"Unhitching" Jesus?: Did Andy Stanley's Easter 2020 Message "Unhitch" Jesus From Scripture?

Andy Stanley's Easter 2020 message said we don't know about the resurrection because of the Bible. What if he is creating unnecessary and unhelpful distinctions that weaken the foundation of our faith instead of strengthening it?

Andy Stanley may have good intentions. It’s great if he’s trying to get people to believe in the resurrection. Unfortunately his attempts may be creating unnecessary distinctions that weaken the foundation of our faith.

He says we don’t believe in the resurrection because of the bible. He is really splitting hairs on this in one aspect, and is totally undercutting scripture that points to Jesus. He can make his point without appearing to say scripture isn’t foundational.

The idol here is the attempt to be clever and relevant though unnecessary hairsplitting and creation of distinctions.

Hillsong: Have Communion with Cookie & Juice or Whatever Is Convenient

Hillsong Church invited people to take communion at home with a cookie and juice or whatever is convenient.

“23 For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. 31 But if we judged ourselves truly, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

33 So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for one another— 34 if anyone is hungry, let him eat at home—so that when you come together it will not be for judgment. About the other things I will give directions when I come.”

— 1 Corinthians 11:23-34

God Needs Your Sweet Talk Lovin’ – T.D. Jakes

God apparently needs your sweet lovin’. According to T.D. Jakes, God is a bit emotionally needy, and he may be holding back answers to prayer because you haven’t given him the amount of lovin’ he needs to hear.

On January 19, 2018 T.D. Jakes made a Facebook post promising breakthrough and answer to prayer if people simply opened their mouth and told God how much he means to them. He says God needs to hear how much he means to us.

“Good Morning

The breakthrough doesn’t come through the word, it comes through the worship! The greatest way to gain your breakthrough is through opening your mouth and telling God how much He means to you. Love has to express itself, and to the best way to show it is to worship Him in spirit and in truth ( John 4:24). Just like you would tell someone who is close to you, God needs to hear it as well. He is a passionate God. Whatever He feels, He feels passionately. He knows what you are enduring. He gave his body to His bride, all He asks in return is your worship. Worship brings relationship with God and as you draw closer to Him, He will reveal more of Himself to you.”

— T.D. Jakes

He is portraying an idolatrous image of God. God isn’t emotionally needy. He doesn’t need to hear how great he is, and God isn’t giving out goodies in exchange for some flattery.

The God of T.D. Jakes is part God and part emotionally needy lover. God doesn’t need anything. Portraying God as anything less than the self-sufficient God that he is, is to portray a false image of God.

“33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord,
or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”

36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. ”

— Romans 11:33-36 (ESV)

Shawn Bolz Moves Goal Posts in Word of Knowledge says Close is Accurate Enough

Shawn Bolz moved the goal posts in a recent word of knowledge video, as he proclaimed that being close is apparently accurate enough.

He starts out clearly calling Terra out by her age of 50. This is clearly about age to him. He finds out that Terra is 51. At that point he declares 50 as close enough, then he moves the goal posts and says the reference to 50 was about a supposed year of jubilee coming Terra’s way.

The biblical standard for a word from God is 100% accuracy. Regardless, the 100% moving of the goal posts from age to year of jubilee exposes Bolz for being a complete fraud.

“An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes?”

Holy Spirit Uses Smart Phone to Help Shawn Bolz Do Cold Readings

Pulpit Leapfrogging: Lance Wallnau’s “Revival” Rewind from Ken Hagin

Lance Wallnau wants to go back to the "good old days..."

Lance Wallnau’s 7 Mountain Mandate Underground Facebook page recently shared a video from a Kenneth Hagin revival meeting showing a lot of odd things attributed to a work of the Holy Ghost. It opens with someone leap frogging over a pulpit as the camera pans to a "Jesus is Lord" sign up front. Don't  you wonder: which "Jesus" is Lord of this place?

There is, of course, the usual “holy laughter,” slain in the spirit, and drunk in the spirit. Hagin spends most of his time in the video looking for someone to close the service. Each person ends up becoming so drunk in the spirit that they can’t close the service. This looks more like a bizarre and twisted comedy routine than a worship service. 

“ But all things should be done decently and in order. ”

— 1 Corinthians 14:40 (ESV)

“Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. ”

— 1 Peter 1:13 (ESV)

“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. ”

— 1 Peter 5:8 (ESV)

This “revival” was not done decently and in order, and people claim to be drunk instead of sober. This supposed move of the Holy Spirit does not align with inspired scripture.

This is the type of revival people like Lance Wallnau and the New Apostolic Reformation want to bring to our churches. They're demonic apostles of disorder and drunkenness. Don't fall the the schemes of these dark super apostles. Stick with scripture, you can't go wrong.

Sniffing Jesus: You Can Sniff the Body Odor of Jesus Too

You can sniff the body odor of Jesus if you have the gift of discerning of spirits says Jennifer Eivaz the Executive Pastor at Harvest Christian Center in Turlock, California. Apparently it can lead to a good laugh too. Jesus smells like laughing gas? She posted the below on Facebook.

Does this mean if I smell stale German beer and sausage some demon trying to mimic Martin Luther is after me?

This is pure nonsense and really doesn’t need further response.

Kris Vallotton Inspired by Sylvester Stallone’s Survival by Doing a Porn Movie

Kris Vallotton the Senior Associate Leader at Bethel Church in Redding, California, and cofounder of Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry said he found inspiration from Sylvester Stallone doing a porn movie to survive financially.

On 11-11-2017 Kris Vallotton shared a video from the Millionaire’s Sayings page on his own Facebook page. The video describes Sylvester Stallone’s struggles to succeed. In the video we’re told Stallone was so poor he did a porn movie to earn money. Kris Vallotton said he found this inspiring.

“I believe there’s an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.”

— Sylvester Stallone

“The heart is more deceitful than all else, and is desperately sick; Who can understand it?”

— Jeremiah 17:9

This is what happens when we esteem success over Christ: We end up finding inspiration in someone selling their body for sex. It shouldn’t surprise us that someone would esteem success over Jesus. Isaiah told us this would happen.

“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief
and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.”

— Isaiah 53:3

God Speaks Through AC/DC’s Money Talks? – The Pointe Church Fort Wayne, Indiana

When you’re at an official Sunday morning worship service can you expect God to speak to you in a real way through AC/DC’s song Money Talks? The Pointe Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana prayed to God, asking God to speak to people in a real way (whatever that's supposed to mean). Immediately after the prayer they played Money Talks by AC/DC.

The entire service can be viewed here, (but perhaps you've seen enough already?)

Visual Proof That Modern Churches are (Much) Better

Kat Kerr Moves Goalposts not Hurricanes

Kat Kerr would like you to believe she can move hurricanes, but really all she can move are her own delusional prophetic goal posts. 

In a previous video she tried to convince us she could make the hurricane go off into the ocean. Then she must have observed Irma's change in direction on her smartphone weather app. Instead of going off into the Atlantic, Irma took a turn west.

To save face Kerr uploaded a new video. 

Now she says western Florida is in a drought and needs rain. She's now giving the hurricane permission to bring needed rain to western Florida, but she's not going to allow the hurricane to cause damage.

The idea that Christians can command the weather is nonsense. Yes Jesus did command a storm in Mark 4:39. Yes Jesus did say we'd do works like he did and greater in John 14:12. This does not mean we are given authority over the weather.

Jesus commanded the weather to show us that He is God, not to be an example of something we can do. This idea that we can command weather is not something the apostles taught or practiced. The apostles didn't command good weather in Acts 17 to stop a famine. Paul didn't command the weather to stop a storm in Acts 27.

Surely they would have commanded the famine to stop or the storm to cease if Jesus taught this nonsense. I doubt our modern day "apostles" have a corner on truth that inspired authors of scripture didn't have.

Tales from the Creep: "Prophet" Interviews Dead Princess Diana

"Prophet" Matthew Robert Payne says Jesus commissioned him to interview the deceased Princess Diana and bring her answers to people in his new book Princess Diana Speaks from Heaven: A Divine Revelation

“In the past few years, Matthew Robert Payne has been receiving visits from Diana in spiritual visions. To mark the twentieth anniversary of her death, Jesus Christ has commissioned him to interview her and bring her answers to people in this short book.”

— Princess Diana Speaks from Heaven: A Divine Revelation - Amazon.com

Jesus has apparently also commissioned him to interview Michael Jackson.

Scripture speaks against communicating with the dead.

“10 There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering,[a] anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer 11 or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, 12 for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you. ”

— Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (ESV)

“31 “Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God. ”

— Leviticus 19:31 (ESV)

The creepy "prophet" is clearly not hearing from Jesus. At best he's just making stuff up for some easy money. At worst demons are feeding him creative stories. Either way it's a worthless deception everyone should avoid.

Dr. Michael Brown Guest Hosting Sid Roth’s Crazy Train "It’s Supernatural"

Dr. Michael Brown is once again lending his approval to the outer-fringe of the charismatic movement. He announced on Facebook that he’ll be guest hosting on Sid Roth’s crazy train show It’s Supernatural, and will be interviewing his good friend Jonathan Cahn.

Sid Roth’s show is a crazy train going full speed ahead to Crazyville. The show’s introduction sounds like  something you’d hear on a paranormal research show. Listen to the introduction below.

The strange world of the supernatural? Is this a psychic research show, or maybe a ghost hunting show? The introduction doesn’t even sound distinctly Christian. Yet you see the camera panning right to Dr. Michael Brown as the voice over talks of the strange world of the supernatural. Why is Dr. Michael Brown giving any credibility to Sid Roth’s show?

Remember when Jeff Jansen was a guest and told about the angel who gave him a 50 carat ruby from heaven?

This isn’t a simple matter of a silly thing to laugh at. Roth and those like him direct our attention away from the simplicity of the gospel. Instead, they focus on soul destroying things like 50 carat rubies supposedly given to people by angels.

Dr. Michael Brown has a bad habit of giving his credibility to the craziness. Remember when Jennifer LeClaire came out with her Sneaky Squid Spirit, and Brown went out of his way to attempt fitting it into the realm of acceptable orthodoxy?

Michael Brown Can’t Defend “Sneaky Squid Spirit”-Repeatedly Changes the Subject

Dr. Michael Brown Ruins His Credibility on His Own Facebook Wall, Then Deletes All the Evidence

Once again he hands his credibility to the crazy by hosting the show and interviewing failed shemitah and blood moon “specialist” Jonathan Cahn. Dr. Brown at this point is addicted to injecting his perceived credibility into the crazy wing of the charismatic movement. And ALL of these false teachers are making giant piles of money off of the gullible.

Dr. Brown needs an intervention ASAP.

Here's a related video about Jonathan Cahn's false teaching:

The Hyper-Charismatic House of Cards: Let It Fall and Be Free

“Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.”

— Colossians 2: 18-19

“If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions, and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.”

— 1 Timothy 6: 3-5

“And yet some people actually imagine that the revelation in God’s Word is not enough to meet our needs. They think that God from time to time carries on an actual conversation with them, chatting with them, satisfying their doubts, testifying to His love for them, promising them support and blessings. As a result, their emotions soar; they are full of bubbling joy that is mixed with self-confidence and a high opinion of themselves. The foundation for these feelings, however, does not lie within the Bible itself, but instead rests on the sudden creations of their imaginations. These people are clearly deluded. God’s Word is for all of us and each of us; He does not need to give particular messages to particular people.”

— Jonathan Edwards

Todd White Can Sovereignly and Irresistibly Elect People to Salvation?

Todd White may have granted himself and fellow believers abilities that most in his theological camp wouldn’t even grant God. In the video below he asserts that he can claim someone’s salvation and there is no way they can get out of it.

This is really interesting and contradictory because most people in his theological camp tend to be against protestant reformation-era views concerning monergism and God’s part in election and salvation. Most in his theological camp would not grant God the power to do the very thing Todd White just claimed was within his ability.

By default Todd White may be granting himself power that he wouldn’t grant to God.

You can listen to the entire interview below.

Depraved Copeland Sets Satanic Snare for Christians

According to scripture Kenneth Copeland has a depraved mind, and sets snares for the destruction of Christians because he teaches that godliness is a means of gain.

Eagle Mountain Church posted this quote from Kenneth Copeland to their Facebook page.

“You get spiritually rich, you’ll get financially rich!”

Scripture warns us about people like Kenneth Copeland. He’s described as setting a snare for Christians that can lead to ruin and destruction. Such teaching is described as coming from a depraved mind, thinking that godliness is a means of gain. Scripture tells us godliness with contentment is great gain.

“If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, and constant friction among people who are depraved in mind and deprived of the truth, imagining that godliness is a means of gain. But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”

— 1 Timothy 6: 3-10

Copeland’s appeal to the desires of the flesh sets a snare for the soul. We must run away from these snares. Copeland and those like him erect frivolous idols in our hearts. Those teaching and following this doctrine must call upon God and ask to be granted repentance.

Kenneth Copeland is the false teacher of false teachers. If there was a "Hall of Fame" for filthy rich godless charlatans, he would get the best spot. Yet, there are many today who still consider him a true Christian minister. Take a look at this "conference of heretics" and be sure to mark and avoid every person listed:

Patricia King Can Ascend to Heaven

Patricia King claims she has the ability to ascend into the heavens, and she has apparently received study notes that she describes as almost complete dictation from the Holy Spirit on how you also can "ascend into the heavens." Perhaps she could take some videos of heaven on her next visit?

Instead of teaching people at her "glory school" she could could simply show us heaven itself! Of wait, she can't charge a fee if she doesn't have a "glory school."

According to Patricia King, the Bible isn't clear enough on our ability to ascend to heaven, so she needed some Holy Spirit dictated notes to make up for where the Bible is lacking. 

We know the Bible isn't lacking of course. We really don't need whatever Patricia King's vast imagination can conjure up. In fact when you see her lips start moving, it's probably a good idea to run away as fast and far as you can!

“My dear brothers; eventually some new teachers will bring new teachings into the Church. Among their beneficial ideas will be the practice of “ascending to heaven” on an ongoing basis. And these new teachers will sell their services in what will be called “Glory Schools.” You must follow these teachers and ignore the previous teachings of the Bible.”

$1000 to Get Hair and Nails Done: "God Made it That Way" says John Gray

A wife should be given $1000 from her husband to get her hair and nails done because God made it that way. Who would even dare assert something like that? What venue would allow such a speaker?

T.D. Jakes held MegaFest 2017 and had John Gray as a speaker. Gray is an associate pastor at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church. Osteen is author of Your Best Life Now, so it's not a stretch to believe the associate pastor under Osteen could tell all of Christendom that God wants a husband to give his wife $1000 to get her hair and nails done.

T.D. Jakes posted this video of John Gray speaking at MegaFest 2017.

What kind of world are these people living in where you just toss $1000 at your wife to get her hair and nails done? This points to the excess of their lifestyle, often at the fleecing of their own flock and followers. All done in the name of Jesus of course.

Paul wrote to the Corinthians about how he was hungry, thirsty, poorly clothed, and homeless.

“To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things. ”

— 1 Corinthians 4: 11-13

What advice would he have given to the Corinthian church?

“Greetings my dear fellow believers; some of us might be poorly dressed, hungry and homeless, but nonetheless, husbands be sure to spend a few bucket loads of denarii so your wives can get their nails and hair done. God made it that way. 

Yours truly, The Apostle Paul”

— 1 Hesitations 1: 9

Messages like these promoted by T.D. Jakes and John Gray grossly misrepresent Christianity. Instead of crucifying the flesh, they feed it mammon on steroids.

Apostle Paul was a Religious Devil with a Jezebel Spirit? - Jennifer LeClaire

Paul the apostle may have been a religious devil with a Jezebel spirit if Jennifer LeClaire is correct about prophecy. In the video below she clearly said that if you're a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ then you are authorized to prophesy.

LeClaire doesn't qualify her statement with the word some, she's making a statement to all believers. Under inspiration of the Holy Spirit Paul the apostle taught differently.

“27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. 28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30 Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? 31 But earnestly desire the higher gifts.”

— (1 Corinthians 12:27-31 ESV)

The answer to all of the above is no. All believers are not granted the same gifts.

At this point, some may try to distinguish between the office of prophet, and the ability of an individual believer to prophesy. Even if you can draw the distinction, LeClaire clearly is not making it. Look at her Facebook post below.

She accuses anyone who disagrees with her of being a religious devil or having a Jezebel spirit. What does that imply about Paul? Paul disagrees with Jennifer LeClaire on this matter.

Don't forget, Dr. Michael Brown approves of Jennifer LeClaire and fully defends her teachings!

LeClaire's Apostolic Daddy Kicked Her Praise God! – Jennifer LeClaire

Jennifer LeClaire’s apostolic daddy James Goll literally kicked Jennifer LeClaire while at the Upgrade Conference. In response she exclaimed, “Praise God!”

Below you’ll see a Facebook post from Goll describing himself as a father in the faith to Jennifer LeClaire and Ryan LeStrange, and a video from LeClaire describing the prophetic kick in the pants she received from her apostolic daddy.

LeClaire’s brief video is wilted word salad that really doesn’t mean anything at all. It has lots of fun buzzwords, that when strung together appear to mean something, but really it means nothing.

Launch into "mega transition?"  "Mega upgrade??"

Being kicked is normal? And it's actually desirable??

It’s just weird. Really weird.

Are these people even preaching the gospel, or are they on some sort of mystical jungle gym trying to climb from bar to bar?

So much of what they say and do distracts from the gospel.

People like LeClaire really should take advice like Dr. Michael Brown gave in a recent video about the doctrines of demons.

He lists anything that takes you away from the exaltation of Jesus, the centrality of the word of God, and being seduced from the simplicity of Christ, as being part of the doctrine of demons.

Using vague buzzwords like mega transition, and mega upgrades, or focusing on being literally kicked by your apostolic daddy seems like it takes away from the exaltation of Christ, centrality of the word of God, and the simplicity of Christ.

People like Jennifer LeClaire need to repent of this worthless nonsense, and people like Dr. Michael Brown who befriend, associate, and minister with them, need to help in the process of calling them out to repentance.

Prophetic Dinosaurs - Lana Vawser

Lana Vawser claims God gave her a word for the body of Christ by speaking through a dinosaur in a video game. If you want to hear a lot of meaningless drivel, check out this rambling, useless and incoherent "Christian" fortune-telling  video: 

Vawser without hesitation reminds us that God has spoken to her before through popcorn, umbrellas, and Wonder Woman.

This time she felt God put it on her heart to give a message to the body of Christ by speaking through a dinosaur she saw in a video game her son was playing. After the initial dinosaur sighting Vawser tells us she started seeing dinosaurs all over the place.

Sometimes it's hard to understand what God is saying through popcorn, umbrellas, Wonder Woman, and dinosaurs, so she gave us some helpful references to understand one's vain imaginations. Here are some of the dingbats, nutjobs and "Christian Sorcerers" she recommends:

Seems like a lot of work just to hear what a video game dinosaur is saying. Many people have been known to hear God by opening their Bible, and maybe just using a solid Bible commentary. Sadly, that's not as exciting and adventurous as hearing God speak through popcorn, umbrellas, Wonder Woman, and dinosaurs.

Choose to Serve Positive Thinking per Joshua 24:15 - Victoria Osteen

Victoria Osteen transformed Joshua 24:15 into a call to serve positive thinking. Instead of a call to turn from the Devil, sin, and self, and turn toward God, she spritzed the Bible with the Osteen doctrine of positive thinking and ends up calling people to serve the idol of positive thinking. This "Christless Christianity" has no need for a Savior who redeems us, instead, it makes our determined and deliberate decision-making into another god.

“Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

God is Fun - Say Bye Bye to Reverence and Hello Ragtime Quartet
