Pastor at Episcopal Church Says Divorce and Re-Marry is OK.............."rules change" He Says

Where in the Bible does it say the Word of God changes with the times? Has not God said he "God hates divorce" (Malachi 2:16) And even when divorce is allowed under very strict terms it is still a broken vow given before God. Sometimes for better or worse becomes so bad that due to adultery or non believing spouse it is allowed but so frowned upon that it comes with strict rules.

Christ puts it this way...." But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Luke 16:18: Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery.

It does not get any clearer than that.

However Reverend Chuck Kramer  of the Hyde Park Episcopal Church thinks differently. He says in The Hudson Valley News (week of 10/9/13) that we now allow divorce and remarry......rules change!

Sorry Pastor no such verse in my Bible..................................

One more example of false teaching from a mainline denomination

Christmas Just A Pagan Tradition Gone Wild

Early Christians wanted to convert pagansbut they were also fascinated by their traditions.

"Christians of that period are quite interested in paganism," he said. "It's obviously something they think is a bad thing, but it's also something they think is worth remembering. It's what their ancestors did."

The Christmas tree is a 17th-century German invention the tinsel garland is actually a depiction of serpents coiling around the tree and the beautiful glass balls actually are derived from shrunken head traditions

Today's Santa Claus is really descendant of Medieval England's Father Christmas, who was not distributing gifts but just a pagan spirit flying through mid winter skies.

Despite the spreading of The Gospels and Faith pagan festivals were slow to become what we know as Christmas centuries. The Bible gives no date as  to when Jesus was born, which wasn't a problem for early Christians so they could just add His birth to any Pagan ritual if they so chose Puritans hated Christmas  even early Protestants considered it paganism

 Christmas and other saints' feats  days  so important to the PAGAN Catholic  church were banned. In New England it was illegal to celebrate Christmas

in the 1600's,. Forget people saying, "Happy holidays" or  "Merry Christmas," he said.

If your church puts up a Christmas tree it is time to find a new church!

Science: Biggest False Teacher Sets End of World Date

It is not only false teachers who hold degrees in theology but also science itself we need to worry about.
Scientists have somehow come up with a date the world will end. This accordring to Testing.com a techie sci-fi blog of sorts.

And of course it goes contrary to the words of Christs who said...No man knows the day....I come like a thief in the night.

The "expert" on such theory is Andrew Rushby and an article published in the fiction publication Astrobiology.

So there you have it false teachers are everywhere. At least Science attempts to show proof of their beliefs unlike the Michael Hales' of the Worldwide Supernatural Ministry kind who have yet to show me their dead man rising as they pull in to their false realm once biblically  solid churches and pastors

Blessing of The Animals....Another Modern Christian False Teaching

Pastor at our church last night brought up the fact that churches are holding animal blessing ceremonies while the world is on the way to hell..............................

By the way animals have no souls.

The Catholic church rich in idol worship promotes animal blessing.

Another mislead website godtellsus.com uses the Old Testament laws of clean and unclean food to further the cause of animal welfare.

So many seem to forget that the OT was a way to live for the Jews who had not tasted freedom in generations. OT laws have no bearing on Gentiles. 

Chew it Well and Spit Out The Bones Is Not a Safe Way To Learn God's Word

God's word is like meat and meant to fill.
the soul. Leave the bones of the demons to the dogs

Suppose your pastor commented on a sermon, broadcast or other program that contained some controversial doctrine like this: "Ya gotta chew it up well and anything that does not agree is like spitting out the bones from a piece of meat. You gotta get to the meat and throw the bones to the dog". 

At first such reasoning sounds good. Many lessons in life can be worked out this way by finding out what works best for you. Some of these situations may include the best way to drive to Florida, the interstate which is fast, or the more scenic back roads. Both have their benefits and drawbacks. You weigh the good and spit out the bad.

However even the thought of putting bones in your mouth when it comes to God's word should make you shudder. 

Would you even think of listening to an apostate speaker like a Mormon, Jehova's Witness or some New Age sorcerer in the first place?

Speak It? What Happened to PRAY IT?

If you think you can speak your wishes into being
instead praying for God's will then you are
simply The Sorcerer's Apprentice 

A common twist in modern Christianity involves your personal experience being shared on Sundays. Some call this Christianity Lite. More about you less about God. Yes we are all to have a personal experience with God during the week but Sunday is not meant to be the place to share your personal experience of the past seven days. Sundays, or the weekly go to meeting day, are to be focused on God not on you. The "this is what God did for me this week" reports take the focus away from God and direct it toward the individual who has the best experience to report. Week after week it is usually the same individuals "sharing" what happened to them last week. 

The danger of the same individuals "sharing", a term I hate by the way, week after week is they become the focus not God. Secondly and perhaps is an even broader effect on those who have nothing to share. Those with little or nothing to share or even those who have a good experience can be overshadowed by the individual(s) who always seem to have a good week.

Then there is the issue of those who always have a bad week and report to the church their Job like existence. Both the WOE is me and WOW is me syndrome can  be just a attention seeking behavior. A moment to claim the spotlight in front of a crowd. If you cannot out do the WOW is me individual, who every week seems to rank right up there with Elisha, then do the end around and prey on the sympathetic nerves to garner attention.

Now let's move on to the one's who champion their spiritual warfare with the "you gotta speak it, you have to claim it." The speak it crowd comes from the angle of, in a nut shell, your existence and experience in the Christian life is solely based on your words. They go so far as to say that your words are power. If you speak it you become it. And the really out there fringes of the speak it crowd say your words can actually make others turn into what you are saying. Again, yes to a point. Words can hurt and words can lift up. At the end of the day though it is up to the one hearing those words and how God works in their how they react not the speaker.

To think your words alone are power is sorcery.

What happened to the command to pray not say?

Even then, when you pray, it is to be asked for in God's will not yours.

Instead of Laughing Out Loud We Should Be Crying Out Loud

Very scary performance of UNholy Laughter. Click
to see for yourself

One of the biggest signs you are in the midst of a false teacher are bouts of uncontrollable laughter. There is no scriptural basis for acting like a drunken fool in church through laughing, fainting or convulsing backwards though acts 2:13 is often used by Rodney Howard-Browne and John Arnott proponents of turning church services into a comedy routine.

Ephesians 5:18 is another  verse commonly taken out of context by Laughing Revival advocates encap­sulates Paul’s admonition that we should “not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. They claim however that being drunk in the spirit is God's ordained answer to alcohol...yeah.

Paul urges being filled with the spirit...........not being in a trance or drunken stupor. "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” are what is read just a few verses beyond.

As for convulsions and falling bacwards while drunk in the spirit  the new manifestations of the Spirit that we see today are I feel actually works of the flesh. Gal.5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith................no mention of holy drunkenness. These skits have the Holy Spirit doing what it has never done before starting with Benny Hinn violently pushing people over who resisted his advances. The fact is that feelings, nor experiences are to be a true test to validate the Holy Spirit operates in such manners.

"Symptoms" are the feeling of electricity or heat.   The same descriptions are common of occult manifestations as well as Mormonism.The Bible is rather silent on the matter of feelings manifesting from the Holy Spirit.

If you see someone falling fall over in church call 911 or the prayer line. Either way they need your help.................

How Can Michael Hale Produce Good Fruit from a Bad Foundation (Vine)?

I heard a pastor say at Sunday morning service in regards to The Global School of Supernatural Ministry that you "need to look at what comes out of it" and then described the results as "good fruit from a bad foundation." To clarify and to make my point fruit cannot come from foundations only from roots or trees of course. Matthew 7:15-20 says good fruit can only come from healthy trees. So anything appearing to be good fruit from a bad foundation (tree) will wither and rot to the ground.

Matthew 7:15 also begins by stating that false profits coming in sheep's clothing are but ravenous wolves. So does it then make sense that a so called good fruit from a bad foundation (tree) is representative of the sheep and the rotting fruit the same as wolves clothing?

Micheal Hale and his Kingdom Ministries, a satellite of the Global School, as long as he uses false teachers Randy Clark or Bill Johnson in his videos or teachings, can no way bear good fruit. Johnson and Clark believe and have written that Christ gave up his divinity while on earth. This is a cornerstone of their teachings on how we should be raising the dead and performing miracles. THEY DENY THE TRINITY. Even if letting go of the trinity for the thirty years Christ was on earth it is still a denial. The most important event in the history of man was Christ's arrival on earth in the flesh.

Matthew 7:15-20 ESV

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 

Hale Moves False Teaching Abomination Out of Coxsackie

False Teacher Randy Clark

It appears Michael Hale will not be holding his false teaching ministry, Kingdom Ministry, in Coxsackie after all. Hales blog posts that a new location Albany has been chosen. The newest location for this circus ministry is  Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 63 Mountain View Ave, Albany NY. 

I can only hope the word gets out on this scion of false teacher Randy Clark and they get shown the rails in Albany as well. As glad as I am to get rid of his finger painting sessions I feel bad for Our Savior's Lutheran and hope they do not get swindled.

Beware ANY School of Supernatural Ministry...........Global or Bethel Especially

Speaking out
After a strange experience with an erratic Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry student who baby-sat his children, Bart McCurdy of Cottonwood decided to find out for himself what was going on at Bethel. McCurdy said he attended a Friday night service at the church, during which he saw people painting on stage, dancing and flailing around on the ground. He found their worship music unconventional when one line of the same song was played for at least11 minutes, he said. McCurdy said the repetitive music, dancing, painting and excessive stimuli serve to get people worked up into an emotional frenzy where they're expecting to see miraculous things."They come looking for that feel-good feeling, that high, for supposed miracles,supposed signs and wonders, speaking in tongues, gold dust, diamonds, feathers. ... It seems like they're just ready for it," he said.

McCurdy said he regularly downloads podcasts of Bethel messages and hasn't heard the Christian gospel message taught at Bethel. His Web site,www.heraldingtruth.com, is to educate people on what he believes are false teachings and challenge those involved in the movement, he said

Resurrection Day is EVERY DAY..Easter is a Pagan Fraud

So let me get this straight.....this year we think Jesus arose from the grave on March 31st a different day from last year and next year will be different again. Fact is the day was set to appease Pagans and the rites of spring (amongst other spring fertility rites as well)...then we do the Pagan thing of sunrise worship but call it something else but yet do it on the day the church came up with to appease the Pagans....and we wonder why we can't get more people to come to church. The resurrection should be celebrated everyday....I am a Christian and I do not do Easter.........

1 Man 1 Woman

Do You See a problem Here?

When You Take it Out of The Bedroom it is My Business

An Anchor in the Sea of Change

I attend a conservative non denominational church in Coxsackie, New York. This church is firm in it's Bible fundamentals and accurately preaches The Word without swaying from the original solid rock foundation of God's word in both new and old testaments. The "membership" is somewhere around 200 with 100+ attending Sunday services. I italicized membership because as in true Christianity there is no requirements for membership other than just being there worshiping God. 

So what then can be wrong with such a true to faith true the teaching body of Christians?  The issue here is one of compromise in the name of ecumenicism. While the church itself is doctrinally sound in an effort to espouse Christian unity churches like mine have begun to fellowship in an official capacity with mainline denominational churches that long ago began slipping in their standards and evolved into churches of the world. 

Some of these churches ordain women into official pastoral capacities, some have given in to the homosexual squeaky wheel and not only ordaining gay clergy but performing same sex marriage. Some of these denominational churches in our town are still conservative enough and stand firm against the practice of same sex marriage but still fly the Episcopal and ELCA flags and logos on their doors.

Several of the local congregations while not performing same sex marriage have "formulas of agreement" with ones who do and agreed to share clergy amongst themselves. Some of them ordain women.

The leadership of churches like mine will not let women in the pulpit, will not marry gays and will not pray to God through Mary.....................................

Why then do solid, scripturally correct churches join hands in fellowship with apostate churches when Paul says with people like that "DO NOT EVEN EAT"?

I don't know.............

But I will CRY OUT LOUD and stand ground for the faith!
