Texas "Christian" University Cancels Plan for Gay Student Housing

Texas Christian University has for now scrapped plans for a gay-themed student housing, pending a review by the school's officials. (yeah but their decision had nothing to do with the fact that Homosexuality is a SIN)

The university's chancellor, Victor J. Boschini, Jr., announced the cancellation in a statement Monday, saying university officials 'will assess whether the concept of housing residential students based on themes supports the academic mission of the institution, as well as our objective to provide a total university experience.'

The DiversCity Q community was set to launch this fall as part of the Tom Brown-Pete Wright apartments. Eight students had signed up to join the community which would have been opened to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students and their supporters.

The themed housing was part of a new initiative by the university's Office of Residential Services and Living Learning Communities to allow students to create their own community based on shared interests."

Most American Christians Do Not Believe that Satan or the Holy Spirit Exist

A new nationwide survey of adults’ spiritual beliefs, conducted by The Barna Group, suggests that Americans who consider themselves to be Christian have a diverse set of beliefs – but many of those beliefs are contradictory or, at least, inconsistent.
The survey explored beliefs about spiritual beings, the influence of faith on their life, views of the Bible, and reactions to faiths other than their own.

Views on Spiritual Beings

The Barna survey asked questions about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Satan, and demons.

All 1,871 self-described Christians were asked about their perception of God. In total, three-quarters (78%) said he is the ‘all-powerful, all-knowing Creator of the universe who rules the world today.’ The remaining one-quarter chose other descriptions of God – depictions that are not consistent with biblical teaching (e.g., everyone is god, god refers to the realization of human potential, etc.).

For the other survey items a four-point opinion scale was used to measure people’s reactions to statements about each spiritual entity.

Four out of ten Christians (40%) strongly agreed that Satan ‘is not a living being but is a symbol of evil.’ An additional two out of ten Christians (19%) said they ‘agree somewhat’ with that perspective. A minority of Christians indicated that they believe Satan is real by disagreeing with the statement: one-quarter (26%) disagreed strongly and about one-tenth (9%) disagreed somewhat. The remaining 8% were not sure what they believe about the existence of Satan."

Survey: Slim Majority of Dutch Know Easter is Christian Holiday

Slightly more than half of Dutch nationals know that Easter is a Christian holiday, revealed a new survey published this past Thursday.

Furthermore, only 15 percent of Dutch nationals correctly identified Good Friday as the day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

The study had surveyed 12,000 Dutch nationals about the Easter holiday.

In contrast, the vast majority of the American public knows the meaning of Easter."

The Shack's False Godhead

The Shack is being advertised as THE book that will help you "see God as you never seen him before". (that's an understatement!)

Below is a simple graphic that shows you the unholy trinity at the heart of The Shack.

In The Shack 'god' the father is an African American WOMAN called Papa (a goddess!), 'god' the son is a plain looking Middle Eastern man with a big nose and 'god' the spirit is a small, delicate little Asian girl (another goddess!). The Shack also teaches the heresy of modalism and is chock full of other serious doctrinal errors.

Sadly, Christians are buying this book in droves and claiming that it's changed their lives or opened their mind to new ideas about God. But, this book teaches false doctrine, false theology and a false triune godhead and the author has publicly rejected the doctrine of Sola Scriptura.

This is not the one True God of the Bible and Christians should not read this book in their quest for finding spiritual truths because the false teaching is so bad and so dangerous that this book can only be classified as 'spiritual poison'.

Heed the warnings of scripture.

2Th. 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Is There a Financial Scandal Brewing at the LCMS?

Yesterday, LCMS President Gerry Kieschnick claimed that the reason for canceling the Issues Etc. radio program was because it was losing $250,000 per year. Those close to the story are challenging this figure and point to the fact that the Issues Etc. radio program was the only show on KFUO AM that encouraged listeners to financially support their efforts. But Now, the other shoe may have just dropped. The Save the LCMS website has just uncovered documents that show that Kieschnick's administration has been losing millions of dollars and has been borrowing from other ministry budgets to pay for operating expenses as well as a pet project called Ablaze. For more information on this potential financial scandal read this post entitled Kieschnick Paid for Ablaze by Borrowing MILLIONS from Other Ministry Budgets

New Breed of False Prophets With False Signs and False Wonders

Here is a video produced by Extreme Prophetic, a so-called signs and wonders ministry. In this video Patricia King (false prophetess) is claiming that Joshua Mills (false prophet) gets an angel (never shown) that comes to him and releases the 'glory from heaven' in the form of sapphire and diamond glitter as well as anointing oil flowing from his hands.

Anyone with half a brain and even a little Biblical discernment can tell these are nothing more than cheap magic tricks designed to separate you from your money, all in the name of God of course.

Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori On Homosexuality

Notice that "Bishop" Schori uses the EXACT same arguments to defend homosexuality that liberals and Emergents use to support women's ordination. The two, many times, go hand in hand.

Has Christian Music Sold Its Soul?

This video is a short segment of footage from a Christmas concert that Christian Singer Jaci Velasquez performed in. Look at what her backup singers are NOT wearing. Wasn't the entire purpose of having a Christian Music Industry is that the artists would be Christians, behave like Christians, and be better role models for our children than the sluts and gangsters we see in secular music?

Hagee Denies That Jesus is the Messiah!

Here are some quotes taken directly from Hagee's book.

If God intended for Jesus to be the Messiah of Israel, why didn't he authorize Jesus to use supernatural signs to prove he was God's Messiah, just as Moses had done? (p. 137)

Jesus refused to produce a sign ... because it was not the Father's will, nor his, to be Messiah. (p 138) If Jesus wanted to be Messiah, why did he repeatedly tell his disciples and followers to "tell no one" about his supernatural accomplishments? (p. 139)

The Jews were not rejecting Jesus as Messiah; it was Jesus who was refusing to be the Messiah to the Jews. (p. 140)

They wanted him to be their Messiah, but he flatly refused. (p. 141)

He refused to be their Messiah, choosing instead to be the Savior of the world (p. 143)

Jesus rejected to the last detail the role of Messiah in word or deed. (p. 145)
