Twisted Scripture: The Growing Trend of Re-interpreting the Scriptures to Justify Our Own Passions

“How can we claim to know the objective and truthful Creator of all things if we are free to subjectively interpret His word according to the whims of culture, politics, and social climate?”

(The Dissenter) The twisting of Scripture for personal gain is nothing new, but I have observed a rapidly growing and disturbing trend among politicians who claim to be Christians and religious leaders who support them, who attempt to reason that certain passages of Scripture hold different meanings for them than they do for others….

What Caused the Political Hysteria?

“Can House Speaker Kevin McCarthy ever be considered too inflammatory, given that his predecessor, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore up the president’s State of the Union address on national television?” 

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) The Left has gone mad over Donald J. Trump—past, present, and future.

The current Democratic Party and NeverTrump “conservatives” assumed that Trump was and remains so obviously toxic that they do not have to define exactly what his evil entails. Continue reading

Five Biblical Ways to Identify a False Teacher

“As believers and followers of Christ, it is our solemn duty to exercise discernment in identifying and resisting the false teachings of false teachers, who through their deceit, greed, worldly-mindedness, lack of true salvation, and rejection of sound doctrine, seek to lead the faithful astray.” 

(The Dissenter) As we find ourselves in the tumultuous and uncertain times of the church age, it is of utmost importance that we exercise discernment in discerning the truth of scripture from the plethora of falsehoods that seek to assail our faith. The great theologian and pastor Charles Spurgeon once stated…. Continue reading

Scientist Presents Clinical Evidence to Halt Covid Shots

“The vaccine-induced injury rate was also established in a two-part peer-reviewed study titled “Curing the pandemic of misinformation on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines through real evidence-based medicine” also posted last September. That study’s author, renowned British cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, also called for the suspension of Covid shots, arguing the vaccines cause more harm than Covid.”

(Veronika Kyrylenko – The New American) The association between excess mortality and disability rates and genetic Covid shots is getting stronger. On Monday, Dr. Joseph Fraiman, lead author of a peer-reviewed study on Pfizer and Moderna clinical trials for mRNA Covid jabs, called for an immediate suspension of these products, citing “conclusive evidence” of them causing serious adverse events, including sudden cardiac arrests. Continue reading

The Pulpitless Plague: A Tragic Tale of Abandonment and its Devastating Impact on the Church

“The pastors of today have lost sight of the true purpose of their calling, preferring to focus on self-help sermons and motivational speeches that lack the power to truly transform the hearts and minds of their congregants. They have abandoned the authority of the pulpit, forsaking their role as heralds of the gospel, choosing instead to be mere entertainers and purveyors of a secular message.”  

(The Dissenter) Let us imagine a man, a pastor, who forsakes the traditional trappings of his calling, forgoing the pulpit for a mere stool. He sits, not with the regal bearing of a man called by God to deliver his word, but with the slouching posture of a man worn down by the banalities of everyday life. His voice, not the booming oration of a prophet, but a whiny inflection that speaks to the mundane complaints and grievances of the members of his church, rather than the holiness, righteousness, justice, wrath, mercy, and grace of God. Continue reading

Rachael Denhollander has conflicts of interest in relationship with SBC Abuse Hotline

“So the leftists got control of the SBC Executive Committee and Credentials Committee over a year ago. Supposedly over sex abuse. Hundreds if not thousands of churches were covering it up, don’t you know. So we were told, anyway. And yet, more than a year later, the so-called ‘reformers’ haven’t found a single church to disfellowship for violating the anti-sex abuse rules. Not even one.”

(Capstone Report) The Southern Baptist Convention is directing abuse reporters through its Abuse Hotline to an abuse advocate and lawyer Rachael Denhollander. Unfortunately, new revelations reveal not only Denhollander’s conflict of interest but also, she is secretly directing abuse survivors to lawyers who could file lawsuits against the SBC and directing the abuse survivors to friendly members of the press—in what is clearly a pressure campaign against the SBC….

Jackie Hill Perry Repents of Using and Promoting the Enneagram, Calls it Demonic

“If we could just get her to repent of all of her other false teachings, such as Same-sex-attracted Christianity, feminism, the social gospel, and charismaticism, and get her to step down and sit under solid Bible teaching, she might become credible.”

(The Dissenter) The Enneagram, which is touted as a way–apart from the Scriptures–to gain insight into one’s “true self,” restoring balance and developing more desirable qualities to one’s personality and reaching a state of spiritual “freedom,” is a system of personality typing and self-awareness that was developed in the 20th century by George Gurdjieff and Oscar Ichazo. Its origins have been linked to Gnostic principles and teachings, but its compatibility with Christianity is highly contested by Bible-believing Christianity. Continue reading

Woke M&M’s packaging features ‘Fat-Positive’ and ‘Lesbian’ Candies

(Protestia) Last year, the confectionery giant Mars announced a revamp to their product line M&M, in order to give them a “fresh, modern take on the looks of our beloved characters and more nuanced personalities to underscore the importance of self-expression and power of community through storytelling” along with an “updated tone of voice that is more inclusive, welcoming, and unifying, while remaining rooted in our signature jester wit and humor.” Continue reading

Matt Gaetz, Mad Genius

“It’s more than fair to call last week’s festivities a circus. The thing about circuses is, they’re a lot like the cotton candy they serve: enjoyed in the moment and quickly forgotten….So what about the substance? PJ Media detailed that over the weekend, so you might have missed it.”

(Stephen Green – PJ Media) It’s easy to dismiss Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, with the perfectly coiffed hair, the beach tan, the made-for-TV theatrics, and what I assume must be veneers. It’s easy — but it’s wrong, as new (and newly chastened) House Speaker Kevin McCarthy learned last week. Continue reading

Highly Influential False Teacher, Jack Hayford, Dies at 88

Hayford was also heavily involved in the Evangelical “climate change” movement and promotes Dominionist Kingdom Now Theology, which is the belief that it is the church’s responsibility to take control of the world – a belief evident in the lyrics of his song “Majesty.” 

(The Dissenter) Jack Hayford, a highly influential charismatic Evangelical leader, has passed away at 88. Hayford, who composed more than 500 charismatic hymns in the modern worship scene, was highly influential in is largely responsible for a lot of the mainstream charismatic influence in modern Evangelical worship….

Former trans, gay activist aims to ‘de-program’ children from woke indoctrination: ‘Children cannot consent’

“K. Yang says her ‘non-coercive’ work aims to educate others to make the best decisions for their families”

(Fox News) Former trans and gay activist K. Yang is turning the tables on woke ideology and setting out to undo public schools’ indoctrination by “de-programming” children who have been exposed to radical gender ideology in the classroom. Continue reading

13 Big Predictions for 2023

(Theodore Rosevelt Malloch – American Greatness) Hold on to your seat. But, please, don’t take any of this so literally that you bank on it or sell all of your possessions and move to the top of a mountain to wait in vain for some finale.

Truth is, I am not Nostradamus and I have no crystal ball. I did, however, get paid big bucks heading up consulting at Wharton Econometrics, where I was asked to “invent the future” for corporate strategy clients.

So, I thought I would conjure up a special set of predictions for American Greatness readers about what might be coming in 2023. You won’t get this from the three-letter government agencies who are so one-sided nowadays, or from any of our proliferating enemies or frenemies, for that matter. Continue reading

Bethel Leader Selling ‘Prophetic Leggings’ to ‘Enhance Your Awareness of God’s Prescence’

The product description for the leggings offers, “Go from yoga [no Christian should practice yoga] to dinner in our body hugging printed leggings! Compression fit performance fabric milled in Montreal,” and the prophetic meaning is “Everything miraculous. Every dream imaginable waits to be released for those who are willing to “see”. Let Heaven’s glory and mystery be unlocked within.”

(Protestia) Pastrix Theresa Dedmon teaches and leads the Kingdom Creative Movement at Bethel Church’s School of Supernatural Ministry (BSSM) in Redding, California. We wrote about her two years ago after she promoted ‘holy snoring’ as a means of God’s miraculous healing. Continue reading

False Assumptions Behind Youth Gender Transitions

“According to SEGM, studies that are cited by the transgender cult and proponents of radical leftist gender theory are extremely flawed and misleading, and unsupported by evidence. Trans-cultists often claim that brain studies show distinct differences in the brains of trans-identifying individuals—but those studies are bogus, according to SEGM.” – Matt Margolis, PJ Media

(Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine) The highly medicalized approach to managing gender distress in youth, integral to the “gender-affirmative” care model, rests on several key assumptions. Publications promoting “gender affirmation” of youth fail to explicitly call out these assumptions—or misrepresent these problematic assumptions as proven facts. Continue reading

Pastors, Ditch the Metrosexual Persona: God Calls You to be a Faithful Shepherd and Steward of His Word

“The infamous Steven Furtick, Judah Smith, the disgraced former Hillsong pastor, Carl Lentz, and many, many more, share the same dangerous and insidious personality – one of ego, entitlement, and a thirst for power at any cost. But their egos and proclivity for self-promotion are not their only danger—these pastors also share a matching doctrine of deception and error, one that is designed to lure the unwary into their web of lies and manipulation.” 

(The Dissenter) As the shadows lengthen and the veil between worlds grows thin, a new and terrifying force has emerged from the depths of the church. It is the rise of the metrosexual pastor, a creature of preening vanity and superficiality, whose hunger for attention and adoration knows no bounds. Continue reading

Trump’s Recent Abortion Comments Are a Teaching Moment

Baby at 15 weeks. babycenter screenshot

“When does a human life begin? The objective answer would be that life begins at the moment of conception. How do we know that? Well, because before that moment, that entirely unique set of DNA did not exist, and given the nature of DNA, it can never be replicated again.” 

(Selwyn Duke – The New American) President Donald Trump’s recent claim that the GOP’s underwhelming midterm showing wasn’t his fault, but was due to the “abortion issue,” has sparked great controversy. One commentator said Trump had poked “a hornet’s nest,” another called his comments “wise, effective, and prudent,” while yet another stated that avoiding a hypocrisy charge required that 45 take “a refresher in Anti-Abortion Apologetics 101” (and all three were at the same website on the same day!)….

The Coup We Never Knew

“We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare to a country we no longer recognize, and from a coup we never knew.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Did someone or something seize control of the United States?

What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased? Continue reading

Biden Administration Goes All In For Abortion

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Biden Administration finalized a rule making permanent an abortion policy they used Branch Covidianism to implement. Under emergency authorization the abortion weapon, mifepristone, was allowed to be prescribed via telehealth services. With the emergency no longer politically expedient, the Democrat administration looks to make the temporary policy enacted in 2021 permanent. Continue reading

The State vs. Parents on the Transgender Agenda

Jude and James Younger

(Emmy Griffin – The Patriot Post) The heavily contested gender ideology is a phenomenon that has flooded the modern scene with a vengeance. The battlegrounds are varied. Some are fighting the attempted subjugation of the language. Others focus on attacking the early sexualization and indoctrination of children. Some poor parents are in the midst of custody battles for children who have been talked into buying the transgender lie. Still others want to address accommodating gender-confused individuals’ bathroom preferences. This month has already seen three different court decisions regarding gender identity/confusion and the varying issues this enabled illness presents to the culture as a whole. Continue reading

Is Tony Evans A False Teacher? What About His Daughter Priscilla Shirer?

“One of the most common label applied to Tony Evans by online discernment ministries is Pelagian. Pelagianism is the belief that Adam’s sin did not affect future generations of humanity, a rejection of the doctrine of Original Sin/Guilt. By the textbook definition of Pelagianism, Tony Evans is not Pelagian. He has a similar but distinct heretical view we will call Dispy-Pelagianism.”

(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Tony Evans would be added to a long list of pastors who compromised in 2020 to the cult of Branch Covidianism. Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship received between $2-5 million in PPP Loans from the government in 2020. Continue reading

Mark Driscoll Releases E-book on Sex that Describes in Graphic Detail Various Sex Acts

This is for real. The man has no shame. No sense of decency. Rom 16:17-18 certainly applies to “pastor” Driscoll.

(The Dissenter) Mark Driscoll was once a prominent figure in the religious community, known for his edgy, aggressive sermons and punk-inspired worship services. However, his penchant for inappropriate language and disturbing behavior ultimately led to his downfall. In 2014, Driscoll was embroiled in a scandal involving emotional and spiritual abuse of his followers, plagiarism, and financial misconduct. These heinous actions caused his empire to crumble, and he was forced to face the consequences of his actions. Continue reading

Shocking Brand New Research – Testosterone in Total Freefall, May Account for Explosion in Transgenderism

“Assuming that the Public Health™ authorities at the NIH or the FDA or the CDC actually concern themselves with health, the natural question arises: why are they seemingly doing nothing about this rapidly worsening problem?  Why the radio silence?”

(Ben Bartee – PJ Media) The left celebrates the trend while the right laments it, but what everyone can agree upon is that rates of transgenderism have exploded in the past decade. Continue reading
