Goodbye. I am about to embark on the creation of several videos that will cause many to think that I’m off base, compromised, unspiritual, attacking the church, or otherwise not worthwhile anymore. I know this is going to happen but I’m proceeding anyways. Why? Because I think that accountability for villains in church leadership is important and God honoring. It honors God to defend the victims. It honors God to expose such deeds that the church would be unleavened. It honors God to refuse to participate in or tolerate false miracles, false prophecies, false leaders, oppressive systems, “elitist leaders” cultures, and unbiblical teachings. The problem is that accountability hasn’t come from within the movements that need it. Instead, movements like IHOPKC, Bethel, Morningstar, and others have enabled such abuses and blocked proper accountability. So it falls on the wider church to speak up and protect people. For those who will say that they have been blessed by my ministry before this and now are checking out, just know that I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of God blessing you in some way. I understand that what I’m about to do can be seen as divisive, extreme, and unnecessary, especially to those who haven’t talked to the victims of such predators and false leaders. I don’t anticipate being able to convince the majority that what I’m doing is good and needful. Know that I am grateful for the chance to have ministered to you in the past and that I am doing my best to do what’s right and God-honoring in the future. When you think about it, Jeremiah and a number of OT prophets were dealing with opposition from those who basically thought they were being unnecessarily negative, divisive, and ungracious. Goodbye to those who will no longer view or support my content. I’m grateful I could help in the past and regret that this future project will inevitably result in me looking like an ungodly villain in your eyes.

Dealing with the frustration of unmet expectations, a thread. It’s not just the lack of something you hoped for, it’s the painful reality that you don’t get something you expected. You feel it not as a mere deprivation but as if it were a loss. Sometimes it feels like,,, 1/7

Mormons: “Don’t call us Mormons. That’s insulting and rude. We are Latter Day Saints.” Joseph Smith (1st President): “Hence, with the addition of more, or the contraction, mor, we have the word Mormon; which means, literally, more good.” (Times and Seasons, 1843; Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 299–300) Brigham Young (2nd President): “Mormonism has made me all I am; and the grace, the power, and the wisdom of God will make me all that I ever will be, either in time or in eternity.” (Journal of Discourses, vol. 8, p. 162) David O. McKay (9th President): “A large number of these converts gathered in Antioch and it was there as you already know that the Saints were first called Christians. It was first applied to them in derision just as the word ‘Mormon’ was first applied to the Church in this day, but later was accepted as an honorable title.” (Ancient Apostles, p. 148) Gordon B. Hinckley (15th President; “Ever since, when I have seen the word Mormon used in the media to describe us—in a newspaper or a magazine or book or whatever—there flashes into my mind his statement, which has become my motto: Mormon means ‘more good.’” “While I sometimes regret that people do not call this Church by its proper name, I am happy that the nickname they use is one of great honor made so by a remarkable man and a book which gives an unmatched testimony concerning the Redeemer of the world.” “We may not be able to change the nickname, but we can make it shine with added luster.” All three quotes from “Mormon Should Mean ‘More Good,’” Ensign, November 1990 (from the Sunday morning session of the October 1990 general conference). The Mormon church literally spent $6,000,000 on a PR campaign in 2011 called “I’m a Mormon”

Satan: “did Jesus really call Paul?”
Paul never met Jesus while he was alive. He never heard a single teaching from him in person. Yet almost the entire Christian religion is built on Paul’s letters and ideas. The man who never sat with Jesus gets to define the faith more than the ones who actually walked with him. How does that make any sense?

Just imagine if the SA of Bob Jones, Paul Cain, Mike Bickle, Bolz, Reed and others had not been exposed in the last few years... a lot of charismatics would still be putting stock in these guys. How many would not have been willing to even consider the PROOF shown about Jeremiah Johnson if it wasn't getting traction that he was an abuser? CLUE: the false prophecy is itself abuse... abuse against God. They were shown to be false BEFORE the SA allegations. Why does it have to his that bad of a threshold before we discern?

My sources in Nigeria tell me that Islamic terrorists are carrying out mass-murders of the Christian population — targeting them at their homes, schools and places of worship. This heartbreaking video came out over the weekend. Pray for Nigeria’s Christians 🙏

In the time of the Reformation it was a known practice of the Catholic priests to deny the people the cup during communion. They would give them the bread but not allow them to drink of the cup. The logic was that these people might accidentally spill a drop and dishonor the blood of Christ. So, people routinely went forward for communion and were disallowed full participation and obedience to Christ, who instituted both bread and cup in remembrance of his sacrifice and in anticipation of his return. In response to the Protestant complaint that this practice violates Jesus’ commands, the Catholic Church addressed it at the Council of Trent. This is an ecumenical council and is infallible (as far as they are concerned). The council decided that it would be official Catholic teaching that laity who eat only the bread and are refused the cup have done enough. They don’t need the cup. A small but important moment demonstrating how false teaching gets enshrined and how Catholics are bound by their magisterium in ways that can keep them from obeying Jesus. Countless Catholics will go to Mass this Sunday and be given only the bread, being denied the cup. Though they do make some exceptions for special feast days. Jesus and the apostles did one thing and the Roman Catholic authority does another.

My answer to this Catholic: (Please read his post first for context) Don’t you hold that Mary was born of a fallen human but she was born without sin? It already seems to be a fixture in your doctrine so that you would have to (to be consistent with your point) believe that God also “fixed the flesh” or Mary’s mother. You’re making an assumption that Mary’s flesh has to be “fixed” when the only answer we have in Scripture isn’t about Mary but about Jesus’ conception and incarnation. I take it that what the apostle’s recorded for us is the sufficient answer. Your question causes an infinite regress where even Eve has to have been kept from the stain of original sin, otherwise how could Mary have been?
In celebration of Reformation Month, I have a couple of questions for Protestants. If Mary was a sinner who needed to be saved like any other sinner, and Jesus took His human nature entirely from her flesh alone, how did He take an unfallen human nature from a fallen source without God first making her unfallen? If He took fallen flesh, He is fallen. If God fixed her flesh at the moment He took it, then God already does exactly what Immaculate Conception says, correct?

The following is parody… I’m posting this again with that disclaimer because, while I thought it was obvious, many people showed me it wasn’t. Parody: “As a Christian I accept Mohammed as a prophet. But I define Mohammed differently. He never gave us tue Quran. He rejected the Quran and all of Islam and was a devout follower of Jesus.” No Muslim would accept the person saying they accept Mohammed and defining him in such a way. And no Christian should accept a Muslim saying they accept Jesus. They don’t. They reject him as a matter of essential dogma. Muslims, read the Gospel of John. Read it for yourself. Why not read the words of Jesus? Why be ashamed of what he said? You’ve been told it’s been changed and corrupted but we have the manuscripts that prove this wrong. Even the Quran exalts the Gospels. Read it.
As a Muslim, I believe in Jesus and accept him as a prophet of God. So let me ask you something. If I can accept Jesus, why can't you consider Muhammad as a prophet of God and the final messenger?

Have you heard a message at a recent Bethel Church conference where a pastor talked about YouTubers who made videos about Bethel? If so, what do you recall about it and who did you think the pastor was talking about?

My video has triggered an official, third part investigation into the fake prophet Gary Morgan! Please spread the word to people who can come forward as witnesses. Email [email protected] if you have info on Gary Morgan, Peter McHugh, or others who participated in his fake prophecy, ministry misconduct, or other pastors who participated in the cover-up that lasted over 10 years. To see my full, nearly six hour video with a ton of evidence and testimony about the fake prophet Gary Morgan and how his sins were covered up by Peter McHugh (and others), search online for "For Ten Years He Got Away With It: The Fake Prophet and His Enablers". Included in this video is a very long zoom call where we confronted Gary Morgan and his two helpers and caught them in lies. In my opinion, an investigation is not needed in light of so much evidence that I have already presented in my video. At least it's not needed to prove what I have already proved. But, I know that this third party investigation can still move a lot of people who just won’t look at the evidence or are biased against me. In addition, Gary has done far more than anything I've put in video and the cover-up of his sinful, fake prophetic ministry involved more leaders. In addition, they are seeking info regarding multiple extra-marital affairs where Gary may have acted as a seductive prophet. This will make a difference.
