Worldview Weekend’s Commentary on Censorship of Christmas & Promotion of False Teachers

home_picWorldview Weekend Radio

Brannon’s guest is Chris Rosebrough. Topic: What is more offensive to you; secular companies that take Christ out of Christmas, or self-professing Christians promoting false teachers that are promoting a false Jesus and false gospel? American Family Association recently released their naughty and nice list of companies that do and do not acknowledge Christmas. However, is this really nothing more than straining at gnats while swallowing camels? AFA/AFR interviewed false teacher Heidi Baker this past year on their radio network and have worked with the likes of Lou Engle and the International House of Prayer. Should Christians be more concerned about secular companies taking Christ out of Christmas or self-professing Christian and pro-family groups giving credibility to people that have taken the Biblical Christ out of Christianity? Chris asked a very important question during this program—-how many people are going to enter hell for not saying “Merry Christmas”? None! How many will go to hell because they embraced a false Jesus and a false gospel proclaimed by false teachers? The answer is millions and millions. The “war on Christmas” by unbelievers should not be our ultimate concern compared to the war on the Biblical gospel and the Biblical Jesus by modern-day evangelicalism. Topic: Rick Warren makes the rounds of the secular media to promote the 10 year anniversary of his Purchase Driven Life book.

War on Consciousness Pt. 25 – The True Bible – Textus Receptus vs Codex Sinaiticus

Noise of Thunder

TARES AMONG THE WHEAT

“Tares Among the Wheat” will likely challenge what most scholars believe about Bible history, and the origins of the current wave of new translations that have flooded churches around the world.

In the 19th century, a revolution in biblical scholarship was prompted by the publication of a never-before-seen manuscript called Codex Sinaiticus.  The work was allegedly “discovered” by a German scholar named Constantine von Tischendorf, who declared this to be the oldest Bible ever found.  Tischendorf said he found the work in a rubbish basket at a Greek Orthodox monastery in Egypt.  While many in the academic world did not fully believe his story, they were willing to accept his claims about the antiquity of the codex.  But shortly after his discovery was published, a renowned Greek paleographer named Constantine Simonides came forward and declared that the manuscript was no ancient text at all, but had been created by him in 1840.  The controversy surrounding these events is, perhaps, the most incredible untold chapter in Bible history.  It involves Jesuits, the Pope, a high-minded German, a committee of Anglo Romanists, and a mysterious Greek patriot.  It is a story that (while quite true and well documented) a vast majority of modern academics know nothing about.  Yet the subject matter dramatically impacts the world of biblical scholarship, even to this present hour. Most of what today’s scholars believe about MS. evidence is based on the events of this era, and the footnotes in your Bible are the proof of it.

To learn about the history of the Bible, during the last 2,ooo years, watch the video below entitled “Lamp in the Dark – The Untold History of the Bible.

The King James, and the New King James, version was translated with the Textus Receptus. The modern translations have been translated with Codex Sinaiticus, such as the NIV, NLT, NASB, RSV, ESV, and others. However, Codex Sinaiticus, which was “discovered in 1844“, has been reported to contain thousands of variants in the text, and even is missing certain passages, such as Mark 16:9-20,  John 7:53 through John 8:11,  and 1John 5:7. These significant differences in Codex Sinaiticus has caused many, who have accepted it as the oldest text, to no longer believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, which then causes them to contradict the following passages: Psalm 12:6-7, John 17:17, Romans 3:4, 2Samuel 22:31, Isaiah 40:8. At about the same time, Rome declared the “pope to be infallible“; thus putting the pope above Scripture. To learn more about the details concerning contextual criticism of the Textus Receptus (the text which is based upon the churches traditional manuscripts that have been accepted throughout the church age), and Codex Sinaiticus (the manuscript which was discovered in the 19th century, and was also claimed to be the oldest and most reliable biblical text), watch the video below entitled “Is the Textus Receptus Older than Westcott & Hort Text?”

The major claims, made by Westcott and Hort, is that Codex Sinaiticus is older, and more reliable, because the text is missing passages of Scripture that cannot be found in manuscripts written before the 4th century. However, this is not true. For examples of how various disputed passages of Scripture can, in fact, be found quoted in the writings of Church elders before the 4th century, see the list of disputed passages below.

Psalm 12

6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Proverbs 30

5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

John 17

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

Romans 3

4    God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar

2Samuel 22

31    As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

Isaiah 40

8    The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Scripture must be contended for, because if God’s word is not completely true, correct, and preserved throughout the church age, then we cannot contend for the faith against heresy. Also, neglecting to obey God’s command to contend for the faith, will cause heresy to eat away at the church like a cancer.

Jude 1

3    Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4    For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

The New Christianity Pt. 10 – Setting the Stage for “The False Prophet”

The “new Christianity” is paving the way for the false prophet of Revelation 13 by way of the contributions of the Charismatic movement, the “latter rain movement”, “the manifestation of the sons of God movement, and the “new apostolic reformation movement”, all of which have their origins in the 2nd century “Montanist” movement, and also seem to be influenced by the writings of “Jane Lead“, whose writings can be found on “JaneLead.org“. The contribution of these apocalyptic , charismatic, movements are doctrines, and end-times prophecies, that mirror Jane Lead’s 1679 prophecy which is stated below:

Prophecy of the Coming Kingdom

The coming of additional revelation from God to special believers:

6.  In this gradual opening of the mystery of the redemption in Christ, consists the unsearchable wisdom of God, which may continually reveal new and fresh things to the worthy searchers.

These special believers will proclaim their message from God throughout the world, and will it be followed by miraculous signs, so that they will be recognized as the true church.

10. The proclamation of this testimony of the Kingdom will be by the sound of a trumpet, to alarm all the nations of the earth, and more especially all the professions of Christianity, because it shall be attended with the power of acting all wonders.

11. So there shall be an authoritative decision given forth immediately from Christ, to the putting an end to all controversies concerning the true Church.

These special believers will be proven to be from God by way of the name of their God written on them as a sign of their authority, which will also separate them from false believers.

12. This decision will be by the actual sealing of the Members of this Church with the name of God, giving them a commission to act by virtue of the same. This new name will distinguish them from the SevenThousand Names of Babylon.

This “true church” will be brought forth by a virgin, just as Christ was brought forth by the power of the Holy Spirit through a virgin.

17. FOR—as a Virgin Woman brought forth Christ after the Flesh, so likewise a Virgin Woman is designed by GOD to bring forth the firstborn after the Spirit, who shall be filled with the Holy Ghost and with Power.

18. The VIRGIN that is hereto designed must be of a pure spirit, also of a clarified body, and all over Impregnated with the Holy Ghost.

This elite church, which bears the mark of their God, will perform signs and wonders so great that the whole world will be converted by them. Also, because of its divine power, this church will be given the status of the priesthood, the prophetic, and of royalty, and will rule the world.

19. This Church so brought forth, and signed with the Mark of the Divine Name, shall be adorned with miraculous gifts and powers beyond whatever yet has been.

20. Hereby all nations shall be brought into it, so that it shall be the Catholic Church, according to the genuine sense and utmost latitude of the word.

21. It must be an anointed Church, by which it may truly bear the name of Christ or Christian, being with Him anointed to the Priestly, Prophetical, and Royal Dignity.

This church will not be divided by denominations, but it will be unified with complete uniformity. Also, this church will be completely free from the presence of sin, and it must be, because Christ will not, return until the church has reached the state of sinless perfection.

22. Thus there will be no bonds or impositions: But the Holy Unction among these new born spirits will be all in all.

23. This Catholic and Anointed Church must be perfectly holy, as Christ Himself is holy; so that it may worthily bear the name of The Lord our Holiness and The Lord our Righteousness.

24. Until there be such a Church made ready upon the earth, so holy, so catholic, and so anointed, that is without all spot or wrinkle, and that is adorned as a Bride to meet her Bridegroom, Christ will not personally descend to solemnize this Marriage, and present the same to His Father.

25. But when the Bridal Church shall be made ready, and thoroughly cleansed and sanctified from every spot of defilement through the blood of Christ, then He will no longer delay His coming in person.

Everyone who is not apart of this sinless church will be rejected by God, so that the true church will be revealed to the world as faultless.

26. There is not this day visible upon the earth any holy, catholic, anointed and Bridal Church; all the churches and professions being found light when weighed in the balance. Therefore they are rejected by the Supreme Judge.

27. This rejection and condemnation will be for this end: that out of them a New and Glorious Church may rise up, in whom no fault shall be found, as He found none with the Philadelphian. (Rev. 3)

Through the great signs of its spiritual leaders, who Christ himself will operate through, this elite church will defeat Satan, and convert the whole world.

31. Then will it go on to multiply and propagate itself Universally; not only to the number of the Firstborn (which is 144,000) but also to the Remnant of the Seed: against whom the Dragon shall make continual war.

32. Therefore the Spirit of David shall most eminently revive in this Church, and most specially in some or other Selected Members of it, as the Blossoming Root which is to precede the day of Solomon in the blessed Millennium. These will have might given them to overcome the Dragon and his angels (even as David and his army overcame Goliath and the Philistines).

33. This will be the standing up of Michael the Great Prince of Israel; and will be as the appearance of Moses against Pharaoh, in order that the Chosen Seed may be brought out from their hard servitude.

34. Egypt is a figure of this servile creation, under which each one of Abraham’s Seed groans. But a Prophet and Prophetical Generation will the most High yet raise up, who shall deliver His people—by mere force of spiritual arms.

35. For which—there must be raised up certain head powers to bear the first shock, who are to be persons of great eminence and favor with the Trinity, whose dread and fear shall fall upon all nations (visible and invisible) because of the mighty acting power of the Holy Ghost which shall rest upon them.

36. For before Christ’s own distinct and personal appearance, He will first appear and represent Himself in some chosen vessel or vessels, anointed to be leaders unto the rest, and to bring them into the Promised Land—the new creation state.

Not only will this elite church reach sinless perfection, but it will become immortal, and through the power of their immortal bodies, they will restore the earth.

41. FOR—nothing must remain in this pure Church but what can remain in the fire. For as a Refiner will the Lord purify the Sons and Daughters, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto Him an offering in perfect righteousness.

42. Though the operation of the Holy Spirit in these waiters may for a long time contend with many infirmities and evils, yet if continually watched and kept warm, at the last it cannot but work out a perfect cure, and bring about a full and total redemption from the earth.

43. There may be some at present living, who may come to be thus fully and totally redeemed, having another body put on them, that is—one after the Priestly Order.

44. This Priestly Anointed body will render them impregnable, and qualify them for that high degree of spiritual government to which they are called.

45. THEREFORE it is required on our part to suffer the Spirit of Burning, to do upon us the refining work, fanning us with His Fiery Breath, and searching every part within us, until all is pure and clear, and we thereby arrive to this fixed body, from which the wonders are to flow out.

46. This body will be the sealing character of the Philadelphian Church.

53. There must be a manifestation of the Spirit, with which to edify and raise up this Church, suitable to the Resurrection of Christ.

54. This manifestation must be in the absoluteness of power, as well as in the beauty of holiness, so bringing down Heaven upon earth, and representing here the New Jerusalem state.

55. In order to which, spirits that are thus purely begotten and born of God can ascend to the New Jerusalem above, where their Head reigns in great majesty, and there receive such a mission, by which they shall be empowered to bring down to this world its transcendent glory.

To learn about the various, heretical, charismatic, groups that mirror Jane Leads end-times prophecy, to this day, click on the link entitled “The Roots & Fruits of the New Apostolic Reformation“.

Jane lead’s prophecy does not, at all, reflect Christ’s description of the end-times. Instead of Christ foretelling the coming of an elite church, with great signs and wonders that will convert, and restore, the world, he describes world-wide deception, followed by great signs, to deceive the whole world.

Mark 13

21    And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22    For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23    But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

Also, Jesus did not describe the church reaching a state of sinless perfection before he returns. Instead, he described great lying wonders being perform so that the people who refused to repent, and believe the gospel, would be deceived by the antichrist.

2Thessaloians 2

8    And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9    Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10    And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11    And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12    That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
This is what Jesus said about those who want to see signs and wonders:

Matthew 16

4    A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign

In the great tribulation the world will fall prey to wolves in sheep’s clothing; particularly, “the false prophet”, who will convert the whole world into becoming worshipers of the antichrist, and these deceived people are the ones who will take the name of a false god on themselves. Also, Christ will not come into the world because his church is so powerful, but the antichrist will take over the world because of the power of the false prophet, who deceives the whole world with lying signs and wonders, and persecutes the true followers of God, because they are forbidden from worshiping, or taking the name of, another god.

Revelation 13

11    And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12    And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13    And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14    And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15    And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16    And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17    And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18    Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Therefore, those who follow the teachings of Jane Lead are following a Satanic movement. Furthermore, Jane Lead’s teachings, such as her teachings that God’s presence is in all things, reflects the teachings of the Theosophical Society, and the Rosicrucians, both of which are Satan worshiping cults, of the “Luciferian category“, which believes that God is really the devil, and that Lucifer is the true god, and savior of mankind.

Religious Intolerance & Blasphemy laws Pt. 13 – Pakistani Court Ordered Police to Withdraw Blasphemy Charges Against Christian Girl

 

NYTimes.Com

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A Pakistani court ordered the police to withdraw blasphemy charges against a Christian teenager on Tuesday, lawyers said, bringing an end to a contentious case that had gripped the country and sown fear in its Christian minority population.

The girl, Rimsha Masih, who comes from an impoverished family of sweepers, was arrested in August after Muslim accusers said she had been holding a burned copy of the Noorani Qaida, a religious textbook used to teach the Koran to children.

Relatives and human rights workers have said that the girl, 14, has Down syndrome and should therefore be exempt from the blasphemy laws.

On Tuesday, Justice Iqbal Hameed ur Rahman, who heads the Islamabad High Court, stated in his judgment that there was no evidence for the charges against Ms. Masih. In his 15-page judgment, he urged extreme caution in matters related to blasphemy and criticized the practice of fake blasphemy accusations against non-Muslims.

“The case against Rimsha Masih is finished,” said Tahir Naveed Chaudhry, one of her lawyers. “Justice has been served.”

War on Consciousness Pt. 23 – Franklin Graham Expresses Shock over Mormon Cult Status on Website

 

ChristianPost.Com

A month after the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association removed an article describing Mormonism as a “cult” from its website, ministry head Franklin Graham clarified on Wednesday that he was unaware of the article’s existence.

The evangelist told CNN that he did not write the article and that he was “shocked” to find the article on the BGEA website.

“We have 10,000 pages and I don’t write the 10,000 pages. Other people have written it. There was a discussion as to what a cult was and they (the article) had a definition of a cult and then they gave some examples and when I found out there were examples they took them off. But I was shocked that we even had that on there,” Graham said, as he described the “cult” reference as name-calling.

“If I want to win a person to Christ, how can I call that person a name? That’s what shocked me, that we were calling people names.”

The article was categorized under BGEA’s “Looking for Answers” section where the question “What is a cult?” was posed. It defined a cult as “any group which teaches doctrines or beliefs that deviate from the biblical message of the Christian faith. It is very important that we recognize cults and avoid any involvement with them. Cults often teach some Christian truth mixed with error, which may be difficult to detect.”

Providing examples of “cults,” it listed Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons, the Unification Church, Unitarians, Spiritists, and Scientologists.

Even with the election now over, Franklin Graham stated that the “cult” article will never be posted again.

The new evangelical leaders are adamant about not being offensive to anyone, just as Franklin Graham is. They no longer want to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and God’s coming judgment (John 16:8, Acts 17:30-31). They are not fit to preach the gospel, yet their poor example has become the norm. This compromise has effeminized the gospel, and has produced a false Christ in the minds of people around the world. The Holy Spirit did not lead these new evangelicals to make these serious errors in judgment. On the contrary, These leaders are not serving God, but themselves, and they are lovers, not of God, but of this world. The causes which they contend for are the social causes of this world, and not the gospel of Christ, which has condemned this world, because of its sin.
God’s word still speaks the truth.
Galatians 1
8    But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9    As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10    For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
James 2
1    My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
1Timothy 6
13    I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14    That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Timothy 4
1    I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2    Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4    And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5    But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
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.

Authors of Confusion Pt. 22 – Kay Arthur

The following article, by Apprising Ministries, is about Kay Aurthur of “Precepts Ministries International”. It describes how the well known Bible teacher has been repeatedly compromising the gospel by partnering with false teachers, such as mystics, Word of Faith heretics, and others, and has refused to stop after being approached by a fellow ministry partner. To read the article, click on the link entitled “ABOUT KAY ARTHUR OF PRECEPT MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL“.

The problem with the Christian, mainstream, media is that most of the well known Christian leaders have been engaging in practices that true Christians are not able to follow, because they are sinful, such as the ecumenical practices of Kay Arthur, and most other Christian leaders. This bad example teaches believers to practice blatant disobedience as though their example were not, at all, inappropriate. Nevertheless, no matter how popular the mainstream media makes these poor Christian leaders, their sinful example has already been condemned by God.

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.

2Corinthians 6

14    Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15    And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16    And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17    Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18    And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Galatians 1

8    But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9    As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
10    For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

John 15

15    If ye love me, keep my commandments.

1John 5

3    For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

1Corinthians 16

22    If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!

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.

The IHOP Murder Case

The International House of Prayer (IHOP) is no stranger to the media, as seen in this CBN interview entitled “IHOP Revival: Kansas City“.  It is also no stranger to controversy. Nevertheless, the recent events has depicted the IHOP cult in a much darker light, as seen in the article below.

Kansas City Star

A clearer picture began to emerge Thursday about Tyler Deaton’s role at the International House of Prayer.

Deaton’s wife, Bethany Ann Deaton, was found dead in a parked van Oct. 30 at Longview Lake. Authorities initially believed she killed herself, but a week ago a man told police that he had killed her at the order of Tyler Deaton, who has been described as the charismatic leader of a religious sect.

The man who confessed to the killing, Micah Moore, a member of Deaton’s group, has been charged with first-degree murder. Deaton has not been charged. Prosecutors have acknowledged that he is under investigation.

Deaton’s group came from Texas to be part of the International House of Prayer, based in south Kansas City.

On Monday, Allen Hood, the president of the International House of Prayer, said in a statement that Deaton led his group independently and operated under a “veil of secrecy,” though members attended a school operated by IHOP. The statement also made reference to the group’s “disturbing religious practices.”

But a handout and website posting shows that as of Nov. 4 — five days after Bethany Deaton’s death — Tyler Deaton was a “division coordinator” on the administrative team of International House of Prayer friendship groups. The position is unpaid, according to another person who holds the same position and attended three recent meetings with Deaton.

IHOP is part of a religious movement called “The New Apostolic Reformation”. It is an experienced based religion that is more “new age” than Christian, because its doctrine and practices built upon Roman Catholic doctrine, and mysticism.
