False Christian teachings, trends….
This post examines two paragraphs from the Baha’i Book of Certitude that are about Moses. Scripture is used to show that Shoghi Effendi’s purpose was achieved by grossly twisting scripture. Or I should say that the Moses he presented in his writing is not the Moses found in the Bible. I pasted in scriptures about Moses so that they might be contrasted with his statements. You will find that there is no resemblance.
This post has a 10-minute video of false teacher Glenda Green. I transcribed the initial 6 minutes of the video and commented on it from a biblical perspective. I’ve been a student of the Bible for 20 years and spent about that much time in false religions… before God revealed Himself to me, giving spiritual rebirth.
This post contains an article by Religion News Service about the Burning Man Festival. I numbered certain paragraphs of the article and critiqued those; the critique is below the article. If you’re a spiritual seeker who does not read scripture, then you would benefit from reading this post.

This post contains an article from Religious News Service on Christian Nationalism. I posted it with the purpose of critiquing it to show that it is not directed at biblical Christians, but at those professed Christians who mostly believe in the social gospel, propounded by people like Rick Warren and others. The social gospel has been around since the late 1800’s; if a professed Christian has not read through the Bible, then he / she likely does not know the difference. Also, I also wanted to show that the article upholds the Marxist democrat left’s values; it is therefore, not Christian. Why so? Marxism and Christianity oppose each other.
Some false teachings seem to produce genuine healings, such as Christian Science, new age, reiki, shamanism, NAR, and hyper-charismatic word of faith teachers and false apostles and prophets. Justin Peters, who has endured cerebral palsy his entire life and wrote his Masters Thesis on this topic, explains these are often psychosomatic temporary healings, or spiritual warfare demons causing symptoms in order to lead people to false teachers. God still does healing miracles today, of course; however, it’s always according to his will. [From Doreen’s site]
Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato and P!nk have come out with different songs denigrating – even mocking – those who believe the Bible concerning many of the most vital issues of conscience. We take a look at the esoteric leanings and ultimately the source for the modern feminist movement by the teachings of Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey and other theosophical practitioners who have pushed what can be described only as The Divine Feminine.

Pastor John Piper explains Oprah’s errors in her beliefs about the meaning of Psalm 37:4 – Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. In the process, he explains the biblical meaning of that verse and clarifies Oprah’s errors, agenda, motives…. Oprah’s view is also held by those in favor of ecumenism, the two biggest names in that arena are the Pope and Rick Warren; but many think that unity before doctrine is the right way.
In the video of this post, Ken Ham, of Answers in Genesis, specifically explains why many Christian youth turn away from the church. I posted a 4-minute excerpt of this message recently, but as I listened to the message again this morning, I realized that Ham does a thorough job of articulating the Christian worldview in the process of informing his audience on the topic of youth leaving the church. This video clearly explains how it is that church leaders and parents have failed their children. His message not only informs hearers, but provides them with specifics required for turning this situation around and encouragement to find strength in Christ and His word
