(The Dissenter) In a decision that undoubtedly exposes the theological and moral lapses within certain corners of modern evangelicalism, JD Greear, the highly influential pastor of Summit Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, recently hosted Durham County District Attorney Satana Deberry for what was termed a “family discussion” on racial issues and faith. Let’s be clear: Greear’s decision to give a platform to Deberry, an openly lesbian and pro-abortion activist, is nothing short of a blasphemous betrayal of biblical Christianity and dereliction of his pastoral duties.

Demon Possession and the Christian Bible
“Many Protestants have failed to remember that this is not merely a Roman Catholic thing. We do need to understand that demon possession does in fact still happen, even in our circles. But why does it and what can we as believers do about it in the present day and age?”
(Benjamin Glaser) It was fitting that while my sons and I were watching football on Saturday afternoon that an advertisement came on promoting a new series of films in the Exorcist family. The original movie was a sensation when it first came out. Based upon a book with a similar name it has entered into public consciousness in such a way that there is no need to explain the story. We all know it. It is interesting to me at least that as anti-supernatural as our culture has become over the past two-hundred years, and really before that in the writings of Rousseau and others, it still is scared out of its wits vis-a-vis the idea of demon possession. Is the reason for that because deep down we all know its real? Continue reading
Rep. Comer: Joe Biden’s Brother Paid Him $200K in 2018
(Solange Reyner – Newsmax) House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., says the panel has obtained bank records showing James and Sara Biden paid Joe Biden $200,000 in the form of a personal check in March, 2018, claiming the document shows proof of the Biden family’s influence-peddling scheme.
The document “raises new questions about how President Biden personally benefited from his family’s shady influence peddling of his name and their access to him,” Comer said in a video released Friday on the Oversight website. Continue reading
Effectual and Fruitful in the Knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christ
8 For if these things are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 1:8 (LSB)
The Doctrine of Imputation is a wonderful blessing for the Christian. Christ’s Righteousness and perfect obedience to the Law were both imputed to the account of every believer at their justification. That means, in God’s sight, each and every one of us in Christ are as blameless in his eyes as Christ himself. I was asked on Thanksgiving before our meal to “briefly” state that for which I was most thankful…. Continue reading
Pope Francis’ Revolution: The Synod on Synodality
“The Christian faith is not supposed to be a democratic smorgasbord, let alone a phony democracy imitating the democratic centralism of communist dictatorships. However, many of the Synod participants, Pope Francis included, have been steeped in the Marxist-Leninist “Liberation Theology” of the post-Vatican II era and are thus comfortable with this new aberrant orientation.”
(William F. Jasper – The New American) Polygamy? Blessing homosexual unions? “Radical inclusion” of LGBT people? Holy Communion for those living in adulterous relationships? Ordination of women? Is the Roman Catholic Church really about to flip on these and related issues? Are Pope Francis and his “Synod on Synodality” bent (many faithful Catholics say “hell bent”) on thoroughly overturning two millennia of the Catholic Church’s teaching on moral doctrine?… Continue reading
Rosaria Butterfield Blasts Andy Stanley’s ‘God-Forsaken Conference,’ LGBTQ Teaching
“The Trans child is our modern, evil age totem. You know like the boar’s head you see on a stick and everybody marches behind it, and that’s what Andy Stanley and his church and all those people look like to me. You’re all marching behind this totem of the trans child and you are doing damage.”
(Protestia) Prominent speaker and theologian Rosaria Butterfield went on a polemical rampage against Andy Stanley’s infamously gay-affirming ‘Unconditional Conference’, joining Josh Daws on the The Great Awokening podcast to make her distaste known. Continue reading
President Biden Gaslights Americans in Oval Office Address on Ukraine, Israel
“The last time Gaza got its hands on gazillions of other people’s dollars it didn’t provide the basic needs of the imbeciles who voted for Hamas back in 2006, but instead was used to build an underground labyrinth of tunnels terrorists can escape to after attacking Israelis.”
(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Why did President Joe Biden travel to Israel to meet with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu? So he could deliver an Oval Office address on Thursday night to beg Americans and a leaderless House of Representatives for more money for Ukraine. Continue reading
Ferguson II – Media Spread Hamas Hospital Hoax to Create More Violence
“The corporate media’s goal is mayhem, specifically against the West. Western media institutions have been infested with Wokesters who believe war and chaos are the road to the power they crave, the power to organize society in their fascistic image.”
(John Nolte – Breitbart) To spread hate, violence, chaos, and war, the corporate media spread the Hamas Hospital Hoax even though the corporate media knew it was a hoax.
Only an idiot believes different.
“Evil.” “Corrupt.” “Wicked.” “Dishonest.” Many words accurately describe the corporate media. Two words no one can use are “stupid” or “gullible.” Continue reading
Does Iran Realize Its Own Growing Danger?
“Iran’s other proxy Hezbollah still issues blood-curdling threats to launch missiles. But it privately knows if it hits Israel with them, Beirut will resemble something far worse than its rubble of 2006 during the last Middle East war.”
(Victor Davis Hanson – American Greatness) Iran understandably believes it is riding quite high.
It is flush with cash. It hints it almost has the bomb—and might use it soon.
The Iranians are bragging about their new tyrannical allies like Russia and China. Continue reading
Scholastic’s Cowering Compromise is Still a Loss for Conservatives and Christians
“Books promoting agendas like homosexuality and transgenderism and pushing narratives of systemic racism aren’t just presenting an alternate viewpoint. Make no mistake, these activists aim to indoctrinate our children into a worldview devoid of sanity and devoid of God.”
(The Dissenter) The renowned children’s book publisher, Scholastic, recently released a statement regarding the selection of books offered at its ubiquitous book fairs, a fixture in American elementary schools for decades. Scholastic’s feeble attempt at compromise misses the mark, and here’s why. The well-known children’s book publisher finds itself trapped. On one side, activists demand that young kids be exposed to ideologically charged books. Continue reading
Academia Needs to Go Extinct
We’ve all seen them cheering on the slaughter and hating the Jews – a lowlight was a Cornell associate professor of history who found the mass rape/murder spree to be “exhilarating.”
(Kurt Schlichter – Townhall) Crises clarify what is true, and what is indisputably true during this crisis is that academia, as currently constituted, is a poisonous cancer infecting our society. Like many other institutions, academia has gone from respect to contempt in the eyes of normal people, if not our garbage ruling class…. Continue reading
Inside The Chosen’s Prosperity Gospel Sermons
“The Chosen views itself as something that can be preached from, and it’s clear that The Chosen is meant to placate a seeker-friendly audience rather than adhere to the biblical accounts.”
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Chosen has had a troubling year, despite being the most profitable TV show marketed to Christians. Earlier this year, The Chosen showcased the pride flag in their behind the scenes promotional content. The Chosen has since doubled down on that. Dallas Jenkins would claim that The Chosen is not a ministry. This, actuality, is a lie. Continue reading
The Very Idea of the Dove Awards is Anti-Christian and Unbiblical
Dove Awards ’23 Facebook promo photo
“Flashy performances and red-carpet interviews fill the ceremony, each artist jostling for a slice of the limelight.”
(The Dissenter) For nearly six decades, the Dove Awards have claimed a central stage in the world of Christian music, lauding artists and performers for their accomplishments. Originating in 1969 as an initiative by the Gospel Music Association, the Dove Awards have closely mirrored secular events like the Grammy Awards in presentation and scope. Even its association with Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN)—a network that has faced its own litany of controversies, including the promulgation of heresies like the prosperity gospel—raises questions about the ceremony’s doctrinal grounding. Continue reading
High-ranking Uniformed Public Health Service officer blows whistle on Rachel Levine’s pronoun tyranny
(Ben Zeisloft – The Sentinel) A high-ranking officer in the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, the uniformed service branch in which Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine serves as an Admiral, is one of several service members pursuing legal action as the entity imposes a gender identity policy that would force them to contradict their religious beliefs about sexuality, a development exclusively revealed to The Sentinel.
Service members in the Uniformed Public Health Service were sent an email last week informing them that “all employees should be addressed by the names and pronouns they use to describe themselves” and that “employees can wear clothing and use restrooms in accordance with their gender identity.”… Continue reading
Halloween Hell? Greg Locke Hosting Mass Exorcism for Children
(Protestia) Greg Locke is hosting his annual Halloween Burn, inviting folks to come far and wide to burn anything related to the occult in massive bonfire set up on church property. Unlike last year, however, this Burn will include a “mass deliverance” event for children possessed and afflicted by demons who need them to be cast out.
Readers of Protestia will recognize Locke as the controversial Tennessee pastor who is elbows deep in exorcisms and deliverance ministry after several witches supposedly harassed his church… Continue reading
Disintegration of the United States
“We need to halt this invasion. If we don’t halt it we may not survive this. That’s how much of a threat this is.”
(Mary Dowling) Col. Douglas Macgregor spoke about the crisis at the border in the interview below, and he didn’t mince words. We are watching the “disintegration of the United States,” he said. He lamented the fact that no one in leadership is doing anything about it.
“We’re watching the disintegration of the United States,” Macgregor said. “This is a recipe for our destruction, that’s obvious…. Continue reading
Struggling with Repentance
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death? Romans 7:24 (LSB)
All genuine Christians have one thing in common—they are imperfect people who, no matter how much they desire to be Christlike, will struggle with the paradox of being new creations slowly becoming conformed to the image of their Saviour while being mired in a body of death that wants to be ruled by their old sin nature. How often do we cry out to God to release us from this prison? What good can it do for us to struggle so with the demands of the flesh? Continue reading
Sympathy for the Devil
“Don’t expect a corporate “awakening” because it will not happen. Woke will continue to rule as innocent people continue to die.”
(Bill O’Reilly) Here’s something interesting. The cancel culture has turned against the radical left in America. Super ironic because the progressive movement, cheered on by the corporate media, has skillfully used social elimination via cancel culture to destroy its opposition.
But with the mass murder perpetrated by the terror group Hamas, the progressive Israel haters are on the run. Banishment looms for any American who is pro-Hamas. Even socialist Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez is frightened. Continue reading
Matt Chandler and Other Southern Baptist Leaders Have Enabled and Empowered Islamic Radicals
“The article from Matt Chandler’s church promotes an approach towards Muslims that, while claiming to be grounded in Christian love and openness, is nothing more than an act of submission to radical Islam. It stresses entering into relationships with Muslims with a level of deference that stifles the Christian message…”
(The Dissenter) Remember several years ago when concerns were raised about how evangelical leaders, particularly those associated with ACTS 29 and The Village Church, were enabling radical Islamic groups? There has been a growing trend of interfaith dialogues facilitated by influential evangelical pastors like Matt Chandler. Continue reading
Israelis Hail a Good Girl With a Gun
“When it’s all over, this woman will receive the Israel Prize. The story of her heroism is a story that will go down in Israeli lore for generations. Inbal is the reason there is one kibbutz in the entire surrounding area that remains unharmed — Nir Am.”
(Douglas Andrews – The Patriot Post) It’s probably not much of an exaggeration to say that every adult Israeli citizen knows the story of Jonathan Netanyahu. And perhaps one day, many years from now, every Israeli will also know the story of Inbar Lieberman. Continue reading
The Boniface Option Gives Practical Advice To Fight Trashworld
(Ray Fava – Evangelical Dark Web) The Christian Nationalist movement is growing rapidly in Evangelicalism with the success of multiple books by its proponents and a cottage industry for its adversaries. Andrew Isker builds on his previous book, cowritten by Andrew Torba, and further focuses on practical applications for fighting the dystopian world around us. Andrew Isker’s The Boniface Option is accurately subtitled “a strategy for Christian Counter-Offensive in a Post-Christian Nation.”
Isker’s format is a systematic breakdown of specific issues that deconstruct humanity and provides specific solutions to these articulated issues…. Continue reading
A Living Sacrifice
1 Therefore, I urge you brothers through the compassions of God to present your bodies as living, holy sacrifices, well pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service. 2 And do not be conformed to this age but be transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may discern the will of God, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12:1-2 translated from the NA28 Greek text to English) Read Romans 12:1-2 (LSB) on the site.
Works righteousness is the default religion of man. However, God’s ways are not man’s ways. Neither are His thoughts man’s thoughts. His ways are higher than man’s. Continue reading
Dr. names ‘the greatest perpetrator of misinformation’ during Covid
(Mary Dowling) Johns Hopkins University professor Dr. Marty Makary told the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic during its first hearing on Tuesday, “The greatest perpetrator of misinformation during the pandemic has been the United States government.”
He listed examples.
-
- COVID was spread through surface transmission.
- That vaccinated immunity was far greater than natural immunity.
Untwisting the Bible – Part IV: Matthew 7:7, God Is Not a Cosmic Vending Machine
“This is not a one-time transaction, but a lifetime of seeking God’s will, of being so in sync with God that we naturally ask for the things that matter to Him.”
(The Dissenter) Matthew 7:7 has often been appropriated by prosperity gospel charlatans in a way that has led to some of the most egregious distortions of biblical teaching. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you,” says the verse. In the mouths of these bible twisters, this becomes a blank check, an unhindered gateway to personal wealth, fame, and earthly pleasures…. Continue reading
Joe Biden Potentially Kept Sensitive Docs About Family Business Involvement with Foreign Countries
(Wendell Husebo – Breitbart) President Joe Biden potentially retained sensitive documents about the Biden family business’s involvement with foreign countries, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) suggested Monday in a letter to special counsel Robert Hur.
Hur, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, is investigating Biden for the mishandling of classified material; this relates to his possession of documents from when he was vice president. As part of his probe, he reportedly interviewed the president last week for two hours…. Continue reading
