Divisions and separations are most objectionable in religion. They weaken the cause of true Christianity ...But before we blame people for them, we must be careful that we lay the blame where it is deserved. False doctrine and heresy are even worse than schism. If people separate themselves from teaching that is positively false and unscriptural, they ought to be praised rather than reproved. In such cases separation is a virtue and not a sin. J.C. RYLE
In the spirit of the Reformation, this section has been dedicated to warning you
about people and ideas that are at odds with the teaching of the Bible. The fact
that they appear means that we don't support them. We will not question their eternal
destiny, but their teaching is definitely not scriptural. To add someone to the
list, write us.
Benny Hinn Ministries Do we really need to say anything about Benny? Well, what we do say amongst ourselves is probably best left there, if you know what I mean.
"When you say I am a Christian, you are saying I am a messiah in Hebrew." Oops! I mean French, or Japanese, maybe its English?
Critique on Benny: On Doctrine-
Joyce Meyer Ministries Mrs. Meyer is a great speaker and is often quite humorous. Unfortunately, she is often heretical in her teaching and her business ethics are under investigation. "You've got to pray the blood!!!" What?
Critique on Joyce:
The Preacher Who Doesn't Tell It Like It Is The Truth Twisting And Tall Tales Of Joyce Meyer by Paul R. Belli and G. Richard Fisher
Joel Osteen Ministries Lots of fluff but no meat. Where's Christ in his messages? He seems to be eerily absent.
"I find today that people are not looking for theology.” Didn't the Bible say that somewhere in reference to our depravity?
A critique on Joel: Joel Osteen, the Megachurch, and the Mini-
Charles Finney He began the Revivalism movement and was a Pelagian. He, in effect, lied to become a Presbyterian minister and later when he found out he disagreed with their doctrines, used his position to attack the church. Today, he is held up as a great leader of the church. No wonder why we have problems.
A critique of Finney: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Fred Phelps He is the pastor of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, KS. You probably know them better for their slogan, "God Hates Fags." Instead of displaying the love of Christ and following the command to "love thy enemies" they have decided to annihilate them. Yes, homosexuality is wrong, but are we to treat them any different from the rest of godless humanity? Vengeance belongs to the Lord alone. We could link to his website but we don't want to be under investigation by the FBI.
Angelic Revelations of Divine Truth These people claim to have received new teachings from Jesus. You know there is a problem when one of the first things they say is, "temporarily set aside questions about where the writings come from..." Why? Because it came from mediums using automatic writing. Sorry, I can't quite get past that. I guess we're just closed minded.
Jesus Seminar Started by Robert W. Funk in 1985, this group has led the way for liberal "Christianity". "The ultimate goal of this website is that of the Jesus Seminar itself: to bring the quest of the historical Jesus of Nazareth to the center of a global forum." Unfortunately, everything they do is based on their own opinions rather than fact. It is interesting that they laud the degrees of their fellows but nowhere mention their character or if they are believers in Christ. Doesn't Romans say that man by their unrighteousness suppress the truth? Case in point!
Michael J Rood Mr. Rood is a modern day judaizer. He claims that almost all of the church's practices are pagan and that we need to practice the civil law of the Torah. There goes church on Sunday! Of course, he claims that his teachings alone are right and that he is qualified to make these claims. Take a look at the pictures of him on the website. Growing your beard out, wearing robes and blowing a shofar must make you a real Messianic Jew compared to those pagan Gentile (?) ones that wear ties and khaki pants to church.
David J. Stewart This guy's website makes you nauseous just looking at the jumble
of text and pics. The content has the same effect. He is KJV only, hates the Roman
Catholic Church with zeal, and strongly anti-
"The threat of a nuclear disaster is imminent. The New World Order is here! The stage is being set for the antichrist. Mankind is destined for total destruction!"
"This website will not be here forever. The incarnation of the Beast is coming. Save information on your hard drive!"
The Religious Society of Friends/Quakers No, its not just the cute guy on the oatmeal container. The Friends having been mixing Gnostic mysticism with Christianity for the past several centuries. Founded by George Fox who "discovered" that there is the Divine Light within all men that just needs to be awakened, the Friends deny the importance of the Cross and basically teach panentheism. Unfortunately, their theology has made some major inroads into evangelical Christianity in the past several years and is one of the main theologies the Emmergent Church draws from.
Creflo Dollar "Making a mark that cannot be erased" is their slogan and is an invitation
of judgment if what he is saying is wrong. Unfortunately, for Mr. Dollar, much of
what he says in unscriptural. The description of salvation on their site is man-
Kenneth Hagin Sr. and Jr. Though now deceased, the legacy of Hagin still lives in his family. Called the Father of the Word Faith movement this Positive Confession heresy has claimed many preachers and lay people in its wake.
"You will never receive anything from God beyond the words you speak."
What about the free gift of God? Well, you have to speak that too; it's called the sinners prayer.
Roman Catholic Church It only makes sense to include the problem that caused the Reformation in the first place. With its history of indulgences, false teachings of purgatory, Mariolotry, the vicar of Christ, and etc the RCC is an apostate church. The greatest sin of all is their works based righteousness which continues to infect all denominations today.
Kenneth Copeland This guy and his cohort Hagin are the key leaders of the Word Faith
Movement (heresy). Among his false teachings we find: God has a physical body,
God lives on a planet, Adam and Eve were Gods just like God, and God lost control
of the earth. We could go on but then just look at his site for the rest of his
make-
