Understand that the world is under the sway of  Satan, the god of this world, and that this world’s system is marked by God for destruction.

1John 5
19    And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Revelation 12
10    And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11    And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12    Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

2Corinthians 4
3    But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4    In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5    For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6    For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

The only hope, for the people of this world, is to turn away from sin, and to believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ, because the reign of wickedness will not last forever. God will judge this world in righteousness, and everyone who loved it.

1John 2
15    Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16    For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17    And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Acts 17
26    And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27    That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28    For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29    Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30    And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31    Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

John 8
12    Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
23    And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24    I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
31    Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32    And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33    They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34    Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35    And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36    If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

John 6
35    And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
36    But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37    All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38    For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39    And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40    And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Romans 10
6    But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
7    Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
8    But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10    For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11    For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12    For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13    For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Child Molesting Gay Foster Parents & the Social Workers who Fear them

Mail Online –

A homosexual foster couple were left free to sexually abuse vulnerable boys in their care because social workers feared being accused of discrimination if they investigated complaints, an inquiry concluded yesterday.

Craig Faunch and Ian Wathey were one of the first homosexual couples in the country to be officially approved as foster parents.

They looked after 18 children in only 15 months.

Religious Intolerance & Blasphemy laws Pt. 6 – UK Churches & Same-Sex Ceremonies

The Christian Post –

As the debate over same-sex marriage continues in the U.K., leading conservative policy makers are once again highlighting the need for some protections for churches. There are concerns that churches may be punished for not consenting to gay marriage ceremonies in their churches should a law be passed redefining marriage.

The Church of England, the Roman Catholic church, and a host of prominent conservative and religious leaders are continuing to advocate the need for certain legal protections to prevent those religious institutions from being forced to oversee same-sex ceremonies by the European Court of Human Rights.

Authors of Confusion Pt. 16 – Charles Stanley Pt. 2 – Stanley & Friends

The first article on Charles Stanley was a short expose on his heretical teaching, and his promotion of Roman Catholic mysticism. This second article will further discuss his heretical view of salvation, and his longstanding practice of ecumenism.

Dr. Stanley’s ecumenical work can be traced back to 1979 with the “Moral Majority“, which he helped to start with the ecumenical Jerry Falwell, a Melkite Greek, Roman, Catholic Church, a false prophet (Pat Robertson), and even included a Southern Baptist, who was also a Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of freemasons in North Carolina.(to be fair, Dr. Stanley might not have been aware that the Southern Baptist was a luciferian)  For more information on the ecumenism of the Moral Majority, click on the link entitled “Catholics and the Moral Majority“.

Dr. Stanley has also been a ministry partner of TBN for more than 15 years, and still is to this day. TBN is a major religious television network, and its programs are aired all over the world. However, TBN isn’t a force for the good, but for the kingdom of darkness, because it is more than just ecumenical, concerning its partners. What makes this religious television network so much worse than the Moral Majority is its promotion of some of the worse false teachers, and their heresies, and false gospels. Even the TBN founder, Paul Crouch, affirms the heresies of the network’s ministry partners, such the “little gods heresy“, “the name it claim it heresy“, the “false prosperity & health gospel“, and many more.

The problem with being apart of this religious television network is that it claims to be a Christian network, when it clearly isn’t, and for a well respected minister, such as Charles Stanley, to partner with such a false ministry, which is leading millions to Hell every year (while taking the donations of the deceived followers/victims), is that he is giving creditability to a false Christianity that exists to deceive people, and lead to them Hell. In this way, Dr. Stanley is partaking in all of the evils of TBN and their partners, because he has been, for many years, making himself a willing participant of this apostasy (2John 1:8-11).

Young naive preachers may get involved with TBN, and even stay a partner with the network for some time, but as time goes by, they will hear of the horrendous sins of TBN, and will have to realize that God is not the power behind TBN, but Satan. At that point, every preacher would have to make a decision, which is to separate, and be holy, or to remain, and loose their eternal reward, and even their souls (2John 1:8-11, Matthew 16:24-27, Matthew 7:21-23, James 4:17).

After more than 15 years, Dr. Stanley has decided to remain a loyal ministry partner of the disgraced TBN.

Dr. Stanley does not stand alone in this sin, because TBN has many, well respected ministry partners, such as the late Adrian Rodgers, Way of the Master Ministries, Charles Swindoll, Franklin Graham, Jack Van Impe, Jay Sekulow, and many more. Therefore, it would be wrong to only make mention of Charles Stanley. To mention TBN is to bring into view every untrustworthy televangelist, who dared to partner with TBN, and to remain, even after years of being informed of the corruption of the network, and after ignoring all of the clear warnings from Scripture about the danger, and prohibition, of bad influences (1Corinthians 15:33-34, 1Timothy 5:21-22, 1Timothy 6:3-12, 2Timothy 3:1-1-7, 2John 1:8-11, Hebrews 12:14). The disobedience of these preachers have led millions into a wrong understanding of what it means to live godly in a corrupt world. By walking hand-in-hand with evil, they have led millions of Christians to believe that they, too, can walk hand-in-hand with evil, and still enter into eternal life.

This matter of abiding in evil, while claiming to be a follower of Christ, then brings into view the antinomian heresy of Dr. Stanley, which teaches people the following lies:

“…a Christian who at no point in his entire life bore any eternal fruit. And yet his salvation is never jeopardized. There is never a question about where he will spent eternity“

John 15
1    I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2    Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3    Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4    Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5    I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6    If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

“Salvation, or justification, or whatever you wish to call it – stands independently of faith. Consequently, God does not require a constant attitude of faith in order to be saved — only an act of faith.“

Matthew 24
13    But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Hebrews 3
12    Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
13    But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
14    For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
15    While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Hebrews 6
4    For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5    And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6    If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
7    For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
8    But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

“You can’t sin and live like the devil down here and get by with it even as a believer. The Bible says you will lose your reward but you’ll be saved so as by fire. You won’t lose your salvation, but there’s a whole lot to lose, brother, by sinful living.” ~ from the book “Eternal Security”

This statement is a result of confusing one kind of judgment with another. One type of Judgment is when believers, who served Christ, are judge according to their works. Some of the works that the various believers have done in Christ’s name will be tried by God’s holy fire, and stand its test, and be proven to be like gold, silver and precious stone. Some believers works won’t be approved of, and will not stand the test of God’s fire, and will simply burn up, yet the believer will be saved, even though his/her works will be burned up by God’s disapproval (Luke 12:45-48, 1Corinthians 2:10-15, 2John 1:8-11, 2Timothy 4:6-8). The distinction is the ministry works that will be judged, and not the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

Another judgment is the separating of the goats and the sheep. This judgment has to do with salvation and eternal punishment. Many people, who thought that they were serving God, will be rejected, and Jesus will tell them that he never knew them. They will be cast out into outer darkness, eternal fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, forever and ever (Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 24:46-51, Matthew chp. 25, Revelation 20:11-15, Hebrews 6:1-8, Galatians 5:16-21, Revelation 21:7-8). This is the judgment seat of Christ, where those who did not know Christ, nor did they obey him, will be judged, and those who do know him, and bore the fruit of the Holy Spirit, will be received with joy.

Dr. Stanley is right in saying that a believer will never lose their salvation, because every believer is born of God, and cannot live a life of sin, because God’s eternal seed is living in them (1John 3:3-7, 1Peter 21:25, John 6:37-40, Philippians 1:6, Romans 8:29-30). However, this also means that Dr. Stanley is wrong, because he claims that Christians can live like the devil, bear no fruit of the Holy Spirit, and not endure in faith until the end, and still enter the kingdom of God. In saying this, Dr. Stanley has turned the grace of God into lawlessness (Romans 6:1-3, Jude 1:3-4). Just as adding man-made laws to the gospel, ruins the whole gospel, Dr. Stanley’s subtraction of holiness from the gospel ruins the whole gospel, and to believe it is to fall away from the faith, because it is a major heresy (Galatians 5:7-9, Galatians 5:19-21, Ephesians 5:1-7, Hebrews 12:14, Galatians 1:8-9).

In light of the many compromised televangelist, and well known preachers, and their ecumenical practices, it would be best to refrain from learning about Christ, and the gospel, by these media personalities. Instead, it would be best to simply abide in Christ; the word of God, and stay in close fellowship with a doctrinally sound local church. This is because people have a tendency to idolize their favorite celebrities. Even Christian celebrities are idolized, and followed without testing what they teach against the word of God to be sure that their teachings are true. The proof is that Dr. Stanley, Billy Graham, and many others have been compromising the gospel, and millions still have not caught on, but have followed these people into serious error that will damn their souls for eternity.

Teachers, pastors, evangelists and others, are given by Christ for the purpose of getting the church grounded in their knowledge of the gospel so that the church will not be deceived by the many false teachers in the world (Ephesians 4:11-14). But God did not give them to us so that we would become followers of them, and take their names, and subscribe to their doctrine (1Corinthians 1:10-17). The Holy Spirit is the primary teacher in the church, and he is the one who guides us into all truth, so that we would no longer need fallible human being to teach us.

1John 2
26    These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27    But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
28    And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

Hebrews 8
10    For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11    And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

John 15
3    Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4    Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5    I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6    If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Authors of Confusion Pt. 16 – Charles Stanley

What makes Charles Stanley an author of confusion are his teachings that promotes “easy believism”, and his promotion of heretical teachings and practices, such as Roman Catholic mysticism. The two offenses are listed below.

Excerpt from “Eternal Security”:

“It certainly does not mean hell in the parable [Matthew 22]. How could a master throw a slave into hell? This phrase appears in a similar parable in chapter 22. In that parable an unwanted guest is bound and thrown out of a banquet hall into the “outer darkness” (see Matt. 22:13); it clearly refers to being thrown outside a building into the dark.”

Stanley’s unbiblical teaching on eternal security turns the biblical doctrine of eternal security into the lewdness of antinomian heresy. Stanley’s teaching denies the passages of Scripture that states that every person who does not abide in Christ will be plucked out , spewed out, rejected, denied ever to have known Christ, thrown into the fire, and burned (John 15:6, Matthew 25:6-12, Matthew 7:15-23, Hebrews 6:4-8, Revelation 3:15-16).

Stanley has also promoted teachers of Roman Catholic Mysticism, such as Johnathan Wilson-Hartgrove, who is a Benedictine monk. For more information click on the links entitled “The Craft of Stability“, and “IN TOUCH MAGAZINE OF CHARLES STANLEY PROMOTING CONTEMPLATIVE NEW MONASTICISM“.

Stanley has also been accused of being out of touch with the gospel, because of his ministry’s endorsement of false converts, who are clearly living in open rebellion against God, such as claiming to be a born again Christian, while married to a spouse of the same gender. For more information, click on the link entitled “Letter to Charles Stanley: Is In Touch Getting Out-of-Touch With the True Gospel?“

Believers are prohibited by Scripture from partnering with heretics, as Stanley has done (2John 1:8-11, 2Corinthians 6:14-18, Hebrews 12:14). This is bad fruit, and deception. Scripture’s command regarding people like Charles Stanley, who make a practice of violating major doctrines concerning the gospel, is…

Romans 16
17    Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18    For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19    For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

Matthew 7
15    Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16    Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17    Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18    A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19    Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20    Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Deuteronomy 13
1    If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2    And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3    Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4    Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

2John 1
8    Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
9    Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10    If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11    For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit & The Counterfeits

It is important to understand the purpose of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in order to discern the difference between the true gifts of the Spirit, and the false gifts of the spirit of antichrist. This is an important matter because the spirit of antichrist is leading people away from the gospel, and polluting the souls of many with idolatry and witchcraft; all while claiming to be the work of the Holy Spirit. The purpose of this article is to explain the purpose of the spiritual gifts, and to make the distinction of the false spiritual gifts.

The use of the gifts throughout history is subject to much dispute, because various church elders have reported the presence of spiritual gifts in the church. However, Roman Catholics makes the same claim, such as St. Augustine and St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Therefore, claims of spiritual gifts being used throughout church history requires extensive detective work, because the claims of the presence of spiritual gifts by false believers can only amount to the affirmation of the false gifts of the spirit of antichrist.

Here is a short list of reports of the claims of spiritual gifts throughout the church age:

The spiritual gifts were used to establish the 1st century church (Hebrews 2:1-4, Acts 2:1-43, Acts chp 3, Acts 5:1-15, Acts 13:6-12, …etc.). Now that the church has been established through the use of these gifts, the result, of these gifts, is the New Testament (the written word). Therefore, it would be folly to turn back to the gifts that were used, by the will of God, to give us the very thing that grounds us in our knowledge of God and the gospel, which is the “word of God”. Therefore, the church should not seek spiritual gifts, but the study, meditation upon, and obedience to, the word of God (John 15:3-6, Psalm chp. 1, Psalm 119:1-18). This is abiding in the word of God, and it leads to living under the control of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16-25, John 8:30-32).

After the 1st century, the use of counterfeit gifts became popular by false churches. These were cults, and their heresies were the same heresies that we hear being taught today by the same kind of charismatic cults, such as the New Apostolic Reformation. For about the last 1900 years these kind of cults emerged, and reemerged, and have tried to claim to be the true Christian faith, or the “complete” Christianity. One of these ancient heretical movements was called “Montanism“. The link provides an idea of what this movement was like. For more information, click on the link entitled “Why Were the Montanists Condemned?“

The foundation that modern charismatics use to build their heresy of practicing spiritual gifts is the claim that after salvation is the need for a second blessing from God, that comes be either a private mystical experience, or by the laying on of the hands of a charismatic leader, such as a modern day apostles, prophet, pastor…etc. This claim contradicts the word of God which teaches that believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise upon believing the gospel, and that anyone who does not have the Holy Spirit does not belong to God, but is still a child of the devil.

The accounts within the book of Acts describes the fulfillment of the promise of the Holy Spirit, which was prophesied by Joel, John the Baptist, and Jesus (Joel 2:28-29, Matthew 3:11, Acts 1:5). The manifestation of the Holy Spirit, which was prophesying, and speaking in tongues, made the fulfillment of the prophecy evident to the Jews. Now that the doctrine of “the Holy Spirit is for every believer” has been established, their is no more need for these signs to be repeated (Acts 2:14-18, Acts 10:37-48). Now the command to the hearer is simply “repent and believe the gospel, and you will receive the Holy Spirit”. Therefore, every believer has the Holy Spirit upon believing the gospel, and there is no need for a second blessing (Ephesians 1:11-14, Ephesians 2:1-6, John 3:3-8, John 1:12-13). To teach that their is a need for a second blessing pollutes the gospel message, and sets the foundation for the spirit of antichrist to build its false gospel alongside the true gospel (Galatians 5:7-10).

The gifts of the Holy Spirit must provide sound doctrine, and inspire the church to obey the word of God, and it must never teach people to disregard, or disobey, Scripture, and it should not lead the church into speaking falsely about God, or the gospel (1Corinthians 12:1-13, 1John 2:26-29, 1John 4:1-6). However, cults do all of these things, and, through false spiritual gifts, lead people away from the gospel. The true gifts of the Holy Spirit must lead people to the gospel, which is what the word of God does when it is taught.

The occasional occurrence of miracles is not proof that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are just as active in the church as they were in the first century. Rather, a common occurrence of the spiritual gifts is proof of their continuance.

For the sake of fairness, one may also find the gift of the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, and the gift of faith, at work in various, even non-charismatic, believers, who may not even be aware that this is their gift. But for the most part, the majority of the spiritual gifts have not been active in the church throughout the church age, as they were in the 1st century. This does not at all mean that God cannot cause the gifts of the Spirit to be in operation within the church. Neither does this mean that God will never bring some of these gifts into use again. On the contrary, they will be made abundantly evident during the great tribulation, but not throughout the “pretribulation” church age (Revelation 11:3-6).

1Corithians 12
7    But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8    For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9    To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10    To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues

Believers need to see that Scripture was the goal of the spiritual gifts, and that adherence to Scripture grounds believers in the faith, and matures them, because it is truth (John 17:17), it is perfect (1Corinthians 13:8-12), it is the mirror for the souls of men (James 1:21-25), It is the “more sure word of prophecy” to be trusted above any experience (2Peter 1:18-21), and it is able to make believers wise in our knowledge of the gospel, and it is profitable for doctrine, testing, correction, instruction in godly living, so that God’s people will be matured, and equipped, for every good work (2Timothy 14:17).

John 17
17    Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

1Corinthians 13
8    Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9    For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10    But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11    When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12    For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

James 1
21    Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22    But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23    For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24    For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25    But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

2Peter 2
18    And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19    We have also a more sure word of prophecy; where unto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
20    Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
21    For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2Timothy 2
14    But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15    And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17    That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Those who taught, within the last hundred years, that the gifts of the Holy Spirit should be just as active in the church today as they were in the 1st century, were heretics and occultists. They have brought about a false Christianity that is currently leading the masses into believing false gospels, and into being controlled by the spirit of antichrist.

War on Consciousness Pt. 9 – Kid’s Pole Dancing

CTV News –

A dance and fitness studio in Duncan, B.C. has sparked controversy after introducing a pole dancing class for young children.

Twisted Grip Dance and Fitness is offering the weekend class, Little Spinners, to boys and girls of all ages, owner Kristy Craig said.

Craig said she introduced the class due to demand from existing clients, and so far three girls and one boy have registered for classes, which start on Sept. 22. Her youngest student is just five years old and the oldest is about 12 years old.

Little Spinners will teach similar moves to those offered in adult sessions at the studio, including classes called Sexy Flexy, Pole Fit, Babes on Bikes and Bunny Bootcamp, Craig said.

A gym in Britain that offers pole dancing classes for girls, which appear closer to a gymnastics routine than a strip club number, posted photos on Facebook. Naturally, this has provoked “outrage” about the sexualization of young girls and online safety.

The two hour ‘beginners’ sessions’ are described by the organisers as a ‘great way to keep fit and have lots of fun at the same time.’

What is the reason for this plague of insane immorality?

The refusal to worship the true God, and to obey the gospel of his Son, Jesus Christ.
Romans 1
16    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17    For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18    For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19    Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20    For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21    Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22    Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23    And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24    Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25    Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26    For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27    And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28    And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29    Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30    Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31    Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32    Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The solution is to turn away from this wicked world, which God will judge in righteousness by his Son Jesus Christ. Also, God commands us to believe the gospel of Christ in order to be saved from the judgment to come.
Acts 17
26    And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27    That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28    For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29    Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30    And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31    Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Stop loving this sinful world, and turn to Jesus Christ.
