“Paul was pretty harsh with those who went around teaching false doctrine—even at one point stating he wished that the false teachers would castrate themselves. That’s how much he hated false doctrine and those who perpetrated it. Why should we treat those with false doctrine any differently than Jesus, Paul, or the Apostles? “
(The Dissenter) Tim Keller sounds like he should join the Unitarian Universalist congregation or something…. Continue reading
“I offer real-world examples of decent people whose lives have been turned upside down by emotional and spiritual pain, financial destitution, unending litigation, and genuine fear for their physical safety and lives, all because they take seriously the Constitution’s guarantees of their right to think and speak their minds as Americans.”
(Mark Tapscott – PJ Media) June was declared “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Pride Month” in a White House proclamation made notable by accusing the majority of Americans of mounting “relentless attacks” on “members of the LGBTQI+ community — especially people of color and trans people.” Continue reading
(Barry Bowen – Trinity Foundation) After reviewing recently published Form 990s, Trinity Foundation has reported two of three non-profit organizations affiliated with Bill Johnson’s California megachurch Bethel Redding for possible Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan fraud.
Trinity Foundation reported Bethel Media and Bethel School of Technology, but not Bethel Music, to the Small Business Administration. Let’s take a look at their loans and Form 990s. Continue reading
What is the vision of the prophets? It is “the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints.” The vision is Jesus.
(Jared C. Wilson – For the Church) Proverbs 29:18 may be one of the most misapplied verses in all the evangelical church today. Many a church leader has used it to spiritualize his strategies and blackmail followers into supporting his entrepreneurialism. Vision statements are cast…. Continue reading
“The same medical establishment that denied the existence of effective treatments for COVID in their push for vaccines, now works against those injured by them. But there is hope.”
(Debra Heine – American Greatness) Fox News anchor John Roberts recently asked on Twitter: “Question: anyone out there having chest pain after getting the booster?”
Over 4,600 replies later, it would appear that many of his Twitter followers have indeed suffered chest pain, along with many other adverse events after getting injected with the mRNA or Adenoviral Vector DNA genetic products. Continue reading
(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) Evangelical leaders sat by wordless while narcissistic self-serving false teachers covertly, and in some cases overtly, infiltrated the visible Church. What can only be described as laboratory experiments on evangelicals has been carried out by purveyors of poisonous teaching. For decades, many in the evangelical community, like caged lab rats, have been jabbed full of every theological toxin imaginable. It is almost impossible to keep up with all the toxic teaching that’s spreading throughout the Church. What’s even more difficult is to ferret out the men and women who are spreading half-truths and outright lies.
Even so, some of us involved in online discernment actually do try to uncover the dung that’s being fed to undiscerning sheep. On my wolf hunting expeditions, I often sniff them out on YouTube (YT) where a gazillion wolves host their own channels. To be fair, there are also many excellent Christian teachers, godly men and women, whose sole aim is to bring biblical truth to their viewers.
Something else you should know about YT is that you’re bound to come across a LARGE and ever-growing number of online “Watchmen.” (Who are these people? Scroll to the end and you’ll see some of them on “Watchmen Greatest Hits”) The Watchmen are men and women who propound their own personal view of eschatology. Their focus is mainly on the Rapture of the Church that they claim is “imminent.” So, day in and day out (some for several years now) these crystal ball gazers lean into a desktop computer camera speculating about the return of Christ for His church, i.e. the rapture, that will be soon—very soon—could be any day now—might even be before Thanksgiving 2020—oops! Maybe Christmas—nope. To the Watchmen’s shame, as 2020 came and went, their faithful followers hadn’t been “caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” Alas, here we are mid-2022 and the Watchmen followers remain Earth bound, most likely feeling a bit bewitched, bothered, bewildered and totally discombobulated.
Woe to the Watchmen. Continue reading
(Fox News) In a sweeping victory for Johnny Depp, the seven-member panel found in the actor’s favor on all counts and awarded him $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages.
In a token win for Amber Heard, the jury found that a single statement in her countersuit was defamatory and awarded her $2 million in compensatory damages and nothing in punitive damages. Continue reading
“There is no way to speak coherently with one another absent objective meaning, let alone to reach consensus. Suggesting that the world at large owes each of us validation for our innermost desires is a recipe for complete chaos.”
(Ben Shapiro – PJ Media) June marks LGBTQI+ Pride Month — a month honoring those who are “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and intersex.” This ever-expanding rubric revolves around a particular value system entirely embraced by the modern Left: the notion that a person’s core identity ought to lie not in the relationship between individual desires and societal duties, but instead ought to revolve around a subjective sense of self, unverifiable by the world at large and justified against all societal roles and rules. Continue reading
“The future is being built by us,” Schwab asserted as he introduced this year’s event. During his speech, he pushed for stakeholder capitalism which is a feudalistic form of communism. It’s not capitalism at all. That is unless you consider the elite owning everything and you owning only what they let you have, as capitalism.
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), is a former member of the UN Advisory Board on Sustainable Development. He is also the leader of “The Great Reset”, and sees himself as the dictator of the new world order. Continue reading

Our “fear of liberalism” actually stems from our fear of the Lord—if we did not fear the Lord, we would become progressive.
(The Dissenter) Jesus is conservative, period. And anyone who attempts to make the case otherwise does not know Him or understand His word. To clarify, I am not saying that Jesus is a Republican, but Jesus is conservative—he is the absolute standard of conservatism. Continue reading
Syncretism stew
“What this event makes clear is that God rejects worship of him in improper forms. He has the right to tell his people how he wants to be worshiped, and his people must follow those instructions to the letter. This event is also an illustration of a problem that will plague Hebrew worship for a long time—syncretism. They mixed true worship with false.”
(Scott Anoil) In the Old Testament Law, God gave his people very specific instructions about how they were to relate to the people around them, including in their culture and worship practices.
Deuteronomy 12:2–8 reveals important principles in this regard. God commanded that the people destroy the places where pagans worshiped, including their altars, their pillars, their images, and even the names of the places…. Continue reading
“Collins is attempting to hijack the pro-life movement to include both anti-gun sentiments as well as pro-transexual sentiments.”
(The Dissenter) Revoice is a conference that promotes “gay Christianity” and has actually advocated for homosexual Christian relationships and for, of course, calls for an end to the “victimization” of homosexuals, to which they coined the term “sexual minorities.” Preston Sprinkle, one of the co-founders of Revoice, refers to sexually confused men who dress, think, and act like women, as “theologically conservative.”….

“The first AR-15s and other assault style firearms will start to be bought back by the end of this year. It’s going to be hard, but we’re going to get it done.”
(Paul Best – Fox News) Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday that his government is introducing legislation to “implement national freeze on handgun ownership” throughout the country.
“What this means is that it will no longer be possible to buy, sell, transfer or import handguns anywhere in Canada,” Trudeau said at a press conference. Continue reading
“The trial should have been of the FBI and Clinton apparatchiks in the FBI and DOJ for trying to overturn a presidency. No one believes the FBI didn’t know the truth. Sussmann should have gone on trial for conspiracy if anything, not for lying to people who knew what he was up to unless they are stupid, which we doubt.” — Mary Dowling, Independent Sentinel
(Spencer Brown – Townhall) A Washington, D.C., jury found Michael Sussmann not guilty on Tuesday morning of lying to the FBI in 2016 about working on behalf of Hillary Clinton when he presented debunked information that he claimed showed a connection between Donald Trump and Russia — a report made to the FBI that would set off years of Russian collusion hoax-fury that ultimately was found to be nothing by Robert Mueller’s independent investigation. Continue reading
“It seems likely the Democrats in the House may have enough votes to pass the package. A vote will reportedly be held next week on the litany of bills.”
(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) Democrats are preparing a large gun control package to be considered in House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
The package, dubbed, “Protecting Our Kids,” includes eight bills designed to erode citizens’ Second Amendment rights. Continue reading
“The Biden administration is expanding this to include demanding K – 12 schools do away with the separation of gender bathrooms. That is to say: any place that accepts federal money for the sake of food must go as far as enacting transgender-friendly policies within the workplace.
(Nick Monroe – The Post Millennial) The Biden administration through the USDA is set to enforce transgender-friendly bathroom policies through a scheme that ties funding for federal aid programs for student food via compliance of “equity” friendly systems. Continue reading
This is eerily reminiscent of what Steven Richards, who lived masquerading as a female for eight years starting when he was just 15, said about his former delusions. The “miserable world I escaped from,” he revealed, is one holding out the illusory promise that the next step in your “transition — a new name, a new set of pronouns, another year of hormones, another surgery,” will bring you the promised happiness. “But, as I learned,” he said, “it never can.”
(Selwyn Duke – The New American) Disney took it on the chin after getting political and opposing Florida’s parental-rights bill. Netflix recently told its employees that if they were offended by the company’s politically incorrect content, they could quit. But this hasn’t stopped Mattel from leaning heavily into the sexual devolutionary agenda and birthing a freaky first:
The toy maker has created the world’s first “transgender” Barbie doll. Continue reading
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) A military strike that utilized quadcopter drones launched from inside Iran hit the top-secret Iranian military base at Parchin. It’s believed the strike targeted Iran’s drone research and development complex and not its missile or nuclear research facilities.
No nation has claimed responsibility for the attack, but both Iran and the U.S. say that it fits the pattern of past attacks by Israel. Continue reading
(Thomas D. Williams – Breitbart) Pope Francis told a Buddhist delegation from Mongolia Saturday that Jesus and Buddha shared a common commitment to peace and nonviolence.
“Jesus and the Buddha were peacemakers and promotors of nonviolence,” the pontiff told the delegation of Mongolian Buddhists during a private audience in the Vatican, while also urging an end to violence against the environment. Continue reading
“The team – the cabal – is reducing the middle class to poverty and deprivation willfully. The USA is in serious danger.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Biden’s team is obliterating the middle class in this country and it’s deliberate while his administration and the media lie to us about what is happening.
Inflation is running rampant. The Producer Price Index, the most useful measure of general inflation, is up a whopping 16.3% from April 2021, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, The NY Post reports. Continue reading
“These mandates must fall. One such effort is the proposed Texas COVID Vaccine Freedom Act. The proposal is based on the common law rule that informed consent does not exist when a patient is coerced or compelled to receive a medical procedure.”
(Rep. Brian Harrison & James R. Lawrence, III – Revolver) On May 5, citing the risk “of rare and potentially life-threatening blood clots,” FDA announced it was trimming back authorization of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine. For millions of Americans coerced by their employers into taking that particular shot against their will, the agency’s action is too little, too late. Continue reading
(Matt Margolis – PJ Media) It’s impossible to say that I’m shocked by the latest bombshell courtesy of the American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ).
According to a memo obtained by ACLJ via a FOIA lawsuit, several Obama administration officials held secret meetings with Iran during Trump’s presidency.
Former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry’s efforts to undermine Trump by negotiating with Iran as Trump was working towards pulling out of the nuclear deal have been known for years…. Continue reading
Bancel called out the ugly Americans. “In the U.S., people don’t want vaccines. Around the world, we have a lot of people who don’t want the vaccine,” Bancel mourned, before reiterating that the problem was not a “capacity limit.”
(Athena Thorne – PJ Media) Our betters in the World Economic Forum (WEF) gathered in Davos this week to decide what’s best for the planet and everyone on it (especially themselves). But Stéphane Bancel, CEO of Moderna, was sad. He was disappointed that the plebs don’t want his company’s revered COVID-19 vaccines. Continue reading
“So what is Archbishop Cordileone supposed to do in the face of abortion zealotry? Nothing? Many Catholic clerics are afraid to advocate on behalf of the unborn. They know they will be attacked in vile ways if they do. They understand the media will viciously demonize them.”
(Bill O’Reilly) The most powerful cleric in Northern California is a marked man. Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone is not backing down from denying Nancy Pelosi the Catholic sacrament of Holy Communion. And not only that, the Archbishop has publicly said that Mrs. Pelosi is in danger of “losing her soul,” which is what eternal damnation is. Continue reading
Duncan–“and others who have embraced this kind of ideology—should certainly be placed in the ‘not recommended’ category, at the very least.”
(The Dissenter) Recently, John MacArthur’s church held a discernment conference called the Truth Matters conference. We recommend watching every video presentation available from that conference. However, one particular presentation of interest was Justin Peter’s warning against a prominent social justice warrior, Ligon Duncan. Continue reading
