It seems since I upgraded the blog to Wordpress v2.5 over the weekend, that some of you are having issues logging in. (Some are having issues and others are not having any problems at all.) If you have your password e-mailed to you automatically and that does not help, you can contact me using the e-mail account you signed up with and I’ll try and reset your password manually.
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.

Proof Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. follows another Jesus.
Obama contends belief in Jesus Christ not necessary for salvation

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

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)
|
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.
This is a charge, not a conviction, let’s keep that in mind.
Prominent Pastor Surrenders on Domestic Abuse Charges
|
(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

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)
|
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.
If all human life is precious to him, how can he OK even a little?
Shame, shame John McCain!
