THE WORLD-TILTING GOSPEL
“Wherever they went, the apostles and the early believers made the Lord Jesus Christ the issue. This carries through the entire book of Acts. They taught and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection (4:2), they gave powerful testimony to the resurrection of Jesus (4:33), they taught and preached Jesus as the Messiah (5:42), they preached the good news about Jesus’ name (8:12), told the good news about Jesus (v.35), proclaimed Jesus as the Son of God (9:20), proved that Jesus was the Messiah (v. 22), preached boldly in Jesus’ name (v. 27), preached the good news of peace through Jesus as Lord of all (10:36), preached Jesus as Lord (11:20), proclaimed Jesus as Messiah (17:3), testified that Jesus was the Messiah (18:5), showed by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah (18:28), testified to all about faith in Jesus (20:21), spoke about faith in Jesus (20:24), asserted that Jesus was alive (25:19), tried to convince Jews about Jesus from the Scriptures (28:23), and taught about Jesus with boldness (28:31–the last verse in the book.)”
“When we come to be gripped by the truth that Jesus is Lord, everything in our lives begins to shift. How we think, evaluate, cherish, make decisions, relate: Everything begins to change. There is a seismic shift, a sea change, and it echoes through every day of the rest of our lives. That shift both is, and is caused by repentance.”
“Genuine repentance–a genuinely changed mind- would issue, without fail, in a changed life.”
“Jesus was the aim and heart of their message.”

First Towering Truth: Declared Righteous: Justificaton
Horn has some VERY convincing arguments in many instances, and he has some rarely exposed research information. Horn is correct that Freemasonry and other secret orders want a new order of the ages using America as a springboard to do it and they are in deep alliance with the occult. This is highly seductive to the Bible believer who is interested in prophecy. His errors are that he accepts the Apocrypha (when even the Reformers didn’t view the Apocrypha as inspired of God) as equivalent to the Bible and refuses to expose the Vatican as a heretical church system explicitly. Horn supports the Apocrypha and the Book of Enoch as a means to promote his view on the Nephilim.
The Palestinian Jews or Jewish people in Israel never accepted the Apocrypha as inspired. Nor did the Samaritans. The Jews in Alexandria never officially accepted the LXX as canonical. The leading fathers of the Greek Church did not accept the Apocrypha as inspired writings. Principle lights among the Early Church Fathers rejected the idea of the inspiration of the Apocrypha. The book of Enoch and the Book of Jasher have tons of contradictions and aren’t divinely inspired of God. Jasher 18:9 states that one of the angels tells Abraham that Sarah will have a son, but Gen. 17:16 says that God told Abraham. In Jasher 42:30-41, Rachel talks to Joseph from the grave. This is of course necromancy and is an abomination unto the Lord (Deuteronomy 18:11-12). Tertullian admits that the Jews never accepted the Book of Enoch as authentic and that Christians of his time also rejected it. So, it isn‘t wonder that New Agers like the late Elizabeth Claire Prophet supports the Book of Enoch. In Chapter 40:9-10 of the Book of Enoch, it falsely says that the angel Phanuel can give eternally life to over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life: “…9 seen and whose words I have heard and written down?’ And he said to me: ‘This first is Michael, the merciful and long-suffering: and the second, who is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Raphael: and the third, who is set over all the powers, is Gabriel: and the fourth, who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.’ 10 And these are the four angels of the Lord of Spirits and the four voices I heard in those….”
The Bible is clear that Phanuel does not exist in the Scriptures. It’s blasphemy to say that an angel is set over the repentance of those who inherit eternal life. That statement in itself contradicts everything the Word of God teaches. We read in 1st Timothy 2:5 that Jesus Christ is the ONLY Mediator between God and men, not some angel named Phanuel… “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” Salvation is found ONLY in Christ Jesus, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” King David said in Psalm 62:6, “He (Jesus) only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.” Repentance is strictly between a man and Jesus Christ alone. Only Jesus died for our sins, and shed His blood to pay for them (1st Peter 1:18-19); therefore, we must be diligent to guard and defend against LIARS and imposters who would lead people to believe otherwise. 1st John 2:22 clearly indicts all Christ-deniers as LIARS, guilty before God. The Book of Enoch, on chapter 69:8-12 says that a being named Penemue told man to write in ink and paper, etc. which doesn’t exist in the Bible at all. The Book of Enoch teaches that 450 tall feet giants exist in the world via relations of angels plus women. There is no biblical or scientifically evidence of this reality.
*Tom Horn is promoting his new book on Prophecy in the News, called “The Researchers Library of Ancient Texts Volume 1. He and Gary Stearman say that these books are not on a par with the Bible….yet then go on to say that “these studies are on the front burner,” the “predictions are astonishing”, it is for “serious Bible researchers..”
I have come to believe that these studies are meant to distract from the simple truths we find in the books of the Canon. Satan’s plan is to distort truth of the Word of God and make people believe it has no power in itself. Seduction lies in wait as a promise of hidden knowledge only for those who are enlightened enough to find it. I reject all teachers or pastors who promote these books, hidden codes, esoteric knowledge or long lost texts. I accept only those teachers who are faithful to God’s Word in the canon and who guard and shepherd the small flock by teaching the Bible and its truth and applications so that we can find salvation and learn to live lives holy unto the Lord.

In an increasingly secular and ungodly culture, many Christians wonder about their role and duty. Should we lobby for rights that have traditionally belonged to us? Should we make every effort to implement a Christian agenda? Should we completely reform the government? The Bible speaks clearly about our duty, and it’s all about governingour character.
Over a quarter of a century ago the late apologist and Christian thinker Francis Schaeffer asked the question, “How should we then live?” in his landmark book of the same title. The relevance of that question has not changed. If anything, it has only become more urgent for believers at the dawn of a new century and millennium.
Society has taken a nosedive into greater and greater evil, debauchery, violence, and corruption, and outside the church, the landscape seems filled with “modern barbarians.” The temptation is strong for believers to jump into the cultural fray as self-righteous social/political reformers and condescending moralizers. All the while those self-styled Christian activists forget or ignore their true mission in the world and completely miss the answer to Schaeffer’s question–an answer that God’s Word spells out quite clearly.

By Ronald Harnage
This subject opens a whole realm of questions that need to be addressed in order to arrive at a biblically sound conclusion.So I did what I always do with a difficult subject,I completely discarded my own ideas and approached it like I had not dealt with this subject before,so I examined it from every angle and balanced it against scripture,and what God has taught me through His word.There are two main camps of doctrinal beliefs surrounding this issue.After closely examining both and spending all morning trying to make their entire teaching of either fit into scripture I came up empty handed on both sides,neither of them will completely line up with God’s word.It goes back to what you often find in the church concerning two sets of doctrines,often times one is counterfeit and the other is religious,both of them having some truth and both of them being unreliable because they focus on some scriptures yet exclude others,the whole counsel of God has to be considered.So what do we have?
Lets start with the occultic infiltrations so that we can whittle down the confusion a bit. A lot of the basis for the Nephilim teachings are extra-biblical and primarily are focused on the book of Enoch.Let us consider first that the book of Enoch has never been a part of cannonical scripture.It wasn’t listed by the Jews in the Old Testament and I believe largely because it did not exist until the rise of Gnosticism that we see at the advent of Christianity,but lets start with the inception of it’s modern influence.
It begins with James Bruce,the discoverer of what is widely accepted as the book of Enoch.Rumors of a surviving copy of the book in 1773 sent the Scottish explorer James Bruce to distant Ethiopia in search of it. There he found the Ethiopic church had saved the book and kept it alongside of the other books of the Bible. Bruce was able to secure not one, but three copies of the Ethiopic book that he brought back to Europe and England. In 1821, Dr. Richard Laurence, an Oxford Hebrew professor, produced the first translation.
Richard Laurance,translator of the Book of Enoch had this to say about the timing of its writing-” Presuming therefore that the book before us,(Enoch) was a composition of some unknown Jew or Jews. I shall therefore consider what criteria afforded us to determine at what period it may have been written…There exists sufficient internal evidence to indicate that it was written long subsequent of the commencement and conclusion of the Babylonian captivity. This book was written a few years AT MOST before the begining of the Christian era.” The earliest Ethiopic text was apparently made from a Greek manuscript of the book, which itself was a copy of an earlier text. The original text appears to have been written in a Semitic language, now thought to be a dialect of Aramaic that is commonly asscoiated with the Essenes,who were a Gnostic sect.
New Agers,Luciferians and other occultists use the book of Enoch to indoctrinate the unsuspecting into occult mysticism.When I was in the occult the book of Enoch was actually the first book in my library. I had it for most of my occult career. Along with other Gnostic books such as the book of Moses(The Assumption of Moses and the Testament of Moses),and the Greater and Lesser keys of Solomon,they are highly regarded in the occult world.
I think one point you may find interesting is what is commonly known about Bruce in the occult world.Bruce was a disciple of Helena Blavatsky,who as you may recall I mentioned in my note “Inside the Occult 2”, that she was the first female member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn,and a colleague of Aleistar Crowley,the most famous satanist to date. Blavatsky created the first tenants of theosophy which were accepted as organised doctrines for Luciferianism.Blavatsky gave high praise to the book of Enoch and its author.In her book “The Secret Doctrine” volume 3-and I quote”Thus the book of Enoch is entirely symbolic.It relates to the history of the human race and their relation to theogony,(basically theogony is greek myths),the symbols being interblended with astrological and cosmic mysteries.” Blavatsky goes on to mention Bruce by name and grants him high regard and status in the occult world for his work.James Bruce introduced this book into the new age movement and it has long been known to be a Gnostic text.
Next question,who were the Gnostics? To put it simply the Gnostics were the first Qaballists to incorporate Christian themes, which were in turn perverted to suit their own beliefs.This they then combined with Greek mythology.What they produced was highly heretical literature that would be the first established beliefs in what would later be termed as luciferianism. Many of their writings perverted the diety of Christ and soveriengty of God,in fact making God the villain who was ejected from heaven and lucifer the maligned and misunderstood hero and true reigning god.
Qaballism goes back to ancient times,it is basically Jewish sorcery,where they have learned the paganistic practices of the heathen nations and incorporated it into their own culture,making their own cultural type of sorcery.
The Qabbalah itself consists of a large body of speculation on the nature of divinity, the creation, the origin and fate of the soul and also the role of human beings. It generally is subdivided into four sections: meditative, devotional, mystical and magical. It is for this reason that Qabbalah is regarded as an occultic offshoot of Judaism.
The gnosis of the Qabbalah is well recognized by Jewish scholars. From an article cited in the Jewish Encyclopedia, we see the intimate relationship between Gnosticism and the Caballa:The Jewish Encyclopedia quotes the opinion that “The central doctrine of Gnosticism,a movement closely tied to Jewish mysticism,was nothing else but the attempt to liberate the soul and unite it with God; but apparently this was to be affected through the use of mysteries,incantations and the use of the names of angels,(angel worship),..etc. It will be seen how widely even this phase of Gnosticism differs from Christianity and identifies itself with the magical Qabbalah of the Jews.”
You can see how at the outset Gnosticism completely abandons salvation through Jesus Christ,and places it solely in the hands of the practitioner to somehow obtain salvation through magical means,you could not possibly get any more occultic than this.
M.Matter states in Histor de Gnosticisme, that Jewish scholars fully understand that secret oral traditions of the Cabbalah were previous to any Christian Gnosticism.
In Some notes on various sects of Gnosticism and their possible affects on Freemasonry,D.F. Ranking notes that the secret oral tradition of the Cabbalists confirms them as being Gnostics.” This claim to a secret oral tradition confirms the conception of the Gnostics as Cabbalists and shows how far they had departed from Christian teaching.For if only in this idea of one doctrine for the ignorant and another for the initiated the Gnostics restored the very system that Christianity had come to destroy.”
Author Nesta Webster concurs with M. Matter and other historians that Gnosticism involved an attempt to Cabbalise Christianity….”M. Matter was therefore right in saying that Gnosticism was not a defection from Christianity,but a combination of systems into which a few Christian elements were introduced.The result of Gnosticism was not to Christianise the Cabbalah but to Cabbalise Christianity by mingling its pure and simple teaching with theosophy and even magic.”
I could include a great number of other secular historians and Jewish scholars that say the same thing,as a matter of fact you will not find one that doesnt see that Gnosticism was but a new sect of Qabbalism that arose to directly confront Christianity.
The book of Jude quotes Enoch in verses 6, 14, and 15.Which he just as well may have taken from oral tradition. This does not mean that we should accept the whole book as the authoritative word of God and that it should be included in the bible.Jude’s quotes are not the only quotes in the gospels from an unbiblical source.The Apostle Paul quotes Epimenides in Titus 1:12. That does not mean we should build doctrines around Epimenides entire writings.The same can be said about Jude.Jude’s quotes by no means grant carte blanche’ to the entire works of Gnostic literature,which is what I see happening in the church,not only with the book of Enoch, but other Gnostic writings as well.All Jude is saying is this particular passage is true.We do the same thing on facebook everyday when we post clips and sermons from people that we dont entirely agree with but what they are saying on a particular subject happens to be biblically correct.Evidently though,this was something that Enoch prophesied or the bible would not attribute it to him. Apparently, this may have been handed down by oral tradition,as was Genesis and the book of Job were largely taken from oral tradition until they became among the first scriptural traditions.We should treat the book of Enoch and other Gnostic writings as interesting but heretical documents that only entertain an acceptance of occult philosophies.Some of what it says is true but a great deal of it is false and I could easily do a lengthy note on just the heresies found in it.They are not the inspired authoritative word of God.They are however fullfilling the purpose for which they were created and that is to sow doubt and confusion along with occult teachings into the Body of Christ.
Jude quotes from 1 Enoch, a second-Temple Jewish writing, (Jude 14 = 1 Enoch 1:9) and another Gnostic work in Jude 9, possibly what early Christian writers identified as the Assumption of Moses.The honest problem facing the infant Roman Church of 390 A.D., when first assembling today’s Bible, was that the existing copies of 1 Enoch varied. There is no way of knowing which versions are the original and which are the errors,it does make it impossible to anchor beliefs or arguments on any given section.
This alone is a legitimate reason to exclude it from the holy writ. When faced with the task of declaring what is and what is not the “inspired, infallible Word of God,” erring on the side of caution and certainty must be the case every time! (Only those who do not believe in the divine inspiration, and modern integrity, of scripture will be dissatisfied with this reasoning. ) The translation copies available (presumably) in 390 A.D., and especially those we have today, could not with any certainty also be classified as “infallible.”The church did in fact suppress The Book of Enoch.
Realistically however, there was also a “point” to the canon. The goal and even eternal function in assembling the earliest Bibles was NOT merely sorting out what was inspired of God and what was not. They also had the specific intent of promoting and preserving a solid doctrinal foundation for all believers in Christ. Like Paul, they had to passionately argue against Gnosticism – “the doctrine of salvation by knowledge ,” or the idea that gaining “superior” and/or “hidden” knowledge ensures one some higher spiritual position – opposed to a simple obedient faith in Christ.
Gnostics strive for a mystical face to face experience with God that does not include the gospel of repentance or Christ as Saviour. It is one of the most volatile combinations of witchcraft and self-justification ever produced.The Church strongly opposed Gnostics… labeling mystical experiences as from God was taboo… Putting a stamp of approval on such a wild tale (Enoch) would have too many people believing that they could experience God for themselves without any need for a saviour or repentance, … Those who experience visions or personal insights from mystical sources are dangerous to the gospel,because the very purpose is to instill the belief that supernatural experinces alone qualify one for salvation. They lead people astray by supporting beliefs and practices that are clearly not of God and that are centered around pagan philosophies . This has been brought to bear on us in a very real way today as we can see that the Charismatic movement does highly esteem,and promote those who have had mystical experiences while at the same time disregarding any serious promotion of the gospel.
The truth is that Gnostics “strive for” experiencing God without knowing and submitting to Christ or His Body, the church. Even today, the wish to “experience God face-to-face” without Christ’s mediation (1 Timothy 2:5) is not just an honest effort to avoid false religion (of which there is much), but to not submit to any spiritual authority at all – whether it be God’s Church, God’s Word or even God’s Christ! It should always be kept in perspective that “the church” was not Rome’s, or even man’s idea. Jesus said “I will build my church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it (Mt 16:18).” The early church rightly opposed Gnosticism, but beginning with Paul’s letters, not with the Roman Church. Many who passionately promote (or just reprint and sell) 1 Enoch today do so not with the intention of promoting a deeper faith in God’s inspired Word, but more with the intent of undermining the Bible’s authority – and especially the church’s. 1 Enoch’s clear historical integrity but “lack of inclusion in the Bible” is often used to “springboard” arguments for other “favorite” heretical books, left out for all the right reasons. Modern Gnostics are often fond of several other “gospels” ,such as Thomas and Mary, both of which have heretical statements and theologies that clearly contradict the message of the gospel, proving they were NOT inspired by God,but definitely inspired..by satan himself.
Now,having established that the book of Enoch was from Gnostic literature we can proceed to look at the doctrines surrounding Genesis 6, having set the Gnostic myths surrounding it aside.This should be a more than reasonable course for anyone that considers God’s word to be the authoritative source of all truth.
In this video Deluca compares the Holy Spirit to an epiderul injection.
Mike Bickle of International House of Prayer has admitted that most of these
“manifestations are 80% false” and come from a pretense. But he allows them.
What of the other 20%? The real manifestations are even more dangerous because they flow from a false spirit and and false anointing.
This is spiritual child abuse and this makes me very angry.

Sunday evening November 13th 2011 ,Paul Gowdy appeared on Brazilian television warning the church of a false anointing. He had the opportunity to do a special interview for Rede Record TV Network. You will also hear from Andrew Strom on this tv program.
Please watch. Most of it is in Portuguese. Come in at about 20 minutes for a shorter version.
This is Google translastion of a local Brazilian website: (Sorry about the oddities that occur during translation)
Founder of the chain that folds down in the spirit makes the unprecedented revelations “Record”. Entrevista foi ao ar neste Domingo Espetacular, dia 13 de novembro 2011. Interview aired on Sunday Spectacular, November 13, 2011.
Paul Gowdy, one of the founders of the chain that preaches fanerose, a practice that became popularly known in Brazil as the fall in the spirit or bandeau,’re sorry. This year, after passing through a hospital and almost dying from a blood clot in the leg which affected the lungs and heart, he decided to break the silence and launch a warning about what helped spawn.
In an exclusive interview with “Rede Record” and a letter, she says, it took nine years to be able to write, he showed regret and said that, contrary to what has always defended the fall in the spirit never was a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
“I believe that Satan has used this experience to blind people on the historical doctrines of God, in which the fruit grows next to a life of repentance,” he wrote.
In the “Record”, Gowdy went further. After leaving the hospital, said he believes God saved him so he could grant the interview and thus warn of the error in which he believed for a long tim
The statements were broadcast on Sunday evening (13), in a special report produced by the program Sunday Spectacular. Besides listening to one of the founders of this chain, the program team also visited temples in which followers fall, laugh and roll on the floor. The practice has many fans in Brazil and is gaining traction. According to neurologists and psychologists interviewed by “Record”, this is a phenomenon linked to the induction, influenced by the music and the speeches of the preachers.
Gowdy sees “the action of lying spirits” and warns of the risk of being influenced. He says that “watching people act like animals, barking, growling, cackling, pretending to fly, as if they had wings, behaving like drunken men, chanting meaningless,” and now finds himself “flabbergasted to think that accepted it as manifestations of the Holy Spirit. “

A decepção Toronto
Pastor por um ex-Toronto Vineyard
Levei nove anos para realmente entrar para o lugar onde eu ia escrever esta história. Parte da razão foi porque eu não estava totalmente convencido de que é apropriado falar-se contra as fraquezas do corpo de Cristo publicamente. Outra razão é porque ele tem tido anos de alma procurando tornar-se convencido de que o que aconteceu no aeroporto de Toronto Igreja era realmente tão ruim ou pelo menos mais mal do que bem!
Para obter o número de anos passados eu chamei-lhe uma faca de dois gumes. Eu acho que James A. Beverly o chamou isso em seu livro Laughter Santo ea Bênção de Toronto 1994. Hoje eu chamaria isso de uma maldição mista concluindo que qualquer bem individual que veio com essa experiência está longe superado por muito mal e do engano satânico. Acho que o que nela tem sido o meu dilema. Eu tentei viver a minha vida no temor do Senhor e Jesus disse-nos que o pecado imperdoável foi a blasfêmia contra o Espírito Santo. Atribuir a Satanás o que era na verdade uma obra de Deus. Se pressionado sobre se ou não a bênção de Toronto é tudo o que Deus ou Diabo todos os que eu ainda será hedgy, mas estou convencido de que Satanás usou esta experiência para cegar as pessoas para as doutrinas históricas de Deus, para produzir frutos dignos de arrependimento, a falta de teste e discernir os espíritos e não para testar profecia.
Após três anos de estar no meio da bênção de Toronto nossa assembléia Vineyard em Scarborough (East Toronto) apenas sobre auto-destruindo. Nós devorado um ao outro, com fofocas, traições, divisões, seitas etc críticas Após três anos de ‘imersão’, rezando para as pessoas, agitação, rolando, rindo, rugindo, ministrando no TACF em sua equipe de oração, liderando o louvor em TACF, pregando no TACF, basicamente vivendo no TACF éramos os cristãos mais carnal, imaturo e enganado que eu conheço. Lembro-me de dizer ao meu amigo e pastor sênior da Igreja Vineyard em Scarborough, em 1997, que, desde a bênção de Toronto chegou temos apenas sobre caído em pedaços! Ele concordou!
Minha experiência tem sido que a manifestação dos dons espirituais mencionados na 1 Coríntios 12 era muito mais comum em nossa montagem, antes de Janeiro de 1994 (quando a bênção de Toronto começou.) Do que durante este período de visitação Espírito Santo suposto.
Durante 1992-1993, quando orando por pessoas que iriam experimentar o que eu acredito era genuína profecia, libertação e muita graça e misericórdia do Senhor. Após a bênção de Toronto começou, o tempo todo ministério mudou, as orações foram apenas “Senhor Mais Mais”, os gritos de ‘Fire’ do jerky agitação do corpo com o “ooh ooh ooh WOOOAAH ‘oração. (Eu não te miúdo!)
Em 20 janeiro de 1994 cerca de 15 pessoas de nossa igreja viajaram até Toronto Airport Vineyard, a fim de ouvir Randy Clark, pastor da Vineyard EUA. John Arnott tinha chamado o nosso pastor sênior para nos convidar. Ele comunicou que Randy tinha sido para as reuniões de Rodney Howard Browne e que o material tinha estourou em sua igreja nas semanas seguintes. John esperava que algo possa sair com a gente também. Estávamos muito felizes de viajar mais. Nós éramos uma igreja fora do Aeroporto de Toronto e começamos em 1992. Naqueles dias havia três Igrejas Vineyard em Toronto. Uma igreja Down Town, Scarborough igreja vinha a leste ea Igreja do Aeroporto. Nós éramos uma grande família feliz. Porque estávamos em número reduzido fizemos reuniões especiais, etc conferências, juntos.
O ano antes que a maioria das nossas equipes de liderança unidos e tinham dirigido para a Nicarágua para uma viagem de missões de curto prazo. Tivemos genuíno amor e comunhão uns com os outros. Desde que deixou as igrejas Vineyard li um pouco de análise da crítica.
Alguns fazem-se que a bênção de Toronto era uma grande conspiração para levar o corpo de Cristo em heresia. Heresia e apostasia Suspeito pode muito bem ser o resultado, mas nenhum desses destinos foram intencionais. Estou sinceramente convencido de que os líderes das igrejas Vineyard são genuínos cristãos nascidos de novo que amam o Senhor, mas caíram em engano. Eles não amaram o Senhor o suficiente para guardar os Seus mandamentos. Eles falharam em obedecer as escrituras e foram desviados por nosso anseio por algo maior e mais brilhante e mais emocionante e dinâmico. Eu sou culpado por este pecado também. Tenho pregado a renovação na Coréia, no Reino Unido, EUA e aqui no Canadá. Estou verdadeiramente arrependido e por escrito essa história Peço-lhe a noiva eo corpo de Cristo que me perdoe. Especialmente os cristãos pentecostais / carismáticos entre vocês, pois vocês são minha família teológica. Eu sou um cristão evangélico, eu sempre tenho sido, mas eu não acredito na cessação dos dons espirituais, no final da era apostólica. Eu acredito que era minhas raízes evangélicas (minha família são batistas e eu nasci de novo na Igreja Presbiteriana.) Que começou a abrir meus olhos para os problemas com a renovação chamados.
À vista hind eu olho para trás e pensar como eu poderia ter sido tão cego? Eu ri de pessoas que agem como cães e fingindo urinar nas colunas do edifício TACF. Eu vi as pessoas fingem ser animais, cascas, rugido, cluck, fingir voar como se tivessem asas, perpetuamente ato bêbado e cantar canções silly. Como eu pensei que nada disso era do Espírito Santo de Deus me espanta hoje em dia. Era alto irreverente e blasfemo ao Deus Santo da Bíblia. Acho que na minha mente eu raciocinei que, enquanto eles não ensinam alguma coisa em violação direta às Escrituras então era o que chamamos de exótico. Esta é uma palavra da moda para as manifestações que não poderia ser justificada de uma perspectiva bíblica. Eu fui ensinado do púlpito que tinha duas opções. A ordem do viveiro cheio de vida e desarrumado ou a ordem do cemitério, muito ordeiro, mas morto!
Como um pastor jovem imaturo que eu queria a vida com bagunça. Não consegui lembrar de que Deus quer que nos tornemos maduros e crescer nele. Fiquei desconcertado com as palavras proféticas que veio especialmente um por Carol Arnott, no qual ela teve sua experiência noiva, onde ela foi levada à presença de Jesus e disse que o amor que ela experimentou foi ainda melhor do que sexo! Fiquei chocado em meu espírito e do pensamento como se pode comparar o amor de Deus com o sexo? Quando nós suspeitamos que os demônios estavam funcionando motim em nossos serviços John Arnott ensinava que devemos pedir que eles estão indo ou vindo. Se eles estão saindo, então, que é ok! John defendia o caos afirmando que não devemos ter medo de ser enganado, se pedimos ao Espírito Santo para vir e encher-nos então como Satanás poderia vir e enganar-nos? Isto faria com que Satanás muito forte e Deus muito fraco! Ele disse que precisávamos ter mais fé num Deus grande para nos proteger do que em um Big diabo para nos enganar. Isto soou muito convincente, mas era totalmente contrário às escrituras de Jesus, Paulo e Pedro e João nos alertar sobre o poder dos espíritos enganadores e especialmente nos últimos dias. Outra vez, não o amor de Deus o suficiente para obedecer à Sua Palavra eo resultado foi que nós nos abrimos para espíritos mentirosos. Que Deus tenha misericórdia de nós!
Finalmente a ficha caiu para mim como eu estava rolando uma noite “bêbado no Espírito”, como diríamos. Eu comecei a cantar e como eu rolava no chão da rima de berçário “Mary tinha um cordeirinho sua lã era branca como a neve.” Veio à mente. Eu cantei isso em um espírito zombeteiro e instantaneamente meu coração me disseram que era um demônio. Imediatamente me arrependi e estava em choque total. Como poderia um demônio entrar em mim? Será que eu não o amor de Deus? Eu não era zeloso pelas coisas de Deus? Eu não estava louco por Jesus? Eu sabia que um espírito imundo acabara de se manifesta através de mim e eu era culpado de grande pecado. Depois dessa experiência eu fiquei longe do TACF. Eu não voltei mais lá. Eu não possuía a convicção de denunciar toda a experiência, mas pensei que não ter onde pastor da Bênção bem o suficiente.
Mesmo depois que eu parei de ir até TACF, tive de pastor do seu fruto. Um exemplo foi quando alguns de nosso povo voltou de uma reunião lá perguntando-nos se tínhamos todos receberam a espada dourada do Senhor? Perguntei-lhes o que eles estavam falando sobre o pensamento de que era alguma referência profética para as Sagradas Escrituras, mas eles disseram: ‘não, não é a Bíblia, é uma espada de ouro invisível que somente os puros realmente pode receber. Se for tomado de forma injusta, em seguida, o Senhor iria matá-lo. Mas se você for santo o suficiente para recebê-lo, então você pode empunhar a espada e vai curar AIDS, câncer, etc e trazer a salvação. Como uma espada foi detido esta fingindo ter esta espada invisível em sua mão e apontando para atacar as pessoas com ela quando em oração! Eu pensei que mesmo no engano nessa época que o TACF havia se tornado escaninhos Looney! Este foi supostamente recebeu pela primeira vez pela Carol Arnott e depois dada aos santos o suficiente para recebê-lo!
Outra coisa foi a obturações de ouro nos dentes. Tínhamos pessoas na nossa assembleia peeping baixo uns dos outros gargantas procurando os dentes de ouro que Deus tinha colocado lá para mostrar o quanto ele os amava! Em todo o meu tempo lá, eu só ouvi uma mensagem sobre o arrependimento dada por um alto-falante visitantes de Hong Kong chamado Jackie Pullinger. Foi mais como um balão de chumbo. Nós não estávamos lá para se arrepender, nós estávamos lá para a festa no Senhor! Depois de um ano para a bênção falei em uma reunião pastores e disse: ‘caras que têm abalado, agitado, rolou, chorou e riu comprou a camiseta. Mas não temos avivamento, nem salvação, nenhum fruto e nenhum evangelismo aumentado de modo que é o negócio “Fiquei profundamente repreendeu – quem era eu para esperar para ver frutos quando o Senhor estava curando seu povo quebrado? Nós tínhamos sido tempo suficiente legalista e Deus estava gastando este tempo restaurando seus feridos e libertando-nos do legalismo foi-me dito para não empurrar o Senhor ea colheita viria no seu tempo. ”
Eu sabia que isso estava errado, porque o Senhor nos mandou ir em toda a terra e fazei discípulos! Não, que todos devem tirar um ano sabático para quem sabe quanto tempo, enquanto Deus faz alguma coisa nova e estranha! Em última análise, deixei sobre algo tão polêmico como a ordenação de mulheres. Pessoalmente, eu acredito que da escritura que as mulheres não devem ser pastores / anciãos numa assembléia local. Eu posso estar errado sobre isso e há muito debate na Igreja hoje, mas essa é a minha convicção e nas igrejas Vineyard estavam ordenando todas as esposas de pastores para co pastor com eles. Eu sou, certamente, para as mulheres no ministério, mas acredito que o papel Elder / pastor em uma assembléia local foi reservado aos homens. Eu não escrevi as escrituras, mas se Deus quiser terei a graça a partir de agora a obedecê-la.
Portanto, há a minha história. Eu poderia ir sobre e documentar o excesso muito, loucura, pecado e ensino reinado dos últimos dias que se manifestam a partir do final proféticas deste Bênção, mas outros já fizeram isso. Cantamos sobre o exército de Joel eo avivamento alma bilhões como se fosse um dos Dez Mandamentos, e como sempre foi ao virar da esquina. No próximo mês, no próximo ano etc Jesus disse que quando o filho do homem volta encontrará fé sobre a terra? E se ele não retornar quando ele faz nenhuma carne se salvaria, mas por causa dos eleitos que ele venha. Este é um grito distante da Dominionismo que está sendo ensinado por todo o movimento de guerra vinha / profético / espiritual. Eu honestamente acho que eles pensam que vão dominar o mundo inteiro! Enquanto no Vineyard abracei um verso a vida do apóstolo Paulo a frase não vão além do que está escrito!
Para terminar quero apenas pedir desculpas pelos danos, que eu pessoalmente tenho feito ensinando coisas que não estão corretos biblicamente. Arrependo-me perante os homens como eu já tenho diante de Deus. Eu não vou cair as minhas desculpas por engano. Eu não se preocupou em testar as coisas quando as escrituras nos mandou fazer isso. Todo mundo que estava lá quando tudo isso começou sabe que o que eu escrevo é verdade, eles teriam acabado de chegar a conclusões diferentes, especialmente se eles ainda estão a promover o “rio!”
Para aqueles no rio Eu diria que nadar para fora, existem coisas vivas na água que irá mordê-lo muito bom! Eu amo o povo do TACF eo movimento Vineyard, mas penso que temos muito a responder e que o Senhor abra seus olhos, mais cedo ou mais tarde. Eu suspeito que quando esta carta vai em linha vou buscar bombardeados por e-mails de ambos os campos, alguns me condenando por ainda crer no ministério do Espírito Santo e ainda andando no engano e alguns amigos antigos condenando-me por expor a sujeira ou ser negativo sobre o senhores ungido! Bem, o Senhor conhece meu coração e por sua graça que ele me guiará a toda a verdade como eu busco conhecer a Cristo e este crucificado! Se você acredita que eu ando em pecado e erro, por favor ore por mim que o Senhor iria me perdoar e abrir os olhos. Vou estudar a palavra para mostrar o meu homem um auto de trabalho aprovado! Eu apelo a todos os que lerem esta a rezar para que o Senhor abrisse os olhos de todos que estiveram envolvidos neste engano. Se líder ou seguidor, somos amados e que o Senhor é um Deus perdoador. Ele diz que se confessarmos os nossos pecados, ele é fiel e justo para nos perdoar os pecados e nos purificar de toda injustiça. Creio que somos como a igreja em Laodicéia, pensamos que somos ricos, prosperaram e não precisam de nada, não nos damos conta que és infeliz, miserável, pobre, cego e nu. Devemos tomar o conselho de Jesus e comprar ouro refinado no fogo (que é o seu sofrimento, e não um falso espírito!), Vestiduras brancas para vestir nossa nudez vergonhosa e salve para os nossos olhos para que possamos ver novamente. Jesus está nos chamando ao arrependimento e agradecer ao Senhor que ele é, pois nos levará a uma verdadeira restauração com o nosso Pai! Se Deus me perdoou e abriu os meus olhos, então ele pode fazer isso para todos aqueles que estão presos no engano também. Vou terminar com uma advertência de Paulo, ele diz que se você pensa que é firmes ter cuidado para não cair.
Sincerely Paul Gowdy.

El engaño de Toronto
Por un pastor antiguo viñedo Toronto
Me ha costado nueve años para llegar realmente al lugar donde iba a escribir esta historia. Parte de la razón era porque no estaba totalmente convencida de que es apropiado para hablar en contra de las debilidades en el cuerpo de Cristo públicamente. Otra razón es porque ha tomado años de búsqueda espiritual que convencerse de que lo que sucedió en la Iglesia Aeropuerto de Toronto fue en realidad todo es malo, o al menos más mal que bien!
Para el último número de años que yo he llamado un arma de doble filo. Creo que James A. Beverly se llama esto en su libro La risa santa y la Bendición de Toronto de 1994. Hoy en día yo diría que es una maldición mezcla la conclusión de que ninguna buena persona que vino de esta experiencia es ampliamente superado por mucho daño y el engaño satánico. Supongo que él ha sido mi dilema. He tratado de vivir mi vida en el temor del Señor y Jesús nos dijo que el pecado imperdonable es la blasfemia contra el Espíritu Santo. Atribuir a Satanás lo que era en realidad una obra de Dios. Si se pulsa en cuanto a si o no la bendición de Toronto es todo lo que Dios o el diablo todos los que todavía se Hedgy, pero estoy convencido de que Satanás ha usado esta experiencia para las personas ciegas a las doctrinas históricas de Dios, para producir frutos dignos de arrepentimiento, al no examinar y discernir los espíritus y no para poner a prueba la profecía.
Después de tres años de estar en el meollo de la bendición de Toronto nuestra asamblea Viñedo en Scarborough (este de Toronto), casi auto destruido. Devoramos unos a otros, con chismes, traiciones, divisiones, sectas, etc crítica Después de tres años de “remojo”, orando por la gente, agitando, laminados, riendo, gritando, ministrando a TACF en su equipo de oración, dirigiendo la adoración a TACF, predicando en TACF, básicamente viviendo en TACF que eran los cristianos más carnales, inmaduros y engañado, que yo sepa. Recuerdo que le dije a mi amigo y pastor de la Iglesia Viña Scarborough en 1997 que desde entonces la Bendición de Toronto llegó tenemos casi caído a pedazos! Estuvo de acuerdo!
Mi experiencia ha sido que la manifestación de los dones espirituales mencionados en 1 Corintios 12 era mucho más común en nuestra asamblea, antes de enero de 1994 (cuando comenzó la Bendición de Toronto.) Que durante este periodo de visitas supone que el Espíritu Santo.
Durante 1992-1993, cuando orar por las personas que experimentaríamos lo que creo que era auténtica profecía, liberación y mucha gracia y el favor del Señor. Después de la Bendición de Toronto comenzó, todo el tiempo del ministerio cambiado, las únicas oraciones fueron “Señor más más», los gritos de “Fire” la cecina temblor del cuerpo con el “ooh ooh ooh WOOOAAH de oración. (No es broma!)
El 20 de enero de 1994 acerca de 15 personas de nuestra iglesia viajó a Toronto Viña del aeropuerto con el fin de escuchar a Randy Clark, un pastor de viñedo de los EE.UU.. John Arnott había llamado a nuestro pastor que nos invitan. Se comunicó que Randy había estado en las reuniones de Rodney Howard Browne y que las cosas se desató en su iglesia en las semanas siguientes. John tenía la esperanza de que algo pueda salir con nosotros. Estábamos muy felices de recorrer. Éramos una planta de la iglesia del aeropuerto de Toronto y se inició en 1992. En esos días hubo tres Iglesias de la Viña en Toronto. Una Down Town iglesia, la iglesia Scarborough viña al este y al aeropuerto de la Iglesia. Fuimos una gran familia feliz. Debido a que eran pequeños en número que hicimos reuniones especiales, conferencias etc, juntos.
El año anterior la mayor parte de nuestros equipos de liderazgo unido y se había dirigido a Nicaragua para un viaje de misiones a corto plazo. Tuvimos un amor genuino y comunión unos con otros. Desde que salió de las iglesias Viña He leído un poco de análisis de la crítica.
Algunos hacen que la Bendición de Toronto fue una enorme conspiración para llevar el cuerpo de Cristo en la herejía. Herejía y apostasía, así que sospecho puede ser el resultado, pero ninguno de estos destinos fueron intencionales. Estoy sinceramente convencido de que los líderes de las iglesias Viña son auténticos cristianos nacidos de nuevo que aman al Señor, pero han caído en el engaño. No han querido el Señor lo suficiente para guardar sus mandamientos. Ellos no han cumplido las Escrituras y han sido engañados por nuestro anhelo de algo más grande y más brillante y más emocionante y dinámica. Soy culpable de este pecado también. He predicado la renovación en Corea, el Reino Unido, los EE.UU. y en Canadá. Estoy realmente arrepentido y por escrito esta historia le pediría a la novia y el cuerpo de Cristo que me perdone. Especialmente a los cristianos pentecostales / carismáticos entre ustedes, porque ustedes son mi familia inmediata teológicamente. Yo soy un cristiano evangélico, siempre lo he sido, pero yo no creo en la cesación de los dones espirituales al final de la era apostólica. Creo que fue mis raíces evangélicas (mi familia son bautistas y he vuelto a nacer en la Iglesia Presbiteriana.) Que comenzó a abrir los ojos a los problemas con esta renovación llamada.
En vista trasera miro hacia atrás y pensar en cómo pude haber sido tan ciego? Me reí de las personas que actúan como perros y pretender que orinar en las columnas del edificio TACF. He visto gente pasar por los animales, la corteza, rugido, cacarear, pretende volar como si tuvieran alas, perpetuamente actúan canciones borracho y tonto cantar. ¿Cómo cree que nada de esto fue por el Espíritu Santo de Dios que me sorprende hoy en día. Era fuerte e irreverente y blasfema al Dios Santo de la Biblia. Supongo que en mi mente pensé que el tiempo que no enseñan nada en violación directa a las Escrituras, entonces lo que se llama lo exótico. Esta es una palabra de moda para las manifestaciones que no se puede justificar desde una perspectiva bíblica. A mí me enseñaron desde el púlpito que teníamos dos opciones. El orden de la guardería llena de vida y desordenada o el orden de los cementerios, muy ordenado, pero muerto!
Como un pastor joven inmaduro que quería la vida con el desastre. Yo no recuerdo que Dios quiere que seamos maduros y crecer en él. Me convertí desconcertado por las palabras proféticas que salió especialmente uno por Carol Arnott en la que había su experiencia en la que la novia se ha tenido en la misma presencia de Jesús y le dijo que el amor que ella experimentó fue incluso mejor que el sexo! Me sorprendió en mi espíritu y el pensamiento ¿cómo se puede comparar el amor de Dios con el sexo? Cuando se sospecha que los demonios estaban corriendo motín en nuestros servicios de John Arnott que enseñan que debemos hacer son que viene o va. Si ellos se van, entonces eso es bueno! John defenderá el caos diciendo que no debemos tener miedo de ser engañados, si le hemos pedido al Espíritu Santo que venga y nos llene entonces ¿cómo puede Satanás vienen y nos engañan? Esto haría que Satanás muy fuerte y muy débil de Dios! Dijo que teníamos que tener más fe en un gran Dios que nos proteja de un diablo grande para engañarnos. Esto sonaba muy convincente, pero era totalmente contrario a la Escritura que Jesús y Pablo y Pedro y Juan nos advierte sobre el poder de engañar a los espíritus y sobre todo en los últimos días. De nuevo, no el amor de Dios lo suficiente como para obedecer su Palabra y el resultado fue que nos abrió a espíritus mentirosos. Que Dios tenga misericordia de nosotros!
Por último, la moneda cayó por mí como yo estaba rodando una noche de borrachos en el Espíritu “, como diríamos. Comencé a cantar, y como yo rodé por el suelo de la poesía infantil “Mary tenía un corderito su lana era blanca como la nieve.” Vino a la mente. Yo cantaba esto en un espíritu burlón y de inmediato mi corazón me dijo que era un demonio. Al instante me arrepentí y estaba en shock total. ¿Cómo podría un demonio entrar en mí? ¿No el amor de Dios? No era celoso de las cosas de Dios? No era loco por Jesús? Yo sabía que tenía un espíritu inmundo se manifiesta sólo a través de mí, y yo era culpable de un gran pecado. Después de esta experiencia me quedó lejos de TACF. Yo no volver allí nunca más. Yo no tenía la convicción de denunciar toda la experiencia, pero pensamos que en donde no para el pastor de la bendición de bien.
Incluso después de que dejé de ir a TACF, tuve que pastor de la fruta de la misma. Un ejemplo fue cuando algunos de nuestros pueblos de regresar de una reunión que nos preguntaban si habíamos recibido todos la espada de oro del Señor? Les pregunté qué estaban hablando de pensar que se trataba de una referencia profética a las Sagradas Escrituras, sino que dijo: ‘no, no es la Biblia, es una espada de oro invisible que sólo los puros realmente pueden recibir. Si se toma de manera injusta entonces el Señor te mataría. Pero si usted está lo suficientemente santos para recibir, entonces usted puede manejar la espada y va a curar el SIDA, cáncer, etc y traer la salvación. ¿Cómo manejó la espada una era pretendiendo que esta espada invisible en la mano y señalando a la huelga la gente con él, cuando en la oración! Pensé, mientras que incluso en el engaño en este momento que el TACF se había convertido en contenedores de Looney! Esto fue supuestamente recibió por primera vez por Carol Arnott y luego se da a los santos como para recibirla!
Otra cosa era el relleno de oro en los dientes. Teníamos gente en nuestra asamblea asomando por uno al otro perro y el gato en busca de los empastes de oro que Dios había colocado allí para mostrar lo mucho que los amaba! En todo el tiempo allí sólo se escucha un mensaje de arrepentimiento presentadas por un orador invitado de Hong Kong llamado Jackie Pullinger. Se cayó como un globo de plomo. No estábamos allí, que se arrepientan, que estaban allí a la fiesta en el Señor! Después de un año en la bendición que pronunció en una reunión de pastores y dijo que “los chicos que han sacudido, sacudido, aplastado, se echó a reír-gritó y se compró la camiseta. Pero no tenemos el avivamiento, no hay salvación, no la fruta y la evangelización no mayor que lo que es el problema “estaba profundamente increpó – ¿quién era yo para esperar a ver el fruto que el Señor estaba sanando a su pueblo roto? Habíamos estado el tiempo suficiente legalista y Dios era pasar este tiempo la restauración de sus heridos y nos libera del legalismo me dijeron de no empujar el Señor y la cosecha vendría en su tiempo. ”
Yo sabía que esto estaba mal, porque el Señor nos había mandado a ir a todo el mundo y hacer discípulos! No, que todo el mundo debería tomarse un año sabático para quién sabe cuánto tiempo, mientras que Dios hace algo nuevo y extraño! En última instancia, me fui por algo tan polémico como la ordenación de mujeres. Personalmente, creo que por las Escrituras que las mujeres no deben ser pastores / ancianos en una asamblea local. Yo podría estar equivocado en esto y hay mucho debate en la Iglesia de hoy, pero esa es mi convicción y en las iglesias de Viña que se ordenan todas las esposas de pastores que co pastor con ellos. Estoy seguro para las mujeres en el ministerio, pero creemos que el papel de anciano / pastor en una asamblea local ha sido reservado para los hombres. Yo no escribí la escritura, pero si Dios quiere, tendré la gracia a partir de ahora someterse a ella.
Por lo que es mi historia. Podría seguir y documentar el exceso de mucho, la locura, el pecado y la enseñanza de este último reinado día que se manifiestan desde el final de esta bendición profética, pero otros ya lo han hecho. Cantamos sobre el ejército de Joel y el renacimiento del alma millones de dólares como si se tratara de uno de los Diez Mandamientos, y como siempre que estaba a la vuelta de la esquina. El próximo mes, el año que viene, etc Jesús dijo que cuando el Hijo del hombre encontrará fe sobre la tierra? Y si no regresa cuando lo hace nadie sería salvo, pero por el bien de los elegidos que él venga. Esto está muy lejos de la dominionismo que se imparte durante todo el movimiento de la guerra de viña / profético / espiritual. Sinceramente, creo que ellos piensan que van a hacerse cargo de todo el mundo! Mientras que en la Viña abracé a un verso de la vida del apóstol Pablo la frase no van más allá de lo que está escrito!
Para terminar sólo quiero pedir perdón por el daño, que yo personalmente he hecho por la enseñanza de las cosas que no son correctos bíblicamente. Me arrepiento delante de los hombres, como ya tengo delante de Dios. No voy a disculpar mi caer en el engaño. No se molestó en probar las cosas cuando las Escrituras nos ordena que lo hagamos. Todos los que estaban allí cuando esto comenzó sabe que lo que escribo es cierto, que acaba de llegar a conclusiones diferentes sobre todo si se sigue promoviendo el “río!
Para aquellos en el río yo diría nadar, hay cosas que viven en el agua que va a morder muy bien! Me encanta la gente de TACF y el movimiento Vineyard, pero creo que tenemos mucho de qué responder y que el Señor abre los ojos más temprano que tarde. Sospecho que cuando esta carta va en línea voy a tener bombardeados por correos electrónicos de los dos campos, algunos me condenatoria para seguir creyendo en el ministerio del Espíritu Santo y aún camina en el engaño y algunos viejos amigos me condenatoria para la exposición de la tierra o ser negativo sobre la señores ungidos! Pues bien, el Señor conoce mi corazón y por su gracia, él me guiará a toda verdad que trato de conocer a Cristo y éste crucificado! Si usted cree que ando en el pecado y error, por favor oren por mí para que el Señor me perdone y abrir los ojos. Voy a estudiar la palabra para mostrar mi auto a un hombre de trabajo aprobado! Hago un llamamiento a todos los que lean esto a orar para que el Señor abre los ojos de todos los que han participado en este engaño. Ya sea líder o seguidor, que son amados y que el Señor es un Dios que perdona. Él dice que si confesamos nuestros pecados, él es fiel y justo para perdonar nuestros pecados, y limpiarnos de toda maldad. Yo creo que son como la iglesia de Laodicea, creemos que somos ricos, han prosperado y no necesitan nada, no nos damos cuenta de que eres un desventurado, miserable, pobre, ciego y desnudo. Tenemos que tomar el consejo de Jesús y comprar oro refinado en el fuego (que es su sufrimiento, no un falso espíritu!), Las vestiduras blancas para vestir a nuestra vergonzosa desnudez y colirio para nuestros ojos para que podamos ver de nuevo. Jesús nos llama al arrepentimiento y agradecer al Señor que es, por ello nos llevará a la verdadera restauración con nuestro Padre! Si Dios me ha perdonado y me abrió los ojos, entonces él puede hacerlo para todos los que están atrapados en el engaño también. Voy a terminar con una advertencia de Pablo, él dice que si usted piensa que está firme tenga cuidado de no caer.
Atentamente Pablo Gowdy.
The Heresies of Enoch and proof that it appeared after the gospels!
The Book of Enoch is packed full of heresy. I’ve only included a few examples but theres more in there. I think though, that this is more than any reasonable believer should need in order to see that this book is occultic and it is blasphemous. For example:
We read in chapter 40 of the Book of Enoch…
1 And after that I saw thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand, I saw a multitude
2 beyond number and reckoning, who stood before the Lord of Spirits. And on the four sides of the Lord of Spirits I saw four presences, different from those that sleep not, and I learnt their names: for the angel that went with me made known to me their names, and showed me all the hidden things.
3 And I heard the voices of those four presences as they uttered praises before the Lord of glory.
4 The first voice blesses the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.
5 And the second voice I heard blessing
6 the Elect One and the elect ones who hang upon the Lord of Spirits. And the third voice I heard pray and intercede for those who dwell on the earth and supplicate in the name of the Lord of Spirits.
7 And I heard the fourth voice fending off the Satans and forbidding them to come before the Lord
8 of Spirits to accuse them who dwell on the earth. After that I asked the angel of peace who went with me, who showed me everything that is hidden: ‘Who are these four presences which I have
9 seen and whose words I have heard and written down?’ And he said to me: ‘This first is Michael, the merciful and long-suffering: and the second, who is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Raphael: and the third, who is set over all the powers, is Gabriel: and the fourth, who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.’
10 And these are the four angels of the Lord of Spirits and the four voices I heard in those days.
The Bible never mentions an angel named Phanuel, let alone an angel who is set over the repentance of those who inherit eternal life. What blasphemy! That statement in itself contradicts everything the Word of God teaches.
We read in 1st Timothy 2:5 that Jesus Christ is the ONLY Mediator between God and men, not some angel named Phanuel… “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” Repentance is strictly between a man and Jesus Christ alone. Only Jesus died for our sins, and shed His blood to pay for them (1st Peter 1:18-19); therefore, we must be diligent to guard and defend against LIARS and imposters who would lead people to believe otherwise.
1st John 2:22 clearly indicts all Christ-deniers as LIARS, guilty before God. There is nothing,or no one that can take Jesus’ rightful place as Redeemer and Savior.That is for Christ and Christ alone!
John 14:6-Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. He is our High Priest forever! Hebrews 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
The Holy Spirit itself is named as the Spirit of Christ-Romans 8:9-But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Our salvation rests in Jesus Christ,the Risen Savior of mankind and the only begotten Son of God and not some demon named Phanuel!
And what did Paul say about that?-
Galatians 1:6-9,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 which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
This singular passage alone is enough to solidify this book as doctrines of demons, heretical teachings and blasphemy against our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Any reasonable Christian would see that they have no need at all for any book that would do such a thing. Gnostic literature always,always undermines the diety of Christ!
Here’s chapter 48:1-3…
1 And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness Which was inexhaustible: And around it were many fountains of wisdom: And all the thirsty drank of them, And were filled with wisdom, And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect. 2 And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits, And his name before the Head of Days. 3 Yea, before the sun and the signs were created, Before the stars of the heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.
Was the Son of Man named? When was Jesus named in Heaven? This is an attack on the deity of Jesus. Jesus Himself claimed in Revelation 1:8, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Jesus is Eternal, without beginning or end. Head of Days? Lord of Spirits? These terms are NOT found in the Bible.
IF the Book of Enoch were valid, composing well over 100 chapters, there should be numerous New Testament references to it; but there aren’t. Although some people claim that the Bible quotes the Book of Enoch over 100 times, this is simply not true. Just as the Qur’an, the Book of Enoch borrows from the Word of God. In sharp contrast to the Book of Enoch, the New Testament often quotes the Book of Genesis.
I would also point out that this passage could have only been written after the coming of Christ, and the writing of the New Testament where this was obviously taken from.The Old Testament consistently uses son of man in reference to man,often as God speaking to a man. The Bible does not use son of man as a title for Christ,until Jesus Himself declares Himself such in the New Testament.
We read in the Book of Enoch, chapter 69:8-12…
8 …And the fourth was named Penemue: he taught the
9 children of men the bitter and the sweet, and he taught them all the secrets of their wisdom. And he instructed mankind in writing with ink and paper, and thereby many sinned from eternity to
10 eternity and until this day. For men were not created for such a purpose, to give confirmation
11 to their good faith with pen and ink. For men were created exactly like the angels, to the intent that they should continue pure and righteous, and death, which destroys everything, could not have taken hold of them, but through this their knowledge they are perishing, and through this power
12 it is consuming me.
What … man’s wisdom came from a demon named Penemue? That’s crazy! Did ink and paper cause the fall of the human race? Whoa … ! It was Adam’s sin that brought sin into the world (Romans 5:12); not evil literature. Mankind is inherently evil of himself, prone to the works of the flesh (Galatians 5:19-21). The lost sin because they are sinners,born with a fallen nature,inherited directly from Adam!
Although demons definitely influence mankind to do evil, man was already fallen long before he began to pursue idolatry and witchcraft. Christ came and died not to save us from witchcraft, but from all sin. Also, notice in 69:6, that the Book of Enoch claims that a demon named Gadreel led Eve astray and introduced weaponry to mankind. How absurd. The Bible identifies the serpent which deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden as Satan (Ezekiel 28:13).
As a person progresses deeper into the Book of Enoch, they will eventually find the Books of Adam and Eve fascinating as well, and then they will be into New Age occultism without even realizing it. Don’t be fooled, the Book of Enoch is occult material,written by gnostics that will lead you into the senseless mysticism of pagan religion. Keep in mind the philosophies of the Gnostics laid the groundwork for what today is termed Luciferianism.
The book of Enoch consistently glorifies angels in the rightful place of Jesus, at best this is promoting angel worship which is nothing more than trafficking in demons..sorcery, which is why it is so highly utilized in the occult,with a whole realm of sorcery dedicated to it known as Enochian Magic. This should be more than enough right here to satisfy any questions on whether or not the book of Enoch is the inspired word of God, there are though numerous other contradictions and outright false teachings contained in this book.
