B. B. Warfield on ‘Antichrist’: Is the antichrist a future foe, or a present reality?

“Warfield’s point is an important one and rarely considered. There is a specific biblical usage of the term Antichrist as found in John’s epistles, the only place where the word appears in Scripture. Warfield contends that this evidence ought to be considered quite apart from Paul’s “man of lawlessness” and John’s beast and false prophet.”

(Kim Riddlebarger) One of the most thought provoking discussions of “Antichrist” comes from B. B. Warfield. In one of his last essays written for publication before his death in February of 1921, Warfield addressed the matter of the biblical use of the term “Antichrist” as found in John’s epistles….

Stolen Youth: The Cultural Revolution in America

“Make America Great is racist, and color blind is racist. Drag queens are good and pure. Everyone can change their gender. Porn is good. Pedophilia is acceptable in some books now in school libraries.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The radical left, the WOKEs, are “turning children into child soldiers in the woke reimagining of our society.” They will harm the youth to achieve their goals because the end justifies the means. Continue reading

Secret Surveillance Video Dismantles January 6 Narrative

Clips aired during Tucker Carlson’s show on Monday night demonstrate how the January 6 select committee doctored surveillance video.

(Julie Kelly – American Greatness) Fox News host Tucker Carlson aired the first set of previously-unseen surveillance video captured by Capitol police security cameras on January 6, 2021 that undermines several aspects of the reigning narrative about what happened that day.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) last month gave Carlson’s team “unfettered” access to 41,000 hours of footage the government kept hidden from the American public and individuals charged in the Justice Department’s unprecedented and ongoing investigation into the events of January 6….

Anarcho-Communists Arrested in Georgia

“Some are now calling for a full investigation as to who is behind these protests, encouraging the GBI to follow the money trail and infiltrate the organization to determine who is behind these two related protests. The people of Atlanta are saying it is high time to utilize the 1970 Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act.”

(Mark Schwendau) Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) staff attorney Thomas Jurgens was among almost two dozen of the rioters arrested following a violent attack on police at a proposed training site of the Atlanta Police Foundation’s facility, located a few miles south of the city….

Hostile Tribes

(Bill O’Reilly) Not since the Civil War have the people of the United States been more hostile to each other. The corporate media and some toxic internet sites are largely responsible. Many Americans no longer seek common ground; our new collective hobby is despising those who hold different points of view.

After the brutal attack on September 11, the country largely came together to oppose the evil Jihad. Initially, President Bush the younger had overwhelming support to right the wrong. Continue reading

Steven Furtick Sells Tickets for Worship Service Tour for Hundreds of Dollars Each

Steven Furtick is a perfect example of what Jude tells us in verse 12, “These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.” 

(The Dissenter) If there has been a more blatant example of Matthew 19:24 being played out in modern times than the Furtick family, I’ve not seen it. Jesus’s words were clear, “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”… Continue reading

SHOCK VIDEO: Tucker Carlson Outs the Lies About January 6

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Fox News’ Tucker Carlson was given access to more than 44,000 hours of video from the “deadly insurrection” of January 6, 2021. And after only “three weeks” of culling through the video, Carlson believes he’s blown up — KABOOM — several lies the American public has been force-fed by the media about that day.

In the first of his exposés about January 6, Carlson displayed a video that basically blew up the narrative about the day that Democrats claim was worse than 9/11. Video Carlson exposed on Monday night and will again on Tuesday showed that the lies about that day began immediately. Continue reading

Parents alarmed by satanist after-school clubs forming across U.S.

(Just the News) As curriculum awareness grows across the United States, parents are now sounding the alarm over the Satanic Temple (TST)’s efforts to create after-school clubs for students.

Parents say they are worried about the impact it may have on young children’s view of faith.

In December of last year, a TST “After-School Satan Club” was approved at a Virginia elementary school, resulting in backlash from parents distributed by the push to indoctrinate young children into Satanism. Continue reading

We should help young people experience how the promises God offers them far surpass the false promises of witchcraft and ungodly spirits.

“More and more popular entertainers make reference to occult symbols, practices, and themes. The culture, in general, is moving further toward a sense of nihilism that borders on the demonic. In some circles, it’s considered “woke” to be a witch. Reading tarot cards, consulting psychics, and playing with crystals are in. Thus, we can’t afford to be naive.”  

(Stephen Adubato – The Federalist) In a recent New York Times editorial, Ross Douthat called into question the naive, materialist readings of the new statue of a female pagan deity that was installed outside the New York courthouse…. Continue reading

The Astonishing Case of The Lockdown Files

“They call into question much of the reasoning for months of national lockdowns and other restrictions on daily life in Britain, including social distancing, face masks, and the closure of schools.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The Telegraph UK published revelations based on over 100,000 leaked WhatsApp messages from Matt Hancock, the former health secretary, and other ministers and officials. They are dubbed The Lockdown Files. Continue reading

BidenCash criminal market releases over 2M credit card numbers free for the taking

Check to see if any of your credit cards are exposed by this dark underground market.

(Kurt Knutsson – Fox News) A criminal site known as BidenCash, which uses the president’s name and likeness to trade in stolen data, has just leaked 2,165,700 credit and debit cards online.

In a brazen one-year celebration of its first anniversary of operating its illegal marketplace that trades in stolen data and financial credentials like credit cards, it advertised its massive leak on an underground cybercrime forum. Continue reading

Major Endorsements Retracted After TGC Publishes Blasphemous Article

Brace yourselves.

(The Dissenter) If you’ve been following the news cycle the last couple of days, you’re probably aware of the extremely gross, vile, and filthy article published by Joshua Butler at The Gospel Coalition that depicted Jesus ejaculating his “seed” into His bride (the Church) in the same way that a man ejaculates into his wife. Thankfully, after much pushback from conservatives and exposure from publications like The Dissenter, TGC decided to remove the article from the website. Continue reading

A few years ago John MacArthur withdrew his endorsement of Greg Laurie’s Harvest Crusade. Here’s why.

CRN discovered the following article that was written in 2016 by Bud Ahlheim. It’s important that our subscribers are aware that John MacArthur removed his endorsement of Harvest Crusades because of what Phil Johnson referred to as Greg Laurie’s “significant drift in position” in a letter he wrote to clear up why John MacArthur chose to no longer be affiliated with Harvest. Johnson includes the names of some of the false teachers Greg Laurie associated with at the time — Rick Warren, [child molester, revealed in 2024] Robert Morris, and Craig Groeschel, to name three.

Now to Bud Ahlheim’s 2016 article. Continue reading

On Rescuing the Future of America and Recovering the Truths of Our More Perfect Union

“As much as I loved in those youthful days the New York Yankees of Mickey Mantle and Bobby Richardson and the Indy 500 of A.J. Foyt and Roger Ward, it was America — Washington crossing the Delaware, the Constitution and The Federalist Papers, Calhoun and Webster debating, the settling of the West, America’s role in winning two world wars, and the incredible freedom of our people — that moved me like nothing else.”

(Mark Tapscott – PJ Media) It was not long after I picked up and began reading my friend Tim Goeglein’s profoundly important new book — Toward A More Perfect Union: The Moral and Cultural Case for Teaching the Great American Story — that it had me all but in tears. Continue reading

Bible Project’s Tim Mackie and contemplative prayer

“Why do Mackie and Tyler Staton not know this about Keating? Sure, Keating can speak “Christianese” if that is what his audience requires. He can speak of Trinitarian love, or about Christ with seeming sincerity. But it doesn’t take much effort at all to learn about Keating’s actual theology.”

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) “And that’s because the Divine Presence is always with us. This can be understood as the glorified Christ, or as the Holy Spirit, or as the Trinity, or as the Higher Consciousness, or as the One Self, or as the Higher Self.” – Contemplative prayer advocate Thomas Keating.

Yikes! Unholy. Continue reading

LGBTQ-Activist Dem Mayor, Who Was ‘Mentored’ by Buttigieg, Arrested for Vile Charge

“Wojahn used to have the Instagram username and Twitter handle, “Patrick4CP,” his re-election tagline, Patrick for College Park. Child pornography is often abbreviated as “CP” by child predators searching for it online.”

(Mia Cathell – Townhall) The gay-activist Democrat mayor of College Park, Maryland, who has branded himself as something of a role model for LGBTQ youth, was arrested Thursday morning on dozens of counts of possessing and distributing child pornography, totaling 56 child sex offenses. Continue reading

Hershey’s Hates Women on International Women’s Day

Hershey’s doesn’t know that this trans woman is a man?

“This is political indoctrination of the masses, and Hershey’s is an enthusiastic partner in it. I don’t think I ever need Hershey’s chocolate again as long as I live. The indoctrination is bad enough, but pretending a man is a woman to erase women is a step too far.”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) For International Women’s Day, Hershey’s Canada has released five limited editions “HER for SHE,” chocolate bars featuring the faces of five women to “shine a light on women and girls who inspire us every day.” Continue reading

Preston Sprinkle LGBTQ Parenting Video is Explicit: Your Child Will Be Gay Forever

“This statement is blasphemous, and it robs the struggling Christians of the hope of having their sexuality redeemed by Christ, to be counted among the “and such were some of you, but you were washed….” in 1 Corinthians 6:9.” 

(Protestia) Preston Sprinkle is the co-founder of Revoice, President of the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender, and host of Theology in the Raw podcast. No stranger to perverse and novel theology, he’s known for championing “gay-Christian” or a “trans Christian” identities, declaring that these designations ought to be celebrated and fully embraced by the church, promoting personal pronouns, and arguing that annihilationism and universalism as legitimate, orthodox Christian positions. Continue reading

Tucker Carlson Calls Out Beth Moore, David French, And Tim Keller for Not Opposing Drag Queen Story Hour

Drag queen “Annie Christ”

Tucker describes a scene in Canada “where a no-name pastor was violently thrown out of a public library where men dressed as hyper-sexualized caricatures of women danced around with little children…”

(The Dissenter) I may not agree with everything Tucker says and all of his viewpoints but praise God for putting at least one man in the national media with the guts to say exactly what we small-time Evangelical voices have been saying for years. That is that those people platformed to represent Evangelical Christianity are essentially frauds, most of them there for the sole purpose of turning the Church into a liberal hellhole. Continue reading

The Jesus Revolution?

“Was the Jesus Movement transformational? When a person reads about the Jesus Movement and its people (called Jesus People) transformed lives are not immediately evident. Granted, a new convert does not always change everything overnight. However, there are certain practices that should change relatively quickly.”

(Taigen Joos – G3 Ministries) The worldwide release of a new film entitled Jesus Revolution is set for Friday, February 24. The film is based on a book by the same title written by Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, CA…. Continue reading

The Woke Wrecking Machine

“Woke dogma mandates that pollution and poverty are no longer concerns—if they affect the white poor who are stereotyped collectively as privileged victimizers.” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Almost everything that has followed from the woke mass hysteria gripping the nation since 2020 has proved disastrous.

Wokeism destroys meritocracy in favor of forced equality of result — history’s prescription for civilizational decline. Continue reading

Bombshell: Deadly Weaponization of COVID-19 Medical Research

Dr. Makary said that public health officials and the CDC are proposing “a 12-year-old little girl get 65 vaccines in her lifetime. Based on what? How about we see the data? When did we forget the scientific process altogether?”

(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) The House Oversight Committee began hearings on the COVID investigation. Three eminent doctors kicked it off today with bombshell testimony. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford, Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard, and Dr. Marty Makary of Johns Hopkins testified. Continue reading

Beth Moore Rants Over Women Not Being Allowed To Preach In The SBC On The Podcast Of An Advocate for ‘Gay Christianity’

(The Dissenter) Preston Sprinkle is the founder of the Center for Faith, Sexuality, & Gender, a ministry dedicated to advocating and promoting “Side B” “gay Christianity.” Similar to Revoice, of which he is also an original advisory board member, Sprinkles’ ministry promotes the aberrant belief that one can continue living as an open homosexual so long as they don’t engage in homosexual sex.

And it was to Preston Sprinkles’ podcast that Beth Moore turned to complain about the Southern Baptist Convention’s decision to take a harder stance against women preaching…. Continue reading

Okay, So It Looks as if the Justice Department Probably Has Spies in Catholic Churches

Garland, however, ignored this salient question and plowed on: “It’s appalling. It’s appalling. I’m in complete agreement with you. I understand that the FBI has withdrawn it and it’s now looking into how this could ever have happened.”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) In a heated exchange with Gestapo chief Merrick Garland at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) directly challenged Garland’s viciously corrupt and politicized “Justice” Department, and zeroed in on the once-respected agency’s targeting of traditionalist Roman Catholics….
