Dominionism!
by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp & Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled ""Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change The World". In contrast to this specious claim we have titled this book "Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The Churches". We think that is far more in keeping with what we will present in this series of articles and essays on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been changed by accepting the false teachings that constitute Dominionism. This started decades ago under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The attempt of Constantine to protect Christians from being persecuted, since he claimed he had become one of them, turned out to begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It wasn't long before corrupt church officials began to try to seize power all over Europe and beyond as the "Holy Roman Empire". The Reformation itself was a reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had gone to take control over the Scriptures, the nations, the kingdoms, and the people for financial gain. They sold indulgences, promising those who came up with enough money a much shorter time in Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used today on what has been loosely called "Christian television" by the sale of trinkets and promises of healing, financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in Dominionism. If it were true that the Church needs to take over the planet, then we would be seeing the unstoppable plans of God's physical Kingdom unfolding. But we do not. All we see are failed prophecies, empty edicts and declarations coming from false apostles and false prophets. They love to fool Christians with talk of the "kingdom" when it is clear they are talking about a different "kingdom"; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom come. Jesus taught us to pray: "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven". The implication is that we are to be about building His spiritual Kingdom while praying for and expecting His physical Kingdom to come. The only way we can do that is to continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not attempt to rule where God has not given the Church the authority to rule. Jesus will do that when He returns. If we go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go, we will not only miss out on the blessings of His Kingdom to come, but may well be deserving of judgment.
This book is online and available as a download at this time for $15. The printed version will be available in about a month and will be $20. each.

DITC e-Newsletter
Volume 70, Issue 1 |
Dear Friends,
There is a missionary to India who asked me if I had any information on Benny Hinn he could take with him to help many there who are deceived by false prophets. I told him I would send him the DVD we made some years ago about him. That is when my computer problems started. About a week later I finally got the DVD made and my computer fixed. This has happened all the way from the first making of the DVD will now. I believe this was another attack of the enemy to prevent people from seeing the truth about people like Hinn. This is why your prayers for this ministry are so crucial.

Principles of Persecution |
by James Jacob Prasch, 6/4/18
When persecution comes, some people will stand that you would not expect. Other people will fall away, whom you think would stand. It is amazing to read the history of the English martyrs in "Foxe's Book of Martyrs," and see those people you thought would have stood, but who ran away; and other people who you thought would have run away, but they stood. God judges the heart. He knows what is really in us. If there is one thing that is going to bring out what is really in us, it is persecution. When persecution comes, we are really going to find out who is who. Fire brings out what is inside someone.

Combating Error-Whose Job Is It? (in answer to "Francis Chan Warns Those Who Criticize Christian Leaders: "God Will Destroy You.") |
by Victor Scipioni, 6/7/18
But where does combating error fit in to pleasing God? It fits in through obeying the instructions in His Word to do so. We are told specifically to be prepared at all times and in all seasons to rebuke those who do not adhere to sound teaching (doctrine). That constitutes combating error. Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. (2 Timothy 4:2-3) Combating error is a fight in which we must be willing to engage just like a boxer contends to try to win the title belt from the one who holds it. It is necessary.

What is the Queen James Bible? |
by GotQuestions.org, 6/9/18
Answer: The Queen James Bible (QJV), also called the "Gay Bible," is an edit of the biblical text done in the name of preventing "homophobic interpretations." To accomplish this goal, the publishers printed a Bible in which all negative references to homosexuality have been removed. The Queen James Bible was published in 2012 and is based on the 1769 edition of the King James Bible.
