National Religious Broadcasters Using Oneness Modalist Heretic TD Jakes To Get Out The Vote

Driving to work this morning viewing the effects of the terrible thunderstorms that spared my neighborhood but hard hit the one right next to mine, I was listening to Christian radio. Out of the blue comes TD Jakes’ booming voice. In it, he first speaks of how much he loves America and so forth. I immediately thought of Jakes doing this to exploit anger over Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama, and Jeremiah Wright’s considerably less than jingoistic statements and actions. Then he went into his exhortation spiel for people to register and get out to vote. 

First, I see Lifeway Bookstores, owned by the Southern Baptist Convention, selling TD Jakes’ doctrinal error (oneness pentecostalism and the Word of Faith/prosperity doctrine are but a few of his MANY problems) and now the National Religious Broadcasters are using this guy. I had been using the NRB as a sort of a refuge from the blatant charismania that you will find on The Word Network, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Daystar, etc. So I just ignored the heavy Pat Robertson presence on the channel, as well as their “white Europeans are the descendants of the children of Israel … the Danube River is so named because of the tribe of Dan” show that comes on early in the morning. I also ignored their embrace of the Ellen White Seventh Day Adventist cult. So I suppose that I cannot cast NRB aside on Jakes’ account, since the ones that I just named are hardly better - if anything some might be worse - or else I would be reacting out of a personal dislike for Jakes rather than on principle. (On the other hand, Slice of Laodicea has criticized NRB, albeit for different reasons, such as this post stating that not one red cent of NRB’s $5 BILLION IN ASSETS is being used to defend the faith from Oprah Winfrey.)

Incidentally, speaking of TD Jakes and PR spots, he has another one out (I did not catch the sponsor!) promoting single sex education, saying that “boys need their own schools so that they will be able to, you know, romp and stuff (his choice of words not mine!) and that boys learn differently from girls and needed their own classrooms in order to be accommodated. So … it looks like Jakes is not that far removed from Jeremiah Wright’s separatist doctrines after all? 

I have to be honest, back when I was part of the religious right and allowing my worldview to be shaped by the Washington Times and the National Review, I was in full agreement. But now … I just recall reading about this inner city public school that went all male. Sure, the discipline problems decreased and the test scores went up. But when they interviewed the boys that attended the school, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WANTED THEM TO BRING THE GIRLS BACK! Why? Because, er … BOYS LIKE GIRLS! Or at least they are supposed to anyway. Perhaps now that T.D. Jakes is on board with the new world order’s gay rights agenda (and yes this is relevant … perhaps due to his son) he thinks it is OK. To me, the whole single sex education thing … who wants it? Certainly not the kids. Not the administrators or teachers. Parents go for it only because they are desperate for any hook or angle to improve the failing school systems that the government is ruining on purpose. Not even the old fashioned religious sorts - of which I am one - think that it is a good idea anymore, where you were supposed to keep boys and girls separate in their little boarding or finishing schools (where they were supposed to look OH SO CUTE in their little uniforms I guess) UNTIL GRADUATION DAY WHEN YOU MARRY THEM OFF.

Sorry people, but society has changed. Not all of the changes have been for the good, but methinks that one of the most important things for a boy to learn from school is how to treat a lady and how to behave yourself in their presence. For some of us guys, those things do not come naturally, and you only learn them through trial and error. Especially error. (If you don’t learn to handle competition and rejection in junior high and high school, how on earth are you supposed to handle being turned down for jobs, promotions, college choices, etc. later in life?) So … HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO LEARN THOSE THINGS IF THERE ARE NO GIRLS AROUND TO LEARN THEM FROM? 

Like I said, TD Jakes may have his own reasons for wanting to turn your local public school into Morehouse College or similar, and whatever they are I oppose them 100%. All the more reason why the Southern Baptist Convention should not be selling this guy’s books and NRB shouldn’t be using him for their get out the vote campaign. But I suppose that this oneness anti - Trinitarian heretic is just too good at making money and moving public opinion for these people to pass up. That is, unless they are actually along with Jakes, on his side. After all, the Southern Baptists refuse to do anything about the likes of New Age heretic Erwin McManus and Council on Foreign Relations worker Rick Warren (and Richard Land too?), and as stated earlier, Al Sharpton Al Gore global warming propagandist partner Pat Robertson is a major partner with the NRB. 

Blaspheming Jesus Christ By Saying Nothing

www.liveprayer.com/signup.cfm

(Isaiah 53:7; Matthew 26:62-63; Psalms 22:6-8; Matthew 27:39-40)
Blaspheming Jesus while Christians say nothing. For many who reject the
Bible as Truth and Jesus Christ as their Savior, blaspheming our Lord is
something they do without conscience or any fear of repercussions.
Entertainers like Carlin, Maher, Rosie, and many others, have openly mocked
and blasphemed Christ their entire careers to the laughs and cheers of those
who listen to them. Others have used their God given gifts and talents to
publicly blaspheme the Lord through books, motion pictures, music, and art.
As the years have rolled by and the nation gets further away from God and
Biblical values, the blaspheming of Jesus gets more frequent, more bold, and
more disgusting. Men have used their imaginations to creatively blaspheme
the Lord in every possible way while Christians sit back in silence.

Paul Verhoeven, the director of “Basic Instinct” and other motion pictures,
will soon be releasing a biography of Jesus where he makes the shocking
claim that Christ probably was the son of Mary and a Roman soldier who raped
her during the Jewish uprising in Galilee and says that Christ was not
betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 original apostles of Jesus, as the
New Testament states. Verhoeven, who is Catholic and holds a doctorate in
mathematics and physics from the University of Leiden, was a regular
attendee of the Jesus Seminar. The seminar, something I have warned people
about for years, calls into question miracles and statements attributed to
Jesus in the Bible and rejects the divinity of Christ.

Also on the blaspheming Jesus front is B. Hussein Obama advisor Larry
Lessig, a Stanford University law professor, who includes in his lectures a
video of a ‘gay’ Jesus Christ sashaying nearly naked down a city street to
the tune of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” only to get run over by a bus,
( http://www.spike.com/video/2685131 ). Lessig stated that he used the
video over the last three years in the section of his talks which show
examples of ‘remix’ creativity. In addition to happily showing off
blasphemous images of Christ, Lessig is also known as a digital communist.
He believes there should be no such thing as intellectual property rights,
that patents and copyrights should be tossed.

Let there be no mistake, mocking Jesus is not a new phenomenon. There were
people who lived at the same time as our Lord who rejected Him, just like
there are people who reject Him today. We know from the Bible that in the
fulfillment of Scripture He was mocked and scorned in the last hours of his
life. So many of the supposed “lost books of the Bible” and these new
“gospels” are nothing more than the anti-Christian writings of men who
rejected the message of Christ and who He is. Those anti-Christian writings
have always existed throughout the last 2000 years, right up to today with
the modern day heretics like Dan Brown, the author of “The DaVinci Code” and
Michael Baigent , who wrote the equally blasphemous “Jesus Papers.” People
have mocked our Lord since the days He walked this earth.

What is new is the bold and fearless public attacks on our Lord throughout
the world today. I have told you often that the United States is no longer a
Christian nation. A classic example of that fact is the way those who hate
Jesus publicly mock Him. Just 10 years ago, no legitimate publisher would
print a book full of such vile lies about the Lord. Ten years ago, no law
school professor would be using such disgusting depictions of Christ in
their lectures. Ten years ago, a blasphemous book like “The DaVinci Code”
would have never sold tens of millions of copies like it has today. While
Madonna has made a career of mocking Christ and His church, even she has
taken her blasphemy to a new level by mocking the crucifixion.

I have done many Devotionals over these past 9 years on the boldness of
satan versus the timidity of Christians. Do you believe me now?

The natural question of course is what do we do about it? First, you can’t
blame those who put out these disgusting and blasphemous representations of
Jesus. Oh, don’t get me wrong, God WILL hold them accountable, but these are
people who have clearly rejected God, His Truth, and Jesus, so what do you
expect? They have given themselves over as instruments of unrighteousness so
they are actually only doing what comes naturally to them. How can you
really blame those who hate and reject the Lord from expressing that
rejection and hatred? Hear me carefully. They are not the problem, WE ARE
THE PROBLEM!

Maybe now you can understand why I hammer relentlessly on how Christians
have abandoned the marketplace for the comfort, safety, and oh yes, the
profitability of this Christian subculture we have created for ourselves. In
reality, we are in rebellion to God since the Bible doesn’t say separate
yourselves from the world, it actually COMMANDS us to do the exact opposite!
What we are seeing with the open and public mocking of Jesus is one of the
results of our abandoning the culture of our day and leaving it to the
devil. He operates virtually without any opposition so why are we surprised
that he has taken his hatred and scorn for Jesus to the extremes we witness
today? Let me warn you my friend, it is only going to get worse!

The answer to this blaspheming of our Lord is to get back into the
marketplace and start taking a stand for Christ. Each follower of the Lord
can do their part each day where you live, where you go to school or work,
where you shop, in the recreational activities you are involved in, and with
the people God brings across your path. You take your stand by living a
Godly and holy life. You take your stand by not being afraid to speak up for
our Lord when you are around people who are speaking against Him. You take
your stand by finding ways to serve Him You can’t stop the mockers, but you
can make sure their message of hatred for our Lord does not go
unchallenged!!!

I love you and care about you so much. For anyone who loves Jesus, it has to
break your heart to see how our Lord and Savior is portrayed by those who
hate Him. I have no doubt Jesus is looking down and saying “Father forgive
them, for they know not what they do.” The reality is, Paul Verhoeven ,
Larry Lessig, Madonna, Dan Brown, and all those who blaspheme Jesus will die
one day. At that moment they will be standing before God their Creator to be
judged. If they die rejecting the Lord, the Bible says they will be cast
into everlasting darkness.

I believe the last thing they will see, the picture that will be with them
as they suffer for all eternity, will be that of King Jesus, the One they
openly mocked and scorned!!! Pray for these lost souls. Without the Lord in
their heart, they have allowed their lives to be used as agents of satan.
Don’t forget that there was a man named Saul of Tarsus who persecuted the
early church, killed Christians, yet that same Saul was visited by Jesus one
day and his life gloriously transformed. He became Paul and went on to live
one of the greatest Christian lives ever documented.

I pray that this will be a wake-up call for all Believers today. A wake-up
call that we have got to get back into the marketplace where we live each
day and boldly, without shame or compromise proclaim our faith in Christ. If
this doesn’t motivate you, nothing will. For too long, we have been
intimidated into keeping our mouths shut while those who live in rebellion
to God speak loud and bold without fear or conscience to promote their
ungodly lives and choices. Maybe this will give you some insight into my
drive and passion for what we do each day here at Liveprayer. Our number one
goal is to bring the lost to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Getting
people saved is the ultimate answer.

In addition to proclaiming the Gospel to the lost and bringing the hope of
Christ to the hurting, I am here to bring Biblical Truth back into the
marketplace. I can’t stop publishers from putting out disgusting lies about
our Lord, I can’t stop people from depicting our Lord in the most horrible
ways to make fun of Him, I can’t stop pop stars like Madonna from mocking
the crucifixion, I can’t stop people like Dan Brown from writing
anti-Christian books, but I can go out into that VERY SAME marketplace and
reach those VERY SAME people with the fact that their only hope and their
only answer is faith in Jesus Christ!

Those who hate our Lord are bold and courageous in taking their message of
hate to the masses. I challenge you today that if you love Jesus, you should
be even bolder and more courageous in taking the message of His love to
those same masses! While the world blasphemes our Lord, we have got to
praise Him!!!

In His love and service,
Your friend and brother in Christ,

On Barack Obama’s Universalism, John Edward, Homosexuality, McDonald’s And Fitna

*By Pastor Bill Keller

www.liveprayer.com/signup.cfm

McDonalds, John Edward, Obama, and FITNA. Today is an interesting day since
there are several different news items that I want to share with you. Each
is important since they all represent critical issues I have been dealing
with for years in the Daily Devotional. They are the mainstream acceptance
of homosexuality, those who claim to talk to the dead and people who claim
to be psychics, the lie that many think there are many roads which lead to
God, and the false religion of Islam. These news items simply reinforce
that these issues are not going away and how important it is to have a voice
in the marketplace to tell the Truth about each one.

It was recently announced that McDonalds Vice President of Communications,
Richard Ellis, has been named to the Board of the National Gay and Lesbian
Chamber of Commerce. McDonalds is listed on the website of the National Gay
and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce as a “corporate partner and organization
ally” for an undisclosed financial contribution. Ellis state, “I’m thrilled
to join the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce team and ready to get
to work. I share the NGLCC’s passion for business growth and development
within the LGBT community and I look forward to playing a role in moving
these important initiatives forward.”

Last week, I shared a Devotional with you that made the claim we have lost
the war to stop the sin of homosexuality from becoming accepted by the
mainstream. You don’t get any more mainstream than McDonalds, and it is
clear that the hamburger giant is more worried about having a relationship
with those who choose to engage in deviant forms of sex than with people of
faith. This stamp of approval by one of the world’s most visible
corporations, is another clear example of the fact that homosexuality is now
viewed by society as an acceptable choice. Like I have told you many times,
nobody fears the Christian community any longer since we are so fragmented
and have no unifying voice.

Our buddy John Edward is back. He is like Jason in those horror movies.
Edward has resurfaced in the strangest of places, the Home Shopping Network.
I have warned people for years about this charlatan who claims to be able to
talk to the dead. John Edward is at best a highly polished carnival act,
and at worst, operating in demonic powers. He is now on HSN, hawking 10
DVDs of his lies for $90. How sad it is to see people who are searching for
answers, looking for true hope, fall into the clutches of this con man who
leads them away from the real Truth, the Bible, and the real answer, Jesus.

My friend, the Bible condemns those who claim to be psychics, since only God
knows the future. The Bible tells us to not turn to mediums or seek out
spiritualists, or you will be defiled by them. We know that satan is an
“angel of light” and can do many deceptive things. However, the Word of God
tells us the dead no longer have any part of this life. John Edward and
those like him are NOT of God, they are enemies of God and tools of satan.
They are spiritual frauds who God speaks harshly against in the Bible. As a
matter of fact, in the OT people like Edward were commanded to be put to
death. This is how dangerous they are to others in the eyes of God.

Our friend, Senator B. Hussein Obama (for the record, it is his name, I
didn’t give it to him, his parents did), certainly didn’t even learn in 20
years of sitting in the pews at Trinity United Church of Christ what most
elementary school Sunday School students are taught. In a campaign stop
recently in Greensboro, North Carolina, Senator Obama told the audience that
he believes he “can have everlasting life” because Jesus Christ died for his
sins. But he then told a questioner that he believes Jews and Muslims who
live moral lives are just as much “children of God” as he is. He went on to
add that his late mother didn’t share his faith but was a kind and generous
person, so he’s “sure she’s in heaven.”

Sen. Obama has sadly bought into this universalistic lie from hell I warn
you about often, the dangerous lie the New Age gurus and the high priestess
of the New Age movement Oprah is telling millions, and that there are many
roads that lead to God, that faith in Jesus is NOT the only way to be saved.
I hate to break this to the Senator, but if his mother died without
accepting Jesus into her heart and life by faith, then like all who reject
Christ she is NOT in Heaven, but in the flames of hell for all eternity.
This is not a game! I try to tell people all the time that what we do each
day is literally battle satan for the souls of men. Satan wants people to
believe this lie that you can get to Heaven without Jesus, but he knows it
is a lie and that those who buy that lie will be with him in hell for all
eternity.

This is so critical since now this lie is being preached from many pulpits.
You have Christian churches now who endorse this notion that God will
understand and as long as you are a “good person” and do your best, you will
make it to Heaven. The Bible proclaims that there is NONE that is good, no
not one. It says that we have ALL sinned and fallen short of the glory of
God. God has given us His plan, His ONLY PLAN for salvation, and that is by
putting our faith in Jesus Christ, since it was Jesus who died as the
payment for our sins. There are not many roads that lead to God, only one,
faith in Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which men are saved!

Lastly is FITNA, the movie about Islam produced by Dutch politician Geert
Wilders. I have done dozens of press interviews the past few days after the
UK video hosting company LiveLeak chose to pull the movie from their servers
due to the death threats their employees were getting. Liveprayer had a
copy and I had it on my website, on my servers, the only website in the
world that had the movie in its entirety. The press all wanted to know why
I would put such a movie on a Christian website, a movie that many claim is
anti-Muslim.

What Wilders did was excellent, in that he took the very words Muslims
follow in their teachings, and showed them following those words as they
carried out their acts of hatred and killing. These are not a few isolated
acts of terror, but how Muslims worldwide operate. It is visual proof of
what this false religion of hate and death is really all about, and that is
why they are doing everything they can to hide it from the world. It has
only been in the past few years with the advent of 24/7 cable news, advanced
satellite technology, and the Internet, that people around the world,
especially here in the United States, are being exposed to how this false
religion has operated during its 1400 year history.

Let me give you a great contrast between the false religion of Islam and the
Christian faith. People are born into or intimidated into joining the false
religion of Islam. People CHOOSE to become a follower of Christ. Islam is
about hate and death. Christianity is about love and life. People need to
wake up and understand the nature of this very real threat to not just the
Untied States, but to the entire world.

I love you and care about you so much. Today is a great reminder of a
number of issues I have been talking to you about for many years now. As
you can see, they are still pressing issues since the church has chosen to
ignore them and continues to focus mainly on preaching to the choir in the
comfort, safety, and profitability of the “Christian trough,” while the
world around us is dying and going to hell. Homosexuality is now mainstream
because the church didn’t have the guts to speak out against this sin.
Sadly, you now have many churches who instead of speaking the Truth about
this sin, have simply accepted and condoned homosexuality to be like the
rest of our fallen world.

Hurting people continue to turn to scam artists and false hope merchants
like John Edward in their time of need, because he at least acts like he
cares about them and is part of their world. High profile Christians like
B. Hussein Obama propagate the lie from hell that you don’t really need to
accept Jesus as your Savior by faith to make it to Heaven. People are
asleep or totally apathetic about the real threat Islam is to this nation
and world, and have been bullied into believing that there are simply a
handful of Muslims who perpetrate all of these violent acts of terror around
the world. The fact is, all Muslims read from the same holy book and follow
the teachings of their murdering pedophile false prophet Muhammad.

I pray today that you are stirred to take your stand in this lost world for
Christ. God has called each of His children to do their part where He has
you planted for this season. Staying silent is no longer an option, since
that is how this nation has turned from Biblical Truth to the lies of the
world and from honoring the God of the Bible to rejecting Him for the false
gods and idols of the world. May the Lord give you a sp
