#False Doctrine

Worst thing about Calvinism in your opinion?

Thank you for asking. Although hard to choose, I think predestination is the worst. The more I learn about it, the more I tend to believe it's demonic.

Up until recently I thought predestination was about certain people going to hell and certain people going to heaven, not because of free will but because God decided who goes where before they were even born. And this happens because He is God and He owns so he does whatever He wants with us. This is highly problematic already.

However, it was only this month when I realised that Calvinists believe that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING is predestined. All evil that's happening in the world is predestined. If a child is raped then it's because God planned the rape for some greater purpose. And if you believe this is wrong you actually claim that God does things without any purpose.

I originally thought I misunderstood them. But no, this is what people like John Piper and James White believe. And it's hard for me to not believe they are right because my own life struggles proves them right. I think I told you before what I ended up believing. I'm predestined to be God's punching bag, to be abused, rejected and so on because there's some purpose in all this and somehow His name will be glorified. If I get raped or my future children get molested or my husband leaves me or gets killed I will have to accept it because this is God's plan. It's not that God is unable to stop this. It's all about whether He is willing to do so, if these serve His plans or not. This is what Calvinists like those I mentioned believe.

If you want to hear more about all these, go listen to Leighton Flowers and Sam Shamoun. I recently discovered them and, in case you don't know them already, they are both former Calvinists who more or less expose the "dark side" of Calvinism (I don't know if there's a bright side but anyway). I listened to this video today which describes more or less what I mentioned above. There's even an abstract of a former Calvinist's testimony who is now an atheist because of Calvinism.

What are your thoughts on it?

Red Flag Symbols for Christians #6

My apologies friends! I haven’t made a post to this blog series in over a month. *sigh* Real life has been keeping me super busy. It wasn’t until today while scrolling through images on Pinterest, I came across these “paintings” of Jesus…..

*It's also Holy Week and in my attempt to think outside the box for this post, I know this topic will do the job well. The entire reason for Holy Week and Easter is all about Jesus Christ, but as you read through this blog post, not everyone believes in the same "Jesus".

I bet you can totally see what I see! 😪

Just to make note, these are similar images I took of Pinterest. Majority don’t given credit to any artist or maker. They maybe AI Art for all I know, but that’s not the point of this blog post. It should very clear that there are those who think they can merge Christianity with Buddhism, and possibly Hinduism.

Jesus Christ could be easily be compared or even “representing” a depiction on Buddha, himself. The specific position and composition of Jesus in these images are mirroring of eastern religious position of traditional meditation. Basically these image are spending us the message the Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism are cohesive. That’s is a huge, NO!!!

The last image of Jesus meditating completely suggests that Jesus IS Buddha. Here are just a few religious art examples of Buddha that are similar to the Jesus images above. Buddhism has been a prominent religion in Eastern Asia for centuries that different regions have developed their own distinct styles and looks to how Buddha appears in their artwork.

Here are more images from Pinterest that make my observation accurate. 😣

Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism are completely far from the same religious believe; actually polar opposites on multiple levels. If you do believe that Jesus Christ was merely a human man that was a wise teacher and etc. then of course, if makes sense to compare him to Buddha. When it comes to Hinduism, my knowledge is very limited, but if I’m correct the blue skin colored “Indian” male is a deity. A deity is equal to a god. So I’m guessing Jesus is being compared or equal to this Hindu deity in the images above as well. I’m also lacking in the knowledge that it is believed that Buddha achieved godhood. I better do some more research then. Lol

Anywho….my dear brothers and sister please be alert and aware of pictorials of Jesus-like these. These image are complete false witnesses of Jesus Christ. This way of thinking is in line with the believe that all religions or spiritual believes lead toward the same destination to heaven; eternal paradise and etc.

The New Age movement in America became prominent in the 1960s & 1970s in connection to the Hippie culture. It has mainly drawn influence by many eastern religions. From my own past research of new ager, I learned they have their own formulated version of Jesus. It’s possible the same “Jesus” is the one represented in the images above. Definitely something to be aware of. God Bless & be diligent in Jesus name!

*Also most importantly, if you make studying the Bible and being in prayer/commune with God, you'll receive the knowledge and wisdom to see right through these false teaching/doctrine of Jesus. By spending time with Him, you'll learn of God's true character as you would a close friend. Then you'll know how to spot false doctrine better because they're go against who God truly is. May the Lord lead you, and keep you in Jesus name!!!

THE GREAT FALSE DOCTRINES PART THREE

Time for some uncomfortable topics; false doctrines. The doctrine under scrutiny is this time is oneness Pentecostalism. This is more of an umbrella that term that encompasses several doctrines that all deny the truth of the trinity. One such doctrine is called modalism. This doctrine states that God “transforms” from one state into another, that is to say, He transforms from Father to son to Spirit and back again.

The detractors of this doctrine claim that it has no scriptural basis and it is denying the Godhood of both Christ and the Holy Ghost. What is my take on this doctrine? I believe that the trinity is a non-negotiable for any serious believer. Genesis chapters 1, 15 and Matthew chapter 1 are all evidence of the truth of the trinity. God the father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit are eternal, unique persons with one essence. It should not be up for discussion, and there is no logical argument against the nature of the trinity.

My Prayer Today | 1 Timothy 4

In the latter days, some are going to depart from the faith, and my prayer this morning is that I stay rooted and grounded in You, Lord. I pray for an increase of discernment so that I can perceive any false doctrine that has been masked and adorned in melodic speech. Let me not give heed to seducing spirits, but let me be the one who remains and endures in the faith.

There is freedom in Christ. Many religious folks want to create all of these unnecessary laws and rules that even they can’t keep up with. Jesus didn’t come to burden us under the law; He came to fulfill the law, which is the law of love. And if He is in us, we are enabled to fulfill it because Jesus Christ, Himself, is love. Jesus never commanded us to build up a resume of good works or self righteousness. He simply said, “Follow Me.” And If we are genuinely and wholeheartedly following Him, what makes us think that He won’t lead us to what is good and true if He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life? It’s Christ who justifies and makes us holy𑁋 not our works, or how well we can keep the law.

We will never be able to fulfill the law by our own doing because we’re bound to break it. And if we break one, we’ve broken them all (James 2:10. If self righteousness is our fuel, if we depend on our behaviour as the seal of our salvation, then we’ll find that there is condemnation at the end of a law broken. But when we set aside our pride and begin to put our trust solely in Jesus and in the finished work of the cross, we find freeing truth, and the truth is that there is no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus.

So my prayer today is that someone will have an ear to hear so that they will begin to uproot themselves from “religion” along with all of it’s oppressive regulations, so that they can instead root themselves in Jesus and in the simplicity of His Gospel.

Oh boy.........

Which ones of these arbitrary trauma-induced rules do you follow?

No spending money, ever. what if you need it later and your life depends on it.

Assume that all strangers are 3 seconds close to becoming hostile. fawn to keep them friendly.

No delegating tasks. no telling other people to do things you could potentially do yourself. what if they mess up.

Assume that everyone will consider you a burden if you do 1 single mistake that inconveniences them. do all that is possible to not make that mistake.

Do not admit when things are going wrong. wait until theres no other option but to ask for help, and even then consider not doing that.

Always act like you're okay. not doing so might make you seem 'not normal' and 'accused of being crazy and unstable'.

Do anything for friends, even if it sounds weird, dodgy, illegal. you want to prove that you're fun and easy going and helpful and useful and extremely cool with anything.

Never let it show if you're suspicious of someone. never say out loud that you think their intentions are bad. that might set them off.

If hurt, hide and isolate. Do not let anyone see you hurt.

Do not ask help for problems you feel are your own responsibility to solve. Even if you don't see yourself solving them successfully. If you can't do it, assume nobody can help you.

Help others to try and build positive relationships. Don't accept help so you don't end up relying on them for anything.

Do not start things that involve help or participation from other people. People are not reliable.

Assume that institutions, government, police, social services, and any kind of groups of people are all considering you a nuisance, and would attack you on sight, in every single situation. Never rely on them or assume they would do anything else.

No arguing, confronting, or standing up for yourself unless the situation is absolutely unsurvivable otherwise. Lay low until doing otherwise is seriously damaging your mental health and ability to live.

Give up on hopeful social encounters before they disappoint you. If you have to interact with people, assume the worst is about to happen.

No allowing yourself to idealize, or dream of positive future with people. It's a trap and your expectations need to be either extremely realistic or low.

Assume that fancy and expensive things don't exist for you. Despise them and get away from them.

No comparing yourself and your life to how other people live. It causes depression and despair. Other people's lives and standards of living are none of your business.

Do not showcase any skill or brag about any achievement. Jealous people can destroy you for satisfaction.

Assume people think the worst of you and don't consider changing their mind. Just try to keep out of their way.

Do not display anger. You don't want to be called insane or get arrested. You don't know what people could potentially blame you for if you're openly angry. But other angry people are dangerous and you need to get away from them.

If you follow more than half of these, you have a trauma-induced problem. These are not normal or healthy. These are not developed in a healthy environment. These are extremely self-protective, isolating, ruled by terror of the world and the people living in it. If you follow these, something bad has been done to you.

Be careful of bad understanding and bad advice concerning our grace doctrine

The following post is in response to a comment made on one of my posts in this lesson series concerning the process of salvation. A comment like this is a good illustration of the lack of good biblical knowledge and understanding concerning our grace doctrine today. These types of comments, although they have a measure of truth, are also harmful, as they can make people ignorant of truth and rob…

@arcenciel-par-une-larme

On days you feel exhausted but frustrated because you feel like you haven’t done anything to be this tired, think about these things:

How longe since you’ve had a good night’s sleep? No nightmares, no waking up multiple times, actually going to bed early, not having insomnia, actually waking up feeling rested and ready to face the day?

How long has it been since you ate a properly nutritious and wholesome meal?

How long since you’ve taken a break from work without thinking about all the work you will have to do later?

Are you currently fighting any illness? Remember your body takes energy to recover.

Are you really “doing nothing” if you are constantly overthinking the fact you feel unproductive, if you are constantly stressed with the things you do and don’t do?

Have you had bad/no social interaction lately?

Are you in any physical or mental pain?

Are you taking care of everyone but yourself?

Does trying to live during a pandemic and world crisis brings you worry and stress?

Are you feeling anguish over all the burdens you have to carry but don’t seem to be able to do everything you feel like you should be doing?

Are you constantly worried? Anxious?

It doesn’t feel like you have been doing nothing now, does it? It feels like you have a lot going on that you have to deal with daily, even when you don’t consciously notice it. There is a lot of stress inducing factors around you and struggling is okay.

It is not easy to be human sometimes, so please, don’t pressure yourself so much when you are already trying to cope. If it feels like everything is too heavy, please ask for help.

Please take care of yourself. 🌱

[merthwyn]

I don't have any updates regarding my faith issues. I still struggle. But I know I can't live without God. I'm just still utterly scared of Him.

The devil thinks he will gain one more non-believer and is partying about it. Well, I may have a distorted image of God but I know very well who the devil is and I don't plan to make him my god. In fact, I'll fight him even if God chooses to abandon me or abuse me to expand the Kingdom.

In the meantime, keep praying for me if you can...

An Example of a Narcissistic Satanist who Worship

You will not believe in what this so-called minister is saying? This woke identity, self affirming and misrepresentation of the true gospel being inflated with the sense of self -importance through worship. Worship is about Almighty God and for Him alone through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus. This individual has lost his ever loving mind to think that God worship us. I will like…

THE GREAT FALSE DOCTRINES PART ONE

Time for some uncomfortable topics; false doctrines. First up on the list is the doctrine of hyper grace. This doctrine espouses the theory that once a person becomes a believer in Christ, he or she can live as they desire, with no consequence to their actions. The belief is that since Christ died on the cross and salvation is by faith alone, a human being cannot lose their salvation because they did not earn it. The detractors of this doctrine claim that it comes from the pit of hell and it is meant to spread carnality and disobedience. After all, a child with a handgun will only hurt those around him. What then is my position? I do believe that grace is meant cover the mistakes made by a believer in their walk with God. We are saved by grace through faith and I do believe that a person who is truly saved cannot lose their salvation. However a person who has the Holy Ghost indwelling within them, is a new creation and should want to love and serve God. This desire should result in good works and a changed lifestyle and when we repent, we are asking God to restore us rather than to redeem us again. A person cannot receive salvation and stay the same. Let us examine our hearts and minds and continue to seek the wisdom of the Holy Ghost

[merthwyn]

Most of Christians are like that unfortunately. And good luck with that because you are literally alone. You cannot talk to non-Christians because "blah blah blah witnessing". You cannot talk to Christians because of dismissive words and toxic positivity. To be fair both are rooted to spiritual abuse and false doctrine which is the prosperity gospel. And don't try to persuade me that only pastors like Benny Hynn and Joel Osteen preach the prosperity gospel. Whoever says to you Christianese like "Jesus is all you need" or teaches that the being the light in people's lives mean a happy life with no worries, preaches the prosperity gospel.

The world indeed sucks when it comes to supporting others. But I believe that Christians are the worst because the worldly "Just don't think about it" doesn't create a false image of God like the "Jesus is all you need", "find joy in tribulation" and "just have faith" do. They are truth but they are not helpful. In fact, can be utterly damaging if not used properly.

Certain People™: Christianity will make you happy and healthy always! If this doesn’t work for you, you are the problem and should consider praying harder ^-^
