A Warning to Believers

Warning!!!

There are prominent apostate preachers who are teaching humanistic damnable heresies leading people to believe they should accept all forms of doctrine for the sake of unity.

When someone teaches unity for unity sake alone, they are preaching against God.

We also know people who are preaching a false form of faith, calling people to place their faith in themselves, faith in the faith, rather than faith in the Person of Jesus Christ.

These preachers are validating imagination above Christ and His Word. They are "idolizing" their own idle imaginings while mocking those who uphold Christ's teachings as the only source of truth.

The false preachers are attempting to join all pagan religions as well as those who claim to be evangelical. Their goal is to deeply water down the gospel and God's principles.

Colossians 2:18 "18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a man is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind, "

2 Corinthians 10"5 "5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"

1 John 4:1-6 "1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for 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, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error."

False prophets always have one thing in common, they indulge in belief in their dreams and imaginations. They place more emphasis on false miracles than on the Scriptures and the leading of the Holy Spirit to guide them. They twist scripture to make it same the opposite of what God actually means.

One of these false preachers is Beth Moore, she mocks demeans and call names to intimidate truth tellers to feel foolish for their commitment to Bible principles.

She has called the truth tellers bullies and scoffers to manipulate people into believing that a truth teller is nothing more than a trouble maker. She is not the only one, there are many more, they all use the same tactics.

One of the devil's favored tactics is to accuse the truth teller of the things the devil is doing but the truth teller is not. Manipulation and intimidation works on those who are weak in their spirit. Those who depend on validation by men are easily frightened by challenges. The loss of someone's respect is overwhelming to those who love the praise of men more than the praise of God.

In the past few years I have had people ask me about Beth Moore, wanting to know what I think of her. Sadly they were not asking to find out what I know about her, but rather hoping that I would jump on their band wagon of excitement about her. When I didn't do that, but instead exposed her, they became angry and enraged, calling me many things to make me feel hurt that they were rejecting me. I wasn't hurt, only disgusted.

When this happens we know that these people have already decided what they want, while refusing to listen to evidence and reason pertaining to the one they have chosen to follow. Rather than going to prayer to see if what I say is true, they attempted to intimidate me into silence.

These false teachers all use the same techniques, joking to encourage laughter and mocking, name calling for those who disagree, demeaning language to invalidate anyone who would come against their heresy and intimidation.

These false teachers place more weight on their experiences than on Scripture. They have a perverted and devilish definition of love, opposite of God's. Using the word love often they accuse truth tellers of lacking it, when those who love Christ have the best kind of love. The kind that helps someone see their need for Christ, a salvation kind of love that snatches people from the fires of hell.

Psychology has managed to hoodwink an entire generation of people into think it is love to allow evil to take over without challenge. When this is the case, there is neither love for the evil man nor for their victims. This kind of love is based on emotion not truth.

The greatest love is that which warns those who are evil, to repent that they might escape hell, while showing compassion to their victims.

Our culture has absurdly embraced the evil man while inflicting more pain on the victim by pressure to forgive the very people who are, not only not sorry, but continue in their evil, mocking the victim, demanding forgiveness when they refuse to repent.

Christ showed perfect love, he forgave the repentant, rebuked the wicked, even mocking them when their hearts were hard. Rejection of the sinful man showed them their need to repent and become born again. It is not love to foster a sense of acceptance and forgiveness while someone remains in their sin that will lead them to hell.

Isaiah 26:10 " 10 Though the wicked is shown favor, He does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, And does not perceive the majesty of the LORD. "

Do we believe God when He said a wicked man does not repent because we show mercy when he is not repentant. People are predictable, the less we confront them about their sin the more they feel empowered to continue in it.

Psychology teaches the opposite, it takes the focus off of the need for repentance to be cleansed and placed it on the believer to worry about being seen as a friendly person by seeming like the nice guy, so they won't become bitter. This has been used as an accusation against the believer who believes in the Biblical accountability.

God tells us to forgive....when a person is repentant, we are not commanded to forgive when there is no repentance. This form of forgiveness merely empowers the sinner to keep on sinning. Our culture is the evidence of what I am saying. We have been "just forgiving" everyone without accountability or repentance and our culture is far worse off than it was 70 years ago when people understood better the principle of Biblical accountability.

As believers we should not base our theology on psychology, we base it on what Christ told us to do. "IF they repent, forgive them." Bitterness only happens when someone is repentant and we refuse to forgive.

Is Christ bitter because the world as a whole is not forgiven because they have rejected Him? NO, He is a God of justice and so should we be people of justice.

It is not just to forgive an unrepentant murderer while beating up on the believer to forgive. We ought to be pressuring the perpetrator to repent while comforting the victim, that would be God's way.

Jeremiah 51:36 "36 Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am going to plead your case And exact full vengeance for you; And I will dry up her sea And make her fountain dry."

Proverbs 21:15 "When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers."

Really? Look what God said; "justice is terror to evildoers."

We have Christ living in us, it is our duty to operate as He operates. Not pridefully thinking we must forgive for our own sense of false humility. We have forgiveness in our hearts, ready to do so when the repentant individual wants to be forgiven.

We do no vengeance, we even serve an enemy when confronted with them, but we do not bring them back in full fellowship with us until there is genuine brokenness over their sin.

Ephesians 5:11 "11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them."
