People seeking God, hungering for what is missing in their lives – JESUS – is a blessing. Yet wolves who capitalize upon, who exploit, and make merchandise of these people is diabolical~! (Matthew 21:15-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3, etc.).
BREAKING: Like it or not, you’ve been played for the fool…. if you bought this as a revival from God…. more proof. Does the Almighty now condone sodomy? Has He changed?
SICKENING STUPIDITY: Delusionally, you still have gullible prey, God-less rebels saying things like “But it’s real, God is in Asbury.”
Fake, staged “revivals” are a reality. Asbury is just the latest. Let us learn to discern (1 Thessalonians 5:21; 1 John 4:1).
Should this “abomination” of “effeminate” men be accepted or exposed?
REPLY: He’s everywhere in HIS universe….but that doesn’t means He’s blessing sin, which He will not coexist with and condemns (Psalms 5:4; Habakkuk 1:13). Flashpoint: God is “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) Explain this video below … Openly sodomite at Asbury – *IF YOU STILL BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS LEADING YOU TO DEFEND THIS DELUSION, YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO REPENT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. [youtube video of Elijah Drake, openly sodomite, approved and not rebuke at asbury]
“There is a big difference in ‘all HAVE sinned’ and those who continue to practice sin while claiming to be a preacher or evangelist! Seriously, I am so sick of that mantra being used (by wolf defenders) anytime a watchman does their job and warns!” Gloria Marshall Sykes
When there is sin in the camp, and no repentance nor call to repent, such a place, an assembly, an organization, a people, cannot possibly have the blessing of God who is Holy. Instead of having God’s blessing, they are “accursed.”
“And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.” Joshua 6:18
Romans 1 details the final stages of apostasy of any nation and how the acceptance of homosexuality is the sign of a people who’ve been sent “strong delusion”, who’ve been turned over by God for having “pleasure in them that do them” (the sin, the sodomy), instead of naming it as sin and calling them to repent (Romans 1:32).
“A true Holy Spirit revival does not bring false religions and movements together in unity; neither does it make people who are living a sinful lifestyle feel comfortable and at peace without full Biblical repentance. If it does, it’s a counterfeit. … We are ripe for the greatest deception of all as the one world church is developing preparing for the arrival of the anti-Christ! We will soon witness a deeper display of power; but it will be a counterfeit! The true Christ is coming sooner than you think!” Steven Harmantas
More clear evidence that Asbury is not of God:
“Is the emphasis coming out of Asbury Jesus or the Holy Spirit? Are people talking more about the Holy Spirit or Jesus? The role of the Holy Spirit is to point people to Jesus. From the personal videos and interviews I’ve seen so far it’s all about the Holy Spirit. This concerns me.” Hodos Living
Exactly… IF the Holy Spirit were truly working there, and He’s not, JESUS would be being glorified. See John 16:13-14. WHO did Jesus say the Holy Spirit, when He’s truly working, is exalting?
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:” John 15:26
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” John 16:13-14
“I felt several months ago the Lord was telling me to warn of a counterfeit “revival” that would center upon the Holy Spirit rather than Christ. I have stated this publicly many times on my live Bible studies I do here on Facebook. I did not think it would come this soon! Any true revival will be centered upon Christ and His Finished Work…it will be a call to the church to come back to her Foundation!” Karen Hartnett
Jesus commanded His people to know/discern people and leaders “by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:16, 20)
The current fake “revival” has nothing to do with the Holy Spirit…. same thing we see in the NAR and WOF cults right? It’s 100% self-serving and not about seeking, knowing, loving, worshipping, and obeying Jesus Christ. They are not abiding in Christ and therefore the fruit of the Spirit is not being produced in them. Read John 15 and Galatians 5:22-23.
“Philippians 2:3-11 is true revival. Who should be exalted: JESUS – that is the will of God. (Vv. 9-11) I am of the opinion now that most theological seminaries are in actuality white-washed cemeteries from the shear lack of Biblical knowledge and understanding of the ways of the God they proclaim to serve.” Jon Crane

The NAR and WOF cults are not in Christ at all…. if they were the fruit of the Spirit would confirm such.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“Why can’t you all just be excited that people are coming together to praise the Lord.”
REPLY:
Well WHO is being worshipped???? God’s Word is no where to be found and openly being violated…. so how can it be the LORD who is being glorified?
Asbury is a false “revival” and every Bible believer sees it. Notice when the young people speak of Asbury, they never mention the WORD of God and love to use God’s name in vain by saying it’s an “experience with the Holy Spirit” while it contradicts the WORD of God. There is no teaching or preaching of God’s Word at asbury which alone reveals it’s false.
“True revival begins with attention to Scripture. Examples are Nehemiah, Uriah, the Day of Pentecost, etc. It is the application of God’s Word to our lives that leads to revival.” Cliff Denney
You cannot get rid of the darkness of sin in your life unless you hear and obey the Word of God which begins with the necessity, the divine command to “REPENT.”
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
Concerning how these staged fake “revivals” attempt to make celebrities out of their prey, instead of servants of Christ, Khrista Nelson writes:
“When the Holy Spirit is present, it causes one to preach Gods word with BOLDNESS! I don’t see any fluff after people were filled with the Spirit in the Bible. It’s interesting that the preaching the Holy Spirit caused in the Bible caused those men to be imprisoned and killed!!! Today, a documentary gets created and it’s all over the news station. Everyone LOVES it! Even those hearing it that are under a false gospel. What does that tell you?”
THAT WAS FAST hmmmmmm…. They created a video promoting the Asbury “revival” using a bunch of empty, gullible students. So that’s fast ….like as in, this is all scripted, planned, staged to deceive. Beware! … Now the promotional videos are coming out. Remember these are just gullible kids…. and any of us who have been to Bible college know fully well that it just doesn’t get any more shallow than Bible college students who are open to anything that comes in the name of the LORD. They speak of “more of God’s Spirit”, again NO mention of the written Word much less astute attention given to it.
The promoting of this “revival” should make us wonder why a revival God is doing needs to be promoted so vastly. And it was being promoted immediately after it started. hmmmm Of this, sister Khrista Nelson writes:
“What was also fast is the labeling it a revival the day some students decided to hang back and extend a chapel service. Like within hours it was out that there was a revival happening. Weird! Also, WHY has nobody (that I have seen) from Asbury or in any of these testimonies mentioned anything about the upcoming planned collegiated day of prayer that was planned and to be hosted AT Asbury about REVIVAL! Like, isn’t that relevant? It’s like nobody wants to mention it… Except the people who are skeptical.”
In my estimation this is a completely planned, contrived, staged, fake “revival” and those who hung back were very likely paid to do so.
Could it be that fake “revivals” are for lazy people who refuse to study God’s Word for themselves and walk with Him?
The written Word of God reigns supreme in Christ’s kingdom. Anyone not stringently studying, meditating upon, and walking out the words of God, the Bible, is not a disciple of Jesus. With the psalmist, the true follower of Jesus declared:
“Thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psalms 119:105
It doesn’t matter who YOU think God is, SINNER. He can only be known by WHO HE says HE is in HIS Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live (have eternal life) by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
Let me pause here to say what a blessing it is to see so many of Christ’s authentic disciples boldly rise up with HIS Word and “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” (Jude 3)
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” 3 John 4
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
We see all around us today professing Christians who “have pleasure” (accept, tolerate) in those things which God calls sin. In doing this, in not speaking the truth which when obeyed, makes men free, they have sided with evil and against the God they falsey claim to serve. In Joshua 6 and 7 we see the story of Israel being defeated at a town named Ai due to the sin of one man, Achan. Until that sin was dealt with, God’s people were going to suffer defeat. See also 1 Corinthians 5 for the importance of keeping all sin out of the campt – and that means not accepting anything that God calls sin in His Word, such as sodomy, homosexuality, fornication.
Lawrence Brown writes: “When I brought this guy (Asbury student Elijah Drake pictured above) up to Michael Brown, he said he spoke to leadership at Asbury and said the homosexuals at Asbury are celibate who admit that it is sinful. He’s clearly NOT calling it sinful. What lies. Michael Brown said I was slanderous and in sin. Yes and there’s many effeminates around today.”
MY REPLY TO LAWRENCE:
Yes brother even “effeminate” men are going to hell 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. It’s a perversion of HIs creation, creative design and order.
The unchanging God will not bless any people, any camp that retains, and in this case, celebrates that which He calls sin – His wrath is revealed from heaven against them! (Romans 1:18)
“Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.” Joshua 7:11-12
Jesus makes it clear that anything with a cursed root cannot possibly bear good fruit.
“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.” Matthew 12:33
These facts seem to make it even more obvious that this “revival” is staged by evil doers who are the architechs of the prophesied one world religion.
ASBURY IS THE OCCASION THAT IS CAUSING US TO SEE WHO IS THE LORD’S AND WHO THE COUNTFEITS ARE. WE are seeing in living color, the separation of the wheat and the tares, the disciples true to Christ and the rebels. Those who adhere to the Word of God are His – and all others are rebels and as sure for hell as if they were already there (John 8:47; Proverbs 13:13; Isaiah 5:24).
Let me add that it’s shocking to see the moral coward men who are fighting fiercely to defend sin and satan, all while claiming to be saved and telling you they’re going to pray for you. Talk about delusional! God has turned them over to “strong delusion” and that’s why they believe the lies instead of the truth, Damnation is coming. See 2 Thessalonians 2.
What is the difference between the true and the false Christians? WHO is “of God” and WHO is “NOT of God”? Jesus told us, did He not? Read this carefully:
“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
Stacy Strother writes:
“Yessir—the time will come, soon to AMERICA, as we see, and seems to have been happening in other countries for years, that men will not “endure/put up with sound doctrine,” they will become nauseated from the true preacher of the holy Word of God. They will then offer us up to the town leaders to be jailed and worse, possibly executed.
This persecution will come much from out of the “Christian,” community!
Let there be no mistake about it, our pulpits are filled with shallow minded, ecumenical preachers who have bought into the lie of Universalism.
There will be no mercy for the true preachers.
However, God will be with us!
Our heavenly reward will be worth it!
Blessings!”
“Prove (test) all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:21
Every true born again, abiding believer desires more of God in their life. John the Baptist cried out:
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30
The LORD died to forgive, to save all sinners – On that cross where He shed His precious blood, Jesus paid the full and only price for all sins (John 19:30; 1 Timothy 1:15; 2:4-6; 1 John 2:1-2, etc.). Yet He requires that the sinner repent. There is no alternative. There is no shortcut and anyone claiming to be serving Christ and not preaching repentance is 100% preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed” and absolutely a diabolical wolf (Galatians 1:6-9). You must you admit you have sinned against God, are 100% guilty, and fall upon His saving mercy at the cross of the LORD Jesus Christ and He will wash away all your sins in the precious blood of Jesus. | TIMES OF REFRESHING FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD!
Real REVIVING, in contrast with Satan’s counterfeits, brings the resurrection life of Christ! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12) The daily cross, the death and burial of the disciple guarantees the divine resurrection, the raising up of God! Reviving only happens when we repent afresh – re-turn to the LORD – lay down our lives, deny/die to self, take up the cross, and follow Jesus (not men or their staged “revivals”).
“I can’t even stand the word ‘revival’. It’s so fake and man-made , they slap a label on it ‘revival’ and nowadays they have social media to spread the news about their ‘revival ‘ instead of only banners with revival on it.” Jeannette
The word does not even appear in the Word, the notion of “revival” has been grossly misused for fleshly agendas for at least decades if not more.
“Revive” appears 7 times in the Bible. The word “revival” appears no where in God’s Word and it seems to be a concept sinful men in ministry have utilized to exploit people. That is, such as when they plan a “revival meeting.” Yet the cross is “daily” and Jesus promises to raise up anyone who dies to the self-life so He reigns in their life (Luke 9:23-24; John 12:23-25; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.).
“Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” Psalms 85:6
“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.” Psalms 138:7
“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” Isaiah 57:15
THE POWER OF JESUS THAT WORKETH IN US: RAISED UP IN THE POWER OF CHRIST
Ask Him and when you do, know that God is able to do far above anything you ask of Him!
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:20
Seems to me that the lukewarm (who shall be spued) love endless, mind numbing “praise and worship” sessions and yet don’t even study the Word of God daily, the King James Bible. Do they roll up their sleeves, evangelize, feed the poor, minister to others?
Is Asbury from God ?
“As much as you want to believe this revival is read, Todd Tomasella is correct. Unlike Todd I AM unwilling to be engaged in a debate but I do urge you to simply look at the origin of this faux ‘revival’ (Lucifer is their father figure).” Tye
Firstly, let it be soundly established in our minds and hearts, that a revival is not coming – a falling away is already here. This was prophetically foretold to us.
Note the words of Holy Scripture closely…. “A Falling Away First”, not a revival, will precede the Return of Christ.
“Let no man deceive you by any means (including by means of fake “revivals”): for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition…” 2 Thessalonians 2:3
More on this in a moment.
Asbury is NOT a revival of God – It’s the beginning of the final culmination of apostasy, a manifestation of a “FAMINE” induced by generations of false leadership! For false the epidemic of leadership, see Isaiah 9:16; Jeremiah 12:10; 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23; 2 Peter 2; Jude.
“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
Destruction follows:
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law (Word) of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
WHERE and WHEN there’s no intense and diligent studying of God’s written Word, it’s 100% of the time apostasy with no exception!
“At Asbury, there’s no talk of hell, repentance, sin, dying to self, and taking up your cross daily. There is no mention of ‘Ye must be born again’, nor is there any communication of separation, and not loving the world… just a sugar coated ear-tickling hippie false gospel being preached that the world loves.” C.T.
“They have no discernment. They have fear in their hearts and lack faith in Jesus, so they jump on whatever Christian bandwagon comes next. To me its a sign of desperation.” Kat
“The truth is what they do not like. They have itching ears. They are offended at the Word of God. Jesus said through Paul that they will not endure sound doctrine. They believe the lie, rather than the truth. It is Jesus they hate that is in you. Jesus said my doctrine is not of this world.” Darlene
“Unfortunately, too many people, Christians are guided by their emotions instead of the Word of God. Very few people actually read and take time to study the Word!” Angeli
“Sickening. Not the revival but religious folks mad at college kids praying and not clubbing. Get a life. Do something for Jesus instead of talking about people.”
REPLY:
Sounds like some demons manifesting here….. How does what you said here change the reality of this “revival” – what it is and what it is not? …. how does it prove biblically that this Asbury “revival” is authentically from God? So, you are saying that switching from one delusion (bar hopping) to spiritual delusionment/fornication is a good thing? Are you genuinely born again? The burden of proof is upon you to demonstrate that God’s Word is at the forefront and HE is being honored by those who believe and preach and teach HIS Word. Otherwise, the truth is that this is a fake, a false “revival.”
The following response was given to a man who was insisting that a sister in Christ “blasphemed the Holy Ghost” by discerning and exposing the Asbury delusion.
“With no fruit to prove it’s authentic and much fruit to prove it’s false, you conflate asbury with the Holy Spirit which means you’ve taken the name of the LORD your God in vain by putting His holy name on a ploy of satan. This is just how delusional you are. You’ve unfortunately not been a man of truth and so God has turned you over to “strong delusion” so that you will believe the lie, and you do… and you will be damned if you don’t repent.”
2 Thess 2
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; …
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be DAMNED who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
No Bible No God – If it doesn’t honor His Word, it doesn’t honor Him!
“I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Psalms 138:2
God’s written Word is God’s truth and God’s grace or love never ever negates His truth! HOW could anyone at Asbury possibly be repenting, being saved, born again, and sanctified when the Word of God is not even being presented?
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17
Read those words of Jesus again. If the truth, God’s Word, is being intentionally hidden from the people at Asbury, and it is, HOW could there possibly be true repentance and sanctification transpiring? Impossible!
“Absolutely and I wonder if there are actually curses being placed on people or a Kundalini spirit being unleashed. People could be worse off for attending. Nothing would surprise me.” Jennifer Leigh
“FOX NEWS interviewed some of the students who had attended. They only spoke of feeling peace and love and kept referring to the “God of unity”…” Melissa
“This (Asbury ‘revival’) is worse than shallow emotionalism. There is a powerful spirit present and it is not the Holy Spirit. These people are being deceived into submitting to an antichrist spirit – Paving the way for the forthcoming one world religion of love, peace and unity (not grounded upon and centered around Scripture or the Jesus Christ of the Bible).” Renee Courtland
“Way too many believers take the words of men and let their emotions and personal wishes take precedent over what God’s word says these days. Discernment is not desired, sought out or prayed for either.” Barbara
Lynne Parker writes:
“The ‘church’ has been primed for years to fall into this trap. Dominion theology rode into the church like a Trojan horse. The teaching of a great end time revival (which is opposite of the Word in which there will be a great falling away) coupled with a growing ecumenical ‘love fest.’ As well the Word has been oh so subtly downplayed for years. But Without the preaching of God’s Word what Jesus are we worshipping? individuals that are holding back or expressing concerns as they obey God’s Word to try ‘scrutinize’ the spirit behind it are met with angry scowls and outright disgust. Perhaps God is just pealing the onion so to speak. This is what happens when you do not have a love for the truth. I’m not professing myself to know it all – I’m sure I could use correction in interpretations on certain things but I’m close enough to God to know He is not playing a game. And yes, any professing Christian wants young people to come to Christ – but the right one of Scripture not ‘another Jesus’.”
I agree with both of our sisters:
“Most will probably go home and when the honeymoon is soon over (the emotional experience) they’ll forget the whole thing. Must have the Word of God, at least, if nothing else, hand out Bibles and provide Scriptural discipleship, follow ups etc. They need discipleship after conversion. Personally I doubt there’s true repentance going on at Asbury, in my opinion.” Teri J Willis

REVIVAL MESSAGE FROM TERRY R. GREEN:
“In 1999, I was at a conference with Bro. Don Brankel and we spent much time fellowshipping. After the service we were eating and talking and he told me about preaching at a large church that had been involved in certain “ revivals.” At the altar time he said there was all kinds of stuff going on. At one point while standing by the pastor in the Altar area, a man was crawling by them on all fours barking like a dog. The pastor exclaimed to Bro. Brankel, “ Wow! I wonder what he’s got?”
REPLY:
All these contrived “revivals” are false and people are starting to see it for what it is…. yet many also still love their darkness rather than getting honest and loving the light of truth (John 3:19-21; 2 Thessalonians 2).
“Isn’t it funny how this coincides with the one world religion opening the other day? …. Stay strong my brother we were going to witness a lot of this in the end of days.” R.
Since when does the world and known false ministries, the enemies of God, promote the Gospel? They don’t. What does that tell us of the Asbury “revival” which is being promoted by numerous ungodly outlets and known false prophets? (Fox Nes CBN, etc.) Consider these words of Jesus:
“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ...” John 14:17
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” John 15:19
The world is the opposing kingdom of satan and as such hates the true children and work of God.
“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” John 17:14
In light of this truth, the love being showed by the world for this Asbury “revival”, should raise the eyebrow of the discerning.
Speaking of Discernment…. the people who’ve attached their emotions to something, usually react violently when that something is questioned or exposed. Have you noticed?
CAN YOU HELP ME FIGURE THS OUT?
IF Jesus didn’t want His people to “know” (Gr. discern) people, namely “false prophets”… “by their fruits”, WHY O WHY did He say this:
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall KNOW (discern) them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? … 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:15-16,20
Many reading these words are victims of the fleshly revival schemes of the past. There are many involved, especially the young people, who simply want more of God in their lives, who are innocent. They are being misled by their handlers, those on the ground in Asbury, and those who operated from afar. Many are taken in by this fanfare of these staged “revival” who don’t yet know these are false and that they are being played. The evil ones are satan’s minions who planned and are perpetrating this fraud on the people which has an evil agenda behind it. God is going to judge every one of these animals – their “DAMNATION (in hell) slumbereth not.” (2 Peter 2) It’s more than abundantly clear that the elders at Asbury are apostate, antichrist wolves who have deliberately refused to establish sound doctrine and biblical order (Acts 15; 20; 1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; Titus, etc.).
“For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:” Titus 1:5
Those being misled have no idea that those which have perpetrated this, who are putting God’s name on it, are using them to an evil end, for their own self-serving agenda. And it’s Satan who is controlling those handlers. The enemy’s kingdom is one with great organizational structure with the agenda “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (Ephesians 6:10-18; John 10:10)
Let us be nourished up in the words of our God beloved saints. Our KING – JESUS – is coming (John 5:39-40; 1 Timothy 4:6; 2 Timothy 2:15, etc.). Beloved of God, let us get into God’s Word as if our life, our eternal souls depend on it – because they do! | Philippians Narrated
FACT: In every city in America there is praise and worship gatherings weekly. WHAT makes Asbury special? Nothing, other than the contrived fanfair surrounding it – which is all planned and many a biblically-illiterate dupe bought the package. Make no mistake: There’s an evil agenda behind it – whether you know what that agenda is or not.
There has to be a nefarious agenda behind Asbury because persecution comes from the world when there’s true revival, not praise. Remember all the persecution of the apostles and early church in Acts when God moved and saved souls and did miracles?

Anyone who thinks Asbury is an authentic “revival” is biblically illiterate or disobedient and in need of shutting out the noise and getting lost in true repentance, in the King James Bible, and holy prayer communion with the LORD – before it’s too late (Proverbs 18:1; Isaiah 66:2; Matthew 6:6; 2 Timothy 2:15).
Many of us have been to Bible colleges. The susceptibility abounds, The vulnerability of the young seeking souls is beyond legit. It’s an open target for Satan who breathes his evil, “strange fire” into the very dwelling place which is supposed to be the place of the worship of the LORD (Leviticus 10:1-2; Psalms 74:4-7, etc.).
Asbury is not a true revival. It appeals to the flesh, to the feelings, the emotions of the gullible instead of the hearts of men via the Word of God.
“I believe Christian’s have greatly underestimated the power of Satans deception. He can mimic or counterfeit the Holy Spirit. Our only defense as these last days grow more intense is the Word of God. Regretfully the church overall has been conditioned to expect a feeling of God’s nearness or expect some manifestation of God – it has become subjective instead of objective truth of God’s Word. This condition prepares people to accept lying signs and wonders. It is a dangerous thing to lean upon one’s own understanding and discern by how they feel.” Lynne Parker
Start, orchestrate something, nearly anything, and put God’s name on it by calling it a “revival”, promoting it, and bam it explodes – because it costs men nothing of themselves, it does not call them to come and to die, to lay down their lives and follow Jesus. This gullibility is due largely to youth, who are being exploited by the evil powers under Satan’s control (Ephesians 2:1-3). It is all planned, all to usher in the antichrist, the one world religion (Revelation 13-14).
The resume of godless people professing to be serving the LORD listed in detail in 2 Timothy 3 has never come to life like we’re seeing it manifest now.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, … 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;” 2 Timothy 3:1-7
Lynne Parker writes:
“Let us dear saints remember that absolutely the only defense we have to discern this revival is God’s Word. The psalmist writes that he hates every evil way and since the Holy Spirit is defined as the Spirit of Truth he will only anoint truth and lead into truth. We cannot go by our feelings or subjective experiences but only the Word of God – even though many people are involved, no matter how many ministers are going that direction. Certainly we desire individuals to repent from the works of darkness so let’s be clear: it is right to worship, right to pray, but all is founded upon Gods Word. Even the great psalmist of Israel, king David, at one point tried to carry the ark of the covenant on a new cart and it cost somebody their soul.  we cannot approach God, except only on his terms, and that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ out of an obedient heart.  consider please, and these facts can be proven. If you search them out, this school teaches aberrant theology they teach contemplative prayer practice, the lecto divina and do the Eucharist. All of these things are of the darkness. Now it seems to me that if this revival was indeed Holy Spirit led, the first thing up would be repentance of these practices and these abherant teachings would be repudiated publicly. Wow that would be great. Then revival would truly break out because it would be founded upon the blood of Jesus Christ alone consider as well that there are warnings of “another” Jesus. Christian unity can only be found on correct Christology, which is Calvary’s cross. We cannot worship in spirit and in truth with so much a mixture. This cannot be God as wonderful as it seems, and it is good that people have spiritual hunger, but they need the preaching of the cross. That we all be on the same page of one mind and one spirit in the unity of the faith. This is a huge deception to base whether or not this is of the leading of the Holy Spirit by our feelings or how many people are there. As well there are warnings in the Bible that there will be, a great falling away from the faith. This does not mean people will stop being religious or going to church. It means they will go after every wind of doctrine and leave Calvary. Please consider these sayings it’s Bible and it’s very frightening to watch happen. Let me say it again, true Christian unity is only through individuals who believe in the doctrine of the cross. This is why it’s through the foolishness of preaching that men are saved . awake and be sober. It’s almost over.”
To the righteous, this is merely a wake up call. The reality of Revelation 12:12 is at hand. Satan is coming down with great wrath, great deception in that which he is using the name of the LORD to promulgate. It’s all in vain, having a mere outward “form of godliness,” being led and filled with those who love self, who worship the god of self and therefore their emotions, pleasure,, just as did and does their father the devil (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:13-19; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-19).
“Those who do not receive the truth, the warning about Satan’s work via these ‘revivals’, have an antichrist spirit. No love for the truth.” Jeannette
ALL who do not receive the love of the truth of God are being sent by Him “strong delusion” so that they receive the lies, are deceived, and will be damned.
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition … 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2
Read 2 Thessalonians 2 each morning this week. Pray. 2 Thessalonians 2.
At Asbury, God’s Word is not being honored. Instead the false leaders are appealing to the emotions of their prey. It’s not based on divine truth. Bibles aren’t even being opened because God’s Word is not even being opened and communicated from the platform! On this point alone, we know this is all false. “The sword of the Spirit” is THE WORD OF GOD and so just WHAT spirit is active when God’s Word is not center stage? DEMONS! (Ephesians 6:17) WHERE the original Gospel of Christ on recrord, the Bible, the written Word, is not honored, it’s “another gospel”, and “another Jesus”, and “another spirit” (demons). See 2 Corinthians 11:2-5; 13-15; Galatians 1:6-9).
WHEN God is being glorified, HIS written Word is center stage. Otherwise He is not being glorified. Asbury seldom if ever even opens God’s Word, much less reading it, and when they do, it’s a fake “bible.” Apostasy!
If you are truly born again, please be exhorted to repent afresh and begin obeying the Word of God instead of worshipping at the altar of self.
“But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.” Matthew 16:23
So many whiners defending Asbury, insisting that all of us who are asking simple questions are just cessationist, pharisees, and/or jealous. Interestingly though, I’ve personally asked dozens of them to produce the plain, clear evidence that the Word of God is being preached as Asbury. Not one of them has even attempted to present proof. Interesting. What does Proverbs 18:13 tell us?
The Plain Biblical Pattern for the Gathering of God’s People is Anchored in His Written Word.
So when we see a gathering where the Bible is not opening and being read from, extensively, we know that that gather is run by false prophets – with NO exception, ever!
“And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose … So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:4, 8
“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live (have divine life) by bread alone, but by every word of God. … And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read (WHAT did Jesus open and read?). 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” Luke 4:4; 16-19
“And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures … And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 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. 12 Therefore many of them believed …” Acts 17:2; 10-11
FYI: The concern of many is what agenda is behind this “revival”. Thanking God for any of the good things God may be doing and yet we KNOW, as in many things, the Roman Catholic cult is the rat behind it. They are serving their murder-Jesus-again, blood-drinking cannibalistic Eucharist every day at Asbury. Also, wherever God is honored in reality, not in lip service, His WORD is front and center, not set aside, not ignored. Praise and worship in never seen as the dominant element of New Testament assembly worship. In fact, of the 4 elements of worship listed in Acts 2:42, it’s not mentioned as one of them. hmmmmm The Holy Scriptures have always been the grounding element in worshipping the LORD when His people met. In comparison, can anyone find a bunch of praise and worship sessions in the gatherings of the saints on record in Scripture? Not there.
When men speak for God, they speak HIS oracles, His words, the words of Holy Writ we have recorded in the Bible, the most important, power, and infuential book, ever, forever. When elders do not upholdy God’s written Word they demonstrate openly not to be HIS but rather in rebellion against Him!
“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written words) of God…” 1 Peter 4:10
Notice how when God’s Word is center stage, Christ is magnified and people get saved?
“And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine (the WORD) and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Acts 2:42
Does God’s Word inform us that “praise and worship”, singing songs, OR the WORD of God accomplish His will?
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
Alan Ray writes:
“I looked into Asbury. They’re going to bring in Rick Warren on Feb 23rd. I saw a video having WOF heretic Francis Chan all excited about Warren going to Asbury. It could have been suspected that this ‘experience’ would be directed by heretics, and likely by NAR and WOF in particular, because they like to lean on ‘supernatural’ charlatans. This Methodist church, (according to what I read) celebrates the ‘Eucharist’ daily. I went to a UMC a few years back, and found the pastor saying he was “very ecumenical”. He confessed having gone to Rome, and openly fellowships in that hogpen. So I’m not at all surprised Asbury is joining together with ecumenical mega-heretic Rick Warren and Francis Chan.”

TYPICAL MESSAGE RECEIVED BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT LIKE WHAT GOD’S WORD SAYS:
“But you’re sowing discord among the brothers and God hates that!”
REPLY:
So please explain how simply communicating GOD’s Word itself equals sowing discord among the brethren Waiting. What does the LORD command His people to do in Romans 16:!7-18 and Jude 3?
Was the apostle Paul sowing discord among the brethren when he openly, publicly rebuked the apostle Peter for his error in Galatians 2? Or, was Paul obeying God by defending the faith of the Gospel against those who would pervert it? (Romans 16:17-18; Ephesians 5:11; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 3-4)
HAVE you noticed all the people coming out of the woodworks, by the droves, to defend something they emotionally attached themselves to (instead of living by biblical truth)? Yet, you never ever heard from them when for years many of us have discussed, posted, communicated BIBLE truth. Why? Simple: the have no desire for the Word of God, to truly know the LORD. They don’t seek HIs face, otherwise they’d be doctrinally astute, full of the WORD of God.
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly (abundantly) in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
ALL who are not daily, diligently in God’s Word have already backslidden (2 Timothy 2:15).
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere (pure) milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2
When we get into God’s Word daily, it gets into us and it circumcizes our hearts – cutting away the sensual, the emotional – and grounds us on the bedrock of divine truth! It’s the “sword of the Spirit” … “quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit.” (Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12)
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12
ANY person defending or supporting the enemy of Christ will be judged into hell with that false prophet/movement/ministry (2 John 10-11). You’ve been warned.

It’s quite interesting how people who do not like the truth will judge you WHILE they are condemning you for supposedly wrongly judging. They could easily agree to disagree but they choose rather to attack. Doesn’t both me, just saying. Yet they get highly offended that you don’t buy into the delusion they are ensnared by (Provers 23:23).
REPLY:
So let me get this straight, YOU are pretending to be godly here (as you claim I was) and judging me… and of course, that’s ok, right? all while judging me for defending the faith which is the command of God? Jude 3 hmmmm
“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.” Jude 3
Let’s stick to the topic. Do you realize that in Matthew 7:1-5 Jesus is talking about hypocritical judgment and not all judgment? “JUDGE righteous judgment” says the LORD John 7:24…
So please give us all the Bible verses that instruct Christ’s true disciples to sit back and let other of His sheep, bought by His precious blood, be deceived by the “many false prophets” He so often warned us about…. waiting. Any person who doesn’t now see the evil of their way, the hatred they are displaying before the very Savior they claim saved them, is in deep darkness and in need of repentance before it’s too late.
If you are going to judge and defend, please tell and/or show us all about the cardinal Biblical doctrines of the Christian faith being preached at Asbury please. We’re all waiting because none of those who are foolishly defending this delusion have produced an iota of evidence for what they are falsely claiming. All due to not loving the truth of God and attaching their emotions to something instead of being true disciples who love God’s truth. God is sending them “strong delusion” and they will be “deceived” and “damned” to hell (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11
GOD’S WORD FORETELLS A GREAT FALLING AWAY AND NOT A GREAT REVIVAL IN THE LAST DAYS. READ 2 THESSALONIANS 2; 1 TIMOTHY 4:1-2; 2 TIMOTHY 3:12-13; MATTHEW 24:10-14, ETC.
When Jesus warns His followers about “MANY false prophets” who will “deceive MANY,” is the Son of God just being jealous?

The Danger of Bidding Godspeed to the Wicked [podcast]
“I am set for the defence of the gospel.” Philippians 1:17
HAVE you noticed how many people are so diligent to defend mere sinners, mere men and women and movements they like? This they do in the face of God’s Word, rejecting Christ for mere men/women. The divine mandate is to earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints and “MARK” deceivers (Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3). They seem not to truly love Jesus and therefore are more interested in defending mere men than defending the faith of Christ for His glory and the protection of His sheep for whom Jesus died (Philippians 1:17) These flesh defenders seem to have no concern for the millions of people their “Christian” heros are misleading.
“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.” Jude 3
WARNING: Those who bid Godspeed to false leaders will be judged with them! 2 John 10-11. Are you an accessory to the fact? Are you aiding and abetting the enemies of Christ? If so you will be damned with them. Repent now and get into the King James Bible.
“Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.” Proverbs 9:6
This fake “revival” has drawn many an older, ministerial counterfeit out into the open. Many of these men once walked with God and yet didn’t keep under their body and shall soon and foreever, irrevocably be “castaway” from the LORD into the fires of eternal damnation for forsaking the Son of God (1 Corinthians 9:27; 2 Peter 2, etc.). These are the apostates Scripture so often speaks of (2 Peter 2; Jude, etc.). Several men I’ve personally known for many years, who’ve been in ministry for decades, are coming out in defense of this delusion, manifesting their apostasy, their darkness. As the younger prophet fatally found out, never follow anyone except the LORD Himself. He was eaten by a lion which represents the “roaring lion” who is Satan (1 Kings 13; 1 Peter 5:8). Never follow any mere man – namely elders who have departed from the Word itself and Himself! Read Proverbs 3 and 4. Beware.
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes (leaders).” Psalms 18:8-9
Any person defending this delusion is living and judging things by their carnal senses and not the Word which proves they are apostate. They did not “endure to the end” and are fallen away (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Luke 8:13; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-39; Revelation 2-3, etc.).
“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:21-25
SMH: We continue to hear delusionals declare that we can’t judge asbury because we are not there in person, present. Is this true or false?… Absolutely false. #1 DOCTRINE must be judged AND it’s all on record that they are not preaching, teaching the Bible. Boom. Case closed. Time to wake up. NO NEED to patronize this delusion by going there. They are on full display. Sorry, but have you ever heard of a video platform called Youtube? “It’s all media”? So you can’t SEE what’s going on video the hundreds of hours of video available? It’s interesting how several people this week who had not themselves gone to KY but yet they swore this was an authentic revival. YET they told me I couldn’t possibly know asbury was true or false unless I went there in person. These people are in deep darkness.
Can’t Discern if Asbury is True or False until Going there in Person? Not.
For those who ingest and obey God’s Word, even our senses can become so attuned and molded by God’s truth, His written Word, that they can “discern good both and evil” by their “senses.” – “even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”
“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Hebrews 5:14
Those who are Christ’s and mature, seasoned by studying daily, learning, and walking in His Word, are like Paul, able to discern “as absent in body, but present in spirit.” They don’t even have to be present. Read this closely:
“For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,” 1 Corinthians 5:3-4
The Holy Spirit showed Paul that their was sin in the Corinthian church and that they weren’t dealing with it. Read 1 Corinthians 5.
Those who’ve seen how Satan has used his human agents, wolves in sheep’s clothing, over a long period of years, become accustomed to the devices of Satan to mislead God’s people and that’s why we are told not to be “ignorant of his devices.”
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11
“Brother Todd… I want to thank you for exposing this fake revival for what it is. God help us to stay vigilant and remain walking with the full armor of God in discernment always so that we don’t fall prey to Satan’s last day antics. He knows he has a short time left so he’s doing things big now like what you see in Asbury to confuse lukewarm Christians and others who don’t die to self or walk in the Spirit as a way of life. We need to pray without ceasing and stay covered in the blood of Jesus to not allow one small crack in our armor. Only those who die to self daily for the one who died for us, will make it to Heaven in these last days. Let’s pray for each other that we stay strong and thank you for preaching TRUTH as alway brother.” Suzanne
We are witnessing on full display, out in the open for all to see, the separation between the wheat and the tares, the sheep and the goats, the remnant from the counterfeits (Matthew 13 and 25). …. Now that the evidence is laid out to clearly prove the Asbury “revival” is a demonic delusion, ALL who still attempt, in any way, to defend or even more deceitfully, seek to insidiously cover for this enemy operation in Asbury, will expose themselves as tares. They will be rejected as heretics according to the command of God.
THIS IS A COMMAND OF GOD TO YOU – “A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition REJECT; 11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.” Titus 3:10-11
THIS IS A COMMAND OF GOD TO YOU – “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Matthew 7:6
Jesus told us it would be this way as His return neared. amen. Read Luke 21; Matthew 24
ALL these men who defended this asbury fraud should humble themselves before God in repentance (Isaiah 58; Ezekiel 18:30-32; Hosea 10:12, etc.). And IF they truly repent they WILL bring forth fruits to prove it – by coming out publicly and admitting they were dead wrong about the asbury delusion and apologize for anyone they misled and for bidding Godspeed to the enemies of Christ (Matthew 3:7-10). IF they do not come forth publicly, they are to be rejected as unrepentant, hell bound heretics, swine, dogs (Matthew 7:6; Titus 3:10-11).
The silence is telling. They leveled a firestorm to defend this demonic collusion in asbury and now, crickets. Does that seem to be evidence of moral cowardess?
ALL who get saved and then do not continue in the doctrine of Christ – Genesis to Revelation – are hell bound lost souls.
Read this carefully and please share – and notice how ALL who condone, defend, “bid Godspeed” to false leaders, will suffer the same eternal judgment which is hell (2 Peter 2:1-3):
1 John 7-11
“For MANY deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
It’s interesting that we have people who keep saying things like: “Well, let’s just give it time. I am not there in person so I can’t know for sure.” Nonsense! Here is my reply to one such man:
Can you see a car in a video and know it’s a car or do you have to travel to see that car in person???? Yes or no? YES! Let’s get real…..The point is, there are hundreds of hours of “ministry” at this supposed “revival” and little or no teaching of the Bible…. false revival 100% on that point alone. Period. Let’s stand up like men infused with the holy fear and Word of God…. and stop pandering, stop being spineless, now. It’s 100% FALSE. It’s catholic, it’s pro-homo, pro-sodomite which is pro “abomination” to God (Leviticus 18:22). JUST WHAT more does one need to know it’s false???? Repent and stand up now.
Charismatic, NAR (New Apostolic Reformation), evangelical, Catholic …. apparently it’s all mixed into one actually…. with Rome at the center, Ecumenical one world religion, perfect storm for the antichrist to take his temporary place, but it won’t last because Jesus is going to judge that whore – Revelation 17-18. | The Reign of Christ [podcast]

“John 4:24 “God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.” The foundation of Christian worship must be the truth. What’s happening in Asbury (though many are surely sincere) is that there is a mixture of unscriptural practices. This college teaches contemplative prayer for one thing. I saw an advertisement that they also celebrate the Eucharist. If God the Holy Spirit (the spirit of truth) were leading it the first thing up would be the repentance of these false teachings. There is no doubt they are ‘experiencing’ something but we don’t discern through subjective feelings but rather the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; 5:14). Anyone who disparages the Word of God – seeing it as unnecessary or not final divine authority – is clearly not of God – for He stated that He exalts His Word even above His name. Psalm 119 and 138:2, carefully studied, reveals the eternal importance of God’s Word itself – and it’s through the foolishness of preaching men are saved (1 Corinthians 1:21). The enemy HATES the Word of God and works through the spirit of religion (the harlot) to offer mankind any other alternative- music/worship (and I love it) but it has become the drawing card – this is idolatry in itself. Pure and simple, if Christ and Him crucified is not the focus, the object our love, worship, and heart affection, you will end up worshipping ‘another Jesus’ which the apostle warns us about (2 Corinthians 11:2-5). Contending for the faith is not for cowards. Picking up the cross and following the LORD Jesus of Scripture will be involving fewer it seems going forward.” Lynne

Revelation 17-18. This is 100% proof that anyone who didn’t see this as a fake revival is walking in absolute darkness and in need of truly repenting, going on an extended fast, crying out to God to have mercy upon them, to grant them true repentance, and to break and to strip them (Hosea 10:12; Ezekiel 18:30-32; Jeremiah 17). Beginning In the 1950’s the Jesuits began infiltrating the protestant seminaries and churches under the Vatican’s counter reformation campaign.
Christianity cannot, can never possibly be mixed with the antichrist pagan cult of Roman Catholicism.

“This is a highly dangerous national movement launched at Asbury. They even have a new Hollywood movie to go along with it: Jesus Revolution. Make no mistake this is antichrist and great deception. Yes, the actor that plays Jesus in the apostate show the Chosen. Kelsey Grammer and a number of other Hollywood people. Like The Chosen this is worldly entertainment with a Satanic agenda. Anytime the world supports something supposedly Christian, our radars should go up. We are at the end of days- never was the world more evil and against the true Jesus Christ of the Bible. God’s ways are eternal- they haven’t changed since the beginning of creation. If you don’t hear or don’t recognize the Lord’s voice, that is something to get serious about doing (hit your knees) today. ‘My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

“I too have concerns about this ‘revival.’ I too want young men and women to repent.
‘Spiritual Awakening’ brings a connection with NAR (New Apostolic Reformation witchcraft cult) beliefs and mystical practices.
* Asbury Theological Seminary seems to align with
Progressive Christianity (social justice).
Other concerns that can be found :
1. Contemplative prayer
2. Spiritual Formation- they list as FLEX
3. Eucharist
4. Lectio Divina …. Google
5. A quiet garden for meditation with a Labyrinth is Christianity mixed with mysticism.
Is the gospel of Jesus Christ being preached?
Are they praying that men and women will surrender their lives, repent, and obey?”

Also Rick Warren, retired pastor Saddleback church. Not sure if this should be called Ecumenical, or Interfaith? I think at this point Ecumenical. Everyday, new News 😥 NAR leakers are coming for the 200th anniversary of the 1st Asbury revival , …not sure if Bethal directly, but IHOP , and others with the NAR, New Apostolic Reformation are going ….including Rick Warren, an Ecumenical leader who headed up a group of NAR to go to meet the Pope. 🌹”“
“This is all leading into a one world church. The antichrist church of lies. People following the crowds. They are following that which feels good to the flesh. Read Matthew 24 KJB.” Darlene
It’s fitting that rebels love anything that does not cost them their own life in this world which God requires that they sacrifice in the daily cross. They want the promise but they’re not willing to meet the condition and so they are sitting ducks to run after anything that claims to be a revival. They will travel for many miles and spend thousands of dollars to go try to get a fix, a quick fix, but they won’t spend one minute praying and fasting and seeking God in the Word, in prayer, and fasting.
IF you don’t love, stand on, and obey the truth of God – HIS written Word – you are a godless hell bound rebel. Repent now sinner.
“IF ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But IF ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.” Isaiah 1:19-20
“IF ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT” – Talk is cheap (1 John 3:18). Only those who willingly, obediently repent, and obey God, prove they love and worship Him above all.
What you’ve got is a bunch of gutless quitters who refuse to repent right where they are, deny themselves, take up the cross daily and follow Jesus whereby He will revive and raise them up and propel them into victory. So all you have to do is stage a fake revival and all the gullible come running from far and wide to support and to defend such a catastrophe that is going to bear no fruit for the glory of God. God works by the economy of the cross, which means you die and are buried and He raises you up. That will never change, and anybody walking outside of this cross life is not increased. They have rejected Christ, and that’s why they run to get their fix which only perpetuates them in their delusion.
Defenders of this fraud have provided no biblical proof that this is an authentic revival from God. The earmarks of a biblical revival are not present. When there’s no repentance and the cross there will be no reviving or raising up or resurrection power of God manifesting.
Regrettably, this is just another fake revival that is misleading God’s people by leading them to believe they don’t have to repent and obey God by being daily crucified with Christ (Romans 6). It pretends to give them another way, a shortcut, It doesn’t have the earmarks of being truly of Christ, according to the original Gospel.
The whole covid/death vax scam was a test and as you know, so many gullible people took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Well Asbury is a test and as you can see by the interaction on my social media pages, many have taken the bait. They are ripe for the antichrist picking. The Vatican is laughing at the stupidity. Beware saints. Be not deceived. Read Revelation afresh this week beloved. Jesus is coming.
Cross-less counterfeits refuse to die – and that’s what this is all about. Counterfeits are easy to play, to deceive. All you have to do is make a false promise to them, to offer them another way, a way around dying to self, right where they are, where God has them. So, they vainly believe they can get a quick fix in some “church” building in another state. And it’s all because wolves are putting a sales job on them to convince them God can’t do His work in their life right where they are on His planet, and so they need to pack up their vehicle and travel to another state. Little do they realize there are no shortcuts to the cross. None. Not one (Galatians 2:20; 5:19-24; Colossians 3:3). You either die the death or you live in sin and die separated from God and go to hell (Romans 6; Hebrews 12:14; Ezekiel 33:12-13). You either truly repent and confess your sins and forsake them or you remain in them, in darkness, in denial of the truth, in denial of Christ, and hell bound (Proverbs 28:13; Luke 14:33; 17:33; 19:27; Mark 9:43-49). The unrepentant love darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil and they refuse to repent and let Jesus reign in their daily life. They will spare no money or time to go to the furthest lengths to put a band aid on a gaping wound – their sinful heart. They will do anything except repent and die to self as Christ commanded (Luke 9:23-24).
“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. :21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21
Cross-less counterfeits will always be perpetuated in their delusions until they truly repent, right where they are, lay down their life in this sinful world, deny self, take up the cross, and follow Jesus daily (Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33; 19:27; John 12:23-25, etc.). Traveling to another location on the planet changes nothing other than prolonging the misery of sin. God will not deliver anyone until they truly repent before Him – and it’s only then that He forgives their sin and shuts Satan out (James 4:7). There are no shortcuts. God wants to bless you right where you are on His beautiful planet and He sure will – if you will come afresh to Him in repentance and confession of your sins. “Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the LORD”… a divine promise (Acts 3:19). | Fresh Start with God

“Hey Todd,
Here is a testimony from one of my very dear friends that took a trip yesterday to Asbury…
He wrote:
‘Just came from the revival in Asbury. There’s so many detailed reports and photos posted already. I just can’t give language to all I saw and encountered. I had waited over 50 years for this moment to be back where I had attended this school in my youth. To see this with my eyes again! My heart was strangely warmed. God’s sweet presence swept Hughes Auditorium at Asbury University. There was so much worship, confession and repentance, joyful responses to love him more. And the call to missions. Acts 4:20. It was so good!’“
MY RESPONSE:
Your friend is under a demonic delusion…. same as the Mormons. Your friend is emo… not a man of truth, he’s living by his feelings…take a look at:
Luke 24:32, “our hearts burning within us,” and the Mormon testimony
The “Word of the Holy Spirit” is on record between Genesis and Revelation. No one needs your supposed “Word from the Holy Spirit” because He gave it to us in His Word. Time to get Gospel grounded – Genesis to Revelation. Repent and get over yourself! Primarily, Jesus reveals Himself to His people in His Word, leads His New Testament church by His written Word, led by His Spirit (Luke 24:44-45; John 5:39; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21).
If you have to get into a vehicle and travel somewhere far away to somehow get revived, it can only be for one reason – you are a rebel who refuses to repent and lay down your life in daily crucifixion RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE – and so now you’re running for the fool’s gold, the quick fix, the trinket. Not going to work. Unrepentant rebels are dismal, dark, degenerate, miserable, blind, naked, and ashamed no matter where on God’s green earth their feet tread. Read Romans 6 to see how Christ’s remnant disciples are to live, to walk.

“Strangely definition: in an unusual or surprising way. Should not the people of God know their God? (John 8:32; Heb. 8:11; Isa. 52:6) Should not students at a ‘Christian’ university be ‘born again’ believers (John 3:3) and therefore students of the word of God? (Isa. 57:15) Should not repentance do a work beyond human reasoning or feelings? (Rev. 2:5) I’ve watched some of the videos about 4 hours and heard maybe 5 minutes of speech between hours on hours of contemporary Christian music. I like contemporary, but where are the Psalms and hymns we were instructed to sing and make melody in our hearts to the Lord?

“Many people think it’s knowledge in the world but the Lord is speaking of knowledge in him. This is why so many don’t know the truth because they rather run to everyone else for it other than truth himself…Jesus Christ.” Tina
Numerous people are sending me Fox News links etc. To them I am replying with….
Unless you can show us where the actual preaching of God’s Word is going on in Asbury, I will never believe it is authentic, from God. Those who truly are “of God” honor God and preach, teach, communicate, and ground everything in Him from His Word.
SETTING YOU UP TO DECEIVE YOU
MANY deceivers today misuse the verse below to say that somehow, God is doing something different, something contrary to what He says in His Word. Beware, God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33):
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19
It’s easy to deceive the gullible masses. They are only gullible and being destroyed because they have chosen to chase rainbows instead of diligently devouring God’s Word daily. Their house is built on sinking sand. Hell awaits (Matthew 7:19-29).
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
First off, let me say that God is moving in the hearts of His true remnant. All others are outside of His kingdom, though many claim, swear they are Christ’s, “Depart from me” is what they are going to hear as the Almighty vanquishes them as rebels into eternal hell, if they don’t repent.
“Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:11
God’s Word foretells a great falling away and not a great revival in the last days. Read 2 Thessalonians 2; 1 Timothy 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 3:12-13; Matthew 24:10-14, etc.
MORE CLEAR EVIDENCE OF THE PROPHESIED GREAT FALLING AWAY:
“…because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 5:24
It’s interesting how so many come out of the woodwork on social media to defend a supposed “revival” using no biblical evidence that it’s authentic, and yet these same people do not daily interact with the Word of God on social media. Think about that. And that’s the problem….. all of a sudden THEY are the authority, they come to the rescue to conclude that a fake “revival” is authentic, when there’s no biblical proof, all because of how it makes them feel – because they are not circumcised in heart and so not men of truth, but rather men in the flesh, carnal, not men who are “valiant for the truth,” earnestly contending for the faith of the original Gospel once delivered to the saints (Jeremiah 9:3; Jude 3-4).
ALL who cast away the Word of God will be destroyed by God.
“Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 5:24
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
The man of God will NEVER bid Godspeed to that which does not align clearly with Holy Scripture. And this Asbury “revival” clearly does not.
IS GOD’S WORD FRONT AND CENTER OR IS IT APOSTASY? It’s one or the other.
Question: If and where God’s Word is not honored, diligently taught and observed, is that place “of God” or “NOT of God”? I am expecting your Yes or No answer. Here’s some help…. What did Jesus say?
WHO is “of God” and WHO is “NOT of God”? Jesus told us, did He not? Read this carefully:
“He that is OF GOD heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
If you are not a man of the WORD, you are “NOT of God” according to Jesus (John 8:47).
With no exception, those who are “of God” hear and obey and embrace, and hold as the highest divine authority, the written Word of God which is the “MORE sure word of prophecy” (2 Peter 1:12-21). Men of God declare with Christ’s apostle Paul – “Let GOD be true and EVERY man a liar” (Romans 3:4).
Counterfeits are insisting that “God can move anyway He wants to” and in doing so are openly revealing they are “NOT of God” and acting as if God is confused and contradicting Himself. See John 8:47 to see who Jesus says is “Of God” vs who is “NOT of God.” Boom.
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:33
THIS is why God gave us His Word – to keep us safe from the “MANY deceivers” and false prophets among us (Proverbs 30:5-6).
“For MANY DECEIVERS are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” 2 John 7
Say it out loud with me…. “God is not confused and is not the author of confusion and anyone contradicting His written Word is a demonic fraud!”
“Thank you Bro Todd Tomasella. We all know when YT or other social media allows a sermon like this to spread, its always preaching another Jesus. Because if its the truth, they will cancel it.” Marcus Crassus
“I listened to the YouTube sermon and it was pathetic. I had heard about this supposed revival and was excited believing God was really moving but based on what I’ve just watched, which I had to put on double speed in order to get through it, this ain’t it!!” John Umlauf

“I’m getting some very good reports from Asbury from those I trust…they’re all saying that people are crying out in repentance…the “Cross” is the only thing that can produce that…I would encourage you to take a quick trip out to Asbury just to confirm or otherwise your personal conviction on this move…could be genuine brother!”
REPLY:
That’s totally subjective. Why not trust God instead of mere man? “Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD” (Jeremiah 17:5). “He that trusteth in his own heart (much less another mere man’s) is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26). Before we condone such a “revival,” why not test it against the only One worthy to be trusted – His Word?
WHERE O WHERE is the preaching of the Word of God in Asbury? Not just some lame feminized 30 something-year-old standing up there talking, but rather a crucified with Christ man who is teaching or preaching the BIBLE itself, straight from the Scriptures.
Hundreds of people repenting and being saved at Asbury? hmmmm Any professing Christian wants young people to come to Christ, but is this what is happening at Asbury? What are they repenting of if they aren’t even hearing God’s Word preached and thereby being convicted of their sin? Which they aren’t because the Bible is seldom if ever opened at Asbury. What are the attendees being converted to? God’s unchanging pattern is that His Word be preached and this is how He convicts them of their sin and saves souls (Matthew 28:20; Mark 16:15; 2 Timothy 4:2, etc.). Oh and what are they actually being won into if the Word of God isn’t present? What spirit is present on the wings of the rebellious refusal to communicate God’s Word? – “seducing spirits (demons) and doctrines of devils” are inseparable in the apostasy (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith (apostatize), 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
HOPEFULLY PEOPLE ARE REPENTING EVERYWHERE ON GOD’S GREEN EARTH, IN SPITE OF THE REBELS WHO ARE MISLEADING THEM BY NOT PREACHING THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD’S WORD. See Jeremiah 12:10; Isaiah 9:16; 2 Peter 1:3, etc. That’s not the concern being communicated. We sure do hope so, we hope people are truly repenting, in spite of the overlording agenda of the handlers, we praise God for any and all who will repent there or anywhere, in spite of the WORD not being preached. On that note, WHY is one little gathering in one place getting so much attention? WHAT’s the agenda behind it? Not good I can tell you that. God holds all the false prophets there who refuse to preach His Word personally responsible for their rebellion (Isaiah 5:24). “…because they have cast away the law (Word) of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.” (Isaiah 5:24)
Was there preaching when 3,000 then 5,000 souls were saved after Pentecost? Yes. Acts 2 and 4. Notice when we see the church gather in the days recorded in Nehemiah that the elder read the Bible itself, then helped the people understand it. ALL, everything was grounded in the Word. Anything else is apostasy, period. When shall we learn? Egg on the face is coming, again, if we dare be so gullible, rebellious.
“So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” Nehemiah 8:8
Dear Asbury defender….. Please tell and/or show us all about the cardinal Biblical doctrines of the Christian faith being preached at Asbury please. We’re all waiting because none of those who are foolishly defending this delusion have produced an iota of evidence for what they are falsely claiming. All due to not loving the truth of God and attaching their emotions to something instead of being true disciples who love God’s truth. God is sending them “strong delusion” and they will be “deceived” and “damned” to hell (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
SAINTS, we are seeing the prophesied great apostasy before our very eyes, where you have biblically-illiterate, don’t-care-what-God-says, professing Christians who have no regard for or fear of the LORD. EVERYTHING goes – just slap the word “Holy Bible” on a butchered content book (fake “bibles”) and they buy it wholesale. Get a big hooray going with good music and stage it as a revival, and they will buy into it wholesale and defend it. They will evade the Word itself, will deny Christ instead of self daily. These same people have no cross or testimony of the precious blood of Jesus, the saving power and grace of Jesus Christ in their personal lives – because they are not in God’s Word as if their life depends on it, they are not taking up the cross – living the crucified life – and following Jesus (Luke 9:23-24; Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:5, 10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:34, etc.).
“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 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. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” 2 Timothy 4:1-5
THIS ONE GOT HEATED!
MESSAGES REC’D:
“Pharisees see through religious lenses. The prisoners in china who get jailed and killed for Christ is their life and relationship fake because they can’t read the bible during their worship time in jails and underground churches?”
REPLY: (he repeatedly called me a pharisee due to not agreeing with him – no different than delusionals calling everyone a “r.a-cist” who doesn’t agree with them. He swore that at Asbury they were reading much Scripture and yet when asked, could produce no proof – as in video proof, which there is at least dozens of hours of on youtube) Here’s was one of my responses to him:
So adhering to the written WORD as Jesus said He is the Word and says that we are to search the WORD and the WORD shall never be broken…He’s a pharisee? John 10:35; 5:39-40….do we have Bibles? Yes. The Chinese Christian’s tear pages out of the Bible and pass them around and so they don’t even individually have the whole Bible and yet know it much better than the typical lame American “Christian.” Boom. Christians, everyone in America has Bibles, so no excuse. Case closed. Yet you are bidding Godspeed to those who don’t honor and therefore preach God’s Word. “PREACH the word.” 2 Timothy 4:2. Repent now sinner. Or you will perish with the counterfeits you are defending. 2 John 7-11
WHEN they are saying that signs and wonders are happening, TEST IT as God instructed you to do. Discern against the WORD.
Notice the order here – first comes PREACHING the Word, then the signs and wonders. Hmmmmmm. Is there a rat to smell in Asbury?
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.” Mark 16:15-20
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3,5
How can sinners be getting saved when repentance is not even being mentioned, much less preached?
“I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32
Repentance is a change of one’s whole life and direction or it’s not real. It’s a falling upon the mercy of God in Christ in total sorrow for sin…. and surrender.
“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:7-10
True repentance always, with no exception, brings forth a changed life:
“Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21 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.” Matthew 7:19-21
Actually, I hope we are all wrong who believe there is no original Gospel being preached at the Asbury “revival.” What I’ve personally seen so far is not the original Gospel. There’s no repentance in it. So, it’s false. And they are using fake “bibles,” and until you can clearly demonstrate that repentance is being preached, please cease defending this “revival.” Do you know what Acts 17:10-11 and 1 Thess. 5:21 reveal? Fox News is not represented by Bible believing Christians… Bereans who test everything against Holy Scripture.
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“We allow the Lord to Move. Who made you God and King?”
REPLY:
You say: “We allow the Lord to Move.” So, mere man is in control? Do WE dictate how God moves or does He? Does the LORD move contradictory to His own Word? He’s confused? See 1 Corinthians 14:33. Was there preaching of His Word when 3,000 then 5,000 souls were saved? Yes (Acts 2:41; 4:4). Tell us where there’s the preaching of the Word at this “revival”? God has spoken. Do you have a King James Bible? WHO made you queen? You offer no Scripture which clearly defines that you are biblically illiterate and just going with the flow of the prophesied great falling away. God is calling you to repent and be soundly grounded in His Word.
Some claim that many are repenting. How can people be repenting, for real, if there’s no preaching, especially on the essential of repentance? On the day of Pentecost, when 3,000 and then 5,000 men repented it was at the preaching of the apostles Peter and John (Acts 2:41; 4:4). The very first word, divine command from the mouths of John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostle Peters was “Repent.” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19) Has God changed? No. There is no preaching of God’s Word which means there’s no honoring of God Himself at this Asbury “revival.”
“Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.” Proverbs 13:13
“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.” Acts 17:11
138 times in God’s Word “preach,” “preached,” and “preaching” appear. Has the Almighty changed? Is He doing things some other way, OR are gullible, biblically illiterate people staging a fraud?
In the Old and New Testaments, the revivals we see are lost people getting right with God and they always involved the preaching of the Word of God. See Jonah and the 8,000 souls who were saved at Pentecost when the church was born (Acts 2 and 4).
WHEN 3,000 souls were saved and then 5,000, was there preaching? Yes, in both cases. Read Acts 2 and 4. “Preach the word” (2 Timothy 4:2). Peter, anointed by the Holy Ghost, preached. God moves in conjunction with the preaching of His Word. So, when there’s news of a supposed “revival,” look for the preaching of the WORD, not some lukewarm pansy standing there talking and musing about life on his own terms. Look for a man who is crucified with Christ, with Holy Spirit fire in his eyes, consumed by the Holy Ghost. Or, a man who is simply teaching the Bible itself – which is a lost art in God’s Word and is making way for the prophesied great apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2). Jesus is coming saints. Cling to HIM – to His words. Pour over the Word daily, memorize, and meditate upon it.
God ordained the preaching of His Word, of the Word of the cross. Here’s a mere sampling:
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH (proclaim, declare) the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15
“For the PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
“PREACH the word…” 2 Timothy 4:2
“Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. 2 For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 3 For I was my father’s son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 4 He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live…. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:1-4, 20-23

Apparently, you are not a man of the Word of God, a man of truth, by your own admission (Matthew 12:34). Where do we see all this public praise and worship in the New Testament church, among the earliest believers? You’ve made an idol of it apparently. If you have so much grace, as you seem to infer, WHERE is it in your words here? WHERE is the Holy Scripture? Apparently, you are being led around by the nose by the great apostasy that was foretold and it’s all because you aren’t grounded in the Word for yourself (2 Timothy 2:15).
Paul instructed Timothy (and us) to “Study” the Word (2 Timothy 2:15). Did Paul ever instruct anyone to “praise and worship” as we know it today? Nope. What does the biblically-stated imperative of the written Word vs the gross lack of emphasis on “praise and worship” say? Did God forget to tell us something we needed to know, or have sinful men, misusing His holy name, over emphasized it?
Acts 16:25-26 record how Paul and Silas sang praises in jail and God caused an earthquake. This was amazing and yet, in the gatherings of the saints, do we see an elaborate praise and worship session or set up anywhere in the New Testament canon? No.
So, instead of offering Bible truth they stand on, gutless cowards lash out emotionally, having no substance to offer when their apple carts are flipped, and begin to attack the mere messengers of the Word of God. They call you “jealous” since they have no substance to offer. The true remnant disciple declares with David that “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path” (Psalms 119:105).
One of the utterly lame defenses of false revivals is “Oh, but you’re just jealous.” Was Jesus jealous when He rebuked the false leaders and their falsehoods in His day? Matt 23, etc…. How about the apostle Paul? Was he just being jealous when he rebuked false doctrine such as in Galatia?
When Jesus warns His followers about “MANY false prophets” who will “deceive MANY,” is the Son of God just being jealous?
“And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:11
“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 John 4:1
“the enemies of the cross of Christ”
“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision… (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:2, 18-19
BEWARE OF THE “ENEMIES OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST” – THOSE WHO REFUSE TO DIE, TO DENY SELF, TAKE UP THE CROSS DAILY – LIVE THE CRUCIFIED LIFE – AND YET THEY RUN AROUND DEFENDING THINGS THAT HAVE NO BIBLICAL RECONCILIATION.
Isn’t it time to get into God’s Word and stop defending the enemies of Christ? Bidding God speed to them will land you in hell with them according to 2 John 7-11.
“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision… (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:2, 18-19
God will never raise up that which is still alive under it’s own power, but only that which is dead and buried “with Christ” (Romans 6).
“Any first responder will tell you. You can only revive what is dead or dying. Been saying this for years. Want revival then die to self/ the flesh. Be born again. You were first born a living soul. We are born again a living spirit. If you’re full of The Holy Spirit and dead to self, walking circumspectly, seated in heavenly places in Spirit ~ then you’re truly alive and there is no need for revival – because you need no reviving, you are being raised up.” Todd McAdams
Had a guy insist that I could not discern whether Asbury was false until I literally went there in person. Is that true or false? Let’s examine together…. Here’s my response to him before blocking him per the command of Matthew 7:6 and Titus 3:9-11:
You have provided no proof that Asbury is a God revival. It’s not. Delusional. Yet you have not been there and insist it’s authentic while telling me I can’t insist that it’s fake since I also haven’t been there. Neither of us have been there. No need to go there. You have no video proof with hundreds of hours of video available, to demonstrate that God’s Word is being preached at Asbury. You are dead wrong. Think about it….So, here you are right now, via a social media platform, making conclusions about me while simultaneously insisting that I can’t make determinations about something that has mountains more information available than you have on me, and it’s on video. Think about your convoluted delusion here…. In reality, you simply do not want to die to the self life. You want to believe there can be a quick fix, a magic pill to undo all your rebellion, your refusal to lay down your life in this fleeting world and die the death, truly, practically, daily be crucified with Christ, for real. Romans 6. God is calling you to freshly repent and return to Him, before it’s too late (Hosea 10:12; 14:1-2).

“Have you been there, Todd? I’ve heard totally different versions then what you’re espousing. So with that being said, hearsay from a 3rd party isn’t sufficient enough for you to make critiquing posts. Maybe you should go check it out for yourself and then come back with your subjective opinion.”
REPLY:
Have you watched the videos? Where is the preaching of the Word, the Gospel, the cross, sin, hell, repentance? Those are all cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel and every true disciple, Bible student, knows such. Please demonstrate where the Word is actually being preached, especially under the power of the Holy Spirit. The burden of proof is on you – to demonstrate, to test, to weigh in the balance this supposed “revival” against Holy Scripture. Do you understand what Acts 17:10-11 teaches?
Are they preaching that “ALL have sinned” and repentance? If not, it’s false, period. we must discern what they are preaching.
Acts 17:10-11
2 Timothy 3:10
Look at the doctrine, not the fanfare. If sin and repentance, are not being preached it’s “another gospel” 100% (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9). What are they preaching?

One lady claimed God was showing her that “screaming repent” is wrong and that those exposing this false revival were acting grossly immoral.
MY REPLY:
So obeying God by preaching the Word, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting, as He expressly commanded (2 Tim 4:2) is being immoral and showing gross behavior? Were the prophets of God, John the Baptist, Jesus, Peter, Paul, John “screaming” repent? No. But they preached it and commanded that HIS people preach it – “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem” (Luke 24:47).
“God … commandeth ALL men every where to repent” (Acts 17:30). No one gets restored, refreshed until they repent (Acts 3:19). The burden of proof is on you to reveal where sin and repentance are being preached at this Asbury “revival.” Until you can do that, not only is your doctrine in error, but you are out of order. What you are claiming God is showing you is subjective, not the Word, and it contradicts His Word. You are not speaking the truth of God’s Word but rather going by your emotions, your own feelings. I suggest you evaluate what spirit is driving you. God doesn’t contradict His own Word. He’s not the Author of confusion (1 Cor 14:33). Was Christ’s apostle Paul being evil, behaving grossly toward others when he openly rebuked the apostle Peter for assimilating with false doctrine and wolves at Galatia? See Gal. 2.
It’s beyond dangerous to attach the name of the LORD to something that He could not have told you because it contradicts His own Word.
“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:16
“How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;” Jeremiah 23:26
“Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,” Ezekiel 13:17
To defend a false revival commandeered by those in error is to bid God speed to the enemies of God (2 John 7-11).
Those who “mark” false prophets and heresy are obeying God by earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints – in obedience to the LORD and so His saints can be protected in His truth (Proverbs 30:5-6). So, they are acting justly.
“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 17:15

Perhaps the best thing about these supposed and staged “revivals” is singing old hymns. But who needs to travel across the country for that? Isn’t it time to go back to the early church model of simple, organic gatherings of just two or more saints where Jesus promises to be present and bless? Bam. Read and live Acts 2:42-47 beloved of God.

Please prove 500 people got saved? If so it is in spite of the lack of preaching of repentance. Show us in God’s Word where it says: “You can’t thump ppl on the head about sin and expect them to listen.” heretic….. Waiting.
In your definition, John the Baptist, Jesus, and His holy apostles were false – because “REPENT” was the first command of the original Gospel (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30; 20:21, etc.).
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.” Acts 17:30
“I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” Luke 13:3, 5
“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38
LAME. FEMINIZED. FAKE “bible.” NO REPENTANCE. NO CROSS: Any message of “love” being preached which isn’t coming from the cross, beginning with repentance, is false love. Please demonstrate how THIS is a “revival”? If you are pushing or defending this Asbury “revival”…. this will embarrass you if you have any conviction in your heart for God, truly.
No cross being preached at Asbury – Christ’s cross and the one He commanded that His followers take up daily (Luke 9:23-24).
John the Baptist, Jesus, and His holy apostles preached repentance. Anyone not preaching sin and repentance is preaching “another gospel” and is an “accursed” antichrist (Galatians 1:6-9).
“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:47
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now COMMANDETH ALL MEN EVERY WHERE TO REPENT.” Acts 17:30
If they aren’t preaching repentance, it doesn’t matter what else is happening – IT’S FALSE.
Repent now and buck up to the original Gospel – which begins with the command to repent – and that doesn’t take getting in a vehicle or flying to another state! God’s presence is everywhere in HIS earth – ready to save if we repent, right? Isaiah 59:1-2. For the essential doctrine of repentance, see Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Luke 13:3; 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:21, etc..
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;” (Romans 10:8)
Andre writes:
“Concerning the Asbury ‘revival’, I haven’t heard anyone preaching repentance or sound doctrine.. just 24/7 worship.”
“I heard this….. some Bethel and Hillsong music and Todd Bentley was showing up to ‘soak’.” J.
One man looking into, reporting on the Asbury “revival” noted:
“Not A Good Sign At Asbury: When Todd Bentley And Queer Students Like Your Revival”
Do we really see 24/7 worship in the NT church in God’s Word? I don’t think so….. Jesus prayed all night to select His 12 that’s the only thing we have on it… “And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God” (Luke 6:12).

“You don’t preach ‘repentance’ btw. Repentance is something that takes place after the GOOD NEWS IS PREACHED.”
REPLY:
One apostate man just told me: “you don’t preach REPENTance”. Wow. Totally biblcally illiterate.
The words “repent” and “repentance” appear 72 times in God’s Word – the King James Bible.
WHO preached REPENTANCE?
John the Baptist
“And saying, REPENT ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 3:2
Jesus
“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, REPENT: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17
Peter
“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” Acts 2:38
“REPENT ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
Christ’s Apostle Paul
“And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to REPENT:” Acts 17:30
No one will be saved without REPENTing (Luke 13:3, 5, etc.). AFFIRMATION without salvation, regeneration, is rampant in today’s apostate modern church world. Beware.
One is hard pressed to hear any modern pastor use the word and essential divine command to “REPENT.” This was foretold for these final days in which we live. Any man not preaching the essential biblical doctrine of REPENTance, not using the Bible word “REPENT,” is preaching “another gospel” and is an “accursed” wolf with no exception! (See Galatians 1:6-9.) Run. If you sit under, if you patronize any preacher who isn’t regularly using the divine essential command to “REPENT,” you are as deceived and hell bound as this vile antichrist you are bidding Godspeed to (2 John 10-11).
GOD NEITHER FORGIVES NOR BLESSES ANY MAN WHO DOESN’T FIRST REPENT.
“I use to see (as I’m not on YouTube much anymore) so many people/teachers talking up a ‘billion soul harvest.’ It didn’t matter that that flies in the face of Jesus’ own words:…”narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matt. 7:13-14″ Jon Crane
What does it say for those who run to get a quick fix in a supposed “revival”? It seems to indicate that the LORD is not important enough to them to seek, to worship and to walk with, to love, in their daily life and so now they’re going to run to the staged “revival”.
Asbury Revival?
WHY would anyone take a trip to Asbury when the You tube evidence shows no preaching of God’s Word? What did Jesus tell the woman at the well concerning limiting God to a physical location? Read John 4.
For many reasons, I’m always leery when a “revival breaks out.” Historically, in our day especially, there have been so many “revivals” that were 100% staged by wolves to get the masses of the gullible to flock there…and give their money and draw attention to a certain ministry. Beware. God is present right where we are on HIS planet. “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save” (Is 59:1).
History will show those who ran to some location to try to participate in some “revival” did not retain such. In other words, there lives were not bettered when they returned – in the biblical sense.
We’ve all heard about the suction technology that instantly removes the fat around the patient’s belly. But is this the best solution for their life? No. Yet, people will pay big money to undo their own irresponsibility. What have they learned? Nothing. Do we not realize that when a person loses weight by working out and eating correctly, that they learn something in that journey. It forges in them the desires to keep that fat off their body, right? Quick fixes are not always gold, even though they tempt people with the glittering prospect of quickly undoing something wrong they did over a long period of time. Seems wise to learn something so that one doesn’t have to repeat the error.
Jesus teaches us that real change and the “manifest” presence of the LORD only come to those who embrace His Word, who love, worship, and obey Christ (John 8:47; 14:21-23). These blessings don’t come from praising and worshipping the LORD. There is no magic bullet in Christ’s kingdom but there is a cross to be born, “daily” (Luke 9:23-24). Time to get into the trenches and stop buying Satan’s lies. The cross, the trench equals your own death and burial and guarantees the resurrection of Christ – raising you in His glory, His grace, His power, and His victory! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)
God only touches people who repent, trust Him, and obey Him… Read John 14:21-23 to see who Jesus and the Father camp out with and bless. Too many shallow, counterfeits seeking for a quick fix, chasing rainbows at false “revivals.” They want God to undo all the wages of their sin in one quick shot so they can just go out and live in sin again. But this won’t happen – God will not bless, will not save any person who does not truly repent. Period.
Jesus teaches us that real change and the “manifest” presence of the LORD only come to those who embrace His Word, who love, worship, and obey Christ (John 8:47; 14:21-23). These blessings don’t come from going to a supposed “revival” and praising and worshipping the LORD endlessly. There is no magic bullet in Christ’s kingdom but there is a cross to be born, “daily” (Luke 9:23-24). Out of that abiding relationship with Christ, practically walking with Him daily, will be the progression of “fruit… more fruit, much fruit” produced in our lives (John 15). Time to get into the trenches and stop buying Satan’s lies. The cross, the trench equals your own death and burial and guarantees the resurrection of Christ – raising you in His glory, His grace, His power, and His victory! (2 Corinthians 4:10-12)
Even if it were true that people could run to some location, to flood some church building, and truly get revived, that would NOT change the non-negotiable need for the daily cross – for dying to self daily so Jesus is raising your upward, reviving you with His resurrection power (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24). God only revives those who are dead and buried with Christ, truly. No supposed “revival” changes God’s Word because nothing does. There is no shortcut or replacement for a crucified life.
A HISTORY OF FAKE “REVIVALS”
“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:1-2
God’s people were in need of true repentance, not offering vain worship.
Is the LORD calling, leading anyone to travel to find “revival”? No. God is calling us to travel to our knees (figuratively at least) in repentance. It’s then that His mighty arm, His strength will be manifested to conquer all our enemies.
Have you noticed that most people will do ANYTHING except truly repent? They are willing to try any principle, prescription, or gimmick, as long as it doesn’t require their own crucifixion. These are whom Jesus says “loved darkness rather than light” (John 3:19-21). Like Israel, they will render fake repentance (Psalms 34:18; 51:17; Isaiah 66:1-2). Remember, true repentance always, 100% of the time, results in a changed life – a life that pleases God, that is sanctified, set apart, and fruitful to His eternal glory (Matthew 3:7-10; John 14-15, etc.).
Many want revival but not repentance. They want the crown but not the cross. They want the prize but not death to the self life. Beware (2 Timothy 4:2-4).
The only thing that stands between you and true divine resurrection grace is your own repentance, laying down your life, dying and being buried. It’s then that He will raise you up – revive your life! No need to travel to try to find the “presence of God.” Beware of the constant gimmicks.
The principle is no different than the click bait videos, or throwing things up on social media in order to get likes, clicks, etc. This is the same thing certain ministries will due to attract traffic, attention, dollars.
Most people refuse to repent and will do anything except truly repent. Yet they want to simply drive somewhere where there’s supposedly a “revival” transpiring. The last time people had to be in one specific place to “receive power from on high” was on the Day of Pentecost when the church was born (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-42). Christ Himself organized that one!
“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9
To the woman at the well, Jesus seems to make it clear that He is our Salvation, our Source, and that goes for anywhere we are on HIS earth… He’s looking for His people to repent and trust Him and not travel to attempt to find Him. He’s not hiding – He simply isn’t revealing Himself to the casual seeker and requires that we repent right where we are. Refreshing and revival will follow (Acts 3:19). Does Christ not openly dispel this false notion that worship happens due to a certain location? Yes. Not even in Jerusalem.
“Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.” Jn 4:22-26
God’s glory fills the whole earth! Here are some examples of How the LORD tells us that His earth is His handiwork and is full of His goodness, His riches, and His glory:
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” Psalms 19:1
“He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.” Psalms 33:5
“O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” Psalms 104:24
“And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.” Isaiah 6:3
Nigh thee – just obey
Does God instruct people to search out, to find, to travel to get in a “revival” as if He’s specially touching a certain group or place? What New Testament example of such do we have? Chasing “revival” or Jesus?
Repent, trust God, and flourish with fellow disciples right where you are.

The Idiocy of Calvinism

The Five Filthy Falsehoods of Calvinism
The Shocking Connection between Calvinism and Catholicism
Calvinism’s Terrible TULIP:
- Total Depravity
- Unconditional Election
- Limited Atonement
- Irresistible Grace
- Perseverance of the Saints
Calvinism and dispensationalism are example of cult systems that displace the final divine authority of Holy Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Not even 1 point of calvinism is true. All 5 points of calvinism are patently false.
Below is more on the corruption of Calvinism and those “ungodly men” who teach and promote these false doctrines (Jude 3-4).
Calvinism is NOT Christianity …. it’s a diabolical perversion of the message of Christ and His holy apostles and fulfills Jude’s prophecy in Jude 3-4.
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!
Jim Borge writes: “I was brought up Lutheran and taught that the Reformation was a good thing. How untrue. What the Church needed was REVIVAL (righteousness and truth!), and not more dead doctrines of men!”
Jim Borge is correct: In the period of time we call “the dark ages,” when darkness had fallen on the peoples of the earth through the antichrist cult of Rome, the body of Christ simply needed and now needs to get back to the Bible. It doesn’t need to be mixed or rewritten but rather to be read honestly and thoroughly (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). The Word of God, like its divine Author, “is settled in heaven,” for ever and is unchanging, is eternally constant (Psalms 119:89; Isaiah 40:8; Mark 13:31, etc.).
We must go back further than the “reformation.” Nothing needed to be RE-formed…. because we have a Bible which is the final divine authority (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). Many of the “reformers” were absolute heretics such as the demon possessed murderous maniac, John Calvin.
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms 119:89
Yet there was much mixture and error that came from the so-called “reformers.” We don’t need them – we need God’s Word. Some waste hours and even years studying “church history” instead of just getting into the Word of God. Sad. Today’s long established apostate seminaries spend more time on church history and other extra-biblical books than the Bible. The Bible is set aside and attention is given to what mere men said about the Bible instead of simply reading God’s Word itself. Beware. | Church History or the Scriptures?
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31
Calvinism is a cancer being spread by some of the most insidious wolves in the business. Oh and I mean business because they are about their father Satan’s business.
— TOTAL DEPRAVITY
Calvinists say that God punishes man for what man can’t help and that God supposedly commands men to do something man can’t do and then turns around and judges those men for what they can’t do. Here’s what I mean: Calvinism’s TULIP (five falsehoods) begin with “total depravity” (the “T) which in this evil theology means that man is so depraved that he has no ability to respond to God when God draws that man.
The doctrine of “total depravity” as created and defined by Calvinists, means that man is so very sinful that he has no will or ability to make the decision to obey what God demands – repentance and faith in Christ (Acts 20:21). So their terminology and definition of “total depravity” is not only ludicrous but patently false.
“In either scenario the first step is the same and from this understanding everything else in the Calvinistic system follows. The doctrine of Total Depravity says that due to the sin nature that we are born with man is incapable of hearing the Gospel and responding to it in a positive manner, i.e., respond in faith and trust God for our salvation through his Son Christ Jesus. Without God first making us able to have faith in Christ, after having chosen us to such a grace (and conversely, not choosing the others), we would never have faith in Christ.” Kirby Hopper
So even though God “commandeth ALL men everywhere to repent” and “is not willing that ANY should perish,” according to this evil theology, he only gives certain, special, elite people the ability or gift to repent and be saved. Such an idea is unscriptural, misleading, and completely false (Acts 17:30; 2 Peter 3:9). Actually, in this Satanic system, the demon god it depicts, repents for those special, respect-above-all-the-others persons. These Calvinists frame themselves as the elite elect who have no personal responsibility. The Bible teaches that we must receive and not deny Christ to be His elect. The “called, chosen, and FAITHFUL” will be with Him (Revelation 17:14). So, Calvinism has twisted the meaning of the “elect.” Even though the Bible informs us that “There is NO respect of persons with God,” the false god (evil spirit) behind Calvinism is said to have had respect of persons by arbitrarily hating and assigning some to eternal damnation in the lake of fire before the foundation of the world (Romans 2:11). That my friends, is not the one true God revealed in Holy Scripture who “is love.” (1 John 4:16)
“Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:” Matthew 25:41
Jesus says that hell was NOT originally created for any man. He said hell is created for the devil and his angels and yet calvinism teaches that God ordained certain, the un-elect to go to hell from the foundation of the world (Matt 25:41). God’s Word says that Jesus “is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.” (1 John 2:2) Jesus foretold that He was going to go to the cross to die and “draw ALL men” to Himself and so that has to mean He intends to save all men (John 12:32).
DID or did not Jesus die for “ALL men”?
The diabolical cult of calvinism claims that Jesus died for some and not “ALL men.” Anyone who believes the system of calvinistic lies is a highly delusional counterfeit.
“God our Saviour; 4 Who WILL (it’s His will) have ALLLLL men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for ALLLLLL, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:4-6
Calvinism is the doctrinal system that attracts spineless moral cowards who want nothing to do with personal responsibility and accountability to God. They refuse to truly repent, lay down their lives in this sinful world, die to self, and truly follow Jesus. Repent sinner.
“And he is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD.” 1 John 2:2
John Calvin was an absolute heretical fraud and so are all who espouse and are teaching his demonic errors.
One cannot possibly be a Bible believer and a calvinist.
The first point, total depravity, as defined by Calvinism, says that man is so depraved that he has no ability to do what God tells him to do, repent. Some who see this evil teaching for what it is define it as total inability. According to calvinists, God commands men to do something He doesn’t allow them the ability to do – “repent.” For example “God … commandeth all men every where to repent.” (Acts 17:30)
IF YOU HAVE SEEN CALVINISM, YOU HAVE SEEN SATAN HIMSELF.
IF YOU HAVE HEARD THAT ONE WHO TEACHES CALVINISM, REFORMED THEOLOGY, AND ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED, YOU HAVE SEE AN “UNGODLY” MAN, A WOLF (JUDE 3-4).
“I was listening to a Q&A with RC Sproul a couple years ago. The question was asked “If I have 2 kids and one has been predestined for heaven and the other predestined for hell … How do I deal with this” Sproul said that God’s grace would be demonstrated on the one. And he being a just Judge will judge the other kid sending him to judgement. That answer made me sick to my stomach to the point where I almost felt like throwing up. It left a feeling of disgust in my soul that lasted for a few days. Have never listened to him again.” MM
Calvinistic thinking is completely self-centered just like the author of Calvinism himself – Satan (see Isaiah 14:12-15; Genesis 2:17; 3:4, etc.). Have you noticed that you have never met a Calvinist who doesn’t believe that he (of course) is one of those special, “elect” persons whom God chose to be His while supposedly preordaining the remainder of His population to go to eternal damnation? How convenient.
—— AUGUSTINE WAS A CATHOLIC.
JOHN CALVIN REPEATEDLY ADMITTED TO GETTING HIS DOCTRINE FROM THIS PAGAN DEVIL.
ALL OF CALVINISM IS BASED ON A COMPLETELY FALSE PREMISE….. IT SUPPOSES THAT ANOTHER THING OR DOCTRINE OR SET OF BELIEFS IS NEEDED – TULIP – WHICH DENIES THAT SCRIPTURE IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY AND THE ONLY DOCTRINE NEEDED FOR THE BORN AGAIN SAINT (2 PETER 1:3-4; 20-21; 2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17, ETC.). In other words, the doctrines of calvinism displace, replace the Bible as final divine authority. THAT my friends is a cult. CALVINISM CALLS GOD A LIAR. CALVINISTS SAY THAT GOD DID NOT GIVE US SUFFICIENT TRUTH IN HIS WORD – THAT ANOTHER EXTRA-BIBLICAL “SOURCE” OR SYSTEM IS NEEDED. SO THE BASIS OF CALVINISM IS THAT THE BIBLE IS NOT ENOUGH – THAT ANOTHER MERE SINFUL MAN OR MEN (IN THIS CASE A CONSUMMATE MURDERER) WERE AND ARE NEEDED TO DETERMINE TRUTH.
“Those in the Reformed / Calvinist movement believe God ordains everything including man’s sins; which would make God a sinner himself; which is a lie from Satan himself. God is Holy and separate from sinners! Calvinism is a man made doctrine to boost man’s ego and pride which God says is an abomination. Jesus gave repentance to all of Israel but they willingly rejected Him. Jesus did not say Israel could not come to him, he said he wanted them to come to Him but they would not come to him. Calvinism is a cult.” Brian White
Oh and guess what? ONLY those who buy into this package are the Calvinists. No non-elect Calvinist will ever be heard teaching this absurd demonology. In other words all those who believe this just so happen to be the special “elect.” Go figure!!!!
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.” 1 Peter 1:2
Have you ever studied the “foreknowledge of God”? Foreknowledge – knowing beforehand – in no way means God robbed individuals of their free will which He gave them to begin with. “Foreknowledge” simply means God knows all things past, present, and future. He knows the decisions people are going to make and yet He “cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
Calvinism is demonic as well as those who espouse this evil system of hatred and futility (1 Timothy 4:1). None of those Romans verses they misuse mean or say that God tampered with the free will HE gave men… as if He foreordained that some go to hell as well as forcing His “elect” into His kingdom against their own free will. Calvinists read into the text. They are indoctrinated from small children with this diabolical system.
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15
“But if the word of God foretells that some angels and men shall be certainly punished, it did so because it foreknew that they would be unchangeably [wicked], but not because God had created them so.” Justin Martyr- c. 100/114AD – c. 162/168 AD.
Individual human beings are only “elect” in the sense that they elect to serve God on His terms. His foreknowledge does not in any way mean that He tampers with man’s will or makes the choice for him. God in His Word assures us that He “cannot be tempted with evil.” – “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
So God told us that He is “NOT willing that ANY should perish” and yet you say He sadistically preordained some for hell? The Bible says that God is “not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
God sovereignly chose to give man the choice … and His will is that all would be saved: “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4)
“CALVINISM IS A THREAT. ULTIMATELY, THIS FALSE THEOLOGY WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD IS A GOD WHO IS PLAYING CHESS WITH HIMSELF, DECIDING WHO HE LOVES BEST OUT OF ALL HIS EQUALLY SINFUL CHESS PIECES, LIKE A KID PLAYING FAVORITES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES YOU SO SPECIAL OVER THE REST OF GOD’S EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN? HOW ABOUT A DESIRE TO GET TO KNOW HIM OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL? THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENTIATING FACTOR. A JUST GOD CANNOT REMAIN JUST BY CHOOSING WHO HE WILL SAVE FROM A MOB OF EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN. THEY SHOULD EITHER ALL BURN OR ALL GO TO HEAVEN, RIGHT? AFTER ALL, ALL MEN ARE EQUALLY SINFUL IN HIS HOLY EYES. FURTHERMORE, WHAT LOVE IS THERE IN A GOD WHO SAVES SOME CHILDREN FOR NO SPECIAL REASON, KNOWING IN ADVANCE THAT HE WOULD SEND THE REST TO HELL? YET, SOMEHOW HE LOVES US?
THE TRUTH IS, THAT GOD HAS TO HAVE A REASON FOR CHOOSING YOU TO BE SAVED. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT SETS YOU APART FROM ALL THE OTHER EQUALLY SINFUL CHILDREN. THAT WOULD BE YOUR FREE WILL AND DECISION TO RESPOND TO HIS DRAWING, REPENT, PUT YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST, AND FOLLOW HIM.” MARION MILLS
“Choose you this day whom ye will serve.” Joshua 24:15
Think how delusional it is to claim that a just God is going to punish people who had no choice in committing the sin that sent them to hell. That’s a “another Jesus”, a demon. Anyone teaching such is a wolf (2 Corinthians 11:2-5).
If the LORD warned us: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7-8) How is it then that man has no choice, no ability to exercise his own God-given personal will to sow good or bad seed, to make decisions?
Simple question: How, why would a just God punish those who CHOSE to do evil if they had no choice, free will in the matter? He wouldn’t. To claim such is to say God is not just. “God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.” (James 1:13)
This following passage ends the calvinistic delusion for all honest Bible students:
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15
Calvinism blasphemously makes God out to be an accessory to and agent of evil.
On the difference between Calvinism and truly following Jesus, Bruce Pepper writes:
“I started studying Calvinism in order to refute him. In the first paragraph of one of his books, it said God predestined the fall of man for His own perverse pleasure. I read all I needed to know to notice that this man was with the devil and not a Christian. And Calvin was also a murderer. There are many people who follow Jesus the way THEY think best, which is not following Jesus at all. They’ll all be in hell. There’s one way to follow Jesus and that’s HIS way – the way He prescribes in His Word. The narrow way is the way that only a few there be that find it. Being a true Christian is being a follower of Christ and therefore following Him by laying down one’s life for Christ. All the wants, desires, hopes, and aspiration of the true disciple of Jesus is in Christ alone. The authentic follower of the Son of God, follows only the Holy Scriptures in such a way, that Christ Himself, and His ministry still walk the earth in a man. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. The dead are still raised, the blind see and I still see the deaf ears made to hear.”
It should be noted that in this deformed system of theology all five of its points are interrelated. In other words, if one of the points are wrong, they are all wrong and any true Bible believer knows they are all dead wrong.
— Calvinism is a false system of theology through which men think they see God ….. it completely misleads the individual who is too lazy to study God’s Word for himself as the Word commands us to do (Acts 17:11; 2 Timothy 2:15). It’s a diabolically crafted grid or prism though which deceived people see “God” when in fact it’s not the LORD at all. Calvinism is a doctrine of devils which is bought into by those who refuse to die to self as Jesus said one must do to be saved (Luke 9:23-24; 1 Timothy 4:1-3). Calvinism teaches them that they have no free will and so, in delusionally believing they are the elect, the special chosen, in this theology, they vainly believe they are not personally responsible for any sin or for not living for Christ, etc. Utter nonsense.
Those who authentically honor God do so by honoring His Word and denouncing all religious affiliations and affinities, hating them compared to their burning love for Christ (Matt. 7:6-9; Lk. 14:26-27). These are the few that He is going to save (Lk. 12:32; 21:19; 1 Pet. 4:18).
***Bryan Davis writes: “The god of Calvinism is the most cruel, hateful being imaginable. He guarantees that people will sin, punishes them eternally for doing so, and forces a select few to become his followers, though he doesn’t provide them with enough grace to escape sin, yet just enough to appear righteous on the surface, making them models of hypocrisy and therefore the laughingstock of the world.”
The doctrines of Calvinism and OSAS (once saved always saved) were the exact message of the false prophets of Israel and are the message of the grace-perverting wolves of today.
SATAN said “Ye shall NOT surely die” (Gen. 3:4) which is a direct contradiction of what God had just told the man and woman – “Thou shalt surely die” if they sinned against Him (Gen. 2:17). THIS is the same exact message of “once saved always saved” or the diabolical doctrines of Calvinism. This same devil has used “ungodly men,” false teachers throughout history to teach this lie.
“…ye shall NOT surely die…” Genesis 3:4 ~Satan. Satan added “not.” Compare Genesis 2:17 and 3:4 for a blockbuster revelation. In other words, you can sin against God and you will not lose your place with God, even though He’s “Holy, holy, holy.” (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8)
“…we are delivered to do all these abominations?” Jeremiah 7:10 ~false prophets.
In other words, we have our “saved” badge and are not accountable or responsible for how we live. Jesus covers all our sins no matter what! We are going to Heaven and don’t want to be bothered with the details of truly repenting and making Jesus the literal LORD and Master of our daily lives (Lk. 9:23-24; 14:33; 19:27).
“…ye shall have peace, no evil shall come upon you.” Jeremiah 23:17 ~false prophets. The false leaders of Jeremiah’s day were telling Israel that they were eternally secure in their sins, ushering them into the bowels of hell while they vainly thought they were secure in their lukewarmness and sin. They were abusing and perverting the grace of God (Jude 3-4; Titus 2:11-14; Rev. 3:15-16).
“…where is the God of judgment?” Malachi 2:17 ~false prophets. God hasn’t judged us for our sins and so He won’t in the end.
“The evil (our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us (from entering Heaven).” Amos 9:10 ~false prophets. Our sins won’t prevent or hold us back from receiving the blessings of Heaven. We believe we are once saved always saved like our leaders have told us.
Satan has not changed (Eccl. 1:9; 1 Cor. 10:13), and neither has God (Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8; James 1:17). No unholy person, regardless of his past relationship with God, will enter eternal glory but rather will be cast into the lake of fire for all eternity (Ezek. 33:12-13; Heb. 12:14; Rev. 21:8, 27; 22:11; etc.).
The Bible tells us that those who teach these things are “ungodly men” no matter what they pose as. These are the very wolves in sheep’s clothing Christ warned us about (Matt. 7:15).
“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. 4For there ARE certain men crept in unawares, 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 3-4
“THE EVIL SHALL NOT OVERTAKE NOR PREVENT US” (AMOS 9:10) … This is the Evil Attitude of Some Who Claim to Know Christ….
“All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword (judgment), which say, The evil (judgment for our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us.” Amos 9:10 …..
Note here in this very important verse that the LORD points out an inner attitude among His very own people (of all generations) that has and is leading to their undoing and ultimately the eternal damnation of many. Should we hearken to this warning and learn from history? It is incumbent upon us that we understand and carefully and conscientiously heed this warning before it is too late.
This simply means and identifies the attitude that “our sin will not prevent us from entering God’s eternal kingdom.”
“The evil (our sins) shall not overtake nor prevent us (from entering Heaven).” Amos 9:10 (message of the false prophets of all generations)
Of the cult of Calvinism, Michael Bonacquisti writes:
“Calvinism is a gross heresy and a gross misinterpretation of Scripture…it is a great lie! In reality, John Calvin was a serial murderer, who was counting on his Roman Catholic infant baptism for his salvation. He never had a born again experience. He died unrepentant, not one of the Elect……John Calvin basically hijacked Augustine’s theology and claimed it as his own…..”
CALVINISM: Theology of the godless, spineless moral coward who sits around doing nothing while the world goes to hell in a hand basket. Why? It’s simple: In the delusional mind of the Calvinist, all of Christ’s commands to evangelize the lost are null and void because after all, only the predetermined, “elect” can be saved and even they have no say so in that matter. So, to the maniacal mind of the Calvinist, to obey Jesus’ command to go and preach the Gospel to others would be a waste of time.
Calvinism is not only not “biblical Christianity”, it is a gross attack on the original Gospel of Jesus and the character of a loving and just God. The origins of the cult of calvinism are disturbing to put it lightly. Its roots are cursed. It is “another gospel” and so all who espouse and promulgate it are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9). | Calvinism’s Origins and Historical Roots [podcast]
Moral cowardice sums up the average Calvinist. People who buy this package of lies (Calvinism) only do so because they want no personal responsibility in the way they conduct their personal, daily lives …. they are enemies of the cross of Christ as Paul put it (Philippians 3:18-19) They love this sinful world and the love of the Father is not in them (1 John 2:15) … think about it … if they have no free will, they are not personally responsible for any of their sins …. it’s all His fault because He pre-ordained them to live in sin…. but the Bible says “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” (James 1:13-15)
“Sovereign grace” is the term used by calvinists who hide behind the lie that they have nothing to do with their relationship with God but were rather roped into it before the foundation of the world. In the demented theology of calvinism, God chose only a select few to be His His “elect” whether they like it or not and so they are forced to remain “stuck” with the LORD for all eternity. Oh, and in the diabolical doctrines of calvinism all those who aren’t the special “elect” were elected by “God” to be damned – before they had the opportunity to choose or reject Him for themselves. Now that is a doctrine of devils among many other diabolical heresies espoused by calvinists. The false doctrines of calvinism clearly reveal that their author is not a loving and just God but rather Satan himself.
In Satan’s masterpiece of DE-formed theology (Calvinism), there is the “U” of the terrible TULIP. The “U” stands for “unconditional election” where God is said to have pre-selected certain people to go to Heaven and certain to suffer eternally in hell. This is in the face of the fact that Jesus told us that He was going to “draw ALL men” to Himself when He went to that cross (John 12:32). Christ’s apostle John later told us that Jesus Christ “is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice) for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE WORLD.” (1 John 2:2)
Jesus died for “the WHOLE world” – that’s everyone. So, yet you say God sent His Son to pay the price for “the WHOLE world” and yet He simultaneously ordained – before they even lived – for some to be damned??? That is a demon, not the God of the Bible.
No Free Will?
So God told His very own people to “CHOOSE you this day whom ye will serve” and yet they can’t choose? (Joshua 24:15) In other words you are saying they have no free will to choose? So, God is a lunatic for telling His own people to make a choice they couldn’t make?
So God told mankind to “CHOOSE life” and yet mankind has no free will to “choose”?
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” Deuteronomy 30:19
— CALVINISM DEBUNKED! BUSTED! JOHN CALVIN was a murderous heretic who got his theology from a catholic (Augustine). ISM is just another extra biblical system of theology that contradicts Holy Scripture …. a completely false system of belief… “another gospel.”(Galatians 1:6-9)
When He foretold dying for the sins of mankind, WHO, HOW MANY did the Son of God tell us He was going to “draw” in order to save?
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me.” John 12:32
WHY would Jesus say He was going to “draw ALL MEN” if it weren’t His intent to save “ALL MEN”?
“Jesus Christ the righteous … 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of THE WHOLE world.” 1 John 2:1-2
ALL of Calvinism is straight from hell. 2 Sam. 12:23 clearly proves that all babies go to Heaven! When David and Bathsheba’s baby died, here’s what we read in 2 Samuel 12:23: “But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.” David, a man of God, the very king of Israel told us here that he was going to go be with his now deceased infant son when he died and we know that is Heaven for the righteous.
Now, do you see yet one more of the many reasons why it’s clear that Satan himself is the author of this evil system of theology? Throughout the centuries, Satan has taken from the ranks of the true body of Christ, men who refused to obey God’s Word and were therefore easy prey for this delusional system of theology called Calvinism. You will never see a Calvinist who is a soul winner for this reason expressed above. They could care less. The Calvinist is smug and arrogant and self-righteous based on believing he is the special, chosen, “elect,” a special breed. He believes that God has respect of persons when His Word clearly states that “There is NO respect of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11) Actually, to obey Christ’s command to evangelize the world around us would contradict what the Calvinist’s theology teaches because no one can be saved or will be saved if God hasn’t somehow predetermined him to be. But the LORD’s apostle Paul told us that it was through “the foolishness of preaching” that God will “save them that believe.” And belief is clearly a choice God gives to every man (John 1:12; Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15, etc.).
“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” 1 Corinthians 1:21
Can we now see how that the Calvinism sees the preaching of the cross as “foolishness”:
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18
Being that in his distorted mindset, he has no reason to evangelize, the Calvinist dupe simply becomes the little moral coward who is simply a good church member, obeying his cult leaders like a good little patsy and making no waves with the public like Christ and His apostle did. The Calvinist is a moral coward who likes this little ease of life and hideout because it brings no suffering or persecution or reason to die to self and lose his life in this sinful world.
— THE PERSON WHO DENIES CHRIST FOR CALVIN AND HIS CAUSTIC COHORTS, HERALDS HIS SO-CALLED “CLASSIC” DEFORMED THEOLOGIANS’ WRITINGS IN BRAZEN, OPEN, AND UTTER DENIAL OF THE ONLY CLASSIC, ONLY DIVINELY AUTHORITATIVE WRITINGS – THE HOLY SCRIPTURES! THE BIBLE ITSELF IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF TRUTH FOR ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS. THE CALVINIST TRUSTS IN MERE SINFUL MEN LIKE JOHN CALVIN AND A MYRIAD OF OTHER FALSE TEACHERS WHOSE WORKS THEY READ IN LIEU OF READING AND HEEDING GOD’S WORD.
Calvin’s Cowards
The Calvinist selectively decides, against Scripture, what “sovereignty” really looks like or means. Like a bunch of little whining pansies, if you touch the evil falsehoods of deformed theology, the dupes come out in droves to defend their “right” to have no personal responsibility. They are moral cowards who hide behind the thin, temporal veneer of this unscriptural theology of sinful men and Satan himself. It’s a doctrine of devils (1 Tim. 4:1-3). You see, that’s what this evil system of theology does – it says that God does EVERYTHING “sovereignly” and so man can do nothing and therefore is not accountable. That’s exactly what Satan told the first man and woman – “Ye shall NOT surely die” if you disobey God (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). The enemy of souls promised the first man and woman that God would not judge them if they disobeyed Him (which was a choice). But God kept His Word and kicked them out of His holy presence – they were “cut off” and had to be restored by blood and their own repentance. You are fooling no one except yourself. “They that observe lying vanities (such as Calvinism) forsake their own mercies.” (Jonah 2:8)
***John Piper, John MacArthur, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley, and other Calvinist wolves are real crafty deceivers who are deceiving millions of people who refuse to know God themselves. Heresies serve a divine purpose – to separate those who truly love God and those who love self and cloak themselves with this no-personal-responsibility system of delusional theology (1 Corinthians 11:19). The tares are satisfied to follow mere sinful men and will pay eternally for refusing to be “valiant for the truth” and thereby rejecting Christ (Jeremiah 9:3; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). In fact, because they do not choose to fear God and love His holy truth that He gave in His Word, God Himself has helped them along by sending them “STRONG delusion.” He has done this so that they will believe the lies and ultimately be damned. God takes it personal when people don’t seek out, embrace, believe and live by HIS Word. This is all part of the great falling away we see in 2 Thessalonians 2. See 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12.
***Deformed Theology Dupes: Calvin idolaters will be crying out on their deathbed “oh John, Mr. Calvin, please save me! help John, help!”
Their cries will go unanswered because John Calvin is not only a mere sinful man, he died an unrepentant murderer of more than 60 people and as a false teacher, a heretic.
You could attack Jesus Christ Himself and they wouldn’t dare think of defending the Son of God the way they run ever so swiftly to defend their beloved evil and murderous master, a dead heretic, John Calvin. Astounding! Delusional! Idolatrous! Adulterous! Hell bound!
One writer notes:
“It is common knowledge Calvin was personally responsible for killing scores of professed Christians who disagreed with him about doctrine. Usually about infant baptism, the trinity and transubstantiation. That doesn’t include the untold numbers tortured, imprisoned and those who had all property confiscated. Google Calvin, inquisition and you will see many references. Servetus was an interesting case because Calvin promised if Servetus ever stepped foot in Geneva he would have him killed. He later tried to say the reason he was killed was due to a civil matter instead of a religious matter. What a guy!” Alex Greystone
****Calvinism is a cult no different than Mormonism and here’s one proof: In calvinism, the Holy Bible is demoted. As far as authority goes, Calvinists place God’s Word under the extra-biblical writings of mere sinful men (Calvin and all reformed theologians and pastors and writings). Like the false leaders of Christ’s day, to Mormons and Calvinists, God’s Word is not truly final authority (Mark 7:6-9; John 8:47). For the Mormons it’s the Book of Mormon that is highest authority and for the Calvinists it’s John Calvin’s and all other reformed theology writings that are finally authority. The false teachings of reformed theology/Calvinism are clearly “another gospel” and those perpetrating this system of profound heresy are “accursed.” (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9)
There is NO doubt that any person teaching OSAS (once saved always saved) and the doctrines of Calvinism has a “seducing spirit” behind this “doctrine of devils.” (1 Tim. 4:1) How is this certain? – Satan is the author of this lie which guarantees that any person teaching it is under the influence of a devil (2:17; Gen. 3:4).
One of the marks of a cult (like Calvinism) is that they place the writings of mere men on the same level or above the authority of Holy Scripture. The fact that the Calvinists put John Calvin and those who bought and propagate his myths on the same level or above the words of Scripture, clearly reveals Calvinism to be a cult. It doesn’t matter if in their blindness they see this or not, it’s still the truth. John Calvin was a murderer and a brazen heretic and to place him or any other mere sinful man on the same level of authority as the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures is a spiritual death knell.
***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.
If you are following the teachings of Calvinism, you are following a dead, murderous heretic who was a mere sinful man. John Calvin followed the false teachings of a deranged, pagan Catholic (Augustine). You are not following Christ whatsoever if you are a Calvinist. You cannot follow Christ outside of believing and obeying “the doctrine of Christ” given in the Holy Scriptures (2 John 7-10).
The Catholic Roots of Calvinism
***CALVINISM/DEFORMED THEOLOGY IS CATHOLIC: In the 1536 edition of the Institutes of the Christian Religion, Calvin quotes Roman Catholic monk Augustine 24 times. By the 1559 edition, he quotes Augustine 400 times. Here’s just a snapshot:
•68 citations about the sacraments
•54 citations about the church
•34 citations about God’s will
•34 citations about sin
•28 citations about grace
•17 citations about predestination
One writer commented: “What the Reformers and Calvin espoused was religion, not a personal relationship with Christ. They left Catholicism but took much of it with them when they went. They established another arm of it just as the “Mormon Fundamentalists” did with “Mormonism.” They were basically a break off group of Catholics forming another branch of Catholicism.” Gwendolyn W.
The SOLE identity of His true remnant disciples is Himself – Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Savior and soon coming LORD who revealed His heart and will in His Word.
We are to be identified only with Christ and His body who gain their knowledge of God only from His written Word as taught by His Holy Spirit. We, Christ’s blood bought disciples are not even arminians … even though their doctrine is straight. We must be those who declare Christ, identity only with Him and His true followers and never move the glory from being pointed only and directly at JESUS!!!!! Col. 2
“Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.“ (1 Corinthians 10:21) … calvinism is completely false … all 5 points and there are evil spirits/devils behind this doctrine of devils 1 Tim. 4:1-3; 1 Cor 10:19-21
Divine foreknowledge is never mentioned by calvinist. In fact, in speaking with scores of them over the years, I never met one who is even aware of this Bible word and doctrinal truth – foreknowledge. God foreknows who will and who will not choose to serve Him and yet that in no way means He tampers with with anyone will. He sent Jesus so “ALL men” would be saved and that’s His clearly and repeatedly stated desire (1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 John 2:2; John 12:32, etc.).
Those who authentically honor God do so by honoring His Word and denouncing all religious affiliations and affinities, hating them compared to their burning love for Christ (Matt. 7:6-9; Lk. 14:26-27). These are the few that He is going to save (Lk. 12:32; 21:19; 1 Pet. 4:18).
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:26-27
It’s undiluted idolatry to give credence to the words of a mere man and to follow his twisted line through Scripture, denying the only final authority Teacher, the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 16:13; 1 John 2:20, 27). Spiritual adultery occurs when we alienate the affections of our hearts away from our “FIRST love” and onto ANY other person or system of theology (Revelation 2:4-5). Father, please forgive us for our sins and quicken us by Thy holy fear in repentance!
Calvinism is not the Gospel of Jesus. You are lying against the LORD to say such. You have done exactly what the Pharisees did. You have mixed and replaced God’s pure Word with a whole system of theology that is an extra-biblical system that repeatedly contradicts known biblical truth. God is calling you to repent friend before it’s too late. Mark 7:6-9.
Calvinism is not a part of the original Gospel or the apostolic Christian faith whatsoever. The very fact that Calvinists make statements like that is proof of the brainwashing they have undergone. Such a statement is fully unfounded. Those who follow this false gospel are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 3-4)
Reformed theology is a system of theology removed from Holy Scripture which the Calvinist has obviously been steeped in without getting into God’s Word for himself but rather following the line of reasoning placed, forced, or imposed upon Scripture by the wolves who have schooled them in this evil system of theology. No one in history has ever just studied the pure Word of God, been taught by the Holy Spirit, and come away with even one of the 5 points of Calvinism. It’s a system that has to be taught to others by men and devils, just like any other antichrist cult.
It’s willing ignorance in most cases. Moral cowards who want no personal responsibility gladly buy into such a fairy tale system of lies. Also, have you ever noticed the false, demonic smile on the countenance on consummate Calvinists? After all, they have much to be proud of right…they are “God’s elect” right? What a joke! God says He hates this arrogance! Proverbs 8:13
The Calvinist is ex-ing Jesus and His holy original apostles out of his false theology … Where did they go around teaching what later became crafted, contrived, and sold as “the doctrines of grace” “reformed theology” or “the 5 points of Calvinism”???? Chapters and verses please. You are simply not following the LORD but rather the doctrines of sinful men and God is calling you to repent and truly get saved. When you do, you will bring forth the fruit of repentance which will begin with trashing this fairy tale theology you have bought into.
The moral coward – the one who refuses to die to self – will fight to the death to defend his sense of false security which he vainly imagines grants him license to live as he so chooses with no eternal consequence. This is the exact lie Satan told Eve in the Garden (Gen. 2:17; 3:4). The sinner who wants to think he is unconditionally eternally secure hides behind this diabolical lie. It is a myth, a farce, and a fairytale to believe one can get genuinely born again and then keep on or fall back into sin and still be saved (Lk. 8:13). One is self-deceived if he thinks he can keep on sinning and is still saved. OSAS inevitably gives the gullible the notion that there is no reason or responsibility to repent and confess and cease his sin (Prov. 28:13; 1 Jn. 1:7-10; 2 Cor. 7:1, etc.). Jesus is coming – ready or not. He’s coming for a Bride that is without spot or blemish …. Eph. 5:25-27
“For IF (that means it’s possible) 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. 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
If a person does not truly desire, seek after, and embrace the truth of Holy Writ, God will gladly send him a “strong delusion” so that he will believe a lie and be damned (going to hell). See 2 Thess. 2:10-12.
Have you ever read and circled the 5 “I’”‘s of Lucifer? (Isaiah 12:12-14) He wanted to reign as his own god just like those who don’t want to humble themselves in true repentance and let Jesus Christ truly be LORD over their lives. “Ye are DEAD and your life is hid with Christ in God.” (Col. 3:3) It’s time to die the death – to deny self, take up the cross (implement of death to self) and follow Christ (Lk. 9:23-24). Otherwise, we are not following Him and are on our way to eternal damnation.
After telling some eternal securist that they should immediately repent and cease teaching their diabolical lies, they said I was bringing division. But the truth is designed to and always divides the wheat from the tares. They have chosen to retain lies and are heretics according to Holy Scripture (Tit. 3:9-10). I told them they were preaching something that 1) the Bible never teaches, and 2) that the Bible repeatedly refutes. Jesus preached to many men but all left except 12 (John 6:60-67). The many who departed were divided because they were self-serving, Savior-rejecting, moral cowards who refused to simply listen and obey Jesus. The 12 were the remnant. John 6:66 says “From that time MANY of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.” This clearly tells us that “disciples” or those who follow Christ, can go “back” (backslide) and no longer follow Christ. See 1 Pet. 4:18)
After reading passages like Colossians 3:5-6, which was written to God’s very people, what could possibly be clearer than that those who were once saved and who now live in sin are under God’s wrath and not His grace?
“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:” Colossians 3:5-6
If being “CUT OFF” after knowing the LORD were not possible, why do we find this term and warning when the Holy Spirit is warning NT believers about going back into sin?
Romans 11:22 says: “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, IFFFFFFFFFF thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be CUT OFF.”
God is love and is good towards those who are His and continue to be willing and obedient to Him (Isa. 1:19-20). The LORD is severe in His holy wrath to those who like the Jews, once knew Him and then went back into sin. This is the context of this warning and several other warnings to NT believers. God will severely/harshly and eternally judge those who fall away after knowing Him. He will cut them off from His holy kingdom in His severe condemnation upon sin that Jesus came and died for to eliminate from those who would be His. Need more examples? Read Jude 3-12 and 1 Corinthians 9:27-10:12.
In Holy Scripture, saving faith in the blood of Christ is not conveyed as a one-time, fix all. Though saved on the spot upon believing (John 6:47), that Savior told us that those who believe and are saved, can “fall away” if they cease believing/abiding in Him (Luke 8:12-13; John 15:1-6).
If perseverance is automatic then man has no free will. Calvin’s doctrine of the perseverance of the saints is a fairy tale. Why bother with this diabolical heretic? Why learn his foolish system of theology instead of simply learning God’s Word which teaches no such thing.
Justin Martyr- c. 100/114AD – c. 162/168 AD. He was another early Christian apologist (defender) of the faith and was martyred by beheading. His works represent the earliest surviving Christian apologies of notable size:
- Man acts by his own free will and not by fate. (20)
- We have learned from the prophets, and we hold it to be true, that punishments, chastisements, and rewards are rendered according to the merit of each man’s actions. Otherwise, if all things happen by fate, then nothing is in our own power. For if it be predestined that one man be good and another man evil, then the first is not deserving of praise or the other to be blamed. Unless humans have the power of avoiding evil and choosing good by free choice, they are not accountable for their actions-whatever they may be…. For neither would a man be worthy of reward or praise if he did not of himself choose the good, but was merely created for that end. Likewise, if a man were evil, he would not deserve punishment, since he was not evil of himself, being unable to do anything else than what he was made for.(21)
- But that you may not have a pretext for saying that Christ must have been crucified, and that those who transgressed must have been among your nation, and that the matter could not have been otherwise, I said briefly by anticipation, that God, wishing men and angels to follow His will, resolved to create them free to do righteousness; possessing reason, that they may know by whom they are created, and through whom they, not existing formerly, do now exist; and with a law that they should be judged by Him, if they do anything contrary to right reason: and of ourselves we, men and angels, shall be convicted of having acted sinfully, unless we repent beforehand. But if the word of God foretells that some angels and men shall be certainly punished, it did so because it foreknew that they would be unchangeably [wicked], but not because God had created them so.
Of those truly saved, perseverance is not automatic but rather a daily choice. If along the way, the born again believer denies Christ, He will be denied by Christ.
“If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.” 2 Timothy 2:12
No person in history who has been saved and then honestly began to study Holy Scripture has ever come out with the conclusions of Calvinism. It’s simply not there. The mind has to be led, conditioned, seduced, and made to believe such things as the terribly twisted TULIP of John Calvin teaches. To believe such things is to defy the LORD who bled for “ALL men,” gave us choice, and is “holy, holy, holy.” (Isa. 6:3; 1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9; 1 Jn. 2:2). Then after one has been conditioned in his thinking to believe Calvin’s falsehoods, he is led to see things through the twisted mindset of Reformed theology and so he then imposes that belief system on Scripture, making God out to be a liar. This whole system teaches men how not to take God at His Word, especially the whole counsel of His Word.
The Calvinist is the moral coward who seeks to console himself while living in sin. He hides behind the teachings of a mere man, a man who was a heretic and a murderer. Sounds like Joseph Smith to me. The Calvinist does this by twisting Scripture to concoct the image of a false god who gives him assurance and security while he lives in rebellion. Now that my friend, is idolatry and spiritual adultery (Exod. 20:3-5; Eph. 5:5-7).
Anyone who believes in the myths perpetrated by reformed theology and “once saved always saved” is not a person of truth. Truth-seekers who fear God diligently search the whole of the Scriptures before drawing conclusion (Prov. 13:18). The do not rely or place the weight of their faith in mere men but instead allow God to “be true and every man a liar.” (Rom. 3:4) Such a teaching as an unconditional eternal security is nowhere to be found in God’s Word. In fact, there are volumes of warnings in God’s Word which negate the possibility of such a cliché being true.
The term “CUT OFF” in Romans 11:22 drives a death nail into the coffin of the diabolical heresy of an UN-conditional eternal security – propagated by the “ungodly men” Jude warned us about (Jude 3-4).
TO HIS OWN PEOPLE THE LORD SAYS: “IF IF IF we suffer, we shall also reign with him: IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.” 2 Timothy 2:12
The utter idiocy of Calvinism cannot be underestimated. Such evil and foolish logic, twisting of Scripture, and willing ignorance of its duped adherents is mind boggling. There are many examples that could be stated but let’s look at just one illustration from John Wesley of the image of a false god conveyed through the doctrines of Calvinism: “One might say to our adversary, the devil, ‘Thou fool, why dost thou roar about any longer? Thy lying in wait for souls is as needless and useless as our preaching. Hearest thou not, that God hath taken thy work out of thy hands; and that he doeth it much more effectually? Thou, with all thy principalities and powers, canst only so assault that we may resist thee; but He can irresistibly destroy both body and soul in hell! Thou canst only entice; but his unchangeable decrees, to leave thousands of souls in death, compels them to continue in sin, till they drop into everlasting burnings. Thou temptest; He forceth us to be damned; for we cannot resist his will. Thou fool, why goest thou about any longer, seeking whom thou mayest devour? Hearest thou not that God is the devouring lion, the destroyer of souls, the murderer of men” Moloch caused only children to pass though the fire: and that fire was soon quenched; or, the corruptible body being consumed, its torment was at an end; but God, thou are told, by his eternal decree, fixed before they had done good or evil, causes, not only children of a span long, but the parents also, to pass through the fire of hell, the ‘fire which never shall be quenched; and the body which is cast thereinto, being now incorruptible and immortal, will be ever consuming and never consumed, but ‘the smoke of their torment,’ because it is God’s good pleasure, ‘ascendeth up for ever and ever.’” [From the sermon Free Grace, Preached at Bristol, in the year 1740]
THE DOCTRINES OF CALVINISM TURN “GOD” INTO THE DEVIL. VIOLATING THE THIRD COMMANDMENT BY USING THE VERY NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN, CALVINISTS ATTRIBUTE TO THE ALMIGHTY THE ATTRIBUTES HE TOLD US ARE OF SATAN HIMSELF. THIS CRUEL, FORCEFUL, CUNNING, BIASED, RESPECTER OF PERSONS, PARTIAL, IMMORAL, FALSE GOD OF CALVINISM IS A DEMON AND NOT GOD AT ALL.
Studying with honest heart the truths of Holy Scripture thoroughly dismantles this evil, mind-twisting, Christ-despising system of theology. Here’s a brief historical sketch of the murderous dealings of this 16th century maniac who is followed by many an idolater today who vainly believe they are saved.

The “T” of the Terrible Truth-Despising TULIP
The TULIP is the acronym that was crafted to explain the doctrines of Reformed Theology/Calvinism. Each letter stands for one of the five foundational doctrinal beliefs upon which Calvinism stands. Calvinistic adherents believe and espouse these doctrines. All five phony, pathetic points of this unbiblical system of theology are interrelated. This means that each one stands or falls on the validity of the other points. The very first point of the five points of Calvinism is ”Total Depravity” which is defined in Calvinism as the total inability of sinful men to respond in obedience to God when He calls them. In other words, they teach that men cannot obey or do what God told them to do because they have no will. Now, at this point, if you are a sane person, stop laughing and keep reading. 😉 Contrary to the devilish doctrine of “Total Depravity,” man is not so sinful by nature that he cannot make a decision/choose. It’s called inability, where reformed demonology teaches that man cannot obey what God commanded him to do, which is an indictment upon the Almighty. The truth-seeker need go no further than this very first of the five points of Calvinism to see that this whole system of theology is false. Clearly, the false god of Calvinism is not the one true God presented in Holy Scripture.
Free will involves the ability to choose life or death (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:16; Romans 6:16, etc.). It seems more than obvious that if the person deceived by the false teachings of Reformed Theology hadn’t been poisoned by Calvinistic teachers, that person would never ask questions concerning whether or not man has free will. It’s obvious and self-evident that man has been given free will. Any small child knows that – it takes a brainwashing to be convinced otherwise. If man had no choice to exercise the will God gave him, then why would the LORD tell man to “choose”? Dare we call God a fool? “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE life, that both thou and thy seed may live:” (Deuteronomy 30:19)
CALVINISM WARNING: “ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (license to sin), and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 4
The so-called “doctrines of grace” are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness” or a license for sinning in the hearts of those who trade the truth for this lie (Jude 3-4). Jude tells us that such must be earnestly contended against and exposed for what it is. When the Calvinist is told that he has nothing – not one iota of involvement – in appropriating and remaining in the salvation of Christ, he loses all fear of God and is inevitably not going to be vigilant, watching for the soon return of Christ, or being holy as Christ is holy. “Lasciviousness” is a sin and is the obvious outcome of the teachings of Calvinism which produce just the opposite of the fear of the LORD and obedience to Christ which is what Scripture teaches.
John Piper: Satanic High Priest of
Indoctrination and Initiation
into the Cult of Calvin
WOLF WARNING: Beware of the many teachers of Calvinism/Reformed Theology in this late hour. These are the very wolves the Word of God specifically prophesied would be on the scene in the last hour “turning the grace of God into lasciviousness” with their perverted “doctrines of grace” as they call it (Jude 3-4). Most popular, limelight authors and radio personalities teach this evil system of theology which depicts the image of a false god. For example: John Piper, R.C. Sproul, Charles Swindoll, Paul Washer, James White, Albert Mohler, Kevin DeYoung, Ligon Duncan, Mark Driscoll, J.I. Packer (James Innell Packer), Wayne Grudem, C. J. Mahaney, Matt Chandler, Justin Taylor, John MacArthur, John Calvin, and Alistair Begg, to name but a few.
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
Matt Chandler’s Diabolical Conversion to Calvinism
In the video below, Matt Chandler openly admits to being converted over to all five false points of Calvinism. First off, this is a staged, intentionally created video to sell others on the “virtues” of the diabolical system of lies known as “Calvinism.” In short, it is a sales job and nothing more and it’s not one that is selling people on the Word of truth found on the pages of Holy Scripture but rather it’s an indoctrination of a system of theology that contradicts and twists Holy Scripture to the destruction of those who buy into it (2 Peter 3:16). You will witness firsthand the diabolical workings of John Piper, master Calvinism initiator, high priest of this craft of Calvinism, as he demonstrates his success in sucking yet another younger pastor into the cult of Calvinism. His opening question to Matt Chandler is “How did Calvinism come about?” In other words, “How did you come to believe in the doctrines of Calvin?” Not “How did you come to believe in the doctrines of Holy Scripture?” but rather “How did you come to trust the doctrines of Calvinism?”
Chandler readily admits that “There are texts which I never knew what to do with.” And that’s where the Calvin worship cultists come in to convert people’s minds over using partial truths and mere portions of Scripture to the exclusion of the whole context and full-counsel of God’s Word. For example, they major on Romans 9 while intentionally ignoring Romans 11:20-22 which is part of the same passage.
Matt Chandler is the pastor of The Village Church located in Highland Village, Texas (in the Dallas area). Below is a video of Matt Chandler being interviewed by false teacher John Piper who is a 5-point Calvinist. In this video we see firsthand Matt Chandler’s apostasy into the dark doctrines of Calvinism. Also, see commentary beneath the video. As you view this video, note that there is little mention of Scripture. Instead, Chandler’s “warm blanket” is based on touchy, feely, subjective elements no different than Mormonism and how they determine “truth” by the warm feeling in their bosom. Amazing apostasy! So, Matt Chandler came to believe and espouse Calvinism based on something other than Holy Writ. While he mentions “Romans 9,” he refused to mention another integral part of that same passage, which would be Romans 11:20-22. Romans 11:20-22 clearly reveals something that in and of itself explodes the lies of Calvinism – the fact that covenant people of God were “cut off” from Him and that we can also be “cut off.” It’s no less than a divine threat and promise to all who currently know Him.
CHANDLER AND PIPER, TWO BRAZEN DECEIVERS, CLEARLY WANT THOSE LISTENING TO BUY INTO THEIR CALVINISM, BASED ON THEIR SUBJECTIVE, TOUCHY-FEELY, PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND NOT ON SCRIPTURE!
It’s obvious from this video interview that John Piper is a high priest of Satan’s Calvinism. It’s clear that John Piper had been coaxing the younger Matt Chandler to buy into this Calvinism package. Matt Chandler makes it clear that he had to be converted over to Calvinism and he was by John Piper.
In the video, Matt says something that many have also stated. Chandler says that coming to a full belief in Calvinism was “a wrestle” to him. In other words, he had to wrestle with believing it. Why? It’s simple – so many truths contradict this system of lies called Calvinism or Reformed Theology. The diligent, Berean Bible student will see right through this deceitful attempt to subvert the truth (Acts 15:24; 17:11; Titus 1:11; 3:11).
Watch Matt Chandler’s mannerisms and how he is acting. He’s clearly just trying to please his elder, Piper.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (put to the test) the spirits whether they are of God: because MANY false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
Folks, just because someone can seems convinced or convicted about something, does NOT make that something true. Isn’t it time we begin to obey God’s command to “Believe NOT every spirit” and to “try” which means to test the spirits? That’s what the “noble” disciples at Berea did and God commended them for it. When they heard even the apostle Paul preach, they tested what he said against the written Word.
“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.” Acts 17:11
In this video, Chandler stumbles over his words. He uses the signature add-ins like “I think” and………. But Matt, who cares what YOU believe or think? What did God say in His Word? Has He not spoken? Yes He sure has – “I have talked to you from heaven.” (Exodus 20:22) Matt Chandler is not simply giving literal Scripture and letting Scripture teach those who would listen to him but rather he wants them to buy into some system of theology because he is now coming out of the closet as having espoused it. In fact, Chandler readily admits to not coming straight out in the open about telling his audience at The Village Church that he is teaching Calvinism. But what is there to hide Matt Chandler? Didn’t God boldly give us His truth, the light of His blessed Word? What darkness is Matt Chandler hiding? What is he afraid of? Is Matt afraid that he will lose church members since there is so much expose’ on the doctrines of John Calvin?
DID YOU NOTE THAT CHANDLER GIVES US THE ALL-TOO-TYPICAL SIGNATURE STATEMENT OF DECEIVED CALVINISTS WHO TEACH THAT THE GOSPEL AND CALVINISM ARE ONE AND THE SAME? CONCERNING CALVINISM, CHANDLER SAYS “IT’S WHAT OUR FAITH IS.” IF SUCH WERE TRUE, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT GOD DIDN’T GET IT RIGHT UNTIL MURDEROUS HERETIC JOHN CALVIN CAME ALONG SOME 16 CENTURIES AFTER JESUS AND HIS HOLY APOSTLES WERE HERE AND GAVE US “THE FAITH ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINTS” IN THE NEW TESTAMENT CANON OF SCRIPTURE (JUDE 3-4). SO, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT ALL MEN WERE STILL IN DARKNESS, EVEN AFTER JESUS, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD CAME. SUCH A CONCLUSION WOULD MEAN THAT GOD DIDN’T GIVE US HIS TRUE GOSPEL THROUGH MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN, AND PAUL, BUT RATHER THROUGH JOHN CALVIN WHO DERIVED HIS TEACHINGS THROUGH A DELUSIONAL CATHOLIC PRIEST’S WRITINGS (AUGUSTINE) AND MADE A SYSTEM OF THEOLOGY OUT OF THEM WHICH WE NOW KNOW AS CALVINISM.
Matt Chandler comes out and admits that his people “got over the hump” and now have bought the Calvinism package. What “hump”? The hump of truth is what people have to jump over to believe such things as are taught in Calvinism! In other words, you have to jump over mountains of Bible truth to believe such an evil indictment against our LORD God which is what Calvinism is.
Matt Chandler is very seductive and subversive in his use of Proverbs 14:12. He uses this Bible verse to teach that NOT believing Calvinism is “a way which seemeth right” but will lead to “death.” Wow! Do you now begin to see just how delusional Calvinists are in seeking to marry that system of diabolical lies with the true Gospel? The Bible tells us that those who do not receive “the love of the truth” are turned over to be deceived. The person who buys the Scripture-violating teachings of Calvinism has hated the LORD and His truth and has been sent by Him “strong delusion” so that he would believe this system of lies (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). Satan himself and damnation are also mentioned in this passage (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12).
It’s obvious that John Piper and Matt Chandler are so very arrogant that they are convinced that their audience should take THEIR word for it and simply buy into Calvinism. After all, they did. But who are Piper and Chandler but mere men, dust, and in their very best state, “altogether vanity.” (Psalms 39:4-5)
“Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” Romans 3:4
Only a wolf would seek to lead people to believe something based on the idea that they (the wolves) have believed that something. The true servant of Christ simply preaches the pure Word of God and lets the hearer believe upon the LORD Himself by His Word and Holy Spirit.
“Wrestled, wrestled, wrestled, wrestled, just wrestled, once those lenses get put on you, you can’t read your Bible.” But just WHO put those lenses on Chandler if those colored glasses are colored with that which does not align with Holy Scripture? The only answer would be Satan who is the father of all lies .. The Bible teaches us that “seducing spirits (devils) and doctrines of devils“ go hand in hand (1 Timothy 4:1)
…in this video of Matt Chandler’s apostasy into Calvinism, he speak of the “lens” or colored glasses that get put on someone who is seduced by the evil devils that coax their truth-rejecting souls into believing in the “doctrines of devils” such as Calvinism (1 Timothy 4:1-3). Note how he presents this as a conversion over into this whole system of belief known as Calvinism. It’s a demonic conversion for sure.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits (devils), and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Did you know that the devil has “doctrines”? Here in the above passage of Holy Scripture, the apostle Paul reveals the connection between “Seducing spirits” and “doctrines of devils.” What could possibly be clearer than the fact that there are “doctrines of devils” and people are brought into believing them by “seducing spirits” or devils? In this video interview we see Matt Chandler’s declination into the dismal, dark doctrines of John Calvin, a known murderous heretic.
“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. 4For there are certain men crept in unawares, 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 3-4
If you understand Calvinism, you understand that it leads to futility. Why? Because when a person is seduced by devils to believe that he has NOTHING at all to do with participation in being saved, that person then tosses responsibility to the wind, does not fear and obey God. Satan loves this masterpiece he created, beginning in the Garden of creation. Get the book Lie of the Ages to delve into the origins of Calvinism and OSAS (once saved always saved) theology.
NO TRUE BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIAN IDENTIFIES HIMSELF AS A “CALVINIST” NOR FOLLOWS ANYTHING BUT THE PURE WORD OF GOD. THIS MEANS HE SEES CALVINISM FOR THE FILTHY, DIABOLICAL SYSTEM OF LIES THAT IT REALLY IS.
What is the difference between those who follow Joseph Smith (delusional founder of Mormonism) and those who follow John Calvin? – Nothing! They are both following the teachings of mere sinful men in lieu of God’s Word and are therefore hell bound antichrists.
Only a demon and a depraved, apostate heart could do such a thing!
“‘Do not say you are of Paul or Apollos.’ (1 Cor. 1) To call ourselves a ‘Calvinist’ is to place Calvin above Christ. ‘Calvinism’ is a cult, whenever we follow a man above Christ we have a cult.” Gwendolyn Wehage
The Calvinist ex-es Jesus and His holy original apostles out of his false theology. At any cost, everything must bow to the so-called “doctrines of grace” and “Five points of Calvinism.” The very Word of God MUST be ignored, spit upon, twisted, defied, and crassly passed over in order to keep the tradition of Calvinism. This is that cultic “spirit of antichrist” working in those who have given themselves over to this system of lies. ….. Where did they go around teaching what later become crafted, contrived, and sold as “the doctrines of grace” “Reformed theology” or “the 5 points of Calvinism”???? Chapters and verses please. You are simply not following the LORD but rather the doctrines of sinful men and God is calling you to repent and truly get saved. When you do, you will bring forth the fruit of repentance which will begin with trashing this fairytale theology you have bought into.
Calvinism does not instill the fear of God in anyone which should be a huge red flag. Without the fear of the LORD, no one can know Jesus and remain in Christ. Also, it’s obvious that Reformed theology actually promotes ease and lukewarmness (Rev. 3:15-16).
Not even one of the five points of Calvinism comes from Scripture. In fact, each one of them is the opposite of what Holy Scripture teaches. Calvinism is a mockery of Christ and His blessed Gospel.
Mormonism and Calvinism are very similar ….. Calvinism is a cult where all of the adherents are taught a whole system of lies. They are taught “reasons” why God didn’t really mean what He said. The whole aim of Calvinism is to twist, corrupt, and pervert the LORD’s words. In the face of Bible passage after Bible verse, the Calvinist, like the well-trained cultist he is, has preposterous “reasons” why God didn’t mean what He plainly said in His Word. Now friends, that is the work of the enemy of the Almighty. Just as he did in the Garden with the first woman, so he does today, adding to, taking away, and twisting divine truth.
Quotes of John Calvin … draw your own conclusions.
“Of the eternal election, by which God has predestinated some to salvation, and others to destruction … The predestination by which God adopts some to the hope of life, and adjudges others to eternal death, no man who would be thought pious ventures simply to deny…By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he determined with himself whatever he wished to happen with regard to every man. All are not created on equal terms, but some are preordained to eternal life, others to eternal damnation; and, accordingly, as each has been created for one or other of these ends, we say that he has been predestinated to life or to death. (Calvin Institutes 3:21:5: 06 emphasis mine)
“Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 3)
“…the counsels and wills of … See Moremen are so governed as to move exactly in the course which he has destined.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 8)
“thieves and murderers, and other evildoers, are instruments of divine providence, being employed by the Lord himself to execute judgments which he has resolved to inflict.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 17, Paragraph 5)
“The first man fell because the Lord deemed it meet that he should.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 8).
“Creatures are so governed by the secret counsel of God, that nothing happens but what he has knowingly and willingly decreed.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 1, Chapter 16, Paragraph 3)…
“that God not only foresaw the fall of the first man, and in him the ruin of his posterity; but also at his own pleasure arranged it” John Calvin (Institutes of the Christian Religion” Book III, Chapter 23, Paragraph 7)
“I freely acknowledge my doctrine to be this: that Adam fell, not only by the permission of God, but by His very secret council and decree; and that Adam drew all his posterity with himself, by his fall, into eternal damnation” (Secret Providence, pg. 267.) -John Calvin
“At this point in particular the flesh rages when it hears that the predestination to death of those who perish is referred to the will of God.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Romans and Thessalonians, p.208)
“It could be asked here, if God does not want any to perish, why do so many in fact perish? My reply is that no mention is made here of the secret decree of God by which the wicked are doomed to their own ruin, but only of His loving-kindness as it is made known to us in the Gospel. There God stretches out His hand to all alike, but He only grasps those (in such a way as to lead to Himself) whom He has chosen before the foundation of the world.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Hebrews and I and II Peter, p.364)
“We also note that we should consider the creation of the world so that we may realize that everything is subject to God and ruled by his will and that when the world has done what it may, nothing happens other than what God decrees.” -John Calvin (Acts: Calvin, The Crossway Classic Commentaries, p.66)
“First, the eternal predestination of God, by which before the fall of Adam He decreed what should take place concerning the whole human race and every individual, was fixed and determined.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.121)
“God had no doubt decreed before the foundation of the world what … He would do … with every one of us and had assigned to everyone by His secret counsel his part in life.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians, p.20)
“…the reason why God elects some and rejects others is to be found in His purpose alone. … before men are born their lot is assigned to each of them by the secret will of God. … the salvation or the destruction of men depends on His free election.” -John Calvin (Calvin’s New Testament Commentaries: Romans and Thessalonians, p.203)
“Everything is controlled by God’s secret purpose, and nothing can happen except by his knowledge and will.” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Bk. 1, Ch. 16, Sect. 3)
“What we must prove is that single events are ordered by God and that every event comes from his intended will. Nothing happens by chance.” – John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch. 16, Sect. 4)
“When he uses the term permission, he means that the will of God is the supreme and primary cause of everything, because nothing happens without his order of permission.” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch. 16, Sect. 8)
“He has plenty of reasons for comfort as he realises that the devil and all the ungodly are reined in by God, so that they cannot conceive, plan or carry out any crime, unless God allows it, indeed commands it. They are not only in bondage to him, but are forced to serve him. It is the Lord’s prerogative to enable the enemy’s rage and to control it at will, and it is in his power to decide how far and how long it may last, so that wicked men cannot break free and do exactly what they want….” -John Calvin (The Institutes of Christian Religion, Book I, Ch.17, Sect. 10)
“First, it must be observed that the will of God is the cause of all things that happen in the world; and yet God is not the author of evil.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.169)
“Whatever things are done wrongly and unjustly by man, these very things are the right and just works of God. This may seem paradoxical at first sight to some….” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.169)
“But where it is a matter of men’s counsels, wills, endeavours, and exertions, there is greater difficulty in seeing how the providence of God rules here too, so that nothing happens but by His assent and that men can deliberately do nothing unless He inspire it.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, pp.171-172)
“Does God work in the hearts of men, directing their plans and moving their wills this way and that, so that they do nothing but what He has ordained?” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.174)
“For the man who honestly and soberly reflects on these things, there can be no doubt that the will of God is the chief and principal cause of all things.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.177)
“But of all the things which happen, the first cause is to be understood to be His will, because He so governs the natures created by Him, as to determine all the counsels and the actions of men to the end decreed by Him.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.178)
“But it is quite frivolous refuge to say that God otiosely permits them, when Scripture shows Him not only willing but the author of them.” -John Calvin (Concerning the Eternal Predestination of God, p.176,)

“I didn’t know Calvinists believed that. I remember when I was first saved and I was reading the bible continually- then some started sharing Calvinist teachings and I “knew” they were wrong because the Bible didn’t say what they were preaching. Throughout the years I’ve heard some share these falsities and I knew they were wrong – when we know our bibles and believe what it says we won’t be deceived.” Sherry J.
“Humm. Wow!! It truly is hard for me to keep silent when I see heresy. I just have to say something.It is very seducing to believe that it is all God’s fault not our own.Thank you Jesus for continually showing me the truth. I almost bought into this lie. I do say almost. Thank you Jesus for protecting me. NO, GOD IS NOT A LIAR!! When He said ALL He means ALL!!! Everyone has been, is getting and will get a chance to repent….” CJ
“John Calvin is in the same boat as many theologians, from Luther to Smith to MacArthur. I mean, when you reject any of the scripture or explain it away with private interpretations, you are really taking the authority away from God and claiming it as your own. One says repentance is not necessary one says only faith, another says baptism is nothing and many say all you have to do is believe. Let God be right and every man a liar.” Clint Stone
“The Calvinist dogma of TULIP is 1 of implicating God in sin. According to them man doesn’t make his own choices, God makes our choices for us. This would include the sinner…
God is holy. he is absolved of all evil in the world, and has nothing to do with sin, directly or vicariously through us.
It is because of our free will the evil happens and God is absolved from it, because it is our choice not his.
Calvinism is a threat. Ultimately, this false theology would have you believe that God is a God who is playing chess with Himself, deciding who He loves best out of all His equally sinful chess pieces, like a kid playing favorites.” Marion Mills

“This is a picture of the “hypercalvinist.” An enormous difference from true Reformed Calvinistic theology (which is what all of church history has taught). If these guys are going to speak out against this in a delusional stereotypical way then they should stop setting up straw men to burn down. Are there hypercalvinists? Yep…but not to the degree these with false Arminian theology make a claim for.”
Reply:
Shawn, “all of church history” did not teach the falsehoods of de-formed theology … in fact, what of the truth of the 27 books of God’s NT Word needed to be RE-formed or formed again? That’s an indictment against the Almighty who told us that “ALL things that pertain unto life and godliness” are found in His Word – in other words, it’s complete (2 Peter 1:3-4, 19-21).
No type of Calvinism is biblical…. that’s like saying that “white magic” is okay… when in reality it’s more insidiously diabolical because it poses as being innocent when it’s laced with deadly lies.
Shawn, I am not an Arminian, just a Bible believer. This one verse alone cancels all possibility that Calvinism could be truth: “There is NO NO NO respect of persons with God.” (Romans 2:11) – Now, you must choose to deny Christ by rejecting His truth or to repent and believe the original Gospel which strongly opposes the Augustinian falsehoods of Calvinism and exposes them as being false.

“Hi! Thank you so much for writing the article you did about The Idiocy of Calvinism. I read more than half of it to my family last night and we had a wonderful time in study, prayer, and discovery. It opened my eyes very much, as I previously didn’t understand what exactly was wrong with the evil TULIP conception. Thank you very much for writing this article and I hope that it helps others as well. God Bless you brother!” Abigail S.

“I was greatly blessed and brought to a renewed repentance by reading the article on the false teaching that promotes self love but am flabbergasted by the attempt to refute Calvinism, an imperfect system at best, using the verse about God not being a respecter of persons! Whoever wrote that article is under strong delusion as to the meaning of this scripture. It clearly means that God’s choosing of one person over another is not based upon any supposed qualities God sees in the person themselves but in God’s own inscrutable will. It is a mystery to all who trust in the Savior why they should have been chosen and others passed over. It crucifies human pride and gives all the glory to God! I sincerely pray that your thoughts would be conformed to those of Christ in this vital matter. Let’s all seek to let every word of God’s revelation have its full impact, even when it challenges our presuppositions and systems. Respectfully,” Alan

The Greek word which was correctly translated as “ALL” in English in the Bible, means …“ALL.” So God wills that some perish? 2 Peter 3:9 No He wishes none to perish! That’s why He gave His only begotten Son for the “whole world.” (1 John 2:2; John 3:16, etc.)
It’s a “mystery”?
How is this divine revelation a “mystery” other than if a demon has blinded our minds because we chose to buy into a false theology?
“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.” 2 Peter 3:9
DID JESUS TELL US HE WAS GOING TO GO TO THE CROSS AND DRAW SOME OR ALL MEN? – “And I, if I be lifted up (on the cross) from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.” John 12:32-33
So Jesus died for “all men” and yet didn’t intend to save “all men”? John 12:32
“Therefore as by the offence of one JUDGMENT CAME UPON ALL MEN to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one THE FREE GIFT CAME UPON ALL MEN unto justification of life.” Romans 5:18
The doctrines of Calvinism clearly and brazenly call the very Son of God a liar. Before going to the cross to die for “the sins of the WHOLE world,” Jesus said: “And I, if I be lifted up (on the cross) from the earth, will draw ALL men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.” (John 12:32-33)
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to ALL (not some) men.” Titus 2:11
“Well sir, I’d say in true humility, that this word is an atomic bomb that blasts this doctrine into dust and leaves nothing but any who would still side with Calvinism are left standing without weapons in a thick fog of smoke… Amen!” Tim Smith
“I used to think the same way (OSAS/Calvinism). I encourage you to seek Him and His truth. He showed me that I was wrong and deceived and I repented!” Gloria S.
Alex Greystone writes:
“Calvinists use an extremely poor and outright false bit of exegesis. The primary meaning of elko (Greek word for “draw”) is draw and in the context of John 6:44 and John 12:32 it means “to draw mentally and morally” according to Moulton’s Analytical Greek lexicon. Notice the poor logic and doctrinally driven hermeneutic: according to the Calvinist ALL men are dragged– but of course (somehow) they are not all saved!!! And then amusingly you try to rub this in the face of Arminians as some sort of proof text for irresistible grace!!!! Great example of Reformed exegesis! WOW! :)”
“Brother Todd! Thanks for exposing the “another gospel/another Jesus” heresy of Calvinism. I’m sure you’ve come under fire down through the years, but GREATER is He that is in you than he that is in the world…I’m on the front lines with ya! God bless!” ~Eric N.

“Wait, hold up. He didn’t create sin. What Bible said that? Isaiah 45:7 says God creates evil.”
Reply:
God only creates evil if you will in the sense that HE allows all to choose good or evil, darkness or light (John 3:19-21).
Typically, calvinists purposely refuse to look at the full counsel of God’s Word and hyper interpret, over emphasize, go to seed on 1 verse here and there, while ignoring the whole counsel of Scripture, as they are hell bent on promulgating certain heretical misinterpretations.
See Deut. 30:19; Josh. 24:15; James 1:13-15…..
In what way does God Create Evil? What does this mean? Well, as in all cases, the whole of Holy Scripture must be used to interpret the rest of it. Isaiah 45:7 Examined
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.” Isaiah 45:7
The cultist of calvinism are quick to use this verse to “confirm” their heresy that God ordains and desire some for destruction. The fact that God gave man free will does not mean that when evil happens that God ordained it. Only a calvinist heretic could conclude such. Like any cult, they ignore volumes of Scripture to conclude their delusions. Here’s an example of a passage they pay no attention to:
“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15
At the core, the calvinist is a moral coward who doesn’t want to believe God has given men free will because the calvinist simply doesn’t and will not truly repent and obey God. In his fairy tale delusion, the calvinist blames, indicts the Almighty for the most heinous of crimes, sins. He has created a god in his own sinful image. The calvinist ignores the above passage which plainly reveals that when their is sin, it’s man freely choosing to do that sinning, not God who is “Holy, holy, holy” and tempts no man to sin (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8).
“God cannot be tempted with” evil (James 1:13) and yet God created evil in the sense that He gave the angels and mankind the choice to serve or rebel against Him (Isaiah 45:7).
Notice that Isaiah 45:7 uses the word “evil” and not sin. Sin came about by Satan and man, not God. “Evil” refers to the ability God allows men to commit, hence “the tree of the knowledge of good AND evil.” (Genesis 2:17) God didn’t create sin, He created evil or the ability for men to choose evil over good. The LORD made it possible for man to disobey Him, to sin.
The Testimony of Adam H. who was Delivered from Calvinism:
“I do not believe in the Calvinist doctrine of total depravity. I see unsaved people performing righteous deeds. I see souls coming to Christ because they were convinced of the truth and CHOSE to believe. I see God, in both the Old and New Testaments, offer mankind choices and I see men making choices. I see the word “IF” used a lot in conjunction with declared judgment.
Having said all of that, I DO see original sin. If anyone would like to discuss that, I would like to show you what I see in the Bible. I AM open to being wrong, as long as you hold yourself up to the same standard of evidence you ask of me. That and intellectual honesty is a must. By the way, I hate Calvin’s evil doctrine. I was a Calvinist, until I read the Bible without his filter on my eyes! Thanks.”
Of Calvinism, one commentator notes:
“A Calvinist is like Grover Dill from A Christmas Story. He’s the Elect, he’s on the side of his bully “god” and looks on with sadistic glee while this “god” exercises his ineffable will on the masses of the reprobate. If you dare ask the Calvinist “why?” he will stick his nose high in the air (such is the innate righteousness of the Elect) and tell you simply that “God’s in charge!” and that “It’s wickedness to ask why!” You can’t win with a Calvinist. There’s a good reason why England threw the Puritans OUT; they were a cancerous tumor on the body politic.”

Apostasy
Church History or the Scriptures? [podcast]

Regrettably, “reformed” counterfeits are more interested in the writings of their calvinistic wolves than in reading and studying the Bible itself – reading, studying Jesus, His apostles and prophets.
Unless you have the whole Bible memorized, and have a working knowledge of all the doctrines of the original Gospel, why would you be wasting your time reading something God never said He inspired, such as church history?
IF you are reading more “reformation” and church history literature than the Bible, you will inevitably be deceived for not choosing to have a love for the truth of God – which was given you in HIS Word (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). Study God’s Word itself beloved. That’s exactly what the LORD instructs you to do (2 Timothy 2:15).
We must go back further than the “reformation.” Nothing needed to be RE-formed…. because we have a Bible which is the final divine authority (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). Many of the “reformers” were absolute heretics such as the demon possessed murderous maniac, John Calvin.Beware of those who without saying it outright, place church history on the same level as the Holy Scriptures. Such men are false (Matthew 23).
We get our view, perspective, knowledge, and understanding of God via His own Word. Everything else is secondary, every extra-biblical source, is unnecessary, and can be a diversion. Beware saints. Many today have a skewed understanding of Scripture because instead of allowing the Holy Spirit to teach them His pure truth through the study of His Word, they’ve researched and studied what mere men have stated about the Bible. This they did instead of studying God’s Word for themselves as the LORD instructs us to do (2 Timothy 2:15).
“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.” 2 Peter 1:19-21
Personally, I waste no time on early church fathers or church history. They weren’t ordained, sanctioned by God exclusively to pen the words of Holy Writ, the Bible, which is God’s Word and the highest divine authority (2 Peter 1:19-21; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17). What’s it matter if you know what they said? The LORD didn’t ordain them to communicate His truth to the world. This does nothing but create confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). Many would rather listen to what mere men had to say about God and the Bible than to learn for themselves what God said in His own Word. The LORD has always instructed His people to study and learn and attend to HIS words (Deuteronomy 4, 6, 11, Isaiah 34:16, etc.).
“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
God’s Word is “Settled in Heaven” forever!
“For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms 119:89
Church history doesn’t matter at all and is littered with false teachers. It has no divine authentication or standing in Heaven and is the very reason so many are misled today. WHO told you to study church history or that church history was important? Not the LORD. No Scriptures could affirm such a position. Jesus told us the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth and that His “word is truth,” not church history (John 16:13-14; 17:17). Church history is not divinely inspired, Holy Scripture is and it alone is “profitable for doctrine, correction, reproof, and instruction in righteousness,” not church history (2 Timothy 3:15-17). No one could ever possibly know the Holy Scriptures well enough so why waste time studying mere men who were never sanctioned by God to be our examples or teach His sound doctrine?
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31
ANYONE LEADING YOU TO STUDY CHURCH HISTORY INSTEAD OF THE BIBLE ITSELF, IS A VILE DEMONIC WOLF. BEWARE.
Jesus and His holy apostles made it clear that only the Word of God can wash and sanctify (set apart) the disciple to the LORD – and nothing else.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17
“Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” Ephesians 5:25-27
When you hear someone promoting the study of church history, you can be sure he’s either been: 1) to seminary, or 2) influenced by seminarians.
The reformers were mere men. They were not included in the “holy men of God who spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” as were those who were divinely inspired to pen the words of Scripture (2 Peter 1:19-21). WHY waste your time on church history? We must go back to the LORD and His prophets and apostles just as did the Bereans who tested Paul and his doctrine strictly against the written Word (Acts 17:10-11). Otherwise we will err in our doctrine. Reformed groups are famous for misdirecting people from Scripture onto their heroes of the faith, none of which were sanctioned by God or ordained to record Holy Writ. They mislead people into studying men in history who were known devils. One example of this course, this atrocious deception, is that they herald diabolical, heretical wolves like John Calvin.
ALL of God’s answers are here – in His written Word – not in the study of church history (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 19-21).
Personally, I stay away from the “revivalist” and church history and stick with the Scriptures which are pure (Proverbs 30:5-6).
The LORD has called us to be His humble disciples (Micah 6:8; Matthew 5:3; 10:16; 20:20-28; 23:8-12, etc.). Do we see the call for a “revivalist” in the Word? Evangelist yes (Acts 21:8; Ephesians 4:11). I say this because of some aspiring to become “revivalists” due to reading church history. Sobeit. Yet isn’t it safest to walk humbly before our LORD, reaching one precious saint or soul at a time? Isn’t that a better, more biblical aspiration? (Micah 6:8)
At least some of those many refer to as a “revivalist” taught heresy, such as Charles Finney.
When a preacher has to always be yelling, does that raise a red flag? What’s HE hiding? Is the anointing in the volume?
Reformed groups are famous for misdirecting people from Scripture onto their heroes of the faith, none of which were sanctioned by God or recorded in Holy Writ. As if drawing people away from God’s Word to study un-inspired church history wasn’t enough, they mislead people into studying men in history who were known devils. One example of this course, this atrocious deception, is that they herald diabolical, heretical wolves like John Calvin.
Church history is not holy Scripture and is not divinely inspired.
MANY, instead of studying pure Holy Scripture (KJB), get caught up and derailed by the myriad of false systems of theology that have flooded the church world …. Calvinism, eternal security evangelicalism, church history, church fathers, the delusional witchcraft of the NAR (new apostolic reformation) movement, the Christ-denying heretical word of faith system, etc. The list goes on and on and on. Satan has many snares laid to clutter your mind and life with foolishness. God allows those who don’t authentically fear and love Him enough to study HIS pure Word to be sent “strong delusion” and thereby deceived (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). They are blinded, thinking they are going to Heaven and yet are “Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7). There’s a divine elimination system – separating the sheep from the goats.
1 Corinthians 11:19 is an interesting verse of truth to ponder.
“For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.” 1 Corinthians 11:19
Church history contains an epidemic of contradicting theology and confusion because it’s not divinely inspired. “God is not the author of confusion” (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Many who study church history instead of God’s Word, are caught up in the heretical system of the worst wolf in New Testament history. Yes, they adhere to the diabolical monstrosity named John Calvin, a man who had over 60 people murdered and admitted he received his teachings from a Catholic named Augustine. John Calvin Exposed
There is no contradiction in Scripture because the one true God inspired all of it! Church history is not Holy Scripture and is not divinely inspired. Let us wake up and study God’s Word as He expressly instructed us to do (2 Timothy 2:15, etc.). The LORD never once told any of His servants to study church history. Such is a diversion of the enemy of all souls.
“ALL things that pertain to life and godliness” are written for us in the “Holy Scriptures” which are “the exceeding great and precious promises” of the LORD (2 Peter 1:3-4; 20-21).
The study of church history in search of answers is a misguided endeavor and a waste of the time God has given us if we don’t even thoroughly know the full-counsel of His Word.
What is final divine authority? Man’s history or Holy Writ? Why waste our time studying the works of men when we grossly lack the knowledge of God’s Word? (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Acts 17:10-11)
The study of church history is clearly a rabbit trail of the enemy to keep people from the revealing and transforming truth of God’s Word. The Berean believers “searched the SCRIPTURES daily,” not church history outside the Bible canon of the 39 OT books. Jesus told us to “search the scriptures” because HE Himself is revealed in the Holy Scriptures, not subjective church history concerning mere men who were not divinely authenticated as were the “holy men of God” whom God used and “spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (John 5:39-40; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” John 5:39-40
The Holy Scriptures have as their Grand Subject the Son of God. Like the pharisees, the religionist of His day, those who hear it and don’t repent, coming to Jesus, forfeit the blessing of His salvation.
The “Holy Scriptures,” not church history books, are given to make us “wise unto salvation,” “for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” and so that we might “be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
“And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:15-17
It’s the Word of God, not church history, that furnishes the heart and life of the man of God, fully equipping him for the work of the ministry.
When Paul instructed Timothy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God,” he was speaking of studying the Holy Scriptures, not church history (2 Timothy 2:15).

“His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.” Isaiah 56:10-12
At times, when people don’t know the Word on a certain topic, they cop out by saying things like “Well, we can’t make that call” or “Well we just don’t know.” There are the “secret things” but that does not include the things God has revealed to us in His Word (Deut. 29:29; Hosea 4:6). Let’s not be ignorant of the Word of God beloved saints.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
HOW DID JESUS tell us to know/discern others? By the FRUIT of their lives (Matthew 7:16,20). THE FACT that JESUS told us to “know” (discern) people means He wants us to do so! (Matthew 7:16,20) Same chapter as “judge not” (verse 1-5).
Not only are believers to “discern”, we are to teach others to “discern” – to distinguish the difference between truth and error, whole truth and half-truths!:
“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel 44:23
DID YOU know that Matthew 18:15-17 is NOT speaking about wolves? Jesus is speaking in this passage about “thy BROTHER” which is exclusive to the true body of Christ and the members thereof. Please read this passage afresh and let’s cease misusing it. Many times when Jesus’ people obey Him by exposing, marking false teachers, some will erroneously try to apply Matthew 18:15-17 which is speaking only to the body of Christ and no heretic is a member of Christ’s body. Heretics who teach a lie publicly are to be marked publicly as they are leading others astray by speaking contrary to God’s Word, (especially on an essential doctrine). Romans 16:17-18 etc.
Live Action!
Recently, a dear sister in Christ sent in this warning in order to protect Christ’s body:
“I came across your website and would like you to add Robin Bullock. He and his wife used to be country western music “stars”. Now she is a “pastor” and he is a “prophet”. I listened to him for a time. It always bothered me that they obviously did not honor Titus 1 or I Timothy 3. Now I wish to help warn others. Their is a Rumble video where he talks about cities on the Earth before man and that Satan had lived on the moon. He is one of the prophets that endorse Trump.
Also, false prophetess Kat Kerr talks about “Christmas Town” in Heaven.”
QUESTION:
“Who do you think is a sound teacher?”
REPLY:
Good question ….. Genesis to Revelation – Moses, Jesus, Paul, Peter, John and all the “holy men of God” by whom God gave us His Word (2 Peter 1:19-21). Those are the only men we should endorse!
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“You are too harsh! You seem to come across with a sledge hammer.”
REPLY:
Gospel, truth sledgehammers are God’s way: “Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a HAMMER that breaketh the rock in pieces?” (Jeremiah 23:29)
Perhaps you could learn some things…. right? “Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” (Prov 27:5-6) Are you rebuking when needed or are you the enemy who kisses, compromises with that which God calls sin/evil?
Soft men, soft preachers, soft preaching gets nothing done – it makes comfortable, it coddles men in their sins. No, they only perpetuate people in their sins, leading them to damnation (Isaiah 58:1; Jeremiah 23:22).
Was the message of the original Gospel always soft? Did Jesus and His holy apostles pander to the sinful sentiments and whims of sinful men? No! Read God’s Word for yourself as He commanded you to do – and cease now to be misled by the soft-peddling pansies of today’s apostate modern church world! Repent now. Follow Jesus! Then you won’t live by your sinful emotions but will rather be an authentic disciple of Jesus who loves His truth – NO MATTER WHO IT OFFENDS. But first it must offend YOU unto repentance – to drive you to real repentance and a real, a crucified walk with Jesus (Galatians 2:20). “Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) “You preach this Gospel JUST LIKE it’s written young man, you understand me!” “You preach this Gospel JUST LIKE it’s written young man, you understand me!”
Recently, some guy took me to task on a political post where I was preaching the Word. When asked he claimed to be born again. Then he ranted against me for preaching the Word on that forum and told me that the Bible didn’t belong there on that medium. Here was my reply:
Sir, the LORD is calling you to repent and be saved. Jesus says you are “NOT of God” because you refuse to hear His Word (John 8:47). Regrettably, you wouldn’t know the Son of God if He stood in your face. You are full of sin and self and have no hope outside of the nail scarred risen Savior and LORD. Repentance is essential and if you do get right with Him, you will never deny Christ, no matter where you are.
Recently, while seeking to shut down, hinder exposing Satan and his evil human agents, one said: “Love is the only thing that really matters. 1 Cor 13:1” My Response: “But you left out verse 6 which describes true love in contrast with false love – “Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;” …. God’s love, when resident in a man, will expose error, heresies, doctrines of devils. If not, he has no love at all from God.
“Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:5-6
UNDER the command of the KING of kings we are on a mission to preach Christ’s original Gospel and to tell on the devil and his human agents! (Jude 3; Ephesians 5:11; Matthew 10:26; Romans 16:17-18) Let the light of divine truth expose all darkness – beginning in our own hearts!
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“I’ve been reading Philippians this morning. He says as long as Christ is being proclaimed whether in false motives or true he is rejoicing.”
REPLY:
Yes yet he also calls out “enemies of the cross of Christ” whose god is their belly – their un-crucified, self-serving carnal appetites (Philippians 3:18-19).
“What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.” Philippians 1:18
This is in no way a justification for false leaders. ANY person can preach Christ but that doesn’t make them true. He’s dealing with motives here. We can have perfect – BIBLE – doctrine and be spiritually amiss in our own hearts.
Notice that in Philippians 1:18 they preached Christ. That would mean they preached true doctrine. It was in the wrong motive yet they preached Christ.
Without exception, every false leader will have “damnation.” (2 Peter 2:1-3) In Matthew 23 alone 3 times Jesus tells the false teacher of His day that they are going to hell.
QUESTION ASKED:
“What do you think about ‘lordship salvation”‘”
REPLY:
It depends on how you use the term “lordship salvation.” Most of the people coming against what they call “lordship salvation” are the diabolical, lawless, Christ-denying, cross-less counterfeits who espouse Satan’s system of calvinism.

“So you don’t believe we are eternally secure?” Baptist pastor
REPLY:
Undeniably, un-conditional eternal security is the first lie Satan told to mankind which caused his fall – and he’s still telling the same lie (Gen 2:17; 3:4). Jesus taught “If a man abide (remain) 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).

At times we see people who erroneously think that Christ’s church are those in those Sunday morning buildings they call “church.” Nahhhh …. Actually, their perspective is off …. the real church, God’s people, are always ready, though they be few….

MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“But no man, no leader or his doctrine is perfect.”
REPLY:
God’s Word is perfect. What a man teaches must be the perfect WORD of God or he is a false teacher, without exception. God gave us HIS written Word so there’s no excuse. “Preach the word.” (2 Timothy 4:2-4) Pretty simple. Speaking of sin and doctrine, Jesus and Paul both said that just “A little leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump” (Gal 5:9). “Teach NO other doctrine.” 1 Tim 1:3……”If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God.” (1 Peter 4:11) “If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20) Satan’s most effective wolves in sheep’s clothing are those who speak 99% truth but that 1% of poison is all it takes to kill. You are making excuse but God’s Word never does for teaching anything except the original Gospel. In fact, anyone who preaches anything else is “accursed.” Read Gal 1:6-9. Sound Doctrine
Rose Marie Lenon Tolentino writes: “I was deceived when I was a Catholic and deceived in the ‘Christian’ faith by groups calling themselves ‘Christians,’ but in many instances their faith wasn’t biblical—according to Holy Scripture. I thank God that His Word says: ‘And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart’ (Jeremiah 29:13).”

Hi Sean. You seem very sincere friend…… Question: Does the Bible ever use the words “many true prophets”? No. Does the Word of God use the words “MANY false prophets (leaders)”? Yes. What do we read in 2 Tim 3:13? KJB

(defending Sunday morning and modern church membership) “Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves.” Crystal
Reply:
Hi Crystal …. yes we’ve addressed that passage many times (Heb. 10:24-25)…. that says nothing of going to a church building on Sundays at a certain time and this being what’s important to Christ. In fact the earliest believers met house to house daily amen … Acts 2:42-27 … they simply could not get enough of Jesus who ordered us to serve Him “daily” and not weekly … many pastors use Heb. 10:24-25 in the wrong way …. yes sun is a great day to fellowship and I do it myself and yet, we must not limit this fellowship to sun mornings … in fact, check out the “daily” aspect of Hebrews 3:13 – “But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” We need Jesus “daily” and not weekly. The word weekly never appears in Scripture but “daily” appears in the New Testament Scriptures 22 times. Some pastors are building a business and they want people to associate their so called church building and church business with serving God which is wrong.
Interaction with a Pastor:
Here is my response in a recent interaction with a pastor who was confronted about recommending the “5 Love Languages” psychobabble book instead of Holy Scripture. Unbelievably, this pastor replied with the typical “well they are still on the milk as babes so can’t handle the Bible. Not everyone walk where I walk.”
My Response to Him:
Men of God are called to endear men to God’s Word, period and nothing else (1 Timothy 4:6). All human reasoning must be crucified. Isaiah 8:16 – “seal the law (Word) among my disciples.” “Preach the word” 2 Timothy 4:2. The reason why people aren’t walking in the full truth as authentic disciples of Christ is for this exact reason…. Where leaders take things into their own hands instead of simply feeding people GOD’s Word……and getting them into God’s Word for themselves. We have the words “sincere milk of the word” which is what baby believers are to be fed with and endeared to (1 Peter 2:2). Sharing peripheral sources only retards that process.
“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
Any pastor who is not preaching the pure Word, thereby getting their audience into God’s Word for themselves, is a false pastor.
We need a revelation of the power of the Word of God and it’s infinite divine power.
When the LORD gives us this revelation through seeking Him, we will preach nothing except His Word. Colossians 3:16; 1 Timothy 4:6, 16
By divine design, the longest chapter in the Bible, right in the center of the 66, is on one topic – the written Word of God.
I want to encourage you to read this ultra important Bible chapter, praying before you begin, asking the LORD to reveal His truth to your innermost man along with His holy fear.

Please give us all just 1 specific example where the Word of God instructs believers to pray for wolves? The burden of proof is on you…. and you won’t find 1 place in the Bible where we are told to pray for Christ’s enemies…. but you WILL find numerous places where the LORD instructs us to rebuke and expose and mark them …. YOU are on dangerous ground because you are bidding Godspeed to the enemies of Christ and if you don’t repent you will receive the same damnation as they do – 2 John 7-11; 2 Peter 2:1-3. Regrettably, you are speaking while having no biblical clue as to what you are saying and need to cease speaking out of emotions instead of biblical truth.
MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM AN ECUMENICAL CATHOLIC DEFENDER:
“Jesus preached Love not hate and division. I suggest you unfriend me then because I don’t think Jesus would say or do what you’re putting forth. There is enough hate and violence in this world and I don’t want to participate at any level. Christ Jesus is my Lord and Savior, the Only begotten and most beloved Son of the One True Living God. My relationship is with Christ and He doesn’t espouse hate but love. I’ll pray for Todd, that the Lord Christ Jesus will provide you heavenly understanding.” Douglas
REPLY:
The divine “heavenly understanding” is the written Word of God which He’s already given and which we are all personally accountable to keep and will be judged by (Psalms 119:105, 130; John 12:48; Romans 2:16; 2 Peter 1:3-4, 16-21, etc.).
To make such statements proves you have espoused a false love: Jesus says: “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Matthew 10:34
Jesus DID preach division? – “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword (division).” Matthew 10:34
To speak the LORD’s truth is loving and to refuse to is deceitful hatred:
“He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.” Proverbs 12:17
Jesus preached a divine ultimatum – which divides mankind into just 2 kingdoms: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:16
Jesus said: “He that is not with me ISSSS against me.” Matthew 12:30
Jesus says: “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:18
False love exposed by the Bible: “Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Proverbs 27:5-6
Unity at the expense of truth is an antichrist/ecumenical lie from hell. God’s true people are unified by their knowledge of Him, being born again and based on HIS WORD, period. The written Word of God is the final authority for doctrine ad life for all who truly know the LORD (Mathew 7:21-29; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4, 19-21, etc.).
God is not the author of unity at the expense of His truth. For example: The Catholic church is a works-based antichrist pagan cult and is plainly not part of Christ’s body (Ephesians 2:8-9). Of His beloved remnant body, concerning them being one with Him and the Father and the true body of Christ, Jesus prayed to the Father “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” (John 17:17). The only and non-negotiable foundation upon which the true body of Christ lives, is the written Word of God (Psalms 119; Romans 3:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17, etc.). Christ’s true body is set apart unto Him on the basis of their love and obedience to His truth (John 8:31-32, 47).
So, big shot, you going to tell the Almighty HE can’t judge people and tell us beforehand in His written Word why He will do such? Delusional. 18 times in Psalm 119 alone the LORD calls His written Word His “JUDGMENTS.” His “judgments” – words – warn us to be forgiven so we won’t be judged.
WHO is “OF GOD” and who is “NOT of God”? – Jesus says: “He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
Those who don’t come into and remain in the sound doctrine of God’s Word, are hell bound, sure as you read these words:
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
2Jn 1:8 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
2Jn 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2Jn 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:” 2 John 7-11
Jesus says “JUDGE righteous judgment.” (John 7:24)
Douglas, speaking CHRIST’s truth is not unloving. What you are doing is unloving – because you are still full of self and therefore operating according to your self-serving emotions and not love at all. “God is love” not you and HE alone defines what love is. Read 1 John 4:7-8. You do not hear God’s Word when it’s presented to you but instead put your own tradition and futile thinking/doctrines in place of His Word – just like the hell bound religionists of Jesus’ day (Mark 7:6-10). You do this because you do not know Him. John 8:47 At this point you are an antichrist, a counterfeit and don’t yet see it Douglas. God is calling you to truly repent and when you do, He will save you and HIS Word will be the final authority of your life.
You are acting as if God didn’t leave us HIS WORD which is a denial of Christ. He has already given us His judgments. It will be too late when He comes to judge us for how we lived. Jesus, the JUDGE, says – “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” (John 12:48)
Doug, God is calling you to repent. He will not hear any other prayer. The LORD will remove the logs from your own eye once you truly repent and place your whole faith in Christ alone – who gave you His Word – His judgments.

“I get concerned when I read some of your articles concerning other ministries. Unfortunately you are not the only one. What is interesting when I read some of the information from the quote false prophet list of people you have on your list. I have yet to see your name on their list, because they don’t have one. Their main calling is to minister and love on the body of Christ and those who don’t know Him. Fortunately I have not found in the scriptures the ministry of correction. All I see is the love of Jesus being spread abroad. One thing is Jesus came to minister to the broken hearted, that means humble and ready to receive and not pull down. Jesus did not like the religious, He had little to say except you sons of vipers. I’m speaking from experience, if you continue on this track you will Fall. It took me years to recover from what I see you doing here. It took a lot of asking forgiveness and ALOT OF REPENTANCE, I am being renewed day by day in seeing people through the eyes of Jesus. I’m sure you get these comments all the time BUT PLEASE go before the Lord and ask forgiveness and forgive your earthly dad for what he did when you were 7 years old and seek out inner healing because there is a root to what is in your heart for what you’re doing here. Be blessed.” Bob
REPLY:
Hi Bob.
Thanks for expressing your thoughts.
You say you are “concerned”? Seems like it’s high time you got concerned about your own depraved, blinded state.
Will you call Christ’s apostle Paul a liar and a deceiver for issuing warnings such as: “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived”? 2 Timothy 3:13 Did Paul lie OR is there a real threat?
It seems clear that you haven’t read the Scriptures well if you haven’t found the myriad of verses on correction which is clear proof that the wolves have had their satanic effect on your mind (1 Peter 5:8). Those beguilers you’ve chosen over Christ don’t obey God by exposing other wolves and thereby prove themselves as wolves – who don’t want to be discovered.
True born again saints are commanded to “MARK THEM.” (Romans 16:17-18) Do you know what “Mark them” means? SKOPEO is the Greek word for “mark” and means to put them in the cross hairs – aim in and expose them.
“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (expose, bring the darkness to the light) them.” Ephesians 5:11
God is calling you to get into His Word: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Hosea 4:6
Perhaps, due to your own refusal to love and study and know God’s Word for yourself, you’ve been turned over by God Himself to “strong delusion” so that you believe these lies (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12). This is “after the working of SATAN.”
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
I bet the wolves you’ve allowed to deceive you will never deal with texts/Bible passages like the one above, right? We know the answer.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try (TEST) the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1
How can you possibly believe these false leaders “love” everybody when they refuse to communicate the whole counsel of Scripture which is directly from the only One who “is love”? (1 John 4:8, 16). No, the devil’s agents who you’ve allowed to mislead you intentionally dodge out mountains of Scripture – and siphon out selected verses to deceive the gullible – “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly (selfish carnal appetites); and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple (un-repentant and unlearned and therefore gullible).” Romans 16:17-18
Preaching the Word and rebuking/correcting are a divine command:
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, REBUKE (correct), 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
Of whiners who refuse to truly repent and abandon their life to Christ, Ray Zeitler writes: “Upon hearing the hard truths of God’s Word, some say: ‘But I don’t like that Scripture… cause the Lord told me something different.’ Delusional! How is that any different than the made up fairy tale story from Joseph Smith? Or any different than the golden calf… we saw how well that worked out for the Jews.”
God gave us His Word so we could be CORRECTED:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for CORRECTION, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Bob, you said: “Jesus did not like the religious, He had little to say except you sons of vipers.” Reply: 1. Jesus didn’t like the religious yes but HOW do YOU know that if HE DIDN’T say so??? Your problem is that you don’t realize just how many times He warned of wolves. Do you begin to see how blind you are friend? Read Matthew 23 and get delivered of your little pansy false “Jesus” notions. The Son of God and His men are not wall flowers. Time to repent and God will grant a spine. Do you not realize that in Matthew 23 alone, just 1 chapter, Jesus told the false religious leaders they were going to hell THREE TIMES? Read Matthew 11:12 and stand up like a man – the kingdom of God is full of conflict.
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12
This is a war. No time for being a cowardly pansy. “Endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” (2 Timothy 2:2-4).
“FIGHT” is a biblical mandate:
“FIGHT the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12
“We must through MUCH tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22
You state: ” I’m speaking from experience, if you continue on this track you will Fall.”
Yes it’s more than obvious that you speak “from experience” and not from God’s Word. Been at this biblical work of exposing false prophets for 3 1/2 decades now. The fact is Bob, you’ve already fallen and simply don’t yet realize it. You are part of the prophesied self-loving, Savior-denying generation of those who ” profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” (Titus 1:16) The Holy Ghost foretold that the final generation will have a mere “form of godliness but deny the power (divine authority) thereof.’ (2 Timothy 3:5) Denying the power of Christ to reign in one’s personal life is what the Holy Spirit is getting at here. Read this passage to see the details of this generation of self-loving, reputation-preserving moral cowards who openly deny Christ the right to reign in their personal lives – 2 Timothy 3:1-7, 13.
“There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.” Proverbs 30:12
You stated: “I’m speaking from experience” – and that’s the problem. You aren’t speaking as of the oracles of God. You have not repented and do not study and know the Word of God for yourself and this is why you are still in darkness (1 Peter 4:10-11). You don’t speak for Christ.
“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
To “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” is a divine mandate. And this because “there are certain men (ungodly wolves) crept in unawares (undetected by the blind).”
“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, 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 3-4
Apparently, you were so busy judging me for supposedly wrongly judging that you missed the myriad of resources to help you learn God’s Word on the ministry website, such as Bible School modules, Study Guides, Biblical Literacy tests, and well over a thousand other Scripture-rich posts.
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM with wolves being called out by name, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GOD! REPENT NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! You are still full of self and in darkness (John 3:19-21). You may wish to beware of your collusion and bidding Godspeed to the very enemies of Christ and His cross – which is exactly what you are doing (2 John 7-11). Wolf Defenders
JESUS says there are “MANY false prophets” and you call the Son of God a liar by shunning and ignoring His many warnings of the “ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15; 24:11, 24; 23:1-25, etc.). Oh and Christ inspired His apostles to speak voluminously of this same threat to the sheep of His pasture for which He died. The reason you don’t see this yet Bob is that apparently you are full of yourself – and that’s why we need the cross – something those “enemies of the cross of Christ” you’ve espoused will not mention, much less teach on (Galatians 2:20; 6:14; Colossians 3:3).
You state: “It took me years to recover from what I see you doing here.” Reply: No, apparently, you were being critical and condemning out of your own depraved heart way back then – instead of denying yourself, taking up your cross, and following Jesus – and consequently being full of God’s love to protect the very saints He died to save!
Are you deeply in and studying God’s Word daily? We both know that answer. If not, you’re already backslidden, lukewarm, and ready to be spewed – rejected (Revelation 3:15-16).
THE LORD’S WATCHMEN are obediently on their posts and doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing – warning. “So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and WARN them from me.” Ezekiel 33:7
Jesus and all of His prophets and holy apostles warned. They were true to the Great Shepherd of His sheep who broods jealously over and protects the sheep of His pasture (Hebrews 13:20).
Bob, when is the last time YOU personally led someone to Jesus?
You claim the wolves whose lies you’ve bought are “seeing people through the eyes of Jesus.” By lying to them?
“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.” 2 Peter 2:1-3
Bob, it seems obvious that you don’t know and adhere to the very words of Jesus and therefore according to Jesus, are “not of God.” See John 8:47. Instead you follow mere sinful men. This plainly reveals that you are following “another Jesus” and don’t know the Jesus revealed to us in Holy Scripture. See Galatians 1:6-9 and 2 Corinthians 11:2-5.
What my dad did when I was 7? There you go attributing obedience to the LORD to something you made up in your own darkened heart. This is what the Bible calls divination – or conjuring up things. This is further evidence that you “prophesy lies … of the deceit of their own heart;” “How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;” Jeremiah 23:26
“Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.” James 4:8-9
The LORD is calling you to repentance Bob – to get all the logs out of your own eyes and to cease hypocritically judging others who are actually doing exactly what the Bible tells us true servants of the LORD do.
“Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
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?
4 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?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”
Matthew 7:1-5
We ALL need God’s mercy and yet can only receive such when we do things His way and no other way. Hosea 14:1-2

“No Todd it is not idolatry to study the words of men. We all do it to become educated. It was men (and women) who taught you to speak, read, write, do arithmetic, etc. The men I listed looked at scripture says about predestination and the will of man. They systematically countered the arguments of the men of their days who were making similar arguments to the one you are trying to make. But instead of educating yourself of what the Arguments of Erasmus were and how Luther destroyed them with scripture, or where Calvin elaborated on the arguments of Luther, or how Edwards destroyed the arguments being put forth in his days, you proudly put on display your total lack of understanding of the subject matter. You don’t even understand the positions of these men, whose theology you seek to critique because NONE of them taught that we are like robots, lacking responsibility for our actions. By mischaracterizing a theological position that you clearly don’t understand and have never studied you have created a straw man to argue against.” Bill
REPLY:
Bill, you are an idolater who is either a seminarian or in the least you’ve allowed yourself to be indoctrinated (made a twofold more child of hell) by seminarians wolves. Show just 1 Scripture that even hints that New Testament believers are to be educated in the knowledge of the sinful philosophers and heretical theologians of their day? Waiting ….? “Educated”? Satan educates. You have lived the straw man argument by wasting your time studying mere men and now you defend such vile, diabolical, murderous heretics such as John Calvin. What spirit are you of? The born again disciples of Jesus must know HIS Word and have HIS revelation. Who needs to even know those arguments? Paul warned against such. Knowing the dispersing the truth is what God calls His people to. You are bogged down in the mud of all this nonsense. You’ve wasted God’s time studying the words and beliefs of mere sinful men instead of simply studying God’s Word in the King James Bible. Satan has defeated you in this. You are exactly like Jesus describes the false leaders/pharisees of His day …. He cited them for setting the Word of God aside for their own traditions of mere men (Mark 7:6-9). You have allowed the writings and words of mere sinful men to trump God’s Word. Jesus says that those who are “of God” hear and elevate God’s Word as final authority. You can’t have it both ways and God hates mixture. “Let God be true and EVERY man a liar.” (Romans 3:4) When the LORD says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”, was He speaking of lacking the knowledge and beliefs of the men of that day OR was He speaking of not knowing HIS Word? He answers this question in the very verse: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” (Hosea 4:6)
Total convoluted antichrist mixture coming out of pure rebellion…. claiming to love Christ and yet wasting the time HE gave you on this diabolical mess ….. Satan is laughing. If you knew and believed God’s Word, you’d see this …. He’s calling you to true repentance. When you truly repent, the LORD will instill in you His holy fear and you will study HIS words and not the words and philosophies of mere sinful men. He gave us His Word for this very reason (Deuteronomy 4:10). The LORD Jesus taught that those who are “of God” give heed to and elevate “God’s word,” not man’s (John 8:47).
Historical Fact: Calvin’s doctrines are founded in the antichrist heresies of metaphysics and catholicism …. The pagan philosopher, Aristotle, born in 384 BC, wrote a book he called, Metaphysics. His reasoning concluded that “God can’t feel and can’t change.” This God must be unaffected by anything and unalterable. He is unchanging, for change too would be a weakness and change thus renders Him less than the ultimate God. Aristotle’s God cannot love, cannot suffer and cannot be influenced. Saint Augustine incorporated this philosophy from Plato, Plotinus and Aristotle into his writings which were transferred to John Calvin. Thus Calvin’s doctrine of predestination was born.

Is it wrong to keep money from those in need and God’s work while you lavish yourself in this fleeting sinful world? That’s the Gospel question, right. Isn’t this exactly what the once “rich men” did before dying and being sent irrevocably to hell? (Luke 16:19-31) You mention nothing of being “rich toward God” instead of self (Luke 12:15-21). You mention nothing of using this world’s riches to reach others (Deuteronomy 8:18). Your question could have just as easily been a statement such as: “Praise God for the ability to earn and help others and further the message of the Gospel of Jesus!” This reveals that your affections are on the things of this world and not on Christ! (Colossians 3:1-4). God is calling you to repentance and to truly lay down your life. When you do, you will be enthralled in the Great commission Jesus gave and not making excuses for getting stuff for self in this world. “Minding earthly things” is a characteristic of those who are “enemies of the cross of Christ” “whose god is their belly” (carnal appetites).

“Does true Christianity exist?…’When the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on earth’?…What did Jesus mean by that statement? Especially in today’s modern world where everyone is ‘knowledgeable’ of biblical ‘truth,’ and there are so many claiming to be ‘born again.’ Perhaps our faith is bogus and we worship a pseudo God, one that we project that suits our way of thinking and being. Maybe, we should all analyze and examine ourselves. Because if Jesus knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that there would be one single person truly waiting for Him in true Godly faith, He would not have made that statement!” Josh
Reply:
Hi Josh. Obviously Jesus WILL have a remnant of true saints to come back for, otherwise He would never have promised such so many times (1 Thess. 4:16-18; James 5:7-9; Christ called His people a “little flock” and so we know He has a flock (Luke 12:32) …. who are His sheep, hear His voice, and follow Him (John 10:1-10). There will be those on His RIGHT hand, received when He returns with a glorious “Well done my good and faithful servant!” (Matthew 25). There are those in Revelation 6 who are the souls of the redeemed who are under the altar in Heaven. The full counsel of Scripture refutes this idea that Jesus will return for no one. He told us that His Bride is making itself ready to meet Him and so this again tells us that He has people (Revelation 19:7-8, etc.).

It’s nowhere near the original Gospel of the grace of God in Christ. It’s a false, works-based cult.

Deception. The Bible never says If you can’t say anything good, say nothing at all.” In fact, one does good to say the bad truth about people who are leading others to hell. We don’t know them? Nonsense. We all know them by the fruit of their doctrine (Matt. 7:13-20). Piper is a calvinist which means he’s a false teacher at best. ….. The Bible mandates that God’s people, especially men, be not spineless but rather mark and expose false teachers in order to protect Christ’s flock. The true body is busy teaching discernment (Ezek. 44:23) and earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3-4). It’s time to judge your own heart, to repent, and get right with God before it’s too late.

Hi. Thank you for dialoguing. If the LORD has saved them, He is still working in them to bring about an abiding, fruit-bearing fellowship with Him (John 15). When they are blessed with such they will see that they do not need those conferences or churches, hoopla, and the fanfare of it all which draws attention away from their LORD and Savior. The goal of those church businesses is to make themselves an essential component in their lives. That’s why they are constantly pointing people to their classes, groups, and programs instead of pointing them to Christ alone. They constantly drop innuendoes – to brand themselves. The spirit of antichrist is behind such a displacement of Christ as “Head” of each individual saint and His body at large. Colossians 2 nails this down hard. Anti simply means “in place of” and so this is the reason I speak freely to identify these placebo churches as antichrist – due to their incessant branding, programs, and membership drives (which is not at all biblical and displaces the blood bought membership we have in the one body of Christ). See Ephesians 4; 1 Corinthians 12).

Hi B. Actually it’s a sin with severe consequences to refuse to mark false teachers who are leading people to eternal damnation. Those who do so receive the same eternal reward as the enemy of Christ they defend. Read 2 John 7-11; Jude 3-4, and Romans 16:17-18. It is a divine mandate to “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints” (2 Timothy 4:2-4). The LORD is calling you to true repentance and when that happens, you will get into the whole counsel of God’s Word and live an authentic New Testament life (2 Timothy 2:15). Jesus calls us to die and as we do we have the promise of living or having our BEST LIFE for eternity not now. Paul says that only the “enemies of the cross of Christ” would teach such (Philippians 3:18-21). Please view this: Beware of the Wolf Defenders

Hi Regina. I am in no way moved or angry at what you stated here. It’s interesting how you openly condemn me while claiming I am being condemning. Have you ever read Matthew 7:1-6 and Romans 2:1-3?
The Catholic religion is damning the souls of millions and you are defending this enemy of the LORD Jesus Christ while claiming to be loving. The Bible is the final authority – it’s the very Word of God – and it states that we have “ALL sinned” and are fully guilty before the very Judge of our eternal souls (Romans 3:10, 23). God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son and not some self and Satanically appointed, blasphemous, phony, pagan religion out of Rome that claims to have exclusive rights to offer the sacrifice Jesus single-handedly came to provide. This same Son of God who bled and rose again to save us, also commanded – “Ye MUST be born again” to enter His eternal family and kingdom (John 3:3, 7). “For by grace (unmerited favor) are ye saved through faith and that not of yourself; It is the gift of God; not of works lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Well, as you pointed out, we have God’s Word in the King James Bible and because of this we can have pure fellowship with Him without the tainting of mere men. Lester Sumrall and Andrew Womack are WOF/Word of Faith which means they are false and aligned with known false doctrine and false teachers (Ezekiel 22:25-27). Or, at best people like this are in great danger. I go with the former. Yes there is no perfect, sinless vessel and even Paul had to be checked out/tested by the Bereans (Acts 17:10-11). There’s a spirit that will come on any of us if we fellowship with wolves, no matter how innocent it may seem. I’m talking about blatant false teachers and/or those who align themselves with them such as WOF beguilers. Regrettably, the vast majority of men in ministry are branding in the minds of their audiences their ministry, not Christ and His cross.

Identifying and marking “them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine” of the LORD, is to be a regular part of the Christian life. In an hour when the proliferation of false teaching is mutating at an increasingly exponential rate, those who love the LORD must examine and test everything against the final authority of the recorded oracles of God (Acts 17:11). The following warning enlightens us to understand this:
“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.” Colossians 2:8
Christina, did you know that Jesus instructed us to “judge righteous judgment” and in this case He obviously counted the judgment of His disciples to be unrighteous instead of righteous (Jn. 7:24).
I suggest that you yourself stop judging those who are judging righteous judgment as Jesus commanded His true people to do (John 7:24).
Where’s the Scripture Christina? Where did God ever tell us to pray for wolves? Did He not mandate that we expose them so that their prey would not be deceived and go to hell? Chapters and verses please?
Acts 20:27-32 is truly key to seeing the apostolic faith and how it and those saved by that original Gospel are to be safeguarded against the enemy’s wolves. Also Philippians 1:17 and Jude 3-4. If you name the name of Jesus Christ, please study these passages prayerfully and carefully.
Is it Biblical to Mark False Teachers?
Millions are being taught by the wolves who have deceived them not to expose them. I was personally taught by the wolves who deceived me not to ever speak a word against them. They were covering their tracks by using Scripture out of context to their own self-serving advantage (Philippians 3:18-19).
What does the Bible tell us to do about false leaders who are misleading others? “Mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.” Romans 16:17
We are commanded to never endorse or help in any way those who do not preach strictly God’s Word, which is “the doctrine of Christ”:
“For MANY DECEIVERS are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8 Look to yourselves (take personal responsibility to earnestly contend for the truth), that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth (remains) not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth (continues) in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 7-11
You are defending the right of the very enemies of the One you claim to be serving to mislead precious sheep whom Jesus bled to save …. and claiming it’s love. This is delusional.
It sure IS IS IS our job to judge – The Son of God says “JUDGE righteous judgment.” John 7:24 …. Now who’s lying – Christ or Christina?
Christina, the hatred for Christ in your heart is manifesting ….. you are fighting for and defending His very enemies. How would you feel if your own family member who you thought loved you, went to war to fight for and defend someone who was your sworn enemy? That’s betrayal isn’t it? And yet you seek to dress it up as love. But the Bible declares: “Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” (Prov. 27:5-6)
How does the LORD feel that you claim to love Him while ignoring His words and fighting to defend His enemies that are destroying the people He came and died to save on that cross?
Jesus says “Out of the abundance of the HEART the mouth speaketh.” (Matt. 12:34) Your heart is manifested openly by your own words and thoughts which you have penned here. So we do know your heart.

“Wow! Have any of you listened to the message they preach? Joel Osteen says at the end of every sermon to find a Bible based church, he does not say buy my book. Joseph Prince does in fact preach the gospel and better than any pastor I have ever heard. Are you all that shocked that God’s blessings on these men’s lives can be so great? Yes they sell books, that’s where they get their money, not from the flocks of blind sheep you assume are sending them piles of cash every week. Actually watch a sermon or show just once… many have come to faith in Christ Jesus because of those 2 men sharing the gospel. Is this not God’s will???? To share the message, to feed the poor? Please feel free to contact them and find out exactly what ministry outreaches they are involved in. Also maybe ask Father God what his opinion is on pastors who speak biblical truths… Sounds like a spirit of envy to me. Does it bother you that God has blessed them? May God bless you and keep you on the path… do not pray for me! Do not! In fact I rebuke any prayers you have sent my way for me or my family. I am blessed enough already! Father God leads me and I will not condemn those who speak truths. James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and destroy: who art though that judgest another? What was the commandment Jesus added? To love one another…” Michelle

Hi Michelle. Osteen never preaches God’s Word or the original Gospel. “God’s blessings on these men’s lives”? I guess the Muslims, Catholics, JWs, and Mormons are “blessed by God” too because they have much more wealth than these false teachers. They sell their books that contain anything but the original Gospel ….and make millions. Books aren’t a sin, what’s in them and/or what’s not in them is what matters. These men are selling their lies and have become multimillionaires doing so. God has shown us in His Word what He thinks of these greedy wolves Michelle (2 Peter 2:1-3, etc.). Joel Osteen Exposed

You are now judging everyone on this post who are discerning believers and that’s okay? Isn’t that hypocritical? You are judging/condemning me and/or the others who see these wolves for who they are while saying we’re wrongly discerning/judging. The Bible tells us that if we bid Godspeed (endorse or defend) false prophets who are the very enemies of Christ, we will be judged with them…. —- WOLF WORSHIPERS: BEWARE of the Wolf Defenders … Truth-Despising, Wolf-Protecting, Devil-Defending Agents of Satan
—— SUPPORTING WOLVES (Christ’s very subverting enemies) will land you in hell with them according to God’s Word. https://safeguardyoursoul.com//wolf-protectors/
So far, instead of dealing with this biblical issue from Scripture, you have resorted to personal attack, condemning others who would dare tamper with your idol wolves ….
You are sadly deceived if you think Father God is leading you to defend those He told us are false and His very enemies …. God is calling you to come to Jesus in repentance and to truly get into His Word without the influence of mere sinful men whom you have trusted and made idols of ….covetousness and greed and loving your life in this world may be the roots … God’s Word warns us …. “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.” 2 Peter 2:1-3
Judging or discerning false prophets by the fruit of their doctrines and ministries is not what James wrote about here. No, he was speaking of the true body of Christ of which wolves operating in our midst are not a part. So, this does not apply. They are not “brethren.” Jesus commanded us to “Judge righteous judgment.” (John 7:24) Jude wrote: “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, 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 3-4
Notice Michelle is a classic wolf worshiper. She says nothing of worship to the LORD Jesus but will fight to the death to defend obvious wolves who are the enemies of Jesus Christ. She has no hesitation in condemning me and perhaps others here while she simultaneously judges us for exposing those who have lied to her and captured her soul for satan himself. Unreal blindness and hypocrisy.

BERNICE: Hey, can you discern if someone is prophesying falsely?
TODD: Usually yes. 2 Peter 1:20-21 tells us that “the more sure word of prophecy” is the Holy Scriptures
BERNICE: Ok, The prophecy about tsunami or about the blood moon or the ww3 are they though?
TODD: most of that stuff is very misleading at best …. and hasn’t come to pass when they said it would …. I would stay clear of Francis Chan, Perry Stone, and John Hagee.

(defending Sunday morning and modern church membership) “Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves.” Crystal
Reply:
Hi Crystal …. yes we’ve addressed that passage many times (Heb. 10:24-25)…. that says nothing of going to a church building on Sundays at a certain time and this being what’s important to Christ. In fact the earliest believers met house to house daily amen … Acts 2:42-27 … they simply could not get enough of Jesus who ordered us to serve Him “daily” and not weekly … many pastors use Heb. 10:24-25 in the wrong way …. yes Sunday is a great day to fellowship and I do it myself and yet, we must not limit this fellowship to Sunday mornings … in fact, check out the “daily” aspect of Hebrews 3:13 – “But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” We need Jesus “daily” and not weekly. The word weekly never appears in Scripture but “daily” appears in the New Testament Scriptures 22 times. Some pastors are building a business and they want people to associate their so called church building and church business with serving God which is wrong.
QUESTION RECEIVED:
“Are ‘Godspeed’ and God bless you’ the same? When we hear someone say “God bless you” to an unsaved soul it means ‘that’ person saying “God bless you” is partaker in their evil deeds according to Scripture. Thank you brother Todd for being so diligent in sharing HIS Word. Glory to Father YHWH!” Darlene T.
REPLY:
Hi Darlene. “Godspeed” is blessing or supporting the ministry or minister who is teaching falsehood whom the LORD tells us is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9). In the context of 2 John 7-11, it’s not just an unsaved person John is speaking of, it’s someone who is peddling falsehoods, false teachings and misleading others which is a whole different thing. That person has become the very enemy of the LORD (2 Chronicles 19:2; Philippians 3:18-19). Saying “God bless you” to a lost soul is a good thing. Jesus told us that the Father blesses all – both the evil and the good and that we should have the same mindset/perspective toward them because God is “not willing that any should perish.” (Matthew 5:44-48; 2 Peter 3:9) When I say “God bless you” to a lost soul what I mean is that God did bless them and myself and all men when He sent Christ and my intention is to help lead them to Him.

Jesus Christ is the only Foundation and Chief Cornerstone of the true body of Christ, His Church – His blood bought, presently abiding people! (1 Peter 2; Corinthians 3:11, etc.). Satan’s job, and his human helpers’ (false leaders’) is to seduce and spoil you of this reward, even Christ Himself, by drawing your attention away from Christ our LORD to anything else. Read Colossians 1-2.
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:11
“He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.” Deuteronomy 32:4
“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” Isaiah 28:16
1 Peter 2
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
1Pe 2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
1Pe 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1Pe 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
1Pe 2:8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:” … May your study of Jesus Christ deepen …. here’s some help Colossal Colossians!

“Thanks for your phone number, I will call sometime…back in the 80’s I sat under the teachings of a minister named Hobart Freeman, it seemed to be very sound doctrine but things fell apart so I’ve been kind of a loner biblically but believing to belong to a group of strong believers that don’t follow the status quo of today’s ear tickling ministers.” Tom S.
REPLY:
Well that may be the best place to be brother … we learn so many false and fake ways amidst the apostate modern church world…. God has to pull us out, if we are listening to Him … to “come out from among them and be ye separate” and that involves stopping going to and being influenced by them …. they are following each other and not Christ … for generations.
