"Blasphemizing" The Bible
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article. I am going to go over an article I wrote back in 2006 in preparation for the book I wrote with Mike Oppenheimer called "Idolatry in Their Hearts". This book is an apologetic against the false teachings of the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People movement, the Emerging Church and the New Apostolic Reformation which got their ideas from the book "Eternity in Their Hearts" by Don Richardson. At the time that book came out no one really saw the dangerous ideas Richardson was promoting. All they would have had to do was look at the two subtitles of that book to understand the implications. The first subtitle in the 1981 edition read: The Untold Story of Christianity among Folk Religions of Ancient People. Those who read this book found some interesting cross-cultural ideas but apparently missed the false premise of the book starting with the subtitle. How could Christianity be "among folk religions" where the Gospel had not been preached (Rom. 10:14-15)? At that time Christians who read the book were apparently satisfied that, though there was some questionable material present, it made for an interesting discussion on how to do cross-cultural ministry. The subtitle it has today, which was first published in 1984, is as follows: Startling Evidence of Belief in the One True God in Hundreds of Cultures Throughout the World. This should have been a red flag for many Christians but then, who reads subtitles? But how could the "One True God" be known to Gentiles who, the Bible states, did "not know God".

July/August 2013
To play the culture card you have to "mix and match." Having put the focus on the culture as "evangelism" bait you find you then need the new and brighter and bigger bait. But then the unintended consequence - the bait itself becomes the message. This is a sign of the death of a movement. It is tacit acceptance that the Gospel is insufficient in itself without cultural additives and adaptations. We are informed we need the new and improved version of our Gospel line in order to make the sale to a culture of addicted consumers.

An Evaluation of Muslim Dreams & Visions of Isa (Jesus) Part 1
|
by Dennis McBride 
Think On These Things
June/July 2013
Volume 19, Issue 3
Much confusion surrounds the numerous stories coming from Islamic people concerning their dreams and visions leading to conversions. "Think on These Things" published an article by Richard Fisher in 2008 entitled "Don't You Believe It." The next two issues will be composed of an article written by Pastor Dennis McBride. I believe Pastor McBride has done an excellent and thorough job of analyzing these experiences in the light of Scripture.

In the last several weeks Moriel has received multiple inquiries and flat out expressions of serious concern regarding the eschatological paradigm of Paine & Ware. The source of this teaching (which we can only conclude to be erroneous and dangerous) on the important subject of the return of Jesus is the hypothesis postulated by Frank Paine and Arthur Ware in the last century derived from their writings "Restored Vision" and "Miracle of Time".

Today's 21st Century "Christianity" - No Bible Required!
|
by Paul Proctor, 8/19/13 
This may come as a shock to most Christians, but if you do a search of the less contemporary translations of Scripture, the word "feelings" is virtually nonexistent. Where it does appear, it is cited as more of a superficial, even negative attribute than a positive; and yet, as we watch and listen to many from today's churches, be they leaders or laymen, not only do we see a clear fixation on feelings, both physical and emotional, we notice that those feelings have by and large become a replacement for faith. In fact, if you substitute the word "feelings" wherever you see the word "faith" in those older Bible versions, it will become clear to you what motivates and guides the average "Christian" today - point being: most of us are not following the Living Word of God by faith, we're simply following our feelings and calling it "faith."
