On KBRT, a Los Angeles area Christian radio station, listeners may be caught unawares by very un-Christian teaching being broadcast on weekends. Dr. Jones takes a look at the spiritual roots of some of these broadcasts and their hosts, revealing the One-ism hidden beneath the surface.
Gnosticism in the Mainline
Mainline Decline “One of our finest hours was when our Presbyterian Publishing House, Westminster Press, published books on the death of God theology.” Thus spoke the 1996-97 moderator of the PCUSA, as he accepted the 1996 Alumnus of the Year award from Chicago Divinity School. This “finest hour” helped promote a sustained and growing rejection […]
Ephesians 6: Spirit Wars
On September 30, 1938, Chamberlain [that’s Neville not Wilt] returned from Munich having granted Hitler virtually all his demands including the right to annex the Sudetenland, a large chunk of Czechoslovakia. As he walked on the tarmac he waved the agreement in the air and proclaimed “peace with honour,” and spoke of “peace in our […]
The Paganization of New Testament Studies
INTRODUCTION Given the institutions where I have taught during my professional life, it is appropriate to begin my overview of the Paganization/Gnosticization [2] of New Testament Studies with a quote from J.

The culture’s definition of […]
Shifting Sands

On March 29th, Dr. Anthony Fauci estimated that the US might see between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths before the crisis fades.[1] Christians must yet remain calm, asking God to give us […]
An Elephant Called Fear
by Rebecca Jones | April 8, 2020But if we are to chase the elephant of fear out of our churches, we must allow God to face it down through the power of his love. “God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of love, of power, and of a strong mind” (2 Timothy 1:7).

Spirituality: Mindfulness or the Mind of Christ
by Joshua Gielow | March 23, 2020Mrs. Pamela Frost gives a most useful and dense comparative contrast between pagan “Mindfulness” and “the Mind of Christ,” showing clearly how the Mind of Christ distinguishes between the Creator and creation, while Mindfulness blurs distinctions and leads people into the pagan lie of “nonduality.” Eastern spiritualties work against having our minds set on Christ.
