![IS THE "WORD OF FAITH" MOVEMENT JUST WESTERNIZED HINDUISM? [4 of 4] Here are a few examples of what Word of Faith preachers are saying that is just Hinduism—and certainly not biblical: Jesse Duplantis: "The very first thing on Jesus' agenda was to get rid of poverty.” Excuse me?! Jesus said His priority was to glorify God, destroy the works of the devil, and to save us from sin. Frederick Price: "The apostles were businessmen. They were rich men that had plenty of money… Only rich people could take off for three and a half years… That's the reason why I drive a Rolls Royce. I'm following Jesus’ steps.” But the Bible says, "In
their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories made up."; Creflo Dollar: "I'm telling you, Jesus wasn't poor, and… Jesus didn't have no rags on. He wore designer clothes, honey!” Robert Tilton: "The only time people were poor in the Bible is when they were under a curse... Being poor is a sin.” But the Bible says this about Jesus giving up everything to come to earth as a poor man: “Though Jesus was rich, yet for your sake he became poor…” Just like the Word of Faith preachers here in West, an Eastern group of religious leaders also live lavish lifestyles. They too teach those who send them money that the donators can also become wealthy
if they would only practice the right “force of faith” with their words.
That is exactly what Word of Faith preachers and Hindu gurus all claim,
and it is how the religious leaders from both camps live. | image tagged in hindu,jesus,god,bible,cult,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u4izb.jpg)
![IS THE "WORD OF FAITH" MOVEMENT JUST WESTERNIZED HINDUISM? [2 of 4] Whether you know much about Word of Faith preachers or not, it is rampant in the Christian Church today. When you see them on Christian television, just know that the whole thing is demonic. They are not only ripping off well-meaning—but uninformed—folks in the Church, most often it is the poorest Christians that they take advantage of. The only difference between Eastern, Hindu gurus and their American counterparts in the Word of Faith movement is that the latter sprinkle Christianese on the Hindu sales pitch. Folks want to believe the claims of slick men or women on television who promises to alleviate their health issues and financial struggles. Instead, just like the gurus in India, these conmen that have invaded the Western Church are just
scamming people to grab their cash, and that includes the many, many
Word of Faith preachers in the Christian Church today. | image tagged in hindu,christian,false teachers,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u4idt.jpg)
![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [4 of 4] By subjecting their followers to outdated Old Testament Law, as well as organizational rules—their prescription to supposedly make it to heaven—Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other cults put a horrible curse on their devotees. That is what these false faiths do with their works-based gospel, which is nothing new, just a repackaging of the same old heresy from way back at the beginning of the Church. Each of them are harming their followers to the point of putting those poor people under a curse. I did not say that. It is exactly what we find in Scripture. We flawed humans can't even keep the first commandment: How many of us have spent every day of our lives perfectly loving
the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, and strength? Don't say you have, or you'll also be guilty of violating the ninth commandment against lying—of course you already have anyway—I'm just trying to help. But my point is that we can't even make it past one requirement in an attempt to achieve our own salvation without Jesus. So, it ain't gonna happen! We need Christ. Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, and many, many other false-faith organizations are just works-based cults—because cults are always works based. These groups begin their teachings by getting their source of authority (not the Bible) wrong and then all their other doctrine tumbles downhill from there. They may even profess to rely supremely on the Bible, but when pressed and in practice, they do not! Ultimately, they get the wrong way to heaven because they do not trust in the free work of Christ alone. And this has been
purposeful from their founding became a free gift from Jesus does
not allow those organizations to control people, gain slave labor,
and coerce a massive amount of money from them. | image tagged in mormon,adventist,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2qy4.jpg)
![IS THE "WORD OF FAITH" MOVEMENT JUST WESTERNIZED HINDUISM? [1 of 4] Even a secular world can see the Word of Faith preachers for the hucksters they are. Day after day they get on television, claiming we can have a perfect life full of riches beyond our most ambitious dreams, just as India’s gurus promise Hindus. Both the Word of Faith people and Hindu gurus also promise perfect health. Still, the Christian Church today is mostly silent about these people in our midst. And what is the result? Second Peter tells us that the failure to mention it, thus allowing it to grow in the Church, brings the truth of Christianity into shameful disrepute. We must call a spade a spade! Here are the kinds of preachers Peter warned us to look out for in these last days of the Christian Church: "In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them and their
destruction has not been sleeping.” In other words, we don't want
to be around them when the hammer comes down. | image tagged in hindu,false teachers,god,bible,jesus,church | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u4hok.jpg)
![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [2 of 4] Paul continues speaking about those who reject the free gift of salvation from Jesus by deciding to also base their salvation on even one tiny part of Old Testament law—by doing so they must take on the entire law: “For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do EVERYTHING written in the Book of the Law.” Again, Paul is saying we would have to keep the entire list of Old Testament laws if we are going to put ourselves under even one part of the law. What's the problem with that? We can’t do it! No one can. Paul says this: "Clearly no one is justified before God
by the law.” How do our modern false teachers get around that? They can't. So, why are they still preaching this stuff today when it is clearly not from the Lord? Paul continues: "The righteous will live by faith." Not by works! Keeping the law is not basing your way to heaven on faith in Jesus. It is relying our own works—not what Jesus did for us. The Bible says, "The man who does these things will have to live by them." But Christ redeemed us from the curse by becoming a curse for us. The Bible says, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." We hang ourselves on a tree when we take on Old Testament law, even though Jesus saved us from not being able to follow it perfectly. Of course, we still strive to live like Jesus out appreciation for what He did. God redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham would also come to the
Gentiles (you and I). He did so—by faith alone in Jesus Christ—that
we might receive the promise of the Spirit; not of the law! | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2ooz.jpg)
![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [1 of 4] Yes! According to Galatians, two thousand years ago Paul dealt with the heretical claim that making it to heaven supposedly takes two things: Jesus and following Old Testament Law. Unfortunately, two centuries later, this idea has been repackaged by false faiths like those mentioned above, yet Christians and others give them a pass on the same non-biblical teachings that Paul warned against. The apostle said this to the Galatian people, who are just like the followers of today’s religions that teach the same heresy:; "Have you suffered so much for nothing? Does God give you His Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law [No!]. Or, is it because you believe what you heard [about Jesus? Yes!] The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles [non-Jews] by faith [in Jesus]… ALL WHO RELY ON OBSERVING THE LAW ARE UNDER A CURSE.” So whenever you hear people like the leadership of the Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and many, many others claim “Jesus is the way—BUT you must keep certain laws or religious rules,” they are attempting to preach a curse on you. I'm not
saying that. It’s in God's Word. We only need Jesus! | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2o9q.jpg)
