![IS "WORD OF FAITH," JUST HINDUISM?
[2 of 4] Whether you know much about Word-of-Faith preachers or not, it is rampant
in the Christian Church today; just know that when you see them
on Christian television, 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 taken advantage of. Whether it’s Hindu gurus or
their counterparts, American
Word of Faith teachers,
the only difference is that
the latter just sprinkle Christianese
on the Hindu sales pitch.
Folks want to believe the man (or woman)
on television is going to help them
get out of their struggles,
(as he claims he will). Instead, just like the gurus in India, these guys are grabbing
people's cash, and it is even rampant in the Church today. | image tagged in god,bible,hindu,preacher,jesus,demonic | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/43awok.jpg)
![IS "WORD OF FAITH," IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, JUST HINDUISM?
[1 of 4] Even a secular world can see Word of Faith preachers as 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 the gurus in India promise Hindus. Both the Word of Faith people and Hindu gurus also promise perfect health. Still, the Church today is silent about these people in our midst. And what is the result? Second Peter tells us it brings the truth of Christianity into shameful disrepute. We must call a spade a spade! Peter speaks to us, the future 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 christian,church,god,jesus,bible,hindu | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/436xai.jpg)
![ARE “ALIENS” JUST THE SAME OLD DEMONS? I'll give you another nail in the coffin of the alien deception: How do we know these so-called aliens are really just more demons? Besides looking exactly like “spirits” that appeared to Aleister Crowley and led him astray (by him getting into an altered state of consciousness to connect with them), secular researchers are saying the one thing that freaks aliens out is the name of Jesus Christ. Do you know why? Folks, it's because "aliens" are demons. Let's read more about that from a video transcript with a dialect that requires a few brackets to clarify what this UFO researcher said: "All of these secular researchers [interviewing people who've had encounters with so-called aliens, are told this about those aliens]:; " 'They're deceptive. They lie to people. They're deceptive.' But people never questioned it during the experience. Suddenly, afterward, when [asked,] 'Were you told this? Were you told this?' They [answer,] 'Yes.' [And then someone tells them,] 'But that's not true and [the other] is not true. Doesn't that make you a bit suspicious?’ The only permanent solution is the authority of the Creator. He's the only One that obviously can have authority over those beings. They are not Neverland aliens visiting us from a galaxy far, far away. They are deceptive supernatural entities emanating from another dimension. Any serious expert will tell you that these are what they would describe as inter-dimensional beings
that should have stayed in the spirit realm but crossed over into ours.” | image tagged in alien,demon,crowley,occult,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/4i2vqq.jpg)
![WHY DO ONLY 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [4 of 4]
Then there's this important fact about the rock solid credibility of the Bible: Scripture was written over a period of 1500 years, through 40 generations, by 40 authors from every walk of life, including kings, peasants, philosophers, fisherman, poets, statesmen, etc. Before getting saved, I used to say the Bible was whipped up by men. But even on his best day, man could never put together something like the Bible. The writers didn't even know each other so how can critics claim they conspired? The diverse authors to the Bible were from all over the spectrum: Moses, was a political leader; Peter, a Fisherman; Amos, a herdsman; Joshua, a military general; Nehemiah, a cup bearer; Daniel, a prime minister; Luke, a doctor; Solomon, a King; Matthew, a tax collector; and Paul was a rabbi. Scripture was written in all kind of places: the wilderness, a dungeon, on a hillside, in a palace and a prison, while traveling, on the Island of Patmos by John, and during military campaigns. The last one of course was at a time of war but the Bible was also put down on paper in times of peace. So there were many different moods of the authors, from the heights of joy to the depths of despair and sorrow. On top of all that, Scripture was written on three continents (Asia, Africa and Europe) in three languages (Hebrew, Koine Greek, and a small part, Aramaic). With those aspects of the Bible in mind, here are the mind-blowers: Never once does the Bible contradict itself and it gives the same message throughout the Old and New Testament. So I'll say it again: Even on their best day, there's NO WAY mankind could ever whip up something like that. The Bible is

![WHY DO ONLY 50% OF CHRISTIANS TRUST THE BIBLE 100%? [1 of 4]
Christians can fully bank on the Bible, knowing it's exactly what God laid out for us as the only way that contains all truth, as well as the correct history and future. Contrary to that solid foundation for life, involving a relationship with Jesus, religions and cults just prescribe rituals, donations, worship of different entities, mantras, sacrifices, and other works of that nature. But those don't reveal ultimate knowledge because only the Bible can do that. Of course the Bible has skeptics so let’s look at the evidence: Skeptics say we can’t trust that it was Moses, around 1445 B.C., who wrote about the Garden of Eden in Genesis. However, with all due respect, that's the importance of genealogies. With the Bible, we can look at the lives of just three men in Genesis 10, who together cover the first 2157 years of mankind. How could that time period be so long? Of course it's because man had a longer life span at the beginning and that's not just some spiritualization of the Genesis text. We even know it’s scientifically possible, as we dealt with in detail through our study, "In the Days of Noah," as part of our "Creation Series." So, the history being repeated in the Bible is from only three guys, who knew each other for a long, long time. It wasn't just some weekend conference where
they hoped the breakout sessions were archived accurately. | image tagged in bible,trust,christian,truth,jesus,god | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/40jz3e.jpg)

A second testament to the veracity of the Bible is the Jewish copy methods, including the writing of doctrine on surfaces that would last; like the skins of clean animals, pottery, and sometimes even copper scrolls. And by the way, in God's sovereign plan, a lot of these items were stored in the desert where the extreme dryness greatly facilitated the preservation process. It's almost like God knew what He was doing, right? Also, the Jewish scribes had to produce a product with the exact same number of lines and columns throughout every Bible codex (an ancient text in book form). In fact, it literally involved a mathematical formula, a set mandatory recipe for the ink, they could not write anything from a memory, (including insignificant punctuation), those copying had to sit in full dress, they even washed their whole body over and over again each time they wrote the name of God, and even if a king or other royalty addressed that scribe, he could not acknowledge the noble, which was most likely punishable by death back in those days. So keeping the integrity of the manuscript work was very serious stuff! | image tagged in bible,trust,authority,god,jesus,truth | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/40k29v.jpg)
![IF JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, WHAT ABOUT THE DESERT-ISLAND DWELLER WHO HAS NEVER HEARD OF HIM? [1 of 2] Let’s say he’s never had a visitor, whether human, animal, bird, or insect. The skeptics question is this: "Do you mean to tell me God is going to send that poor guy to hell?!” You may know the answer if you’ve already seen our seminary-style study classes, Discipleship 101 & 102. It’s a disciple’s education for every Christian because Jesus' last words upon leaving earth were, "Go and make discipled learners of all nations.” Disciples can each save multitudes. Romans 1 and 2 answer our question and it’s called the "three C's.” First is the C in "Creation.” Having no Bible is no excuse. Romans 1 says none of us have an excuse because we had "the light of creation." Just step outside to see a bird, a flea, or a bee and that's intelligent design (just as your car is), which implies a Designer. The unfathomable complexity of the stars and planets show there is no stinking way this all happened by chance. All of creation drives us to know that there is a God. Romans 1 tells us this: "God's invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world.” God is seen and heard just by observing and hearing His creation. So everyone is accountable, having no excuse. | image tagged in jesus,bible,salvation,heaven,god,hell | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3zy5q5.jpg)
![[2 of 5] DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE FUTURE? Another sign the Bible gives that we’re living in the last days, is that the Church will go into apostasy. For those of us looking at Bible prophecy, I think sometimes we focus on the number of earthquakes rising, wars, and rumors of war; but I want to say, "Hey, don't just look on the outside of these Church walls." If we want to know we're in the last days, the Bible tells us to look inside at our own camp. Two thousand years ago, Paul wrote to Timothy about how the Church will know when we are living those last days. What he wrote must've blown Timothy's mind. Paul basically said, "Listen, can you imagine this? It's actually going to happen, man. We won't know the day or hour but hey, it's getting close when we see this: We Christians will actually still attend Church services but all we'll get from the pulpit will be fluffy stuff and stories made up.” Paul tells Timothy the last days will involve the Church gathering around themselves teachers who will just tickle their ears ("knetho" in Greek, which means only "pleasant things"). He says people will turn aside from the truth and only listen to myths or stories made up ("mythois" in Greek). During the last days, Paul is saying we'll see this mindset happen in the Church. It won't just be out in the world with all that wickedness, wars, earthquakes, famines, and pestilence; Paul says the Church will only be giving us pleasant topics and stories made up. Hey, it's a good thing we see no signs of that, right? Wrong! It's everywhere today! Regularly these days we get calls from here in the U.S., Canada, South America, Europe, and as far as Australia; always with the same legitimate complaint: "I can't find a healthy Church!" or "I can't find someone who will preach the Bible." Sometimes they'll add, "Now I'm the weird one for asking my pastor to preach the other third of the Bible (prophecy) he's been leaving out." And with many supposedly-Christian Churches, they don't even give the other two thirds. All their people hear is, "Hey, we're going to help you become a better you," or "Let's talk about how to be financially successful," or "Let's build up your self esteem.” But my Bible says we need to esteem others more than ourselves. We are to deny ourselves, pick up our cross, and follow Christ every day. Oops! Still, congregations today, gathering fluff preachers around them, are a major sign we're living in the last days. | image tagged in bible,prophecy,end times,god,jesus,christian | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/3x7coi.jpg)
