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.

(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.

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.

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.

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.

(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.

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

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!

Do Madeline Neumann’s parents now realize they had faith, but were deceived?

(Hat tip to YouTubber jterry316.)

That child is dead and the Lord allowed that child to die, not just because it was her “time” to go, but because her parents are deceived. It was not because they lacked faith in God’s ability, but they are deceived in how to do something like treat a disease God has allowed all people to know how to treat.

When the Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ named Paul wrote to Timothy, God did not have Paul to tell Timothy he needed more “faith” when he had treatable medical problems. God did not have Paul to rush to see Timothy, to pray healing for Timothy. God had Paul to simply give Timothy the widely known treatment, stop drinking so much water and drink a little wine. Historically it is noted that the water in the area Timothy was in had some issues and we see from scripture Timothy had some medical problems. The recommendation of a little wine to a man who avoided strong drink was the prescription Paul gave to Timothy. Because it was the known means to fix the problem. A little wine was the medicine for that matter. And it was a prescription even heathens were aware of. The bottom line is, Timothy was sick and Paul DID NOT tell Timothy to rest on faith, he knew Timothy HAD FAITH, he gave Timothy the common prescription for fixing the problem. A little wine.

Many saints have been deceived into feeling that they need some great mountain of faith, or they will suffer all kinds of catastrophe.

This verse is often cited in the Word of Faith movement, the cult of “little gods”. They feel if they will within themselves enough “faith” they’ll have and do anything, because Jesus said nothing would be impossible. What they are missing is the fullness of the statement. Jesus was NOT trying to get people to have faith for healings. He was pressing them to have faith that HE IS THE CHRIST. The miracles were all simply to help them see He is the Christ. The Word of Faith movement, that cult of “little gods” and other similar cults have twisted the gospel AWAY FROM FAITH IN CHRIST FOR SALVATION OF THE SOUL into faith for all things of this world, this life and the flesh. One has to wonder why people in the Word of Faith movement even eat? Why don’t they just have “faith” that their bellies will be full? Nothing impossible right? They realize their physical body needs certain things to survive, including food and water. When the body breaks down, it needs things such as medicines and other treatments God willed man to have via common grace. Just as we eat and drink for our physical survival, we also should use medical treatments when the physical body has need of them.

We know Jesus is the Christ, He paid the price for our sins and He’s on the Right Hand of the Father. During the establishment of His church, some still did not believe. People that God wanted to convince via miracles. So THE APOSTLES were granted power to do things as Christ and greater. In John 14 Jesus was pressing His Apostles to fully believe He is the Son of God and declared what they would be able to do if they did. They were to work ministering His Gospel, as He declared from the Father. Jesus having the fullness of deity, God in flesh, perfect in every way, because He is as His Father who gave Him all, God, John 1:1 [click to expand link], John 1:14 [click to expand link] and John 3:35 [click to expand link]

We humans are not God, not even with a small “g”. We are sinners saved by grace. We who believe as Christ wanted His Apostles to believe, that He truly is the Son of God. The Apostles in working for Christ in the establishment of His church were granted full handle of all gifts of the Spirit. We have the same Holy Spirit as them, but the Lord did not declare we all would have command of all gifts, 1 Corinthians 12. So we don’t have the ability to declare NOTHING is impossible to us, we simply live by faith and accept as the Lord wills.

Like Timothy who was not an Apostle and did not have all gifts of the Spirit, he could not overcome his ailments without a medicinal treatment, wine. We use what the Lord has made available as the Lord wills, we don’t turn away from it.

No hungry man should turn down any food given to him and no sick person should turn away medicine to cure their ailments. It’s not putting faith in man to take medicine no more than its putting faith in man to eat a steak. (Thank God for steaks .) No good saint puts their faith in the medicine or in the steak or in man, but in Christ. We go to the doctor because he has studied how the body works and can help maintain it. When our car breaks, we don’t leave it on the side of the road waiting in “faith” for NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE faith to repair the car. Using what the Lord has willed us to have accessible to us for the body to survive is not bad or any lack of faith. God has given the things for our use and we should be grateful for it. So long as it is not something we know harms the body and we know the TRUTH that Jesus is Lord, we should make full use of what God has granted to us, thankfully, it’s sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

This does not mean God won’t ever do something miraculous, but it’s as He wills and we must use things obviously at our disposal rather than refusing them. Accept easy access to a medical cure as a miracle in its self, considering what saints in other nations suffer through. They would love to have easier medical treatment of some of their physical ailments.

So Word of Faith people, please turn from that “little god” heresy. Enough people have already died. And I know not all of you go as far as Madeline Neumann’s parents, I used to be one of you myself and I always went to the doctor. However, I have seen someone refuse medical care till death in “faith”, I know some who are very ill for slacking off on doctor prescribed medicine and your wayward doctrine causes you to error even if not in cases of medicine. You can only do as the Lord wills and should not take yourself as some super being with nothing you can’t do. You do the work of God as the Lord commands, accept what He has granted you with thanksgiving and contentment and keep faith on Him for eternal life.

When the Azusa Madness went north of the border it landed in Toronto.

Check out the promotional video the cult known as the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship has produced. They are rather proud of their out of order behavior. But some aspects of the cult they don’t mention in the video, but check out their promo video and then I’ll share more with you about why they are a cult. Although, the video should make it obvious.

Now if you don’t know what is wrong with that video, please check this out.

And notice how they laud cultists like Benny Hinn and Kathryn Kuhlman.

They talk of a “transferable” fire, but it’s not really about faith in Christ for salvation. It’s about jumping around and getting all worked up, then claiming it was Gawd because you got yourself sweaty. And they want to soak the world in this foolishness! They speak of the fulfillment of Joel 2:28-29, but guess where that already happened and never resembled the nonsense in that video? Read Acts 2. Peter said this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel. What was happening with the Apostles and those establishing the church, not John And Carol Arnott. The Holy Spirit now pours on all who receive Christ in truth, by way of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in every believer, the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Learn About the Holy Spirit. What is taking place in that video is unbiblical!

See other details here of why Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship (TACF) is a cult. (Warning, you might want to turn your PC audio down before clicking that link or the link below.)

And it’s a rather protective cult too. When they get exposed too much, they take the person exposing them to court.

So if you’re ever in Toronto, you have one less place to worry about going to and can spend your time better elsewhere.

If you are one in disagreement with the content of this post, TAKE TIME TO STUDY THE INFORMATION LINKED IN THIS POST.

They say they’ve been “called” to do so!

(Hat tip to Ron_B for the article.)

Now when someone can show me where the Lord Jesus or His Apostles stood in the way of a government prosecution I’ll agree with all 60 of those “ministers”. In scripture (THAT WOULD BE THE BIBLE WITH 66 BOOKS) it says government is SUPPOSED TO PROSECUTE EVIL, Romans 13:1-5 [click to expand link]. I am amazed at how America in many ways resembles Rome, but people claiming the Lord’s name won’t properly hold to what is in the letter God had Paul send to saints in Rome (the book of Romans in the Bible). And for you who desire to toss out the “judge not” line citing Romans 2. Go read it all, that was not about government prosecution, but rather people without Christ trying to pass godly judgment by use of Mosaic Law. Also it speaks against hypocritical judgment, judging what someone is doing themselves. The Jew can’t boast in the Law, all of them have broken it and need a savior (TO BELIEVE ON JESUS AS THE CHRIST, MESSIAH AND LORD) like we all do. This does not mean we ignore government being empowered BY GOD to prosecute people who do evil. And saints are to judge people who claim the Lord’s name, as to whether they are fit for association, 1 Corinthians 5.

Now a “minister” claiming he was “called” to stand with Kilpatrick in opposition to the prosecutorial efforts, not only means some or all of them stand with Kilpatrick in personal support. They feel God Himself has charged them to stand with Kilpatrick in his assertion of innocence. They are calling for an end to what is not just ordained by God in terms of a trial, but has EVIDENCE IN KILPATRICK’S OWN MESSAGES THAT HE’S NEVER DENIED ARE HIS MESSAGES.

And this disturbs me for even more reasons. Check out the videos below.

If this evidence was connected with Jeb Bush and that stripper was somebody paying them 10%, do you think the 60 mentioned above would be standing with Jeb Bush?

Ministers as a collective body giving political endorsements is bad enough, but what they are standing in opposition of here is something they should be staying out of. For any minister to claim they were “called” for such means they are hearing from something other than God. They need prayer, but not in support of their efforts.

Yea he probably lied and committed adultery, but WHAT ABOUT THE DEAD PEOPLE?!!!

And this video was just too funny not to include in this post.

I don’t know what they put in the water up in Detroit that has people supporting him, but I’m glad I’m not drinking it! There should already be a recall election under way, given he won’t leave on his own.

Given how Pulpit Pimps seem to be OK with them when being used on their behalf, I wanted to provide a bit more information about how credit cards have caused many of America’s current issues. And there’s plenty of blame to go around, but the bottom line is that America has a debt problem now from top to bottom. With the average consumer, credit cards are a major source and it started being big once our government made it easier for banks to practice usury.

I hope you noticed definition #3. Once upon a time on planet earth, charging any interest on money loaned to someone else was the definition of usury. In time it has changed to being very high interest rates, which credit cards are for many.

Below is a video that details how the credit card industry started booming in America. Of course almost all of us have helped in that.

Under the old covenant the nation of Israel was forbidden to charge interest on loans to their own people. They could charge interest to people outside of their nation that they loaned money to. While we are not under the old covenant, the biblical definition of usury is still something to think about.

I’m having trouble finding biblical justification for Christians to engage in any sort of usury when I consider the following.

I’ve found that scripture offers a very logical reason for nations to flat out ban usury. So I just want to share that with you, hoping perhaps the video helps drive the point home.

Usury causes a nation to feed on its self, especially in times of financial crisis. Leaving the rich with everything and the rest struggling to eat. I’m not trying to have America “ban” all usury as the term is defined biblically. There were money changers when Jesus walked the earth in flesh and He didn’t turn over their tables when they operated outside the temple, He just didn’t allow them INSIDE. But I do find that America’s financial crisis becomes worse with more people owing more and government even owing more to foreign nations. And really our fiat currency system has gotten to a point where nobody having any loans would oddly result in America having less money or some say no money. It seems that it would be good practice by a government to keep interest rates under some sort of control. This does not mean I feel people with bad credit should get loans at the lowest rate or no interest rate, but perhaps people with bad credit would be better off if they were denied loans till they saved more?

Anyone without Christ is going to burn, but I’m just pondering this fine credit mess America is in. Because it’s becoming apparent to me that uncapped usury is not a good thing. And pulpit pimps only prove themselves to be vipers by participating in accepting credit cards for church donations.

Anyway, avoid debt as best you can.
