(Rob Golding – Fight of Faith) Penal substitutionary atonement is difficult to understand, in part because we fail to conceive of the parties involved properly. Matters are complicated when the likes of N.T. Wright hyperbolically refer to “justification” in the traditional sense as a mysterious “gas” that passes through the courtroom. Others imagine God is like a judge who condemns his son to prison because another man stole someone else’s car. If Sam steals Bob’s car, it makes little sense to imprison little Joey, the judge’s son. Many see here “cosmic child abuse.” Continue reading
Accountability Time Is Coming for Mainstream Media’s Russiagate Disgrace, but Is It Too Late?
“More than half of the country view the media as “the enemy of the American people” ought to put the fear of God into every man and woman working at every news website, cable news outlet, newspaper, broadcast media and news analysis and opinion website.”
(Mark Tapscott – PJ Media) Sooner or later, the truth always comes out in politics, at least as long as there remain even a few independent and intellectually honest journalists willing to put their careers and reputations on the line for the record. Continue reading
They’re Readying a Vaccine for a Marburg Virus Pandemic
“In 2020, Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar issued a new notice of declaration under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act to provide immunity for activities related to ‘countermeasures’ against Marburg virus and/or Marburg Disease. That’s exactly what they did with COVID. It’s happening again.”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) There is an outbreak of the Marburg Virus in Equatorial Guinea. Yesterday the WHO confirmed the recently identified hemorrhagic fever cases in Equatorial Guinea as Marburg fever. While just one positive test has been reported, there are 16 suspected cases, with nine deaths. Continue reading
Woke Evangelical Org Claims Asbury Revival is Moving School Toward Affirming Queers
The New Evangelicals posted a tweet that stated “Just met with an openly queer student who said ultimately they have seen progress at the school over the past 4 years and believe this revival is planting seeds that will do more good than harm.”
(The Dissenter) If you haven’t heard of The New Evangelicals, it is an organization that claims to be a voice for the marginalized in the evangelical church, but its true motives and agenda are dubious. It purports to prioritize the voices of marginalized individuals, but in reality, it is an openly liberal, anti-conservative, and anti-Christian organization…. Continue reading
Be Killing Sin Or It Will Be Killing You
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (LSB)
The 21st Century version of pop-Christianity is not doctrinally sound. That should not surprise us since those most of influence in it elevate human philosophy up to the highest esteem while looking at Orthodox Christianity and its solid biblical doctrines as passé or old-fashioned or something to be phased out to make room for what is culturally relevant. One of the components of this “pop-Christianity” consists of using cool buzzwords like “missional.”… Continue reading
We’re in trouble with teen girls: Dr. Marc Siegel analyzes CDC’s ‘shocking’ teen mental health report
(Maria Lencki – Fox News) Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel says social media may have a lot to do with America’s mental health crisis among teenage girls.
A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revealed teen girls are battling record levels of violence, sadness and suicide risk. The findings also revealed sexual violence among teen girls has increased 20% between 2017 through 2021, while hopelessness increased from 36% to 57%. Continue reading
The ‘He Gets Us’ Woke Jesus Wasn’t Woke Enough And Never Will Be
(Ray Rava – Evangelical Dark Web) It’s amazing how many liberals saved their outrage for the He Gets Us commercials which aired during the Super Bowl. Last week, Evangelical Dark Web exposed the groups behind He Gets Us, which included David Green of Hobby Lobby and Signatry. Ironic as it may seem, David Green would partner with a pro-abortion firm to market Jesus. What was the ROI for investing tens of millions of dollars in Super Bowl ads? As it would seem, the exact people the ads were marketed to hated them. Continue reading
‘What’s Happening to Children Is Morally and Medically Appalling’
“Given the secrecy and lack of rigorous standards that characterize youth gender transition across the country, I believe that to ensure the safety of American children, we need a moratorium on the hormonal and surgical treatment of young people with gender dysphoria.”
(Nate Jackson – The Patriot Post) We’ve written at length about the transgender issue generally, and about the danger to children specifically. Our position is well researched and well established. Even so, when someone from the other side boldly agrees, we take note. Continue reading
Infamous Faux Faith-Healer, Todd Bentley Discredits the Asbury Revival
“Bentley once claimed he healed seven deaf people in one night and also claims to raise people from the dead. On one occasion, after claiming to raise someone from the dead in a hospital, Chris Rosebrough called the hospital only to say that there was no record of what Bentley claimed.”
(The Dissenter) Yesterday, we published an article expressing our concerns over the hyper-emotionalism on display at the so-called Asbury Revival taking place at Asbury University, a multi-denominational ecumenical school that is loosely associated with the Wesleyan-Methodist tradition…. Continue reading
The Lordship of Christ Concerning Genuine Saving Faith
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ concerning all of you because your faith is being proclaimed in all the world. Romans 1:8 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
In these broadly apostate days of the visible church the good biblical words such as ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ are thrown around and used in such a loose way that it is important for us dig into what God’s Word says about πιστεύω (pisteuō), “to have faith in, trust; particularly, to be firmly, persuaded as to something” and πιστός (pistos), an adjective meaning “faithful, trustworthy, reliable, dependable” instead of relying on what our modern translations give us for these words, for if we do not “dig” we remain in a shallow understanding of these things…. Continue reading
Damar Hamlin Wears Jacket With Blasphemous Jesus Depiction
“This is shameful, shameful behavior towards the one who saved his life. Whether it’s intentional or not, This is fit to be burned.” – Protestia
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) Damar Hamlin became a household name in America after he had a non-football related accident on the field during a nationally televised Monday Night Football game. This led to weeks of sports media theatrics and shallow prayers for virtue signaling which were soon replaced by the league with “love” for Damar. Damar Hamlin was early on portrayed as a Christian athlete…. Continue reading
Pilots’ Accounts of UFO Raise Serious Questions – CNN Coverage Sounds Downright Spooky
(Jack Davis – Western Journal) Pilots sent aloft to learn about the object shot down off Alaska’s northern coast on Friday could not agree on what they were seeing, according to a new report.
The object was first detected on Thursday, with F-35 fighter aircraft sent to learn more about it, according to CNN.
What they came back with were differing stories, CNN reported, citing a “source briefed on the intelligence.” Continue reading
Why 65 Percent of Fourth Graders Can’t Really Read
“What exactly are these teachers doing to children? These “other strategies” are educating generations of children who learn to hate reading and struggle to read at their own grade level.”
(Rick Moran – PJ Media) On Saturday, I wrote about the 230,000 children who failed to show up for class when public schools reopened after the pandemic. It’s a tragedy without parallel in American history as many of the no-shows are very young — K through 3rd grade. Critical skills learned in early education were not taught to these kids, who are now hopelessly behind. Continue reading
How Charlatans are Using Super Bowl to Advance False Prophecies About ‘Revival’
It is clear that Shawn Bolz, Bob Jones, Todd Bentley, and all of those associated with this hyper-charismatic New Apostolic Reformation modern-day prophetic movement are all false prophets and false teachers. Jesus says in Matthew 24:24 that “For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”
(The Dissenter) If you’ve been paying attention to Christendom, you’re likely aware of the so-called “Asbury Revival” taking place at Asbury University right now. And while we are skeptical of what is taking place there, there are most certainly charlatans who are going to use this to further their own deception and lead other people astray. Continue reading
Sex Educator for Kids 3-18, Teaches Them to Choose Different Genders
Is your kid porn literate?
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) Sex education and flexible genders for 3-year olds? Al Vernacchio is a high school sex educator as if we need one in the first place. He says we are sexual beings from birth and have so many more options now. He’s telling children they can try out different genders, and he has a sex ed program for children as young as 3 years old.
This is what we call an educator these days. Continue reading
The Mess of an Address
“Joe Biden misinforms, ignores, and attacks—and then calls for “unity,” as the country collectively slides into ruin.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) After listening to the State of the Union address, Americans know why the latest Reuters poll has Joe Biden at 41 percent approval.
Vice President Kamala Harris polls even lower—despite the obsequious efforts of the most biased media in history that has, in effect, merged with the Democratic Party. The nation was reminded again why only 37 percent of Biden’s own party want him to run again. Continue reading
Yoel Roth Makes Damning Admission During Hearing, Elon Takes Him Down With One Tweet
“Elon Musk came in and showed there was a blacklist with conservatives like Charlie Kirk and Dan Bongino on it. But don’t worry it was called “visibility filtering” not shadow banning, so Jack wasn’t just gaslighting us all.”
(Nick Arama – Red State) There were a lot of dramatic moments at the House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday.
Among the most informative was when Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) nailed former head of Twitter Trust and Safety Yoel Roth for Twitter’s contact with the Biden team to suppress tweets…. Continue reading
Andy Stanley’s Church Celebrates Coming Out of Transgender Intern Who Worked at Student Camps
“We’ve discovered at least one “transgender” person who came out on their Instagram page giving himself self-praise for taking thousands of pills, having surgeries, and more to deceive himself and others into believing that he is a female. Here are the posts…”
(The Dissenter) In case you’ve missed it, there’s a big kerfuffle going on over at Andy Stanley’s Northpoint Ministries and its various massive campuses. Apparently, Andy Stanley is a lot more pro-LGBTQ than folks thought. For the last several weeks, he’s been all over the headlines after a sermon of his resurfaced where he basically said that homosexual people who love Jesus have more faith than most Christians. I know, it sounds crazy, but it’s true. Continue reading
Biden’s State Department Funds a Secret Site Blacklisting Conservatives
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) According to the Washington Examiner, another means of targeting conservative sites has popped up. A Microsoft company called GDI blacklists conservatives for “safety” and sends the lists to ad companies so they can cancel them. Biden’s State Department sends tax dollars to the company to help them silence the right. Biden is such a unifier. Your tax dollars at work.
We pay for our own demise. Continue reading
‘Two FBIs’: Whistleblowers accuse DC HQ of trampling Constitution, field offices
“Twitter Files show agency’s mission is now “a perversion of the First Amendment,” 33-year veteran says.”
(Greg Piper – Just the News) House Republicans think federal agencies have become a weapon against their own apolitical employees and the constitutional rights of Americans. House Democrats think House Republicans have become a weapon against the prerogatives of federal agencies.
The parties traded laundry lists of grievances stemming from agency and congressional investigations, from the Benghazi attack to the Russia collusion hoax, at the first hearing Thursday of the House Judiciary Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. Continue reading
Disney Actually Just Laid Off 2.4 Million People — Including Me
It’s one thing to include gay characters, whatever. It’s quite another to ret-con a decidedly straight character like Luke just to send a message to old fans. And that message is: “Everything you love, we can destroy.”
(Stephen Green – PJ Media) Disney shares are up Thursday on news that the company is cutting costs and letting go of 7,000 employees. But the real news is that the formerly family-friend studio lost 2.4 million streaming subscribers — and has no plan to end the woke programming that drove them away.
Including me. Continue reading
Evangelical group’s naive embrace of U.N.’s ‘climate science’
“It’s understandable that the average person has no idea what really goes on. As someone who has watched the climate world for more than a decade, I’m sorry to report that the IPCC does not deserve our trust. The National Association of Evangelicals’ naive embrace of this organization is therefore unwarranted.”
(Donna Laframboise) Last summer the National Association of Evangelicals, an organization largely in America but with some representation in my country, Canada, published a report that urges Christians to care deeply about climate change. Titled “Loving the Least of These,” it relies on the work of a United Nations entity to make its case. Continue reading
Major Church Leaves Acts 29 Network Over Promotion of Transgenderism and Women Preaching
“We have become alarmed by systems within Acts 29 that have led to things like women preaching and the promotion of transgenderism within Acts 29 churches which go against both Acts 29’s distinctives and biblical truth.”
(The Dissenter) If you’re not familiar with the Acts 29 network, it is a coalition of churches that are bound together under the leadership of its president, Matt Chandler. Continue reading
He Gets Us Exposed: The Money and Marketing behind the $20 Million SuperBowl Ads
“In attempting to brand Jesus as rebellious, radical, and anti-establishment, the He Gets Us campaign, initiated by the Servant Foundation, is going to squander what they forecast to be a billion dollars by 2025 on a puerile advertising campaign that misapplies Scripture and slanders Christ. Moreover, it is reliant upon pro-abortion creatives, Mormons, and apostates to create a presentation that will fail to lead people to Christ. God’s word does not come back void, but one must utilize Scripture for this to be true.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) While watching or attending sporting events in America, the people have become exposed to the He Gets Us campaign. Whether via commercials or through stadium advertising, messages about Jesus are presented in the most trifling manner with banal statements like “Jesus left it all on the field” to more unscriptural statements like “Jesus was a refuge” and “Jesus was fed up with politics, too” in vain attempts to make Jesus more relatable to a modern audience…. Continue reading
CCP Balloon Had Tools to Collect Communication Signals
“The US wouldn’t shoot it down, and now Biden’s only reaction is it won’t hurt our relations with them???”
(Mary Dowling – Independent Sentinel) According to the State Department, China’s spycraft, which targeted US communications, flew over more than 40 countries and is directed by the Chinese military.
The NY Times reports:
The United States used high-resolution imagery from U-2 flybys to determine the balloon’s capabilities, the department said in a written announcement, adding that the balloon’s equipment “was clearly for intelligence surveillance and inconsistent with the equipment onboard weather balloons.” Continue reading
