Prayer is about a humble encounter with God the Father with whom the believer is in relationship as child utterly dependent. It is a conversation between Parent and child. It is speaking and listening.
It is NOT about some hazy self actualization. And poetry has nothing to do with prayer. God doesn’t need us to read poetry to him. What could be more artificial than that.
This is what happens when theological ignoramuses talk about theological things.
Today, SkyWatch TV posted a program in which End Times author and SkyWatch TV CEO Tom Horn suggested that Hillary Clinton is the “Whore of Babylon” who was conceived during a ritual carried out in 1946 by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Horn claimed that stolen emails posted by Wikileaks revealed that Clinton had filled her 2016 presidential campaign with “occultists” who believe her to be the biblical Whore of Babylon who will usher in the Antichrist.
Citing a ritual that took place in 1946 called “The Babylon Working” in which Hubbard and others allegedly attempted to conceive a goddess through “ritual sex magic,” Horn claimed that Clinton may have been the result of that effort “to bring through, into our reality, the archetype divine feminine, the Whore of Babylon.”
“She’ll grow up, she’ll become an influential worldwide-known feminist who will help give rise to the Antichrist,” Horn said. “They believed that that was Hillary Clinton.”
You Pentebabbleists are lunatics. Brain dead lunatics. You have zero exegetical skill and zero theological knowledge. You are the dilettantes of the dilettantes.
As though the Old Testament has no meaning (or cannot be understood properly) without the New Testament when the truth is, the New Testament cannot be properly understood without the Old Testament.
Nope. You aren’t the first to notice something because you’re a brilliant exegete; you’re first to notice something that no one else ever has because you’re insane.
Again, the New Testament needs the Old to be understood; but the Old doesn’t need the New. So just let the Old Testament be the Word of God in its own right, ok? Bloody Marcionites.
Dispensationalism is so utterly bonkers-
Note to self: it’s a bad idea to roam around at Amazon.com. Look for specific titles, or you’ll just weep.
Stop distorting the Bible to make a buck.
The male version of Nadia Bolz-Weber has outdone himself…
Lifeway has a new movie based ‘bible study’, for your small group. Because studying the Bible itself is just so hard and without a ‘popular’ hook you just can’t get people interested in doing it…
I guess when your theology stinks you have to find some way to refashion the faith to match your wishes…
I guess ‘Pastor’ is too penis-centric for Nadia.
Oh, and the Christian faith isn’t about God pulling us out of the graves we dig for ourselves. It’s about redemption from sin and deliverance from its eternal consequences. But don’t expect the pastrix to talk about sin. That concept doesn’t exist in her universalist universe.
In another example demonstrating that Pat Robertson believes in persecuting non-Christians and indoctrinating children, the televangelist openly suggested that parents should beat their kids until they respect Christian beliefs.
During yet another shameful episode of the 700 Club, which runs on Disney-owned channel ABC Family, Robertson received an email from a woman who claimed that her grandson disrespects their Christian faith when they visit their daughter on Christmas and chose not to visit this past year.
“We declined going to our daughter’s house on Christmas this year because there is always an argument, hard feelings etc.,” viewer Karen wrote.
“One grandchild comes high on marijuana, cursing and challenging our faith. I correct him and have told my daughter to ask him to respect our beliefs, but he keeps it up. Our daughter says she is a Christian but will drink too much and offend her daughter and her husband. Were we wrong to not to attend another Christmas that leaves us upset or someone angry? I have shared my beliefs many times with them and am ridiculed by this grandson and son-in-law.”
Robertson’s immediate solution? Beat the child until he respects Christianity.
“Somebody take that kid to the woodshed and let him understand the blessings of discipline,” Robertson advised before predicting that the kid would end up in prison if a strong male figure didn’t start beating him right away.
“He needs a strong male figure. He’s going to wind up in a correctional institution, and the next thing you know, he’s going to be doing hard time in some prison. And then he would wish he wasn’t such a smart, you know, wise guy. Because he’ll be disciplined in a way that he’ll never forget in some prison… He needs discipline in the worst possible way.”
Robertson is not a Christian. Nothing he says is Scriptural. He is a deceiver, a liar, and a false teacher. Those who support him support evil and his tv station is a tool of evil.
This is yet more evidence that Robertson is no Christian and pentebabbleists aren’t either.
You can’t make this nonsense up.
One of my greatest sources of unintentional comedy is Mark Taylor, otherwise known as the “Firefighter Prophet.” Among his bizarre prophecies and conspiracy theories is a recurring theme: that Democrats (and former President Obama) are using weather control technology to obstruct President Trump’s agenda.
Earlier this month, Taylor claimed Hurricane Florence was created by liberals to cover up mass voter fraud in North Carolina. In June, he said liberals were planning to create hurricanes to suppress the midterm election turn out. Now, he’s saying that Hurricane Michael, which is currently bearing down on Florida, was artificially created by “scared” anti-Trump forces in “retaliation” for Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.
“Does anyone else think it’s strange that Justice K is sworn in and we have a major hurricane inbound?” Taylor tweeted this Tuesday. “DS scared? They should be. Retaliation? Absolutely. We will not be intimidated! Warriors arise, time to go to work! You know what to do.”
Pentebabbleists shouldn’t be allowed within 500 miles of the Bible and 10,000 miles of theology. They can’t understand Scripture and they don’t know what theology is.
Some days it just doesn’t pay to look at twitter.
This is not how baptism works.
‘Streamline’ ‘church’ has streamlined baptism to a base farce and is no church.
‘winners chapel international’? Good lord, why not just name it ‘prosperity gospel heretics international’. At least that would be the truth.
And why does Texas have so many of these nutbag pentebabbleist prosperity lunatics? Is it the heat?
Pentecostal leaders have warned their congregation that “darkness” will spread across Australia and Christians will be persecuted if Scott Morrison does not win the next election.
Others have been told that Morrison’s rise to power was a “miracle of God” that answered three days of prayer and fasting. They have been told that Morrison has made a public stand for Christian freedoms, and has promised to keep doing so, so God intervened to ensure he beat the home affairs minister, Peter Dutton, in the Liberal leadership spill.
Videos posted to YouTube show how Pentecostal and evangelical religious communities are reacting to the rise of Morrison as prime minister.
Last Sunday, pastor Adam F Thompson from Voice of Fire Ministries and Adrian Beale from Everrest Ministries told a congregation of Hope City Church that Morrison’s elevation to power was divinely inspired.
Thompson, who says he can interpret dreams and that supernatural signs and manifestations accompany his ministry, said he’d received a message from God that Morrison and the Coalition must win the election.
“The Lord woke me up at 4.30am this morning,” Thompson told the Hope City Church congregation on Sunday, in a video he asked to be recorded.
“Scott Morrison, he’s a born-again Christian, he’s probably one of the first ever born-again prime ministers, but it’s not time to celebrate at the moment.
“This is a crucial time right now … In the next six months it’s time for the body of Christ [the Christian church] to put its differences aside … and come together and agree that Jesus is the Messiah and start praying together and calling it in and praying for our prime minister right now, and for our government.
Lunatics. Unmoored, unhinged, unscriptural, unchristian lunatics. The only thing worse than a Pentebabbleist is…. well, no, there is nothing. The get it all wrong. Every doctrine. All of them.
MacArthur’s statement fails to take the Gospel in its fullness seriously. It fails to understand the implications of the Gospel. And it’s greatest theological failing is that it fails to show a willingness to make any use at all of Matthew 25:31ff.
In short, MacArthur and his co-signatories lack theological acumen and exegetical knowledge. Accordingly, no theological statement from them or signed by them can be taken seriously as either a Christian statement of faith or a theological declaration that should be adopted by anyone.
It is heresy.
