The abundance of false teachers is becoming so much more apparent, I don't know if it's the Holy Spirit showing me the wolves in my path, and He did this VERY clearly recently. I thank Him that I was able to see through the charlatan & I left that Church the very next week!
This video was powerful! James 3:1 says "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." Until recently I meditated on this verse and wondered exactly what the "stricter judgment" referred to. I believe these false teachers lead many who are lost to reject the Gospel, they are greedy money grabbers who live in luxury, preach prosperity theology and Old Testament tithing..........thereby effectively leading the lost right to hell - and for that they will be severely judged by God.
Many of the false teachers and the heresies mentioned in the video below are often exposed on the site www.pulpit-pimps.org. Check it out, bookmark and and read it often. It will sharpen your skills at spotting a wolf in sheep's clothing.
ALL we have belongs to God. Giving is important, but as 2 Corinthians 9:7 teaches, it needs to be given with the right heart attitude "Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." However, we must be good stewards and not give to greedy and false teachers. That is not . You will find many of the ones mentioned in the video below living in luxury, check out Televangelists' Lifestyles.
One of my biggest problems with religion today. I cling to something a minister once said. Faith is your relationship with God. Religion is what gets in the way.
ReplyDeleteI try to question Religion and find truth. Makes finding a church to attend difficult at times.
I completely agree and understand. It's hard to find a Church which teaches Truth and not watered down religion. I only link to Truth teaching Pastors here on the side, under Read / Study Links.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what's worse, WoF, or Dominionism (IHOP, Bickle, Morning Star, Todd Bently). there's sure some garbage spewing forth from fake "christians" only interested in your wallet. the only people who get prosperous from WoF is the preachers.
ReplyDeleteAny false teaching is as bad as another. AND it's how a discerning Christian separates the sheep from the wolves.
ReplyDelete1 John 4:1-3
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.
