Personality Profile of Faith Leaders: Questions of Dicsussion

 Why is there a need to address the personality of Faith leaders? There are some within the Faith movement who are not well mentally. They are charismatic leaders who appear to be normal but they are abnormal. Such personality can range from passive aggressive personality to aggressive personality. It depends upon the degree of such chronic illness. Also, it appears to be healthy, but are "unhealthy." Some of these people can be so polish on the outside, but damage on the inside. They can say all the right things even to the point of being persuasive they can convince their followers of narrative and outright lies. (2 Cor. 11:3) Throughout this article I will begin to ask a series of questions that will shed light concerning the DNA Personality of Faith Leaders in chapter 10 of my book, "The Prosperity Gospel: Where Did It Come From?" These will be a Questions of Discussion. I would encourage many of my readers who have already purchased my book as well as those wil...

The "Coded" Language of the Prosperity Gospel

 There are "coded" languages that are communicated with those who are within the world of the health and wealth gospels known as the prosperity faith movement! First, we would think that by the prosperity faith movement being exposed by those who critical of this particular outside of the Word of Faith movement that it would have settled the case. Even though there are books that are critical of the "health and wealth" gospel for example the Health, Wealth & Happiness authors David W. Jones and Russell S. Woodbridge address the historical, biblical, and its theological analysis. But, yet, the "coded" language of this particular movement have not been addressed. (2 Cor. 11:3)  In order to reach those who are entrap within this particular movement known as the "health and wealth" that comes in the form as the Word of Faith is to break into its "coded" language. The only people who can understand such "coded" language is that...

The Insurrection of the Heath and Wealth Gospels within the Church Today!

 Just on today I heard on a local radio station here in Atlanta that the Host interviewed a guest on its program. It was the particular guest promotion of her book promoting but utilize such memorable statement "It is your health the promotes wealth." I thought about it for a moment by which the guest distorted the biblical text of 3 John 2. She's going further to talk about spiritual laws, principles by which she encourages her listening audience to follow. In so many words in order for people to be prosperous or to be "healthy" is to follow such principles and spiritual laws. What immediately came to my memory in how many Faith televangelists will contend that God is subject to the laws of the spiritual by which to create the universe. In turn many Faith Christians must utilize the same spiritual laws by which to create the world of their own desires. Also, in so many words what you say is what you create. You must speak such faith-filled words in order to cre...

What is the A, B, C's of the Gospel?

 There is a misunderstanding of the gospel message! There is in no way that the gospel message is equated with the law or that of the law and the gospel. The law reveals to who we are in light of our own self-righteousness: that we are not able to live up to the standards of the law. The purpose of the law is to reveal the sinfulness of the hearts of people. The law is our schoolmaster by which it leads the self-righteous person to Christ, but that the law cannot save. We are justified by trusting in Christ for our salvation. As if things doesn't get any worse is that many legalists within the professing church will convince believers that even though they are saved there are steps by which maintain that of our salvation by keeping man-made rules and regulations. (Gal. 3:1) It goes to say that we can live perfectly by the law by the Spirit's indwelling. Moral perfectionism, moral plank, sanctimoniousness, and sacreligious are apostate doctrines by which it is taught by demons. ...

Preface: Guarding the Truth of the Gospel

 The church's responsibility is to guard the truth! In turn God have also entrusted the elders who are undershepherds in preserving the message of the gospel. The reason for such is that there is an array of false teachings that are circulating throughout the church today by which contemporary evangelicals have in fact followed suit. Paul to Timothy says that there are going to be people who are not going to put up with sound doctrine but they will be selectice of false teachers who are going to tell them what their itching ears wants to hear. As a result of not desiring to hear solid biblical truth that they will turn away from it be giving heed to falsehood. (2 Tim. 4:3-4) It is unfortunate that many pastors who because of pressure cave into telling people what they want to hear; not what they need to hear. Whenever churches especially church leaders are committed to teaching the truth of God's Word will in fact anticipate persecution and sufferings.  When it comes to guardi...

Preface: Awake? Or Woke? How Language and Culture Collide

Can you imagine going into a foreign country without knowing the language and culture of the people there!  There are people who think that they can go anywhere throughout the world as if people from other countries speak the same language along with having to be brought up within the same culture. Every culture has its own different language by which culture and language go hand in hand with each other.  There are culture wars among leading evangelicals who are ignorant of the language and culture by which they accuse each other of abandoning the gospel. It depends on their understanding of what the gospel is by which it becomes vague. Are they talking about the gospel of God's grace by which people are saved? Or is it perverted gospel by which it is based upon "mere" human works or accomplishment? The Social Justice and the Gospel advocates have so strongly accused the Woke church movement of deserting the gospel for what is the social gospel. The fact that people who s...
