Update: Recently someone sent me a new video from Jim Staley. Regrettably, he continues to push the heresy that one must understand the old before they can understand the new.
This is heresy. He’s teaching that we who are born again, the Holy Ghost (divine Teacher) indwelling us, CAN’T understand the things of God under the NEW Covenant we now live in if we don’t first understand the mere types and shadows that were under the old testament. 100% a lie. Beware. Jim Staley is a typical judaizer who sees the new through the old, instead of seeing the old through the New Testament. Read Hebrews 8-10 which informs us that the New Covenant replaced the old and is infinitely superior to it. Staley seeks to seduce saved-by-grace-through-faith NEW Testament saints to go back under law-keeping for righteousness – that’s his end goal. Read Galatians and you will see that Paul would have him “cut off.” (Galatians 3:1-3; 5:12). No where in the New Testament Scriptures do we see such a statement – that NEW Testament saints can’t understand what’s written for them in the 27 book canon of the New Covenant Scriptures without knowing the mere types and shadows of the old covenant. This is “the spirit of antichrist” at work, denying that Christ has come in the flesh and died to take away law-keeping for righteousness, having paid in full for the sins of mankind, blotting out the law for rightesouness, taking it away (Romans 10:4; Colossians 2:14-19; 1 John 4:1-3). “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Read Galatians.
“Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.” Proverbs 25:14
These videos make it clear that Jim Staley is what the Bible calls “a novice” who is not fit to be in public ministry “lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.”
“Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.” 1 Timothy 3:6
Jim Staley seems to be the typical young guy here who vainly believes that because he can draw a crowd that he is a divinely called out pastor/elder. I am told that Jim has 60-70 church attendees. Yet, the videos seem to project him as a mega church pastor, whether intended or not. (video below)
Pray for this man. He seems to clearly attempt to position himself as spiritually superior to others, wielding his witchcraft over them in order to gain that top position in their lives – In place of Christ! THAT IS the “spirit of antichrist” which means “in place of Christ“! (Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19; 1 John 4:1-3, etc.). | Seminary Scam Industry (video) It’s the Nicolaitan leadership Jesus hates (Revelation 2:6, 15). Nico = conquer. Laity = the people.
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power …. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19
When we allow a man to overcome us by lies, seeking to position himself over us and between us and God, dissing Jesus the only Savior/Mediator, that is witchcraft.
“for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” 2 Peter 2:19
When we allow a man to “overcome” us with lies, he then brings us “in bondage.”
Paul said: “Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.” (2 Corinthians 1:24) This is Nicolataine lies which Jesus said He hates! (Revelation 2:6, 15) Nico-Laitane is two words conjoined. Nico means “to conquer” and “laintanes means “the people.” | THE DEEDS AND DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANES
This is yet another airbag wolf. People are so gullible. WHY would anyone waste 60 seconds looking to this mere sinful man who doesn’t simply preach the Word? 2 Timothy 4:2-3 in fulfillment.
“These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.” 2 Peter 2:17
“These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;” Jude 12
“I can’t tell you how frustrated I am with this anti-christ stuff. A few people have tried and tried to convert me to the HR (Hebrews Roots) movement, sending me Staley’s videos, books, etc. Sigh………..Honestly, I feel very sad for those who get led away from the Freedom found in Christ and are led right back into bondage and works of the law, trying to justify themselves before God. Did they not learn anything from Paul’s teachings on the matter? Unfortunately, some of the HR people completely reject Paul, saying he either was mistaken, a false prophet/teacher, or we just are misunderstanding his teachings.” Cindy W.

I’ve seen no proof of what you are saying. He doesn’t present himself as a megachurch. That is laughable. The camera shows his audience every so often and it doesn’t portray or try to portray a megachurch. What difference does it make a difference anyway? I know smaller churches that the spirit moves in, way stronger than the megachurches. I would be very careful as you are more on the lines of judging, not calling out sin. Everything I have watched of Jim Stanley comes right out of the Bible with the scripture, the book, chapter, and verse recited. Seems to me, you are judging this man for the crime he committed. All make mistakes and we are all cleaned by the blood of Jesus if we accept him and repent our sins. There are so many of you now pointing your finger at someone when ten fingers are pointing at you. The man seems very knowledgeable and maybe you resent his ability to explain the Bible. I have not seen any false teachings that I have seen. I ask you to post your evidence on Jim Stanley spreading false teachings. In fact I challenge you to do this.
Okay Brad, let me get this straight, you are making the claim that I am wrongly judging Staley while you simultaneously judge me? Wow. Isn’t that hypocrisy? In other words you are saying that it’s ok for you to judge me with no specific evidence that warrants such all due to the soul tie you have created with Staley. Interesting. The fact that you claim that YOU haven’t seen any unbiblical doctrines that Staley is teaching is no evidence that he’s not teaching falsely. Staley is a judaizer. Do you know what a judaizer is? Have you ever read the book of Galatians? If he is a judaizer he is teaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) The intent of exposing Jim Staley is to protect the body of Christ (Rom 16:17-18; Col. 1:28; Jude 3, etc.). Watch this and repent and cease defending, cease bidding God speed to the enemies of Christ. 2 John 10-11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-E2mflKEJw

I am not going to engage in an argument about a man’s faith, that is not our duty. Also, I never judged you, so please step down from the high horse. I only asked for proof, as your video proved nothing. The only statement I was making was to be careful, because I feel you are teetering judgement and calling out sin. That’s it. I was calling out a potential sin to give awareness so you can search deeper in the Lord to make sure where your heart is about your stance. I have not seen Jim Staley forcing the Hebrew movement. I do see him giving a Bible study to give a better understanding of some scriptures. I have been in Church since a very small child, and I’ve seen many preachers giving Hebrew meanings as well as Greek. Again, never judged you, only said be careful, meaning that I would pray, watch some more of Jim’s message, and see where you are at then. You only mentioned a few things in the video. This is not solid proof for me. Who knows, the more I watch him, the more I may lean on your side. Again, not going to argue a mans motives. That is not up to us. If he is a false profit, it will become evident to believers who study their Bible.
If you will reread your first comment, you may see that yes, you did judge me. Not a bother to me at all, just pointing things out to help you to repent and truly get into God’s Word and cease making statements and conclusions that are not biblical. Memorize 2 Tim 2:15 KJB You make yet another un-scriptural statement when you say: “I am not going to engage in an argument about a man’s faith, that is not our duty.” Jesus says otherwise – “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matt (7:15-20)
If the evidence in those videos doesn’t prove to you that Staley is a false prophet, you are in need of getting saved. You are the one in sin for covering for a false teacher and so you need to not “be careful” but rather to repent.
Know the Truth and Do Not Conceal Lies or Liars
“Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou CONCEAL (cover for, defend) him.” Deuteronomy 13:8
Never “consent” to nor “conceal” an enemy of God lest you be the enemy of the LORD.
In Deuteronomy 13, we are instructed not to “conceal” a false prophet. In this specific case the LORD tells His people not to “conceal” any prophet who accurately foretells the future (prophesies), which actually does come to pass, yet seeks to lead God’s people astray through false teaching.
Those who have empathy for Satan’s agents and no mercy for those they’ve deceived and hurt, are pitifully demonic. Repent now you vile devil or you will go irrevocably to the same hell as those evil doers you defend! (Ezekiel 14:10; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11)
The LORD is calling us to maturity in His holy fear. We are to come to the place where we refuse to conceal or hide any person operating as a Christian leader who is leading God’s people astray through his false doctrine.
The Deuteronomy 13 text holds an extremely important discernment key that will surely help save people from the deceptions that abound in today’s church-world. So many Christians today believe that, where there are miracles or accurate prophecies, it has to be of God. They do not consider though that the devil has always had power to unleash miracles.
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:9
A plethora of “strange fire” experiences and phenomena are being pawned off as being from God (Lev.10:1-2).
One of the biggest errors believers make is thinking that any miracle automatically validates that phenomenon as proceeding from divine origin. This is simply not true. All miracles, signs, and wonders are not from God. “Satan” works in our midst “with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
Deuteronomy 13:8 tells us not to “conceal” those who work against the LORD by leading people away from Him while claiming to be one of His leaders. God instructs us NOT to hide, make excuse for, or in any way cover for deceitful workers, and if we do, we become enemies of the Almighty.
The exposing of those who have determined to undermine the doctrines of the LORD is a matter of walking in obedience and truthfulness. “Lie not against the truth” (James 3:14).
Did you realize that those who befriend God’s enemies become the LORD’s enemies?
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer (prophet) went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the LORD? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. ~ 2 Chronicles 19:2
Those who “bid Godspeed” to false teachers enable and endorse and condone them. And, by doing such, make themselves the very enemies of Christ.
The reason you condone the evil wolves posing as Christ’s ministers is that you do not know Jesus but are rather a self-serving devil, full of self, refusing to repent for real.
“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 10-11
Apparently you are biblically illiterate since you continue to state YOUR own points using no Scripture.
If a man is publicly teaching false doctrine. He must be exposed by the true body of Christ (Rom 16:17-18). He never said “beware of judging other men’s motives.” He did say to “mark them” that teach false doctrine (Rom 16:17-18). Yet you are working for the enemy to question such – to question “earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints.” (Jude 3) Jesus says to should the darkness from the housetops, boldly, with no fear of mere men (Matthew 10:26-28) Your own words and agenda are betraying you. “Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.” (Prov 20:11) Jesus says: “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” (Matt 12:34)

“Glory to God, brother! We know that the Word of God is not imprisoned. Jeremiah was in the prison courtyard, and God said, ‘Call to me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.’ And we know that the word of God never returns empty; it always fulfills its purpose, brother. So we fully trust that God will do the work to expand His kingdom for His honor and glory. To Him be all the honor, brother. Blessings.” Juan

Jesus Calling Devotional Exposed: 10 Things You Might Not Know
“I know so many who are so deceived by this book!! The author is a woman and she makes Jesus sound like your boyfriend who is so in love with you he can’t bare a minute without you! It is sickening! Plus she says the Bible was not enough for her. She needed more. This author died and if she did repent of her blasphemy against a holy God she is burning in hell as we speak. There are not two Jesus’s! This book presents a weak, tolerant of all your sin, pathetic, spineless ‘Jesus.’ This false ‘Jesus’ just sits in heaven google-eyed over you and how much He can’t live one minute without you in His presence! This is opposite of the fierce Christ who calls out sin and hypocrisy, who took a whip to the money changers and flipped over tables in righteous anger! Mathew 23 shows us some of the most severe rebukes in all the New Testament. This is the Jesus true disciples chose to follow! May this new documentary open the eyes of many so-called Christians to how demonic and evil this book is.” Karen Cochran
BEWARE of the Jesus Calling devotional book which is written by a full blown heretic, Sarah Young. This book continually assures things to lost souls (catholics, etc.) reserved only for the true Christian. It promises salvation, assurance, grace, mercy, the glory of God, etc to lost hell bound idolatrous sinners. Like antichrist Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life book, Jesus Calling never calls sinners to repent which is a Gospel essential and without which God will never save any soul from sin and hell (Luke 13:3, 5). You will never hear Jesus’ born again commanded or command to repent in this heretical devotional book title Jesus Calling. This monstrosity simply confirms sinners in their sin, sealing their doom in the lake of fire (Jeremiah 23:17; Lamentations 2:14, etc.).
Sarah Young is just another self-willed false prophet who does “ministry” her way, not God’s, in order to sell books and to mislead eternal souls into eternal damnation.
The blessings of God in Christ’s salvation are reserved only for those born again “in Christ,” and never for hell bound religious idolaters (John 15:7; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 2 Peter 1:1-4, etc.).
Stacy Strother writes:
“Her subtly, deceptive, doctrinally corrupt fairy tale version of what she calls bible studies for all the different ages of people, including children’s bible studies, teen and other, are found in the book stores—shelves filled full.
She is deceived, a false witness, False bible teacher, and has not heard from our Jesus—the Christ, Son of the living God, of which, is the very Word of God.
She hears from demons. Period! She needs to REPENT, and be born again! Please Lord Jesus, help her see her own demise!”

What should be our view of and responsibility to God-ordained civil authorities?
In light of these truths, it seems wise to remove oneself and family from the country, state, or local jurisdiction that is not punishing evildoers as God has ordained.
CRUSHING AND SEPARATING EVIL DOERS FROM THE GOOD PEOPLE IS GOD’S ORDAINED DUTY AND WILL FOR CIVIL AUTHORITIES TO CARRY OUT.
“A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them.” Proverbs 20:26
A king or civil servant, ruler will destroy the wicked, he will truck them, he will crush them! Read the above verse again.
“The phrase ‘bringeth the wheel over them’ comes from Proverbs 20:26. It refers to the act of a wise king punishing or dealing with the wicked, particularly through the process of threshing (separating the good from the bad). The ‘wheel’ imagery suggests a thorough and often harsh application of this punishment.”
“Proverbs 20:26: Bringeth the wheel over them – He threshes them in his anger, as the wheel does the grain on the threshing-floor. Every one knows that grain was separated from its husks, in Palestine, by the feet of the oxen trampling among the sheaves, or bringing a rough-shod wheel over them. Asiatic kings often threshed their people, to bring out their property; but this is not what is intended here.” Adam Clarke
God ordained civil authorities to punish EVIL DOERS and not the good people! Any civil authority, whether an individual or the whole governmental system that punishes the good people, that weaponizes the system to destroy lawful, law abiding citizens, should be replaced. The framers of our Constitution actually set that in place.
God bless our Constitutionally abiding law enforcement which God ordains in order to punish evil doers. “Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him FOR THE PUNISHMENT OF EVILDOERS, and for the praise of them that do well.” (1 Peter 2:13-14)
“He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.” Proverbs 17:15
Read Romans 13 and notice…. Civil Rulers, including the Police, are ordained of God to punish those who do evil. They are His “ministers.” A few bad cops doesn’t change this fact. Oh, and notice how criminals all go to hell—“damnation.”
Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2:12-14 …. whenever government isn’t punishing evil doers, and instead, turns and punishes well doers, that government is the antitheses, the opposite of what God ordained civil government for and should be abolished.
Submission to the Authorities
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Fulfilling the Law Through Love 8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” Romans 13
Truth: This priesthood of fake pastors bowed to Satan long ago. They are antichrists who bought into and even defend Satan’s fake “bibles” and teach heresies such as eternal security, etc.
Submission to civil authority has its limits and is contingent upon those authorities who are punishing evil doers and not having become the evil doers who then turn and punish the righteous.
Submission to Authority
“Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.” 1 Peter 2:13-14
Jesus died. He shed His precious blood to redeem His people “out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;” Revelation 5:9
“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8

WHO ELSE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS DAY? “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7 There […]
The Golden Rule Life: What's that Really Mean? [podcast]
Thinking, Knowing, Applying, and Doing the Golden Rule of Jesus Golden Rule living is the only way to live in glorification of our Maker. Spread this word. God calls you, yes you – to love Him supremely and to love your neighbor as you wish to be loved, treated (Matthew 7:12; 22:37-40; Philippians 2:3-5). We must teach ourselves, our children and those around us the Golden Rule. “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets” (Matthew 7:12). Jesus is coming. “Golden Rule, […]

I’ve seen no proof of what you are saying. He doesn’t present himself as a megachurch. That is laughable. The camera shows his audience every so often and it doesn’t portray or try to portray a megachurch. What difference does it make a difference anyway? I know smaller churches that the spirit moves in, way stronger than the megachurches. I would be very careful as you are more on the lines of judging, not calling out sin. Everything I have watched of Jim Stanley comes right out of the Bible with the scripture, the book, chapter, and verse recited. Seems to me, you are judging this man for the crime he committed. All make mistakes and we are all cleaned by the blood of Jesus if we accept him and repent our sins. There are so many of you now pointing your finger at someone when ten fingers are pointing at you. The man seems very knowledgeable and maybe you resent his ability to explain the Bible. I have not seen any false teachings that I have seen. I ask you to post your evidence on Jim Stanley spreading false teachings. In fact I challenge you to do this.

Okay Brad, let me get this straight, you are making the claim that I am wrongly judging Staley while you simultaneously judge me? Wow. Isn’t that hypocrisy? In other words you are saying that it’s ok for you to judge me with no specific evidence that warrants such all due to the soul tie you have created with Staley. Interesting. The fact that you claim that YOU haven’t seen any unbiblical doctrines that Staley is teaching is no evidence that he’s not teaching falsely. Staley is a judaizer. Do you know what a judaizer is? Have you ever read the book of Galatians? If he is a judaizer he is teaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) The intent of exposing Jim Staley is to protect the body of Christ (Rom 16:17-18; Col. 1:28; Jude 3, etc.). Watch this and repent and cease defending, cease bidding God speed to the enemies of Christ. 2 John 10-11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-E2mflKEJw

I am not going to engage in an argument about a man’s faith, that is not our duty. Also, I never judged you, so please step down from the high horse. I only asked for proof, as your video proved nothing. The only statement I was making was to be careful, because I feel you are teetering judgement and calling out sin. That’s it. I was calling out a potential sin to give awareness so you can search deeper in the Lord to make sure where your heart is about your stance. I have not seen Jim Staley forcing the Hebrew movement. I do see him giving a Bible study to give a better understanding of some scriptures. I have been in Church since a very small child, and I’ve seen many preachers giving Hebrew meanings as well as Greek. Again, never judged you, only said be careful, meaning that I would pray, watch some more of Jim’s message, and see where you are at then. You only mentioned a few things in the video. This is not solid proof for me. Who knows, the more I watch him, the more I may lean on your side. Again, not going to argue a mans motives. That is not up to us. If he is a false profit, it will become evident to believers who study their Bible.

If you will reread your first comment, you may see that yes, you did judge me. Not a bother to me at all, just pointing things out to help you to repent and truly get into God’s Word and cease making statements and conclusions that are not biblical. Memorize 2 Tim 2:15 KJB You make yet another un-scriptural statement when you say: “I am not going to engage in an argument about a man’s faith, that is not our duty.” Jesus says otherwise – “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Mat 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Mat 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Mat 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mat 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matt (7:15-20)
If the evidence in those videos doesn’t prove to you that Staley is a false prophet, you are in need of getting saved. You are the one in sin for covering for a false teacher and so you need to not “be careful” but rather to repent.
Know the Truth and Do Not Conceal Lies or Liars
“Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou CONCEAL (cover for, defend) him.” Deuteronomy 13:8
Never “consent” to nor “conceal” an enemy of God lest you be the enemy of the LORD.
In Deuteronomy 13, we are instructed not to “conceal” a false prophet. In this specific case the LORD tells His people not to “conceal” any prophet who accurately foretells the future (prophesies), which actually does come to pass, yet seeks to lead God’s people astray through false teaching.
Those who have empathy for Satan’s agents and no mercy for those they’ve deceived and hurt, are pitifully demonic. Repent now you vile devil or you will go irrevocably to the same hell as those evil doers you defend! (Ezekiel 14:10; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 2 John 10-11)
The LORD is calling us to maturity in His holy fear. We are to come to the place where we refuse to conceal or hide any person operating as a Christian leader who is leading God’s people astray through his false doctrine.
The Deuteronomy 13 text holds an extremely important discernment key that will surely help save people from the deceptions that abound in today’s church-world. So many Christians today believe that, where there are miracles or accurate prophecies, it has to be of God. They do not consider though that the devil has always had power to unleash miracles.
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders. ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:9
A plethora of “strange fire” experiences and phenomena are being pawned off as being from God (Lev.10:1-2).
One of the biggest errors believers make is thinking that any miracle automatically validates that phenomenon as proceeding from divine origin. This is simply not true. All miracles, signs, and wonders are not from God. “Satan” works in our midst “with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
Deuteronomy 13:8 tells us not to “conceal” those who work against the LORD by leading people away from Him while claiming to be one of His leaders. God instructs us NOT to hide, make excuse for, or in any way cover for deceitful workers, and if we do, we become enemies of the Almighty.
The exposing of those who have determined to undermine the doctrines of the LORD is a matter of walking in obedience and truthfulness. “Lie not against the truth” (James 3:14).
Did you realize that those who befriend God’s enemies become the LORD’s enemies?
And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer (prophet) went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, Shouldest thou help the ungodly and love them that hate the LORD? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the LORD. ~ 2 Chronicles 19:2
Those who “bid Godspeed” to false teachers enable and endorse and condone them. And, by doing such, make themselves the very enemies of Christ.
The reason you condone the evil wolves posing as Christ’s ministers is that you do not know Jesus but are rather a self-serving devil, full of self, refusing to repent for real.
“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 10-11
Apparently you are biblically illiterate since you continue to state YOUR own points using no Scripture.
If a man is publicly teaching false doctrine. He must be exposed by the true body of Christ (Rom 16:17-18). He never said “beware of judging other men’s motives.” He did say to “mark them” that teach false doctrine (Rom 16:17-18). Yet you are working for the enemy to question such – to question “earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints.” (Jude 3) Jesus says to should the darkness from the housetops, boldly, with no fear of mere men (Matthew 10:26-28) Your own words and agenda are betraying you. “Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.” (Prov 20:11) Jesus says: “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” (Matt 12:34)

…”getting the power of God into your life by *doing those things*… that i am teaching you”…
Galatians 3:1-3
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? [2] This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? [3] Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
2 Timothy 3:13
…and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Thanks for the link Tom. Here’s my comment under that Staley video you sent:
Regrettably, he continues to push the heresy that one must understand the old before they can understand the new.
This is heresy. He’s teaching that we who are born again, the Holy Ghost (divine Teacher) indwelling us, CAN’T understand the things of God under the NEW Covenant we now live in if we don’t first understand the mere types and shadows that were under the old testament. 100% a lie. Beware. Jim Staley is a typical judaizer who sees the new through the old, instead of seeing the old through the New Testament. Read Hebrews 8-10 which informs us that the New Covenant replaced the old and is infinitely superior to it. Staley seeks to seduce saved-by-grace-through-faith NEW Testament saints to go back under law-keeping for righteousness – that’s his end goal. Read Galatians and you will see that Paul would have him “cut off.” (Galatians 3:1-3; 5:12). No where in the New Testament Scriptures do we see such a statement – that NEW Testament saints can’t understand what’s written for them in the 27 book canon of the New Covenant Scriptures without knowing the mere types and shadows of the old covenant. This is “the spirit of antichrist” at work, denying that Christ has come in the flesh and died to take away law-keeping for righteousness, having paid in full for the sins of mankind, blotting out the law for rightesouness, taking it away (Romans 10:4; Colossians 2:14-19; 1 John 4:1-3). “It is finished.” (John 19:30) Read Galatians.
