What Does The Bible Teach About "Synergy"?
by Sandy Simpson
Synergy is also a concept being adapted and taught today as a major tenet of the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement. Dutch Sheets was one of the first to introduce this concept to that movement back in the National School of the Prophets - Mobilizing the Prophetic Office Conference at Ted Haggard's New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO on May 12, 2002.

Christian Colleges and Seminaries in More Trouble Than Ever As Many Plunge Into Emergent Spirituality | by Lighthouse Trails, 1/30/20
?For nearly 18 years, Lighthouse Trails has been reporting on the slide that evangelical colleges, universities, and seminaries have been taking into the contemplative/emergent/ecumenical river. It would be great if we could say there's been a real turn around and things at these colleges are getting better. It would be great if we could say that your college-age child is safe in most Christian colleges today. And it would be great if we could say that these schools have realized the error of their ways and have made dramatic efforts to get back on the biblical course. Unfortunately, we cannot say any of these things because they simply are not true. We were once again reminded of how far off the track evangelical schools have gone when earlier this month we received an e-blast from Christianity Today announcing a 50%-off tuition special for qualifying students to Seattle Pacific University. That will sound very enticing to parents who are looking for Christian education for their college-age children at affordable rates. But let's take a glance at what these children will be introduced to if they attend Seattle Pacific University: At SPU's Center for Biblical and Theological Education, students will be introduced to various forms of contemplative spirituality, and faculty members are being trained to pass them on. For instance, in a 2019 faculty retreat syllabus, the list of activities at the retreat include lectio divina, praying with icons, sabbath keeping, Ignatian Spirituality, and Prayer of Examen. At the upcoming 2020 Winter Discernment Weekend, prospective students will be introduced to "Guided Prayer" and Lectio Divina. "Spiritual Formation" and contemplative spirituality are integrated throughout the spiritual infrastructure of SPU. Faculty Staff Bulletins are peppered with recommendation and accolades for Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, and numerous other hard-core mystics and panentheists.

And I Shall Be As God - The Big Lie: Men and Their Claims of Deity |
by G. Richard Fisher, 2/1/20
A. W. Tozer observed, ''What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.''1 The late cult apologist, Walter Martin, refashioning the Four Spiritual Laws made popular by Campus Crusade for Christ, had his Two Spiritual Laws: 1) There is only one God, and 2) You're not Him. To most, it is a logical proposition. No human is timeless and eternal with the ability to create from nothing. No human controls the universe. All humans are mortal and passing. The Bible is very clear that all of us are simply the ''offspring of God'' (Acts 17:28-29), meaning we are just creatures created by Him and that each one of us is part of the human family. We are mortal and only God Himself is eternal and immortal. However, some people have made the claim that they are indeed God on earth.

The Bible is clear that Eve was deceived and Adam sinned willfully, but they both sinned, being disobedient. Both had the same effect and judgment on them. They became ashamed, they knew their nakedness and were removed from the Garden they lived in. At times Branham would agree with the Bible. "Adam sinned willfully. See? See, Eve was actually deceived." (55-0227A, The Position Of A Believer In Christ, Shriner Temple, Phoenix, AZ) Over all Branham did not agree with the bible and taught the opposite. "Eve did not sin. Adam sinned. That's right. Not Eve, Adam sinned. See? Not Eve, she was the one who did the act, but Adam done the sinning. The woman was deceived. The Bible said she was deceived" ..."Now, remember, Eve did not sin. Adam sinned. That's right. Not Eve, Adam sinned." (56-1209A, God Making His Promise, Brooklyn Academy Of Music, Brooklyn, NY) Branham made a large point of Eve not sinning but instead was only deceived. But he could not hold the line and said just as many times that Eve did sin.
