False Christian teachings, trends….
Is the concept of Catholic indulgences biblical? In the process of answering that question, Got Questions Ministries had to explain the following Roman Catholic dogmas: indulgences and purgatory; indulgences and penance; indulgences and the treasury of merit; indulgences and temporal punishment; and the impact of sin in our relationship with God. If you are a Roman Catholic, then please hear this biblical explanation of Catholic unbiblical ideas.
The 5-minute Got Questions Video of this post explains that the Roman Catholic concept of purgatory is not biblical. Also, there are links to Got Questions posts about related topics such as plenary indulgences. Additionally, a few verses of scripture were inserted to show that the doctrines of men are not accepted by God; that show from the Bible how 19 kings of Israel were cursed for following doctrines of men (established by Jeroboam, son of Nebat). That example speaks to such things as purgatory and the counterfeit Pentecostal revival movement that was established upon the lies of Charles Fox Parham and Agnes Ozman (clearly explained by John MacArthur in his book, Strange Fire pages 20-25); furthermore, it speaks to the SBC’s addition of CRT and LGBTQ+ dogmas to the Bible; the JW’s; the Latter Day Saints….
This post takes a brief article on Satanist Aleister Crowley’s Law of Thelema and via inserted comments in pink font, shows how prosperity preachers encourage their followers along the same lines that Crowley encouraged his. The point is to show that prosperity preaching is as evil to the God of the Bible as is worshiping Satan, each of them glorify the self and much more.
This post puts discusses responses of 4 well known preachers of the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly regarding their stance against modernism and pragmatism, or to state it differently, the encroachment of worldliness and false teaching upon the church. The purpose of this post is to prepare listeners for the next post from MLJ’s series on Great Biblical Doctrines, wherein he is providing a further look at the book of Revelation. The section he discusses dealt with God’s judgment upon unregenerate men who persecuted His church. This post looks at movements since the late 1800’s wherein men from the church (unregenerate?) were bringing in worldly METHODOLOGY that carried with it worldliness and spawned false doctrines. Movements in the church today, side B Christianity; wokeness, White privilege… derive from the corruption that occurred earlier in the church. The corruption that Spurgeon, Machen, MacArthur and Sproul stood against.
In the video of this post, Pastor Michael Grant talks about a conference scheduled by the Gospel Coalition, a questionable organization partly created by woke preacher Tim Keller, wherein David Platt and other ‘side B’ Christian pastors will be preaching. Among those preachers is Allistair Begg.
This post is related to the last post which was on the David Platt scandal. The video of this post is an interview by Allie Beth Stuckey of Relatable. She interviewed Seth Gruber. Stuckey and Gruber were discussing definitions that the political left redefined and persuaded evangelical pastors to take up and preach about. That is, those pastors became pawns of the left, and their congregants were the collateral damage. In the process of their discussion, Gruber mentioned a half-dozen names of “woke” pastors; Gruber also mentioned a useful book on this topic, Megan Basham’s, Shepherds for Sale
The article of this post is from Religious News Service, it is about Reverend Graham being cancelled, prohibited from completing certain scheduled stops on his religious tour. The Liberal religious group that collected over 20K signatures to cancel Graham calls themselves, “Faithful America.” They are a “Social Justice Ministry.” Social justice and biblical justice are two very different concepts….
This month, the Gendron’s Newsletter focus is on the various aspects of bondage from spiritual deception. Anyone who has studied the Bible, especially the New Testament epistles of Romans and Galatians, knows that the Roman Catholic gospel is NOT biblical. It therefore does not save. Those who believe that it does, or follow the RCC blindly, are in the bondage of deception; read this post to get some specifics on how that is so. ALSO, Mike’s Letters To Equip the Saints, has 4 very important letters and responses. Additionally, THIS POST CONTAINS a link to the testimony of another former Roman Catholic who discusses his conversion and what the false doctrine of the RCC has in common with 4 other false reilgions.
This issue of Mike Gendron’s Newsletter covers the following topics and more: The Falsification of Spiritual Blessings; Scripture Exposes Rome’s Deceptive Teaching; The Timing and Purpose of Water Baptism; Water Baptism Cannot Cause Spiritual Rebirth; Only God and His Word Can Cause Spiritual Life; Do Not Be Deceived About “The Chosen;” Letters to Equip and Encourage the Saints. [Gendron cites Roman Catholic practices and contrasts them with biblical truth and doctrine.]
The 7-minute video of this post opens by mentioning Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who brought transcendental (TM) meditation to the west, via the influence of the Beach Boys and the Beatles. Pastor Joe Schimmel, who created the video, then moves to the topic of church leaders who are encouraging TM: Rick Warren and Rob Bell, two of many. Then Pastor Joe S. discussed mantras: their unbiblical nature, even if these are words from the Bible. Lastly, true biblical meditation was succinctly explained…. [Even though this video is a decade old, Hindu meditation and Hindu yoga are still a problem in the church, find out how that is so]
