PCA and Revoice Pastor Says Gay ‘Christian’ Couples Romantically Loving and Snuggling Together Isn’t Sinful

“Johnson is telling us that it isn’t sinful for gay Christian couples to live together, love each other romantically, and snuggle together so long as they aren’t having sex.”

(The Dissenter) Greg Johnson, the pastor of Memorial Presbyterian Church in St. Louis has been a vocal proponent of the “gay Christianity” movement known as Revoice. Johnson, a homosexual himself, has been instrumental in perpetuating the “gay Christianity” movement within Evangelical churches, particularly within the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).

Hillsong’s Brian Houston Slams Church Board For His Resignation, Denies Any Wrongdoing; “They Poured Ultimate Shame And Humiliation On Me”

“Houston denies resigning because of any mistakes he made but rather because after the Board threw him under the bus with their accusations, it poisoned the well too much to recover.”

(Protestia) Disgraced Hillsong Church’s former Global Senior Pastor has come out swinging at his former church Board in a Facebook video posted today, blaming them for his resignation and insisting he did nothing wrong. Continue reading

House Republicans release 1,000-page report alleging politicization in the FBI, DOJ

(Chris Pandolfo – Fox News) House Republicans released a new report on Friday detailing whistleblower allegations of FBI misconduct and politicization at the highest levels of the Department of Justice.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation, under the stewardship of Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, is broken,” the GOP report states. “The problem lies not with the majority of front-line agents who serve our country, but with the FBI’s politicized bureaucracy.” Continue reading

Exclusive: Migrants Are Given ‘Literal Roadmaps’ To Reach The US Border. And Big Tech Is Funding It

“The fact that an international medical NGO with billions in the bank is making literal roadmaps to guide migrants from Central America to our southern border is not only an affront to its core mission, but a globalist attack on our sovereignty.” 

(Jennie Taer – Daily Caller) Doctors Without Borders, a medical aid nonprofit which is funded by a number of prominent tech companies, is publishing and distributing maps to migrants showing routes through Central America that reach the U.S., according to a copy of the map seen by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Continue reading

Washington Post column calls for Biden, Harris to drop out of 2024 race: ‘Unfitness has been demonstrated’

(David Rutz – Fox News) Washington Post columnist George Will called on both President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to not seek the White House in 2024 in a scathing piece Wednesday, calling them unfit for office.

Will, a conservative known for his staunch opposition to Donald Trump, was unsparing, writing that Biden is not just past his prime, but “even adequacy is in his past.” Of Harris, he wrote her “style betrays a self-satisfied exaggeration of her aptitudes. Lacking natural talent, she needs to prepare, but evidently doesn’t.” Will voted for Biden in 2020, the first time he had ever supported a Democrat, but he wants a new candidate. Continue reading

China’s President Xi Personally Oversaw Biden’s CEFC Deal

“CEFC was China’s largest energy company. It served as the so-called private sector arm of Xi’s One Belt One Road Initiative. It’s part of Xi’s effort to control the world through economics. Hunter, Joe, and Joe’s brother Jim were to become frontmen for the Belt and Road Initiative.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Garrett Ziegler is a former Trump staffer with a small non-profit research firm, Marco Polo USA dot org. He and his team spent 13 months investigating Hunter Biden’s laptop, concluding with a 630-page report. It has over 2,000 citations and 459 crimes committed by the Biden family and their business associates. Continue reading

Andy Stanley Says There’s No ‘Clear Divine Standard’ of God Revealed to Mankind

“The fact that Jesus didn’t believe that good people go to heaven, that doesn’t necessarily make it true. That’s just what He taught. And that’s what he said, and clearly, it’s what he believed.”

(Protestia) North Point Community Church ‘impastor’ Andy Stanley continued his wretched job of unhitching the church from all the scriptures by offering a curious take on the perspicuity of scripture, claiming there’s no “universally defined standard” and there’s no “clear divine standard” that’s been revealed to mankind of what ‘good is.’ Continue reading

Big Brother Moves to De-certify McCullogh, One of the Few Doctors With the Courage to Speak Out About COVID

“The writing is on the wall: Fall in line or lose your livelihood. This is no surprise. Biden called for the unvaccinated to be fired. New York City’s former bolshie mayor Bill De Blasio wouldn’t allow the unvaccinated to buy a donut in a diner.”

(Kevin Downey JR. – PJ Media) Big Brother hates being proven wrong and will punish those who are right. Welcome to the Dystopian States of America.

Dr. McCullough has been loud and proud when it comes to calling out the B.S. surrounding the dangers of the Bat Stew Flu and the efficacy of what some are still calling COVID-19 “vaccines.” Continue reading

Bethel Pastor Says Jesus Frequently Ripped Verses Out of Context and Made Them Say What They Didn’t Mean

“The way Vallotton ascribes such wickedness to Christ in order to justify his own blaspheming misuse of Scripture is appalling, to say the least. But what’s worse is that so many have given Bethel Church and these idolaters a pass.”

(The Dissenter) Bethel School of Prophets is run by Bethel Church in Redding California under the leadership of its two named “Apostles,” Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton. Bethel, like all cults, is filled with aberrant, unbiblical teachings and doctrines of demons, including false manifestations of the Holy Spirit, grave sucking, and the Prosperity Gospel.

Neopagans, Satanists, Witches, and New Agers

The rise in the occult as a religion has infused leftist ideology, and it’s growing at the expense of Christianity.

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) As children, we were told that witches weren’t real; they were merely the villains in many a fairytale and easily defeated by the good, kind, and true heroes of the stories. As we grew, we learned there were in fact people out there who claimed to be witches, but they weren’t all that bad. Now, as adults, we see the plethora of occult paraphernalia that has flooded the marketplace of ideas and commerce. Neopaganism and New Age are trying to supplant Christianity in America.

YouTube Apologist, Mike Winger, Says He Would Absolutely Fellowship With False Churches Like Bethel

“Bethel Redding, like all cults, is filled with aberrant, unbiblical teachings and doctrines of demons, including false manifestations of the Holy Spirit, grave sucking, and the Prosperity Gospel.”

(The Dissenter) Mike Winger, a pastor and a popular Christian apologist has been the subject of controversy in recent days after seemingly defending Revoice, the “gay Christianity” movement, and stating that he is open to female pastors and teachers. Continue reading

There Will Be No ‘Pandemic Amnesty’

(Dana Loesch) A “pandemic amnesty?”

No.

“The people who got it right, for whatever reason, may want to gloat. Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts. All of this gloating and defensiveness continues to gobble up a lot of social energy and to drive the culture wars, especially on the internet. These discussions are heated, unpleasant and, ultimately, unproductive. In the face of so much uncertainty, getting something right had a hefty element of luck. And, similarly, getting something wrong wasn’t a moral failing. Treating pandemic choices as a scorecard on which some people racked up more points than others is preventing us from moving forward. We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty. We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation while forgiving the hard calls that people had no choice but to make with imperfect knowledge.”

“May want to gloat?” “Defensiveness?” A friend of mine nearly asphyxiated during labor and delivery because she had to wear a worthless mask over her face while pushing out her baby. Another friend was forced to watch her parent die alone behind a glass partition because COVID restrictions prevented her from being by their side…. Continue reading

Every Day is Halloween Now

Drag queen “Annie Christ”

“The monsters are real. And sometimes they’re obvious. Other times they’re authority figures discussing how to sexually mutilate children. Nobody is a monster in their own story. And even those dressing up as monsters, don’t believe that they are. But monsters are defined not by what they believe they are or what someone else believes what they are…. “

(Daniel Greenfield – Front Page Mag) A zombie is shambling down the street, one leg dragging, arm waving at the sky before collapsing on a discarded cardboard refrigerator box. A thin trail of blood can be seen on the back of his dirty shirt.

It’s not Halloween yet. It’s just Thursday. Continue reading

Andy Wood Dares SBC To Disfellowship Saddleback Over Female Pastors

“Andy Wood is brazenly begging Baptists to try and stop him knowing full well the reticence of the SBC to part with one of its most famous and influential churches.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Rick Warren’s ego is so great, he needed two hireling pastors to replace him. This came in the form of a husband wife combo, Andy and Stacie Wood. At the last two Annual Southern Baptist Conventions, Saddleback Church became a battleground for its ordination of female pastors, which Rick Warren was given free reign to bloviate about on the floor…. Continue reading

Red Wave Rising

“Musk is yet another example of prominent liberals like Joe Rogan, Tulsi Gabbard, Bill Maher and even Jon Stewart who are realizing just how insane the left has become.”

(Gary Bauer – The Patriot Post) All signs continue to suggest there is a growing Republican wave sweeping across the nation. For example:

    • JD Vance is up five points in the Ohio Senate race.
    • Kari Lake, a rising conservative star, is up 11 points in the race for governor of Arizona. If she wins, she will immediately become a prominent leader in conservative, populist politics.
    • The Arizona Senate race is now a “Toss-up” contest.
    • Chuck Schumer admits that Democrats are “going downhill” in Georgia.

Diesel Fuel Shortage Will Hit Right After the Election

“These low distillate inventories are why diesel prices are above $5.00 a gallon nationwide, even though the nationwide average price for gasoline has dropped below $4.00 a gallon.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) As of Friday, October 14, the U.S. had 25.4 days of diesel supply left in storage. That was according to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA). That means the shortage will hit immediately after the election. We have already seen some rationing in the northeast. Continue reading

What is the Doctrine of Original Sin and Why is it Important?

“Both Roman Catholics and Protestants historically hold to the doctrine of original sin. One of the first major historic figures to oppose this doctrine was Pelagius, a fifth-century heretic who taught that man is essentially good and that through their free moral agency, man chooses to rebel against God.” 

(The Dissenter) There is a growing movement within Evangelical churches to reject the doctrine of original sin. The doctrine of original sin teaches that through Adam, all people are born with an inherent nature inclined toward sin and are in need of the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit to remove the sin nature and replace it with a new nature inclined toward God…. Continue reading

‘Save Our Democracy’ is the new ‘Russia Collusion.’

A large swath of the left has become so reliant on infantile fearmongering, that they seem incapable of debating any issues or dealing with the reality of an opposition party. When they’re not slandering political opponents as (semi-) fascists or racists or misogynists or homophobes or transphobes or death cultists, they’re engaging in cloistered pseudointellectual debate-club discussions on “saving democracy.”

(David Harsanyi – The Federalist) At this point, it would save everyone time if Democrats could simply point to a policy agenda item that isn’t going to save democracy — if such a thing exists.

If Republicans vote, they are killing democracy. If they don’t vote, they are killing democracy…. Continue reading

The Gender-Obsessed Left Will Have to Pry My Children From My Cold, Dead Hands

(Tyler O’Neil – Daily Signal) As a father, it is my responsibility to watch out for my children and to protect them from demonic lies and from medical interventions that would leave them scarred, stunted, and infertile.

Yet a growing chorus of activists and legislators seem intent on taking children away from parents like me, not because we would harm our children but because we would protect them from harm. Continue reading

Biden is a ‘do-nothing’ president with no managerial capability

“The most vital shortages are in food and energy. It’s hard to convince Americans that their number one issue should be the 20-year impact of Climate Change when the shelves at the local grocery are emptying or the cost of gasoline to fill up the car is half a day’s wages.”

(David Reavill’) November of 1948 was the almost perfect analogy to today. Like today, the country was slipping into Recession. President Harry Truman was running in an uphill reelection battle. His opponent, Thomas Dewey, was the odds-on favorite to win the Presidency. Continue reading
