The Need for Reformation Against LGBT "Christian" Churches

Image
It's very easy to criticize Roman Catholicism for the charges of sodomy done by priests raping boys. However, it's probably very easy to forget that LGBT churches are now on the rise and have infiltrated evangelical churches. I heard of Alabama Baptist Church having the issue of a female pastor performing a lesbian wedding. It would be stupid to keep raising up the issue of homosexual priests and nuns but not to target homosexual pastors and female church authorities. Make no mistake - LGBT churches are on the rise and the acronym means Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender. All these are an abomination before God. Martin Luther's trip to Rome revealed all the sins in it. I remembered reading the now out-of-print book "Babylon Mystery Religion" by Ralph Woodrow (which he should revise without references to the faulty "The Two Babylons" by Alexander Hislop) talking about Luther's trip to Rome. Luther witnessed the worst sexual immoralities such as priests ...

Not Becoming Like the World in Order to Reach the World for Christ

I remembered reading the book "Hard to Believe" by John F. MacArthur where it presents the hard truths about the Gospel. Why is the Gospel unpopular? Just reading Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 reveal hard truths that can't be easily swallowed. The idea that the sinless Son of God our Lord Jesus Christ would die for man's sins by crucifixion is repugnant for both Jews and Gentiles. The very word "cross" from what I heard was even a taboo word. People who were crucified were considered to be the lowest of the low. The idea that an innocent man how much more the sinless Son of God would allow Himself to be crucified was a baffling idea. The very idea that He died because mankind isn't basically good is even worse. The very message of Christ on the cross and conquering it because you're a lost sinner is abhorrent. It's because people tend to believe that they're basically good or that they're good for Heaven. The Bible as the Book of the Law crush...

Easy "Christianity" Hates Expository Preaching

Image
Although the article I found about  Andy Stanley as he's guilty of trashing expository preaching  was last  May 8, 2015 -  I found it to be an interesting read. Here's an answer that Stanley gave that can make any sound Christian (whether pastor or regular church member) dizzy just reading it: Guys that preach verse-by-verse through books of the Bible– that is just cheating. It’s cheating because that would be easy, first of all. That isn’t how you grow people. No one in the Scripture modeled that. There’s not one example of that. It's really amazing at how Stanley can give that really stupid statement that it's supposedly cheating. People who are against expository preaching should be asked why they even think that it's "cheating". Don't tell me any teacher who expands on subject matters in just any subject in education like history, math, and science are "cheating"? On the contrary, verse by verse preaching is not easy. Takin...

Jesus Didn't Die and Rise From the Dead So You Can Sin All You Want

As the Lenten season came to a close today - I'm afraid that many people today will go back to their worldly living. I remembered the cycle that says you sin from Monday to Friday, go to confession on a Saturday, attend Mass on Sunday and the cycle goes on and on. It's no wonder why Matthew 7:21-23 exposes the true nature of false converts as workers of wickedness. A believer in Jesus Christ may not be perfect, they will struggle with sin but they will never enjoy sin for long because they aren't unsaved. Hebrews 12:5-7 says that God will chastise those He loves. There's a true saying that says, "Only false converts are unsaved enough to think that they have a license to sin. True converts don't want to live the same life anymore!" Yet, you have some people have the awful sin cycles of being all "righteous" during Christmas and the Lenten season but when Christmas ends and Easter Sunday arrives - they go back to their sinful lifestyles! This is...

A Deadly Contagious Plague of Easy Believist Baptist Churches

Image
It never stops to bother me up to no end that sometimes the biggest problem in the Baptist churches are Baptists themselves. As preposterous as it sounds but it's true. There's the recent plague of easy believism. I thought of how often salvation ends up like this, "Just pray a prayer and you're saved." It's no wonder why the late Dr. Leonard Ravenhill announced that the sinner's prayer has sent more people into Hell than the bars of America. It's because many people have become false converts. Now, I don't deny some people have said the sinner's prayer or were converted from a sinner's prayer evangelism. However, it's not because of the sinner's prayer evangelism but it's because the pastor preaches hard truths and would confront false converts about the possibility of false conversion. I was just reminded of some person I ran into years ago. He claimed he was a Baptist and seems to act like he's some kind of "Jesu...

Pastors for Profit Are Teaching the Heretical Doctrine of Balaam

Image
As I was doing some Bible reading today - I felt that I should write about the very dangerous doctrine of Balaam. The influence of Balaam goes beyond Numbers 22-24 which talk about the prophet for profit. He knew that Israel was God's chosen nation yet he chose to go against it for the sake of money. Balak means devastator and Balaam means not of the people. As a soothsayer and an unsaved man - it's obvious that he would care more about money than God. The New Testament has these to say about Balaam: 2 Peter 2:15  Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam, the son of Bosor (Beor) who loved the wages of unrighteousness ;  Jude 1:11  Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam and perished in the gainsaying of Core (Korah).   Revelation 2:14  But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam , who ta...

If Your Jesus Approves of Same Sex Marriage and Abortion Then Your Jesus Isn't the Real Jesus

The trend of the rise of pro-homosexual "Christian" churches or where you have that incident where Alabama "Baptist" Church dared to have a female minister officiate a wedding between two women in their assembly. It was disgusting. The abomination happened not because of Sola Scriptura but because they are ignoring what the Bible says in full about marriage. Worse, Jimmy Carter who claims to be a Baptist would even spew out such dangerous blasphemy that Jesus would approve of homosexuality and abortion. Does he even read his Bible? If so, he's just a false convert who's lived up to his nineties but Hell will be more than hot enough for this degenerate old man unless he repents! Did Jesus come to abolish the Law? On the contrary - He came to fulfill the Law since no one can fully keep it (James 2:10-11). Here's what He said to His disciples: Matthew 5:17-19  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I Am not come to destroy, but...

The Deadly Heresy of Preaching a Christ Who is Savior But Not Lord

Image
It's really find it crazy how a heresy that says you can receive Jesus Christ as your Savior but submitting to Him as Lord is completely optional. That idea left me blank-faced because of the fact that Romans 10:9 says this one truth: 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. Did you read that? Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ. It's really similar to confessing that Jesus is Lord. If your Jesus is not Lord then you are not saved. I find the idea that Jesus should just be my personal Savior but not my personal Lord and Savior. That would make every Christian the personal servant of their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus is Lord yet why do so many want to deny His Lordship? The word Kurious in Greek means "supreme in authority" so can you even think of accepting someone who is Kurious as Savior without being Lord? That kind of idea is i...
