Why Presidential Candidate Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. Honestly is Not a Christian.

by @ 9:18 pm. Filed under Nuts on Parade

It brings me no pleasure to say it. But I said it of our current President in my post Why President George W. Bush Honestly is Not a Christian. When he spoke the same heresy Obama has spoken. So I would be a hypocrite not to say the same of Obama. And I want fellow saints to know the truth. Because this is the way man is running to Baal. All denying JESUS IS THE ONLY MEANS TO SALVATION BY FAITH ON HIM ALONE AND ALL OTHER PATHS LEAD TO DEATH AND CONDEMNATION.

Acts 4:12 (New American Standard Bible)

12 “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

Proof Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. follows another Jesus.

Obama contends belief in Jesus Christ not necessary for salvation

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Senator Barack Obama has told an audience that although he believes Christ died for his sins, those who reject that teaching can also be children of God.

During a campaign stop yesterday in Greensboro, North Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that he believes he “can have everlasting life” because Jesus Christ died for his sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who live moral lives are just as much “children of God” as he is. (listen to audio clip)

The Illinois Democrat added that his late mother didn’t share his faith but was a kind and generous person, so he’s “sure she’s in heaven.” (listen to audio clip)

(Audio clips are available on the site linked above.)

Given I have already detailed why Obama’s words are heresy and prove he’s not a Christian in a post about our current President. Just read the post Why President George W. Bush Honestly is Not a Christian. And mentally replace Bush’s name with Obama’s when reading.

This is how the whole world will worship the beast. Because they will all feel they are worshiping the same god and they all will be following the same false god. If MY GOD says salvation ONLY comes via faith on His Son and your god says there are other paths, your god is NOT MY GOD.

By definition, in Obama’s mind, he feels that he could have got to Heaven just as well if he remained a Muslim. Muslims (and non-Messianic Jews) deny the Lordship of Jesus Christ, but Obama feels a Christ denier can be “good” and be accepted into God’s Kingdom. That’s called the heresy of salvation by works.

If Christians Should Not Sue Fellow Christians. Should Christians Report Fellow Christians to YouTube for Copyright Infringement? Ex Ministries, G. Craige Lewis, Causing Christians to Lose Their YouTube Accounts.

by @ 3:02 am. Filed under Evangelicals Under Attack

I’ll just let the video speak for its self.



video titled: dear subscribers-there is a friend in need

(Hat tip to YouTubber thrufaithalone.)

Once upon a time, I thought G. Craige Lewis was OK. Then I learned more about his doctrine, started learning more about him and became concerned. All things noted and discussed in detail already. But on YouTube I felt those going after saints’ accounts were the type of people G. Craige was against. Well it appears in my opinion, that G. Craige is about leveraging the laws of man to ensure video sales, more than seeing the truth spread.

This is why once I started blogging more about church matters, I updated my blog’s copyright statement. So nobody would fear making a copy of material here related to church matters and I figure a Christian making a copy would cite their sources. I primarily like this blog to be cited as the source of something copied from here, so that I can explain or defend if someone has questions.

While I have major doctrinal issues with G. Craige Lewis, I felt he would not be uptight about people posting clips of his videos on YouTube. It gives him positive promotion and beyond that in some cases it helped spread some truth. Given my issues on some things of course I can’t say I agree with every statement from his mouth, but I felt many YouTubbers were selecting clips that expressed truth. I can’t say I know what video clip YouTubber BlazingSky2006 was using and I don’t know anything else about her or what she was doing on YouTube, but it’s pretty sad she lost her account over someone she was trying to promote.

So Christians being attacked on YouTube continues and Ex Ministries is playing a role in that.

1 Corinthians 6:1-8 (New American Standard Bible)

1 Does any one of you, when he has a case against his neighbor, dare to go to law before the unrighteous and not before the saints?

2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?

3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more matters of this life?

4 So if you have law courts dealing with matters of this life, do you appoint them as judges who are of no account in the church?

5 I say this to your shame Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

6 but brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers?

7 Actually, then, it is already a defeat for you, that you have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?

8 On the contrary, you yourselves wrong and defraud. You do this even to your brethren.

I’ve heard G. Craige Lewis claim he has to sell videos to feed his family. Well he is the pastor at a church. If he has need, his assembly should handle with that, if he’s being a good elder, 1 Timothy 5:17-18. Instead he’s engaging in the worst of what comes with peddling. By using laws of man against Christians.

2 Corinthians 2:17 (New American Standard Bible)

17 For we are not like many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.

If he wants to work of his own hands to supply his needs, he could always consider taking up something that does not involve peddling what he claims to be gospel. Like tent making, Acts 18:1-4.

There once were several of G. Craige Lewis’ videos easily findable on YouTube. Hard to find any now. After he went after some, there are some YouTubbers that feel YouTube did the rest automatically based on the file attributes of matching videos. I suspect if G. Craige Lewis had simply asked people using his videos to remove them that they would have voluntarily. It seems a YouTube message to the person he felt offended by would have sufficed.

I’ve seen more than one video of someone saying a YouTube account was shut down for having an Ex Ministries video on their account. I can’t say every video I’ve seen in that regard displays good temperament, so I can only post the one that is above. It seems some weak in the faith are not helped by what is happening at the hands of someone they felt good about.

People say they’ve tried to reach G. Craige Lewis about this issue and not received any response.

While it probably does not make him much money, it’s apparent G. Craige Lewis is peddling and acting as the ungodly do about it. So it’s like I’ve gone from once feeling G. Criage Lewis was OK, to having major doctrinal issues with him, to now having even more concerns about him. I had no plans to purchase his material, but I never advised anyone else to consider not giving him a dime. Now I’m thinking saints should avoid him, totally. I’ve never made a full post here that was only dedicated to warning about him, consider this the first.

I considered contacting Ex Ministries for comment. But when I went to their contact page, I decided not to. Primarily, all the page is about is booking him for a speaking engagement. Which of course he’ll want money for. And at the bottom of the page in small print it says the following:

For questions, please consult the arguments sections of our site.
We do not address rumors, personal issues, or personal attacks on G. Craige Lewis or EX Ministries, nor do we allow slanderous blogs, comments, or personal attacks on others on this site. We fight the devil at EX Ministries, not people. Ephesians 6:12

(I made the scripture noted into a hyperlink.)

His response to people that ask why he does not allow comments is interesting. I take it that is also why he does not allow comments on his blog. It seems he feels everything he does under the Ex Ministries banner is God inspired. And he makes it clear he’s not responding to phone or e-mail contact here. The only contact e-mail on his web site is for bookings, I’m not sure where any other e-mail address anyone else might have for him came from. They’re not getting responses and he’s said he would not be responding to phone and e-mails sent to him. But he does have time if you have the money to book him for a speaking engagement!

So I figure that he’s made it obvious I need not bother trying to reach him.

Wife of Prosperity Heretic Markus Bishop Says Her Husband is a Violent Man. Turns Himself in, Charged With Domestic Abuse.

by @ 8:54 pm. Filed under Nuts on Parade

This is a charge, not a conviction, let’s keep that in mind.

Prominent Pastor Surrenders on Domestic Abuse Charges

Pastor Markus Bishop surrendered to Bay County sheriff’s investigators around 8:00 Tuesday morning, but Tuesday afternoon the 47-year-old was back to work at his Faith Christian Family Church. Sheriff’s officials are charging the pastor with domestic battery against his wife, 42-year-old Margie Bishop. According to the incident report, the Bishops got into an argument in their home at the Exclusive Preserve on the night of Sunday March 16. That’s when Margie Bishop claims her husband hit her with his fist. The next day Mrs. Bishop left their home and traveled to her parents house in Broward County. That’s when she filed the report against her husband, but his attorney says Bishop did not intentionally injure his wife.”He was watching television, went to sleep on the couch and woke up with her over him hollering at him. When he told her to go back to bed she threw a glass of wine in his face. They then started a pushing-shoving match and then she may have gotten injured in what I would call a wrestling match. Basically there was some pushing and shoving that took place,” said Waylon Graham, Markus Bishop’s attorney. Along with the picture, Margie Bishop released a statement today saying “in the past I have tried to deal with Markus’ violence and verbal abuse in different ways to no avail. For the benefit of the church and all those, including me, who continue to care for him, it is my sincere hope that he seeks and finally receives proper treatment for his problem.”She goes on to say “I am saddened by his attorney’s public mischaracterization of the recent assault and their desperate attempts to focus the attention away from his brutal attack.

(Hat tip to Spark.)

Now as I said, it’s a charge, not a conviction. It’s a hard thing to prove when these pimps beat on their wives, given it occurs in private. Unless the court convicts him, I can’t say much else. With the Bynum parking lot beat down, there was a 2nd witness. Personally, I would not be surprised if he did it.

But given Markus Bishop has possibly fallen out of line with 1 Peter 3:7 [click to expand link], let’s see what this pulpit pimp is teaching is flock. (And then you’ll see why I call him a pulpit pimp.)

Spark tells me he’s a money pimp, preaching the prosperity doctrine heresy and he seems to be rather open about that and his ties to some other pimps.

Markus Bishop

Markus Bishop is the Senior Pastor of Faith Christian Family Church of Panama City Beach, Florida as well as an internationally known author, speaker, and host of the Faith Is The Victory television broadcast.

In 1993, the Holy Spirit directed Pastor Bishop to take the message of Biblical finances and the anointing of increase to the world. Since then, he has ministered on Kenneth Copeland’s daily television broadcast as well as in financial conferences with Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, Jr. Pastor Bishop’s book, Our Covenant of Prosperity, has sold over 250,000 copies worldwide and has been featured on Trinity Broadcasting Network as well as in Kenneth Copeland’s Believer’s Voice of Victory magazine.

He has received thousands of testimonies of how this message of increase from God’s Word has produced miracles in the finances of those who have put its principles to practice.

Pastor Bishop’s ministry focuses on the local church as he fulfills his call “to prepare God’s people for works of service” (Ephesians 4:12 NIV) and proclaim the message of deliverance and restoration to every area of life – spirit, soul, body, and finances. He encourages others to let the Bible be the final authority in their lives.

So he says that the Holy Spirit told him to go preach money to the world. Well this is what my Bible tells me.

1 Timothy 6:3-5 (New American Standard Bible)

3 If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness,

4 he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,

5 and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

Men depraved of mind and deprived of truth are supposing godliness is a means of gain. Markus Bishop is depraved of mind and deprived of the truth. (Well I can’t say he’s guilty of beating his wife, but he’s not looking like a good man.) The Apostles did not go around preaching earthly financial “increase”. They were homeless preaching a message of salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ and telling us to be imitators of them, 1 Corinthians 4:11-16 [click to expand link]. Jesus did not go around preaching financial “increase”. There are no recorded miracles of Christ or the Apostles taking 2 coins and turning them to 5000. Scripture teaches a message of contentment.

Markus Bishop mentions he hangs with heretic Kenneth Copeland. He holds money pimp conferences with heretic Creflo Augustus Dollar, Junior. And of course others of like depraved mind have written him, to tell them that they got money and claimed godliness is a means for financial gain, Luke 6:39-40 [click to expand link].

If he sees the Bible as the final authority, how can he waste time on money, claiming to preach about spirit, soul, body, and finances. He reads like a Christ-less motivational speaker more than anything the Bible shows to be a pastor, 1 Timothy 3. The man is greedy for money and teaching a false doctrine.

But it seems with all his money and fame, he can’t even keep a wife. It would be good if Markus Bishop would strive to earnestly reconcile with his wife and repent of the heresy he spews, but until then, all saints should avoid him and his associates until they repent and turn to sound doctrine.
