False Women Preachers
False preachers such as Beth Moore consider those who actually follow the Bible as hyper-fundamentalists in derogatory terms.
When the false teachers cannot disprove the Bible we speak, they will discredit us by name-calling and character assassination. This is the first sign they know they are wrong but cannot prove it by the Bible.
Joyce Meyers, Beth Moore, and Paula White, are the most prominent today. These women teach against the true gospel of Christ leading people to believe their own mind is their power among many other heresies.
If a woman is a preacher over men and very popular that is the clue they should be avoided.
1 Timothy 2:12 "12 I do not permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man; she is to remain quiet."
Violation of the scripture is no small matter, these women are focused on their own desire to be wealthy so they justify it by preaching it is God's will that we all are wealthy and we are lacking faith if we are not, another lie from the devil.
Philippians 4:11-14 "11 Not that I speak from want, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.
12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.
13 I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
Notice that these women are deeply invested in the latest clothing style and even dress like men when on stage. They tell more stories than they read from scripture and they use a lot of joking to keep their audience from thinking too deeply.
I have listened to parts of their messages to see the tenor or their preaching, it's really not preaching, they use motivational methods to encourage the people to feel good about themselves. This is the reason they draw such big crowds, the flattery keeps the congregation coming back.
Proverbs 26:24-28
"Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling. A lying tongue hates its victims, and a flattering mouth works ruin."
Proverbs 29:5
"A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet."
Psalm 5:9
"For there is no truth in their mouth; their inmost self is destruction; their throat is an open grave; they flatter with their tongue."
These lying heretics do not love those to whom they preach, they only love their own popularity and wealth.
True preachers of the word obey the Bible and tell the truth because of their deep love for those to whom they minister.
There is no love in a false preacher, even their good deeds are to glorify self. A true preacher of the word has no concern for himself, his desire is to hide behind Jesus Christ so that only Christ can be seen.

Christ was Good to All!
No matter how nice Jesus Christ was to Judas it did not change Judas's heart, he still betrayed Christ.
Also, Christ did many miracles while on earth, He did nothing but good to everyone all the time and yet they killed Him because they hated Him.
His kind deeds meant nothing to them, they even accused Him of evil for the good deeds.
When evil people hate us it has nothing to do with whether or not we treat them well, it has to do with their own evil heart that hates God.
Matthew 10:22-23 "22 You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.…"
Times have not changed, people are the same today as they were in the time of Christ.

Stories Teach and Influence
Our country is blatantly becoming what it has been working toward for 160 years, ever since evolution began to be taught in public schools and the parents didn't remove the children then. Evolution began being taught in the schools in 1861.
I was taught evolution in school and I am 68 years old, this tells you how long our country has been moving toward godlessness.
From then on everything else that was wicked was subtly introduced and the parents did not fight it. We did not just all of a sudden go bad in the last few years, we have been moving toward godlessness since that time when evolution began to be taught. Our nation has always been godless for the most part with slavery, prohibition when people hid in speak-easies to have their booze as well as the roaring twenties when jazz was introduced. Many more people attended churches but the majority of the people were ungodly.
For those who think our childhood was so wholesome, it was not, it was only our perception. I once had this perception until God opened my eyes to family life back in that day.
The television shows began to introduce into the culture psychology in those "wholesome shows" such as "Ozzie and Harriet." Yes, the father worked outside the home and the mother remained in the home but notice the psychology and the rock music that was being shown as good and normal.
The first television was sold in 1946 after world war two. This is when the war was over, the people needed a sense of community when their soldiers returned, the culture was ripe for entertainment after a decade of fear and war. This is when the devil introduced things to the public through the television in nearly every home.
Our country has been progressing toward godlessness ever since the onset of the television and movies.
That so-called wholesome show "Ozzie and Harriet" appeared to be sweet and happy but introduced psychology and rock music to the public.
I recall "Gunsmoke" a show in the '50s in which the sheriff of a town was the hero and his girlfriend was a madam in the saloon. Our family watched this show every Saturday night. Sunday we attended church.
Every show that I could name that is seen as innocent back in the '40s and '50s has subtle elements of godlessness. It was so subtle that the families ignored it, just as they ignore the filth today. Most people tend to ignore language and ideas they don't wish to see, as if they ignore it, it must be that it didn't happen. Everyone was heavily influenced by these shows without realizing it.
Sadly most Christians could not watch these shows without it shaping their lives in some way. A steady diet of ungodly thinking leads to dilution and delusion of our morals. Today I hear Christians using words that God told us not to express, by this I know what kind of shows they are watching.
Psalm 101:3 "I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me."
1 Corinthians 15:33 "33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 34 Sober up as you ought, and stop sinning; for some of you are ignorant of God. I say this to your shame.…"
If you cannot watch a show on television without becoming like those actors on that screen then you have an idol and will be corrupted. If you ignore the filthy language and keep watching that is an endorsement of that language. Even worse, if you watch these shows, continue watching even begin using that language then you are being influenced by the devil to diminish your Christian witness.
And, now the television is promoting evil ideas, rebellion and lies through the newscasts. There is very little that we can believe that comes from the news. Everything is skewed to present what they want us to believe, sadly it is working for many people.
Since most people do not think very deeply and are enamored with gossip and famous people, we can see how it is deeply changing our world. If a famous person speaks, the general public believes it must be true because he/she is famous.
This same thinking is in the Christian church too, if someone is a famous preacher they must be speaking the truth in the eyes of many.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
"21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;"
Very few people, even very few Christians bother to examine everything, they simply accept whatever is popular. This keeps them in a state of childlike trust in wrong thinking.
If you want to grow in holiness then you will evaluate every single thing you see on television, movies or the news, soon you will lose interest in most of it because the light of God's word will shine on it revealing the truth.
