Abounding Heresy Evidences Apostasy In America
 
By David J. Stewart | August 2012

       Each day I am saddened, as also the Lord is grieved with the apostasy of our generation. James 4:8-9 tells us that if we want to draw nigh unto God as believers, then we must be afflicted and let our laughter be turned into mourning, and our joy into sorrow.

Amos 3:3 says that in order for two to walk together they must be agreed. If we are to walk with God as His children, then we must share God's burden over the sin, apostasy and wickedness of our generation. Nothing grieves God more than when men hide their candle under a bushel and the Gospel is hid from the lost (2nd Corinthians 4:3).

All we see today are money-hungry Christians with their so-called ministries. I was viewing Ken Ham's Answers In Genesis website today. He has a store, but doesn't share the Gospel. According to Charity Navigator, Ken Ham gets paid a 6-digit salary and Answers In Genesis (AIG) took in over $22,000,000 in revenues in 2010.

They advertise all sorts of things you can purchase, but the plan of salvation is nowhere to be found. There's some sermons by Spurgeon buried under education/sermons. I sincerely doubt if an unsaved person is going to go searching through a Spurgeon sermon on how to be saved. The good news of Jesus Christ crucified and risen ought to be upfront, clearly visible for all to see. Ken Ham puts his store upfront.

I was reading over the CreationToday.org website (Eric Hovind and Paul Taylor), because they hired Paul Taylor from Answers In Genesis (AIG) last year in 2011, and they have influence over millions of people. I had witnessed to a Jehovah's Witness (JW) woman recently, who is indoctrinated into the cult, and so I went to look at the JW's official Watchtower website. I just ordered a book for her by Thomas Heinze titled, “Answers To My Jehovah's Witness Friends.” Lord willing, I plan to give it to her and I pray she reads it. I've been praying for her. Anyway, I noticed quickly that JW's teach the same heresy as Creation Science Evangelism and Ray Comfort (and hundreds of others who've jumped on the Lordship Salvation bandwagon).

It angers and grieves God when men pervert the good news of Christ crucified, buried and risen. It is a shame and tragic that so many people today have been led astray into a false gospel of human effort verses total faith in the the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mark 1:15 says, “repent ye, and believe the gospel.” The Bible is literally saying to change your mind and believe the Gospel. Unfortunately, Ray Comfort, Paul Washer and John MacArthur have perverted the meaning of this Scripture to mean, change your life and believe the Gospel. Here is the information concerning Ray Comfort located at the end of His “HELL'S BEST KEPT SECRET” sermon...

"Ray Comfort’s ministry has been commended by Franklin Graham, Ravi Zacharias, John MacArthur, David Jeremiah, Josh McDowell, Dr. Norman Geisler, Bill Gothard, David Wilkerson, Joni Eareckson Tada, and many other Christian leaders. He has written for Billy Graham’s Decision magazine and Bill Bright’s Worldwide Challenge.

His literature is used by the Moody Bible Institute, Leighton Ford Ministries, Campus Crusade For Christ, Institute in Basic Life Principles, and the Institute for Scientific & Biblical Research. He has also written more than 60 books and is a regular platform speaker at Southern Baptist State Conferences. His videos were seen by more than 30,000 pastors in 1992, and he has spoken in more than 700 churches, from almost every denomination."

That is frightening! Ray Comfort has taught his heresy in over 700 churches from almost every denomination. Moody Bible Institute (MBI) is corrupt. Moody ministries publish Dr. John MacArthur's books and idolize Ray Comfort's teachings. Just to inform you of the serious problem with John MacArthur and Ray Comfort's teachings, consider the following comparisons between the JW's and Ray Comfort, John MacArthur and Paul Washer's teachings...

Lordship Salvationists Agree With Jehovah's Witnesses
(Ray Comfort and JW's agree)

The Southern Baptist Convention is corrupt, recently publishing their own butchered fake Bible. It's all about money these days. Birds-of-a-feather flock together. Only a small handful of faithful Christians are contending for the Christian faith, who haven't bowed their knee to Lordship Salvation and the Roman Catholic religion.

Nearly every preacher I know who teaches Lordship Salvation is completely silent about the evils of Roman Catholicism. Did you know that Catholics share the same view of being born-again as do Lordship Salvationists? It's true! All recent popes in the past half-century have taught that no faith in necessary to get to Heaven. Go figure!

And did you know that John MacArthur teaches the same false view of repentance as does Mormons and Seventh-day Adventists? It's true! I just showed you in the link above that Lordship Salvation is in agreement with the satanic Jehovah's Witness cult. So why is it so hard for Moody Bible Institute and Creation Science Evangelism and the Southern Baptist Convention to spiritually perceive what is going on? It's because they don't care about the integrity of the truth. They would argue if the Devil tried to get them to bow to him in worship; but they don't have a problem with a changed Bible, or a changed morality, or a changed method of evangelism. Satan loves to incrementally change things for the worse, but nobody gets upset since it's hardly noticed by 95% of the churchgoers.

The heresy of Zionism has infiltrated our churches. Cyrus Scofield, promoted largely by the Dallas Theological Seminary has led millions of Christians into religious Zionism, which teaches that Jews are special and God will bless us for giving them money. May I say, Jews are no different than anyone else according to numerous Scriptures. Romans 10:12, “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.” Romans 2:11, “For there is no respect of persons with God.” The nation of Israel is special in that God chose them as His people, which they still are today; but that doesn't make them any better than anyone else.

Shame on Zionists like Pastor James Modlish who praise Jews above others. God cares about the poor African with A.I.D.S. as much as He does any wealthy and healthy Jewish rabbi. Zionism attempts to restore the Jews to their Promised Land, but the Bible plainly states that Israel will not be regathered until the Lord returns at the Second Coming. In fact, the Bible teaches in Isaiah 6:13 that 9-out-of-10 Jews living outside of Israel will be killed during the Tribulation, and only 2-out-of-3 Jews living in Israel will be killed (Zechariah 13:8). Learn more about this Bible study titled, “God Will Keep His Kingdom Promises To Israel” (by Dr. Max D. Younce).

Just as Abraham and Sarah doubted God and sinfully took matters into their own hands, so also do Jews today try to force God's hand. Let God work in His own time. Thankfully, all saved Jews will be remove from the earth (Raptured) at the beginning of the 7-year rapture as the Bible says in 1st Thessalonians 4:7). Every saint of God, Jew and Gentile alike will be Raptured (Caught Up) to meet the Lord in the air and clouds. Amen!

It's amazing how people who would never even think of eating food that has been contaminated, will eagerly swap out their trustworthy King James Bible for a new Bible that has been contaminated by the Devil. Literally, people don't care about spiritual matters as much as they do about the food they eat. All the Devil needs to succeed is for People not to care. If you give the Devil an inch, he'll take a foot and become a ruler. If you drink beer, it'll drink you. Once you have money, it has you. That's the way sin always works my friend. Sin will always cost you more than you intended to pay, take you farther than you wanted to go, and keep you longer than you planned to stay.

With all the false religions in the world today, Christians need to emphasize that the Biblical Gospel excludes all forms of self-righteousness and human effort. HUMAN EFFORT has no place in God's plan of salvation. Biblical repentance is a change of mind, not a change of life. The object of repentance in Mark 1:15 is to believe the Gospel. However, Lordship Salvationists have made repentance a separate matter from faith. To the false prophet, the object of repentance is to depart from iniquity and clean up one's life. Only then do you qualify to place your faith in Christ they say.

The Bible warns in Galatians 1:7-9 that anyone who adds human effort to God's simple plan of salvation is cursed, because they have corrupted the simplicity which is in Christ (2nd Corinthians 11:4-5). Jesus bore the burden of our sins on Calvary, so we wouldn't have to spend eternity being tormented in the fires of Hell. Believe oh sinner that Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again from the dead, and you will be saved (Acts 16:30-31).
