unless you are one of the chosen elect? why bother? after all, according to the diabolical calvinism that washer has deliberately chosen to buy into and preach, man has no choice in the matter….. do you see how ludicrous and hypocritcal it is for a calvinist to preach repentance from sin?
Factor in the diabolical, ludicrous teachings of Calvinism and think about how ridiculous it is for clowns like Washer and John MacArthur, John Piper, Tony Evans, R.C. Sproul, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Billy Graham to teach on sin, repentance, hell, etc. Were we not solemnly warned about and commanded to “earnestly contend” against these “ungodly” men who have “crept in unawares?”
THE VERY false “doctrines of grace” Paul Washer espouses as a calvinist are the very reason for the collapse of the American church. Quite ridiculous.
“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. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares (undetected), who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:3-4 (KJV)
Here’s a video link … this says it all for me …. Washer goes on and on and on with very little Scripture, philosophying about things like the typical calvinist who is living a fairytale lie that will ultimately end in destruction … watch this foolishness. This video really shows what underlies Washer’s worldview and false theology as it does so many who hold influence in this late hour. It is more than obvious that Paul Washer’s theology is based on Calvinisms diabolical lies.
In this brief video below, Paul Washer admits he’s a calvinist by saying he is a “5-point Spurgeonist.” In other words, he knows Charles Spurgeon is popular among evangelicals and so attempts to piggyback on Spurgeon’s reputation. Apparently, true disciples of Christ are not a bit impressed with Spurgeon or any mere sinful man. They get their beliefs/doctrine straight from God’s written Word and say with Paul, “Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) In this piece we see Washer whitewashing calvinism as a legitimate system of theology. Lie. That’s a diabolical lie. As you will hear, Washer tells his audience that the lies of “calvinism is not the issue.” It sure is the issue with the Almighty who is “the truth” and whose “word is truth.” (John 14:6; 17:17) Calvinism makes God out to be a grand liar and an initiator and enabler of sin. In this video below, we also see Paul Washer speaking of the issue being regeneration and not calvinism and yet he conveniently leaves out the fact that calvinists believe that regeneration happens without the individuals free will or permission and BEFORE that individual even chooses to believe. Supposedly, in their mythical, wishful thinking fairy tale theology, calvinists believe that God chooses to come upon a special few elite persons and regenerates them without their will that He gave them to choose (Joshua 24:15; Deuteronomy 30:19). Washer perhaps deceitfully raises his voice to further be convincing – to seduce his audience into the bizarre teachings of reformed theology/calvinism.
No matter what else good Washer states, it doesn’t undo his false beliefs – He’s a calvinist which contaminates his whole body of truth (Galatians 5:9).
PAUL WASHER the POPE OF CALVINISM!!!
Jonathan Hoegle writes:
“I watched the video. Paul Washer describes how mankind is radically depraved and hates God, therefore it is only because of God that anyone is saved. According to him it is like we are all programmed to hate God and there is nothing we can …do about it, excepts hope that God calls our lottery number to salvation. If we do not have free will then our love or hate for God is an illusion because we didn’t make any decisions. Only moral free agents can love or hate, in Paul Washer worldview God is the Devil. It seems counter intuitive to preach at all if there is nothing we can do to help humanity get saved.”
“Thank you for exposing the likes of Paul Washer. He needs to repent and turn to the Christ of the Bible. Right now he is a poster child for the false doctrine of total depravity. He is leading many to the gates of hell.” Jeff Flaig
Paul Washer is an example of a very confused individual and convoluted theology. He preaches on giving up all, repenting, and suffering, etc., and yet, Washer is a rank calvinist which by definition means that there is no need to obey Jesus’ commands to give up all, repent, or suffer since it’s all be predetermined and man has not choice anyway – he is forced to love, worship, and serve the LORD due to a supposed divine predetermination.
If you wish to hear some hard, Bible truth, perhaps you may wish to tune in to people who honestly endeavor to speak the full-counsel of God’s Word. Find those who aren’t preach Calvinistic poison that robs the fear of God from your heart, makes you lukewarm and at ease in Zion, and ready for hell. Here are some recommended sources:
- Leonard Ravenhill (various places on the net have his sermons)
All of these men use the Authorized Version / King James Bible. All men should. Please pray for those who don’t yet see the purity of God’s preserved Word and the poison of the new versions.
Paul Washer is a rank calvinist which means all else he says would be vain to listen to because just “a little leaven leavens the WHOLE lump.”
A man (beginning with this fool – me) who does not know God’s Word thoroughly, has no business leading others because as we see in this case, they are leading many astray (2 Peter 3:17). They may be sincere to some degree, yet they are sincerely wrong. These men are intentionally ignoring large parts of God’s Holy Word due to holding to a tradition which is a heresy (Mark. 7:6-10, 13).
Some recently have put together video preaching mixes with Leonard Ravenhill, David Wilkenson, and also Paul Washer and Tim Conway. Those are misguided souls and that’s a deadly mixture. Beware.
Conway and Washer are false teachers. So many who are searching for divine truth have bought the package.
When we truly repent of our idolatry of mere men, we will see all men for who they (we) are even in our “best state … altogether vanity.” (Ps 39:4-5)
Washer’s calvinism is the little leaven that leavens the whole lump of his teachings. To teach hard like he does and then be a calvinist is an utter contradiction. With the calvinistic fatalism, why does ANYthing matter ……. When a person understands first what Holy Scripture clearly states and also the blatant contradictions of calvinism, he will then see why Paul Washer’s teachings are completely contradictory. he tries to cover things up by teaching that “calvinism is not the issue” when it really is – it is the poison.
Feedback:
While I was doing my research I found this youtube video by Paul Washer from Heart Cry Missionary Society who is also an ardent Amillennialist (A Roman Catholic doctrine) and dabbler in Contemplative Spirituality. Paul Washer asserts that an 18th month old baby is totally and utterly evil. How Paul Washer can make such a statement is beyond reason. I suppose when you are Divinely Chosen you can say the most ludicrous things. This is a very shocking video. John Calvin’s reign of terror:
- He had Servetus burned at the stake on October 27, 1553,
- Gentile beheaded in 1566,
- 34 women burned at the stake after accusing them of being witches who caused a plague that had swept through Geneva in 1545,
- “Freckles” Dunant dies under torture in February 1545 without admitting to the crime of spreading the plague,
- Several men and women are apprehended including a barber and a hospital supervisor who had “made a pact with the devil.” in 1545,
- 2 women executed by burning at the stake for sorcery by spreading the plague in March 7, 1545,
- Belot (an Anabaptist) chained and tortured – against infant baptism in 1545,
- 7 men executed concerning the plague outbreak in May 16, 1545,
- a child was whipped publicly for calling his mother a thief,
- a girl who struck her parents was beheaded,
- Jacques Gruet accused of writing a poster against Calvin, was arrested, tortured then executed in July 1546,
- and the list goes on, his victims ranging in age from 16-80.
If John Calvin was Elect, then so was Hitler! 58 murders is as good as 6 million.
Calvinism is a doctrine of devils, “another gospel” and those who peddle it are “accursed” and it doesn’t matter how Christian are sincere or well meaning they may appear (Galatians 1:6-9).
Satan will give people a million pounds of truth to kill them with that one ounce of poison. But calvinism has ample amounts of poison and no one who holds Scripture as final authority could possibly buy into it. “A little leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump.” (Galatians 5:9) Here is a library of posts exposing the roots and false doctrines of calvinism. Calvinism
Please share as many are taken in by this man and have elevated him above Christ / the very Word of God which is final authority
The words “sovereign grace” never appear in Scripture, neither does the fabricated concept invented by satanically-inspired calvinists. Yes God is sovereign and He sovereignly gave man free will. He forces no one to serve Him (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15).

A great deal that passes for the deeper life is nothing more or less than basic Christianity. There is nothing deeper about it, and it is where we should have been from the start. We should have been happy, joyous, victorious Christians walking in the Holy Spirit and not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh. Instead we have been chasing each other around the perpetual mountain.
What we need is what the old Methodists called a sound conversion. There is a difference between conversion and a sound conversion. People who have never been soundly converted do not have the Spirit to enlighten them. When they read the Sermon on the Mount or the teaching passages of the epistles that tell them how to live or the doctrinal passages that tell how they can live, they are unaffected. The Spirit who wrote them is not witnessing in their hearts because they have not been born of the Spirit. That often happens.”

The Book of 2 Peter Narrated [podcast]
Chapter 1
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 and to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost
Chapter 2
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. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 and spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 and delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10 but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13 and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14 having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15 which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16 but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Chapter 3
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 that ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3 knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Abiding
“Be thou in the Fear of the LORD all the Day Long” [podcast]
“Be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.” Proverbs 23:17
One sources notes that ….
“Fearing God means having a profound, reverent awe of His holiness, power, and majesty, recognizing His supremacy and our dependence on Him, which leads to wisdom, humility, and obedience, rather than terror. It’s a posture of respect that involves taking God seriously, hating evil, living with integrity, and prioritizing His will in all aspects of life, all while balancing this with the knowledge of His love and mercy as a Father.”
We are to let God be our “dread.”
“Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.” Isaiah 8:13
We are to tremble at His Word.
“For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.” Isaiah 66:2
“Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.” Isaiah 66:5
“Exodus 20:20 ‘And Moses said unto the people, Fear not; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.’ When you truly fear the Lord you will not live in willful sin and disobedience. Because you know He is a holy and Just God and must punish sin! Hebrews 10:31 ‘It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.’ Just that verse along should instill the fear of the Lord in anyone’s heart!” Karen Cochran
There are many benefits to fearing God and one of them is a “clean” heart and life.
“The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.” Psalms 19:9
A Great Prayer to Pray Daily
“Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.” Psalms 86:11
Fearing God brings “strong confidence”, blessed children, and departing from the snares of death ….
“In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. 27 The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.” Proverbs 14:26-27
Anyone who is presently living in sin instead of abiding in the Savior, simply does not fear God.
Those who fear the LORD are crucified with Christ and thereby being raised up and overcoming sin.
“For he that is dead is freed from sin.” Romans 6:7
Another Great Prayer Daily
“That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;” Ephesians 3:16
Having a heart so peaceful there is no fear of anything evil.
“But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33
“Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. 26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.” Proverbs 4:25-27
“For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.” Proverbs 3:26
“But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” 1 Corinthians 9:27
“Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.” 1 Corinthians 10:12
The earliest followers of Jesus “were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.”
“Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.” Acts 9:31
The fear of the LORD brings deliverance – Psalms 34:7-10
“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.” Psalms 34:7-10
The beginning of wisdom is truly fearing God:
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10
The fruit of fearing the LORD:
“The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.” Proverbs 8:13
Prayer: Unite my heart to fear Thy holy name LORD. Teach me Your wisdom. In Jesus’ name, amen LORD.

Apostasy
The Sensual Seduction and Solicitation of the Modern Church!
Spiritual Seduction is a Reality!
“How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly LUSTS. 19 These be they who separate themselves, SENSUAL, having not the Spirit.” Jude 18-19
Of this passage, one disciple notes:
“The dictionary defines sensuality this way: sen•su•al (sen shu – al) adj.
1. Relating to or affecting any of the senses or a sense organ; sensory.
2. a. Of, relating to, given to, or providing gratification of the physical and especially the sexual appetites.
b. Suggesting sexuality; voluptuous.
c. Physical rather than spiritual or intellectual.
d. Lacking in moral or spiritual interests; worldly.
“The Holy Spirit here warns us concerning the Last Times when people would be Sensual not having the Spirit. These are people who would enter the churches not simply people outside the churches; else we would not need to be warned against them. It is commonly felt that “Sensual” always is synonymous with sexuality; however the context here is with regards to the physical ‘senses’—’Feelings’ and ‘sensations’. We have five senses; Sight, Sound, Touch, Taste and Scent. We are told that we ‘walk by faith’, as opposed to walking ‘by sight’. -2 Corinthians 5:7 ‘For we walk by faith, not by sight’. This is simply a reminder that our lives must not be governed by our feelings, our senses. Back in the sixties one of the philosophies of the world was always, ‘If it feels good, it IS good’. Another question that is often asked is, ‘Is this so wrong if it feels so right?'”
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 14:12
Most of the social media messages tell us, continually remind us that God loves us but nearly none of them inform us that the God who loves us, sent His Son to die on a cross for us, and requires and commands us to be “crucified with Christ.” (Galatians 2:20; Romans 8:29; Colossians 3:3) Beware of the half-truth false gospel of today! We must walk in the original Gospel – all of it – if we are to escape and not be “Led away with the error of the wicked.” (2 Peter 3:17)
False prophets will speak about seeking the supposed presence of God yet never preach on the cross, personal holiness, or obedience. Beware.
The only way we can prevent being deceived is by astute study and belief of God’s Word whereby we are able to rightly divide His Word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).
One saint writes: “Throughout the whole world error and truth travel the same highways, work in the same fields and factories, attend the same churches, fly in the same planes and shop in the same stores. So skilled is error at imitating truth that the two are constantly being mistaken for each other. It takes a sharp eye these days to know which brother is Cain and which is Abel!”
Those who do not submit to God in their daily personal life, calling upon the LORD to circumcise and purify their hearts, will be caught up in and snared by sensuality. They will live by the senses, the flesh, and not the Spirit and be sent by God Himself a “strong delusion” so that they “believe a lie” and are ultimately “damned.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)
Some seek the rush of a sensual feeling instead of the reality of the risen Savior – through the cross life!
“I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.” Revelation 3:1
HAVE you noticed how these new lightweight “churches” brag about their “Top 10 Core Values”? What a joke! In other words they pick out 10 socially acceptable things most people will like and that’s their top 10. And they do this instead of simply announcing that they endeavor to adhere to the whole of the Bible. KJB. Lame.
The primary way God leads His NEW Testament church is by the Holy Scriptures and not self-appointed false prophets and false apostles (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Psalms 119:105; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.).
Those who pretend to be today’s prophets aren’t grounded in the written Word! RUN!
Scripture often warns us of those who would seduce us away from Christ – just as an adulterous woman seeks to seduce a husband away from his wife!
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” Mark 13:22
“These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.” 1 John 2:26
“Not Withstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.” Revelation 2:20
“And this I say (here’s the reason I write you!), lest any man should beguile you with enticing words … As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” Colossians 2:4, 8-10
“Church” attendance was never ordained by God to displace, to replace the personal study of His Word. Church membership endears the people, the prey, to the organization and it’s leaders and members and not to the LORD Himself. This has displaced the individual priesthood and fellowship God ordained for each and every individual believer. Lots of people replace personally diligently seeking the LORD with going to “church.” They either merely dabble with or don’t even personally study God’s Word for themselves and yet are members in good standing at these local entertainment centers many call “church.” The pastors have sold them on this lifestyle by promoting and emphasizing church membership and not discipleship.
Seminaries are wolf factories. The protestant seminaries were infiltrated by the vatican jesuits decades ago and are now marketing schools producing greedy wolves who set up church busine$$ to market the gospel – which is the meaning of taking the name of the LORD in vain! (Exodus 20:7). Satan’s Seminaries Exposed!
“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” Exodus 20:7
To take the name of the LORD in vain is to use His name for any other purpose except true, honest worship of Him! Those who use the name of Jesus to make dishonest gain by exploiting people for their own self-serving purposes, are not guiltless before a holy God!
Many Seek the Presence and not the Person, the Face of Jesus Christ!
If you name the name of Christ, this writer, this disciple would encourage you to honestly search out this whole “seeking the presence” cult. Contemplative prayer and spiritual formation are a cheap counterfeit for a real walk with God. They substitute a real walk with Jesus wherein He commands us to seek and obey HIM, not merely His presence. When we do seek HIM and obey Him, He promises to manifest Himself to those who obey His Word (John 14:21-23).
Perhaps those who seek the presence of God and not the face of God, are simply looking for some kind of feeling. They have not truly repented and are self-willed and living out of a self-serving agenda.
God plainly told us that he will only give His presence to those who know, seek, and obey Him – and not those who merely seek His presence (John 14:21- 23).
Those who seek His HAND instead of His FACE are completely self-serving, cross-less idolaters!
“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his FACE continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
WE seek the PERSON of Christ and not merely the PRESENCE of Him. Beware of this deception saints. When we seek the FACE of the LORD, He will fill us with His Spirit and make His abode in and with us. Our part is to worship and obey Him and not to merely seek His presence. Many who are not seeking to know the LORD seek a feeling instead of seeking the face of the LORD! Beware of this idolatrous spiritual adultery. These same people are not studying and grounded in the Word or the cross of Christ.
Let’s look at who Jesus says truly loves Him:
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. … 23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14:21, 23
In this passage above, Jesus teaches us that His presence, He and His Father, abide in the lives of those who are His (born again) and presently obeying Him.
Those who love Jesus seek His Word and obey Him. These true disciples, God manifests Himself to. These are those He chooses to make His abode with and not those who simply seek to exploit the LORD for a feeling they call His presence. Beware!
Many today seek a feeling, a sensation and not the Savior! They’ve allowed the false leaders of today to mislead them.
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away … Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:5,7
Those not submitted to the authority, the power of God which is Christ, have only a mere “form of godliness.” As was specifically foretold, today we see the fulfillment of Paul’s warning where we have so many with a mere “form of godliness.” In their daily lives they deny, reject “the power” or the authority of Jesus to reign. When Jesus reigns in a life, His cross is central to that person’s life. They are grounded in the cross – the crucified life – without exception.
Yet today we see some who never grow after being saved because false ministries have intercepted them from the LORD. Those false prophet ministries emphasize any and everything except Jesus Christ!
The vast majority of today’s pastors are sensually soliciting their prey to worship at the altar of self and not soundly grounding their audience in the cross and sound doctrine which is God’s written Word!
So many run to pack themselves in with the herd, to get turned on in what is supposed to be praise and worship. Some of it is a hollow sound and mere lip service.
“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” Matthew 15:8
The hoards consist of the same souls who do not daily, diligently seek the LORD in His Word and a set apart life of prayer (Matthew 6:6; 2 Timothy 2:15). They do not live a crucified life! (Luke 9:23-24; Galatians 2:20, 24, etc.) They are “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” because they are not being grounded in the Word of God.
The powder puff pansies use fake news “bibles” instead of the KING JAMES BIBLE.
Any leader not getting you into God’s Word for yourself, is absolutely a wolf! Run!
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
The Witchcraft of the Modern Church!
There is no instance in the 27 books of the New Testament canon where God’s people gathered to be entertained and enamored in what the modern church falsely claims to be praise and worship.
Those false ministries who stage these events are appealing to your natural senses, your emotions. They are on a marketing journey – to sell their prey into a community and not to root them in Christ!
Proof? Name 5 people you know who attend such false churches who can quote just 5 Bible verses they’ve memorized. Case closed!
Seeking and Knowing the LORD Himself!
“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians 3:10
Jesus told us that the chief purpose that He came is that we might know Him and the Father. Such a cardinal, central Gospel truth is never heard in modern apostate churches today!
“And this is life eternal (the whole divine reason for it), that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3
The cross reveals your sin, and God’s love, not how wonderful you are! Repent!
Beware of this “knowing the Tangible Presence” idea. Spiritual formation and contemplative prayer is heresy! These heretical systems are rooted in the occult and perpetrated by “many false prophets” which Jesus specifically warns us “shall deceive many” (Matthew 24:11). Christ’s true disciples today live BY FAITH not feelings (2 Corinthians 5:7). True followers of Jesus live by the Word of God and not by their senses, their feelings (Psalms 119:105; 2 Timothy 3:16-17). Yet, many today are being led to conjure up a feeling, not realizing they are summoning up evil spirits that pose as the Holy Spirit of God – another Jesus, another gospel, another spirit (2 Corinthians 11:2-4, 11-15). Those who seek an experience instead of seeking the face of the LORD, will be misled by evil spirits and false prophets (1 Chronicles 16:11). Many today are sensual and not truly spiritual in the biblical sense. There is no cross at the center of their lives (Colossians 3:3). Their daily life is not rooted in Christ – the cross! They have been led by the self-serving wolves of today’s modern church to get addicted to a feeling instead of growing in grace and obeying the LORD and Savior Himself. Self-idolatry. They love to go do what some falsely call “praise and worship” to get that feeling. Praise and worship are biblical and yet, not what many have made it out to be. There are many houses of worship if you will, which do not have Christ, the cross, at the center and therefore are not worshiping the LORD by teaching the pure, sound doctrine of the Word of God – the King James Bible. These ravenous wolves know how the church busine$$ works and so they front with a good band, good music, using young, gifted people as their pawns as they stage their deceptive exploitation, hiding behind that good music! Beware saints.
Wolves entertain goats and market their church busine$$ to grow, to gain nickels, noses, and numbers. True under-shepherds ground God’s people in the daily cross, in the fear of God, and in the sound doctrine which is the written Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17; 4:2-4; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.).
This is a big part of the end time deception we were often warned of….
“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 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Have you ever been part of this type “church”? I sure have. Think about it. If you’re like myself, you enjoyed the praise and worship (to some degree) and yet, were left empty due to the lame “word” and lack of biblical teaching. Can anyone relate?
In any given town in America, one can search high and low, near and far, and never find even one pastor who is true to God. Is this not a fulfillment of prophecy?
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 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; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4
If you still believe that most pastors today are true, stay deeply in God’s Word daily and your discernment will change. You will begin to realize that over 90% of today’s pastors are “accursed” wolves and we know this because they do not preach the original Gospel that Christ and His holy apostles preached and gave us (Jude 3).
Modern church false gospel …. No repentance, no sin, No judgment, no holiness, no cross, No warnings to beware of false prophets and heresies, no return of Christ for a spotless – sinless – bride, no Christology (study of Christ!) …
Those who preach any other gospel other than the original and complete Gospel of Jesus Christ, are “accursed.”
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 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. 9 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.” Galatians 1:6-9
Then Paul reveals why false leaders do not preach the original, the real and whole Gospel of Christ – because they love self and therefore fear and cater to mere men and not Jesus Christ!
“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.” Galatians 1:10

The only grounds calvinism has is that it’s false doctrine.

@ Casen – Agreed – actually stretching quite a bit. Calvinism without a doubt has sound Biblical grounds. Also, the anger and hostility displayed on this site is palpable and a red flag to me.

Hello. Anyone not alarmed at evil, such as calvinism, is suspect. This seems to be an evidence of desensitization, conditioning, a lack of holding to the truth of God. Satan knows how to pepper in lies, amidst lots of truth, and yet the end is still death (Galatians 5:9). Calvinism is absolutely a diabolical system of heresy. All 5 points of calvinism, as defined by calvinists, are false. The historical roots of calvinism https://safeguardyoursoul.com/calvinisms-origins-and-historical-roots/

Take a look and please explain how calvinism has biblical grounds, other than when tied with doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1-2; Genesis 2:17; 3:4, etc.). The historical roots of calvinism https://safeguardyoursoul.com/calvinisms-origins-and-historical-roots/

Paul Washer teaches scripture. He’s spread the true gospel to millions of people all over the world precisely because he is reformed and believes the doctrines of grace. You are promoting a man-made, works based religion. You know nothing of the regeneration of the heart or the power of the true Gospel. You must cry out to God for the forgiveness of your sins and cast yourself on him. You have believed the teaching of Satan and you believe that you must save yourself, and keep yourself saved in your own power. Repent and turn to Christ, the only one who can regenerate your heart. All who are truly born again will not go on willfully sinning or doing Satans bidding as you are. Eph 2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Those demons that control your life have been triggered at the truth. Washer is spreading calvinism which is anything but the true Gospel. He’s preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Paul Washer is reformed which means he’s a calvinist heretic – following in the steps of the murderous fraud John Calvin who had over 60 people murdered for their beliefs, because they disagreed with him. That’s a historical fact. Compare: Did Jesus and His holy apostles ever inflict physical harm on anyone, for any reason? Not once. So you tell me I need to repent…yet you are a calvinist and so why do you believe I have free will to repent? Do you not see the convoluted hypocrisy here?
All 5 points of calvinism are heresy. Just one verse needed to flip the applecart of calvinism – “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2
Repent now sinner. When you do, you will lay down your life in this fleeting world, you will deny self, take up the cross daily, and follow Jesus for real – ceasing to hide like a coward behind the doctrines of calvinism.
The same demons behind John Calvin, who admitted he got his false doctrines from a catholic named Augustine, are behind Paul Washer. Take a look:
