20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 Therefore what benefit were you then having from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit, leading to sanctification, and the end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gracious gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:20-23 (LSB)
If you have ever listened to or read the teachings of any of the emergents or “liberal christians” or perhaps someone like Rob Bell then you probably have noticed the similarities in their reasonings for how they arrived at their theology of unbelief. Most of them are confessed refugees from some form of pietistic or American Evangelicalism that leaned heavily towards semi-pelagianism and legalism…. Continue reading

“A doctrine of demons does not always deny Jesus openly. Sometimes it adds to Jesus. It adds new revelations, new warfare methods, new apostolic systems, new decrees, new heavenly strategies, and new spiritual technologies. But anything that adds to the sufficiency of Christ and goes beyond Scripture becomes dangerous.”

“So the question is not whether you have idols. You have many. The question is which one you would sell the others to keep.”
“You’ve got Gavin Ortlund stepping up to explain, with that gentle and lowly familiar Ortlund tone, that inerrancy isn’t really a first-rank doctrine. Let’s slow down. Let’s be careful. Let’s not throw around labels. Let’s make room for “legitimate Christians” who think the Bible has errors. He even reaches back to Machen, of all people, as if to baptize the whole move in fundamentalist credibility.”
“A letter sent by the Archbishop of New York, Ronald Hicks, notes that the matter has been a painful process, but they hope that all parties accept. If so, they would each received around $215,000.”
“Whitlock has received much hate from other Conservatives for this, but Isaiah 3:12 calls female rulers a curse from God. Paul makes ontological arguments against female ordination in the Church, which rooting his reasoning in Creation, naturally extends the application beyond the Church setting since ontology is not limited to the Church.”
“Remember, the Left believes charity does not count if it doesn’t come from the government.”
FLASHBACK FROM 2023
“A statement from Immanuel Church about Sam Allberry reveals they knew he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with another man in 2022 but didn’t believe it rose to the level of being disqualifying, and still decided to bring him on as pastor. They later discovered new information about this relationship that was previously undisclosed, and then terminated his employment.”
“The Newsboys were effectively sidelined across much of the Christian music ecosystem. Relationships deteriorated. Opportunities disappeared. The lawsuit argues that the reporting did not simply describe events but helped trigger a cascade of decisions that removed TCA and the Newsboys from the marketplace.”
“Influential evangelical within the Religious Right James Robison says Jesus is in the heart of devout Mormon Glenn Beck. Leading SBC spokesman Richard Land says that he hears Beck clearly preach the Gospel on TV. Well, here’s the heart of the matter, if Glenn Beck’s ever to be considered a Christian, then let him publicly repent of and repudiate the Mormon theology in this heavily documented article you can examine for yourself.” – Ken Silva, 2012
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) The friendly fire theory just got buried — on video.
“Progressive Christians love to take the “love chapter” of 1 Corinthians out of context to justify everything from homosexuality to, in this case, satanists getting married at a church. It’s too bad she didn’t share the truth about Christianity with this couple; that would’ve been truth to rejoice in.”
“One of the most serious concerns with Alpha is its intentional ecumenical approach. The course is designed to unite participants across denominational lines, often by minimizing doctrinal distinctions. While biblical unity among true believers is important, that unity must never come at the expense of essential doctrine—especially the Gospel itself.” –Berean Research
“In conception, the child has the nature, the DNA, of its parents. So too, when one is born of the Holy Spirit, he or she has the nature, the DNA, of God. It cannot be otherwise. And God’s DNA produces the fruit of the Holy Spirit, i.e., the character of God. And that corresponds with the death of self. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it cannot bear fruit …” That’s DNA talk. That’s “parenthood of God” talk.”
“But it’s not just a phantom First Amendment privilege that Kimmel is asserting. He’s also arguing that it’s the audience’s fault for misunderstanding his hilarious “joke” about Mrs. Trump….Kimmel is wrong: The First Amendment doesn’t entitle Americans “to say whatever” we want. Nor does it protect us from the consequences of our speech.”
