“The real tragedy isn’t that Coates is just wrong—it’s that he’s confidently, proudly, and unforgivably wrong, leading these people down a path of spiritual ruin.”
(The Dissenter) Delman Coates, the senior pastor of Mt. Ennon Baptist Church, recently delivered a sermon that could only be described as theological arson. Coates didn’t just bend the truth—he violently assaulted it, dragged it into a dark alley, and left it bleeding. He essentially raped the text of Scripture to accommodate his progressive ideology.
Imagine sitting in a church, expecting to hear the Word of God faithfully proclaimed, only to be blindsided by a brazen wrecking ball to biblical morality. Coates, with the smooth assurance of a con man, declared: “Teaching Christians that sex before or outside of marriage is a sin may be tradition…but it is not something supported by the word of God.”
Just let that sink in for a second. According to Coates, every preacher, every theologian, every saint throughout Christian history—just misguided sheep, peddling baseless moralism.
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18
