The online apologetics and discernment work Apprising Ministries has been documenting the growing falling away of the mainstream evangelical community. I’ve also warned you that there is a tsunami of apostasy—pushed along by 1 Peter 4:17 judgments—headed toward the church visible. Not a few of these judgments have come through evanjellyfish’s foolish embrace of the sinfully ecumenical Emergent Church aka the Emerging [...]

No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. (1 Corinthians 10:20-21) Islam [...]

By Apprising Ministries correspondent Jim Luppachino of Watcher’s Lamp: Pastor Terry Jones of Gainesville, Florida is yet another “Christian” pastor who has fallen into the trap of turning his back on the pastor’s Biblical role and turned his pulpit into a political stage. This time, lives may be in the balance. He and his “church” [...]

Pastor Larry DeBruyn begins this piece by saying: Some Christians naively and mistakenly equate that because Christianity and Islam are monotheistic faiths (belief in one God), Christians and Muslims worship the same God. Any differences between the two religions are viewed to be only apparent, not actual. Only the names are different. Muslims call Him [...]

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that [...]

Well now, it sure looks as if we’ve discovered that the Progressive Christians of the Jesus Seminar and the new reformation of Emergence Christianity are not the only ones who are selectively and subjectively dealing the text of Scripture.
