Transition

I'm in the process of transitioning this site over to a new host.  The site should pretty much look the same, but the new host gives me more powerful blogging options.  You can now view this site @:  http://churchpress.org/hereticconfessions. I've recently added two more posts entitled: The Prosperity Gospel Revisited (Part 1) The Kingdom Has …

The Prosperity Gospel

I used to be pretty anti-prosperity Gospel.  I never subscribed in a "poverty Gospel either," but I've been doing a lot of thinking about the subject after reading the following (found here): Anyone who knows me, knows of my disdain for the prosperity gospel. The people who preach this gospel are wolves in sheep’s clothing.  Watch this …

Appeasement Theology (Part 4)

Ok, so we're going to go back and visit Appeasement Theology, because it keeps popping up.  I was talking with a group of teens the other day about the exclusive claim of Jesus -that He was and is the only way to get into heaven, and it was received with mixed emotions.  Mainly that it …

I Don’t Believe In Atheists

It's true!  I don't believe they exist.  There is no such thing as someone who doesn't believe in a sovereign god.  I don't care how much evidence you want to provide trying to validate their existence - I cannot believe that any person is a true atheist.  Atheists do not exist.  They're not real.  If …

Appeasement Theology Is Hinduism

In a conversation with someone regarding their Appeasement Theology, they made a comment about how Jesus was god to the Christian, just as Vishnu was god to the Hindu, just as Allah was god to the Muslim.  The man claimed that we were all worshipping the same thing - god.   It was interesting to me his choice of Vishnu in comparison to …

Appeasement Theology (Part 3)

Appeasement theology is not heresy, but rather apostate.  It denies the deity of Christ. In a conversation with someone recently regarding their apostate views that I've deemed Appeasement Theology, they made the following comment: ". . .I believe no one religion has a monopoly on truth. In the final analysis, we are all blind men trying …

Get A Job!

My mom and I have this ongoing debate about my responsibility to provide for my family. She says: "the Bible says that if you don't have a job you don't eat!" But I respond:  "I thought it says if you don't work you don't eat?" In America we think of work as getting a job.  But …

The Sinner’s Prayer

In CT there is an article entitled "Jesus and the Sinner's Prayer," questioning the current popular view of how to obtain salvation.  The sinner's prayer.  The article notes that Jesus never invites or instructs someone to pray a "sinner's prayer" or "invite Him into their hearts."  In fact in 2 different instances Jesus says to obey …

Appeasement Theology (Part 1)

There is a new form of theology that has been infiltrating even the most conservative of churches, that I believe is not theology at all, but rather apostate.  This way of thinking is something I've chosen to deem "Appeasement Theology." I'm sure that this post will offend a lot of folks who subscribe to this way …

Once Saved?

I don't want to start a debate here, because I currently sit on both sides of the fence. There has been an ongoing debate about "Once Saved, Always Saved." The question is: "Can one lose their eternal salvation, or once they come to faith in Christ are they guaranteed to enter into heaven? I would …
