Sacrifice

13 But go and learn what is the meaning of this; I desire mercy and not sacrifice, for I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Matthew 9:13 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)

Works righteousness is man’s default religion. The Jews mostly misunderstood the Old Testament sacrificial system. The point of the sacrifice was the taking away of sin and the pointing to the perfect sacrifice that would come in Christ, but most had turned it into a form of works righteousness. Continue reading

Sidney Powell: Plenty of Time for Trump to Overturn Election Results

(Solange Reyner – Newsmax) Attorney Sidney Powell says there’s plenty of time for President Donald Trump’s legal team to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

”With the fraud case, the Dec. 8 deadline doesn’t apply,” Powell said Friday during an appearance on Newsmax TV’s ”Stinchfield” in reference to the ”safe harbor” deadline that frees a state from further challenge if it resolves all disputes and certifies its voting results.

”We have at least until Dec. 14,” she said. Continue reading

China Engaged in ‘an Act of War’ by Enflaming Antifa Riots in the U.S.

“He also mentioned something far more sinister, something he described as “an act of war.” According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the Chinese military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), based an intelligence unit in the then-open Houston consulate, helping Chinese soldiers to infiltrate American society.”

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  Gordon Chang, an American of Chinese ancestry who spent decades in China and has extensively written about the threat of China, warned that China meddled in the 2020 presidential election and engaged in “an act of war” against the United States by enflaming the antifa/Black Lives Matter riots in American cities over the summer.

A 1991 study may have found the root cause of transgenderism

“It may be that those overbearing mothers, the same ones Matt Walsh focused on, are the biggest factor in transgenderism. Someone trolling through the literature discovered a 1991 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry that compared mothers of boys with gender identity issues to mothers of “normal boys.” (Yes, just 29 years ago, it was still “normal” to call a boy a boy.)”

(Andrea Widburg – American Thinker)  If you’re on the left, you believe that the traditional idea that humans come in two sexes (male and female) is not only outdated but evil…. Continue reading

Bombshell Transcript! Brian Houston Describes ‘Culture of Dysfunction’ at Hillsong NY, With Carl Lentz at the Center

(Protestia)  We wrote to you earlier that an audio recording between Hillsong founder Brian Houston and Church executives has leaked, revealing that disgraced Pastor Carl Lentz, who cheated on his wife with model Ranin Karim, had engaged in multiple sexual affairs and committed adultery with many women. According to Houston “It was more than one affair, they were significant. And at least some bad moral behavior had gone back historically.” See more here.

Now that we have had the chance to transcribe the audio, what we have discovered is that if Houston and the global board is to be believed, Hillsong NY was a dysfunctional mess.  Evidently Carl Lentz was an overbearing and narcissistic shepherd.  Sadly, Hillsong employees felt afraid to even speak to their pastor let alone challenge him.  We now know that this arrogant man ruled Hillsong NY like his own little fiefdom.

(Rick Moran – PJ Media)  Sometime in the next five years, the United States Navy will announce unmistakable, undeniable proof of the extraterrestrial origin of what they term “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP). The most recent report from the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, which is run out of the Office of Naval Intelligence, comes very close to making that determination public.

While many believe in alien visitation, the proof has been lacking except for eyewitness accounts. There also have been numerous reports of a government conspiracy to “hide the truth” about alien visitation…. Continue reading

Progressives Are No Longer Defenders of Free Expression

“[T]he First Amendment of the once freest nation in the world is comatose. This time its enemies are not hooded Klansmen seeking to intimidate African Americans or right-wing conspiracy theorists rooting out supposed communists….No, the culprits are progressives and leftist elites in publishing, the media, Silicon Valley, academia, entertainment and government.”

(Victor Davis Hanson – PJ Media)  A half-century ago, progressives used to push limitless free expression, blasting conservatives for their allegedly blinkered traditionalism. They boasted of obliterating once-normal boundaries in art, music and literature to allow nudity, profanity, sexuality and anti-American boilerplate.

Now? Continue reading

Ponzi Scheme Strikes Bethel Church in Redding CA

Churches tend to be susceptible to what experts call “affinity fraud,” a scam that spreads in a tight-knit community.

(J.C. Derrick – Roys Report) In 2009, a conman bilked members of Bethel Church in Redding, California, out of more than $650,000. Now, two shysters peddling a Ponzi scheme have reportedly struck the controversial megachurch again—this time defrauding investors of $35 million from 2015 to 2020.

The real problem

I have been posting here on my blog for the past several months about the evils of Critical Race Theory & Intersectionality and how many “Christian” leaders have corrupted their ministries by going full bore transforming their focus from Orthodox doctrines to include these non-Biblical, man-focused subjective non-truths. We have to wonder what would cause these people to do such a thing. Tom Ascol of Founders Ministries, one of the leaders against this evil Tweeted the following today: Continue reading

BREAKING: The Durham Probe is Now a Special Counsel Investigation

“The move by Barr ensures the investigation into government abuse during the 2016 presidential election and beyond will continue should former Vice President Joe Biden be inaugurated on January 20, 2021. Biden would have the ability to fire Durham, but given Democrats’ record of defending Special Counsel Robert Mueller, doing so would be a tough political move.”

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall)  Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a Special Counsel, elevating his current investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. The appointment took place shortly before the 2020 presidential election. Continue reading

Strange ‘Coincidences’ That Should Deeply Bother All Of Us As We Try To Put The Puzzle Pieces Together

“And it just so happens that those heavily blue urban population centers all seemed to stop counting votes at about the same time on the night of the election.  All of a sudden, voting came to a standstill in Milwaukee, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Atlanta.”

(Michael Snyder – the most important news)  Whether you are a Republican, a Democrat or someone that doesn’t identify with either major party, you should care deeply about the integrity of our elections.  Because if we don’t have elections that are free and fair, our system of government simply will not work….

The Eternal Purpose of Temptation

12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. James 1:12-16 (NASB) 

Temptation is an often-misunderstood subject. Many of us tend to think that temptation is sin, that temptation is the problem with living the Christian life. However, as Puritan Thomas Watson wrote, “The devil tempts, that he may deceive; but God suffers [i.e. allows] us to be tempted, to try us. Temptation is a trial of our sincerity.” Continue reading

Hell needs ‘reframing’ says The Bible Project co-founder

(John Lanagan – The Word Like Fire) “And if you’re familiar with the story, how it works, hell–or evil or sin, the various names it’s called in the Bible–is something that humans have created by our decision to seize autonomy from God.” –Tim Mackie, Heaven and Earth Q&R Transcript

And if you’re familiar with the story, how it works, hell–or evil or sin, the various names it’s called in the Bible–is something that humans have created by our decision to seize autonomy from God. (Tim Mackie, 32:01 in video below)

NAR Heretic Ché Ahn Says Jesus Endorsed his Book as ‘Most Important Book of the Hour’

In another book he penned, When Heaven Comes Down, “Apostle” Che Ahn links the birthing of all the restorationist movements from the New Order of the Latter Rain of 1948 to now.  Back in 1994 during what was known as the ‘Toronto Blessing,’ Ahn announced that God restored the office of Apostle: “The 1994 revival in Toronto restored the office of the apostle with the birth of many apostolic networks, including John and Carol Arnott’s Partners in Harvest, Rick Joyner’s Morning Star, Bill Johnson’s Global Legacy, Heidi and Rolland Baker’s Iris Ministries and or church’s own Harvest International Ministry.” Nothing could be further from the truth. So with this in mind, here’s Protestia’s piece on ravenous wolf “Apostle” Ché Ahn:

If you thought the Bible was the most “important book of the hour” – you guessed wrong, at least according to the head of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Ché Ahn, who said on his Facebook page that Jesus Christ appeared to his friend and fellow prophet James Goll and informed him that a book containing a series of essays from fellow NAR-ite heavy-hitters that he compiled is the most important book in the world, at least for now.

The book features essays by such “pillars of solid Biblical preaching” and “faithful exegetes” as Bill Johnson, James W. Goll, Lance Wallnau, John Arnott, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Heidi Baker, Lou Engle, C. Peter Wagner, and Jim Garlow. If you want the most extreme and excessive representations of the charismatic movement, short of John Crowder of “tokin’ the Holy Ghost and getting stoned in the spirit” fame, you found them.

The book contains essays like Bethel’s Bill Johnson waxing eloquent on “From Glory to Glory” and Lance Wallnau discussing “The 7 mountain mandate.” Each topic is addressed thoroughly and is “describes sensitively in Spirit-inspired chapters sure to stir your soul, ignite your calling, and fulfill your God-given destiny.”

Though Ché Ahn has done some good work in defying the government trying to shut his church down, his wild charismaticism and New Apostolic Reformation nonsense always shines through. In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that he declared that Micheal” knock em down” Brown was an “apostle” – a title which had him tickled pink and grinning like a fool for days on end.

Jesus never appeared to Goll, and the only thing he’d say about the book is to toss it in with the rest ala Acts 19 and count it among those worth fifty thousand drachmas.
