Watchman: Verily, Jesus Did Not Adorn Himself With a Suit and Tie, nor Did He Display a Rolex Watch. He Possessed Neither a House, nor, Horse, or Camel. Nevertheless, There Are Certain Pastors Who Preach the “Prosperity Gospel,” Which Is a Distortion of the True Gospel

By SRH, “Inside Edition” recently conducted an investigation into the issue of tax-exempt parsonages. The news report showcased aerial footage captured by drones and photographs of some of the largest mansions owned by churches in America. Lisa Guerrero, the investigative reporter, made an attempt to interview televangelist Jesse Duplantis about his residence, but he declined to answer any questions. Ryan Burge, an Associate Pastor and Political Scientist, shared his insights with “Inside Edition”: “If you own a multi-million-dollar house, your property tax bill could amount to $30,000, $40,000, or even $50,000 per year. However, if the property is classified as a parsonage, you are exempted from paying property taxes on that home. The $50,000 saved could instead be used to pay the salary of an elementary school teacher in your local public school.” The exemption from property taxes on homes…

Watchman: The Gospel of Inclusion, as Taught by Carlton Pearson and Rick Warren, Encompasses Several False Belief

The gospel of inclusion is simply the old heresy of universalism re-packaged and given a new name. Universalism is the belief that all people will eventually be saved and go to heaven. The gospel of inclusion, as taught by Carlton Pearson and others, encompasses several false beliefs: (1) The gospel of inclusion says that the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ paid the price for all of humanity to enjoy eternal life in heaven without any need for repentance. (2) The gospel of inclusion teaches that salvation is unconditional and does not even require faith in Jesus Christ as the payment for mankind’s sin debt. (3) The gospel of inclusion believes that all humanity is destined to life in heaven whether or not they realize it. (4) The gospel of inclusion declares that all humanity will go to heaven regardless of religious…

Watchman: Satan’s Best Ambassadors Are Not Pimps Politicians or Power-Brokers, But Pastors…

Satan’s ambassadors are not pimps, politicians, or power-brokers, but pastors, bishops and phony theologians. His priests do not peddle a different religion, but a deadly perversion of the true one. His troops do not make a full-out frontal assault, but work as agents, sneaking into the opposing army. Satan’s tactics are studied, clever, predictable, effective. Therefore, we must always remain vigilant. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:15-16a). False doctrine weakens the future church, while sound doctrine strengthens the future church. Christians are responsible for both the present and the future of the faith. Jesus’s final commandment to his disciples included not only evangelizing and baptizing the nations, but also “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:20a). In…

Aids / HIV and Other STDS Are Part of God’s Judgment There is an epidemic

of HIV/Aids in the United States, and the reason you may not have heard about it because the CDC has suppressed the truth All sickness, from the common cold to cancer, is part of the curse, and we who live in a cursed world are subject to decay. So, yes, AIDS / HIV and other STDs (along with all other diseases) are part of God’s judgment in a cursed world. Romans 1:18-32 is an indictment of the heathen, idolatrous world. It starts with these words: “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men.” This passage teaches that the sin of homosexuality has its roots in a denial of God. It brings about shame, degradation, and a “due penalty.” Since STDs such as AIDS / HIV are attendant, for the most part, upon…

ARE YOU DISCERNING EVIL IN THE FLOCK?

The church is polluted with worldviews, HillSong Church, the latest craze for the spiritually dead, preaching an empty sermon to a full house while entertaining the sheep people is a absolute highway to hell…SRH. Some worldviews teach that all good and evil will eventually be balanced. This is related to Eastern ideas such as karma, which implies that good and evil are inherently imbalanced but will one day be evened out. A frequent component of fiction and fantasy is the idea that good and evil are equally balanced, evenly matched forces. According to this view, neither is ultimately in control. Either may eventually win. This is the concept of dualism, which suggests a perpetual balance between the forces of good and evil. In some cases, dualism implies that opposing beings, such as God and Satan, are deadlocked in a struggle for…
