Joshua Harris Denounces Christ
By Caleb Parke | Fox News
“By all the measurements that I have for defining a Christian,” he (Joshua Harris) added, “I am not a Christian.”
Author Joshua Harris, after announcing the end of his marriage, is now kissing his faith goodbye.
Harris, the author of the best-seller “I Kissed Dating Goodbye,” a book he authored in 1997 that he later renounced after shaping purity culture for many millennial believers, revealed that he is stepping back from his faith. In an Instagram post, he also apologized for his previously held views, including “bigotry” to the LGBTQ community.
“The information that was left out of our announcement is that I have undergone a massive shift in regard to my faith in Jesus,” Harris wrote.
The former pastor of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, Md., recounted several things he has apologized for in the past: “my self-righteousness, my fear-based approach to life, the teaching of my books, my views of women in the church, and my approach to parenting to name a few.”
But there’s one group he specifically wanted to add: “the LGBTQ+ community.”
“I want to say that I am sorry for the views that I taught in my books and as a pastor regarding sexuality. I regret standing against marriage equality, for not affirming you and your place in the church, and for any ways that my writing and speaking contributed to a culture of exclusion and bigotry,” Harris wrote. “I hope you can forgive me.”
Harris received mixed reviews — support and some pushback — for his latest announcement. By Caleb Parke | Fox News

Joshua Harris is openly apologizing to the LGBT movement which can only mean one thing – that he has departed from Christ. Don’t be deceived by those pretender counterfeits who do not truly fear God and so will seek to cover up this sin (Galatians 1:10). Joshua Harris is an apostate and likely a sodomite himself now and therefore is now justifying what God calls sin and an “abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22)
“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
Like all who depart from the faith, Joshua Harris and his wife got out of the Word and therefore backslid. Jesus says that once saved, you must “continue in my word”, one must “abide (continue)” with Him or be cast into the fire (John 8:31-32; 15:6, etc.).
“If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6
Like the thousands who departed from Christ after He fed their bellies, Joshua has openly rejected Christ.
“From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” John 6:66
Those who denounce and do not believe and walk in the revelation of God’s Word, are “not of God.”
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
As you can see in what he wrote in his ‘coming out’ of Biblical Christianity, he now sympathizes with sodomites. Read graphic on this page of his own words. Jesus says:
“He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.” Matthew 12:30
Joshua Journeys from Jesus
“The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.” Proverbs 15:24
LOTS of people using the word “journey” today. Joshua Harris is one of them. When you hear this word used, most of the time it’s being used by a lawless rebel who is doing their own thing and wants to be left alone about this revolt. Let’s make it clear…. If you are not truly born again and journeying through the truth of God recorded in Holy Scripture, the Bible, you are on a journey to hell and in utter need of repentance before it’s too late.
“The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.” Proverbs 21:16
Today, God is calling you to trash your self-serving, God-less journey by true repentance and by believing on the LORD Jesus Christ to be saved – before it’s too late. You are a sinner and their can be nothing found in your on your “journey” except sin and depravity (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:10, 23; 7:18). The only reason you are “journeying” – running – is because you are running from God.
Making Peace with God | Fresh Start with God
“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 24:10-13
Joshua Harris’ apostasy especially comes as no surprise in that Harris is a pastor of a “sovereign grace” church. Any time you hear the words “sovereign grace,” you know that’s a calvinist term and therefore you are dealing with a heretic. Calvinism is Poison.
“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.” 2 Peter 2:20-21
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Departing from the Faith is Possible
“But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. … Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;” Hebrews 3:6, 12-14
