Uncovering the Myth of Spiritual Covering

“Spiritual covering” as theorized by those who teach, promulgate, and adhere to it is an absolute myth. No semblance of the version of “spiritual covering” taught by its proponents exists anywhere within the pages of Holy Writ (Scripture). I will take it a step further and state straightforwardly and unambiguously: “Spiritual covering,” in the vein that it is presented by its proponents and proliferators, is an unmitigated lie and complete myth! It is a complete fabrication concocted by the originators of these fallacious doctrines by which to facilitate and perpetuate their purely self‑aggrandizing objectives of subjugation, domination and control of the sheep of God’s Flock.

Your Spiritual Diet Could Be Killing You!

There is an increasing measure of unbelief in today’s churches. Weak faith, little faith and no faith is at an all-time high. Strong faith, exceedingly great faith, and the kind of faith that causes Jesus to marvel (Matt. 8:10) is at an all-time low.

Hyper-Grace — Reformation or Deformation?

There is a teaching becoming popular in Christendom today which is known by some of its adherents as the “Radical Grace” message (aka, “Hyper-Grace”). This message is being presented as a message of liberation from all the horrible legalistic bondage that “religious” Christians get caught up in when they struggle to overcome sin.

The New Gospel of Narcissism

According to a young lady named Angel, seen on a recent interview from the Charlotte pride event and self-identified as a straight Christian, “God put us on this earth to be happy, and if being gay makes someone happy, then go for it!” That is the logic of narcissism, the logic of what has been called “Generation Me” or the “Me First” generation: “God put us on this earth to be happy, and if (fill in the blank) makes someone happy, then go for it!”

33 Signs of Spiritual Abuse

Delineated and defined in this article are some of the signs and symptoms, or common characteristics, of hyper-authoritarian groups, churches, networks, and ministries. Often, these are the symptoms of a church or group laboring under the heavy-hand of hyper-authoritarianism. That is to say, the leadership is dominating, controlling, and manipulating their followers, and exploiting them for their own personal gain and private kingdom-building. Wholesale abuse and misuse of authority is an integral part of the very foundation, fabric, and functions of such groups. Culturally and systemically, such “churches” are nothing more than demonic “Charismatic” cults, regardless of the modernized name of their organization, the Mission and Faith Statements on their website, the worldly hypnotizing and mind-numbing so-called “worship,” aimed at alluring the spiritually naive, and the spiritual-sounding jargon comprising their group-speak.

The Fallacy and Ineffectiveness of the “Social Gospel”

If the social gospel is the right and correct gospel, then why has it not worked over the course of its 150 years of existence and successfully attained its stated goals? Why is abject poverty still pandemic among the masses of the world? Why is grinding urban privation in America still so prevalent, along with all the baneful and distressing effects and circumstances thereof. If the doctrines and dogmas of the social gospel are so true and well-conceived, their strategies and means of accomplishment so right and proper, why have they not worked over more than 150 years? Why is the abortion rate among blacks at an astounding 51%? Why is the black population in American gradually decreasing rather than increasing? Why are the unemployment and public assistance dependency rates among blacks still so extremely high and increasing every day? The proof is in the pudding, the old adage reasons. Where’s the proof? Where’s the corroborating evidence of effectiveness that more than a century and a half should have produced for all to see?

A Dangerous and Deadly Deception

by Posted By Staff | Apr 1, 2013 | Apostasy, Church, Deception, Doctrine-Teaching, False Ministers, False Teaching, Hyper-Grace | 0

It is one thing to downplay the ugliness of sin in the life of a believer. It is another thing to deny the existence of sin in the life of a believer. Yet today, there are believers who claim that they do not sin, even when they do. As scary as this deception is, the reasoning behind it is even scarier.

The True Nature of Spiritual Idolatry

by Steven Lambert | Mar 13, 2013 | Apostasy, Idolatry, Sanctification, Spiritual Covering, Steven Lambert | 0

To merely call idolatry “sin,” though it certainly is, somehow seems an extreme understatement, for it is the ultimate affront unto God. Yet, arguably, it is the most pervasive sin of all today among professing believers. Contributing to the prevalence of idolatry within Christendom, no doubt, is the common perception by many that idolatry is something that occurs only in underdeveloped, far-away, foreign lands, or that it is something relegated mostly to ancient civilizations of past ages, while nothing could be further from the truth.

The Danger of Zeal Without Knowledge

by Steven Lambert | Mar 23, 2006 | Deception, Discernment, False Ministers, False Teaching, Idolatry, Steven Lambert | 0

A rather ironic and curious characteristic of the idolatry of false teaching is that essentially it is “zeal without knowledge.” It is quite common for those caught in the throes of deception and false doctrine to be quite zealous and ardent in their spiritual pursuits. Wherever false teaching is being promulgated, the perpetrators and adherents commonly are fervently dedicated to their church-group and its purposes, beliefs, and goals. In fact, it is this zealousness by participants in aberrant and cult-like religious groups that makes it extremely difficult for concerned observers to: one, fully recognize and realize the existence of error and errancy; two, to take serious the potential for spiritual and psychological injury and ruin; and, three, to recognize the need for and actually effect appropriate remedial action.
