“And as many as walk according to this rule peace be on them and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” (Galatians 6:16) Wow this is an awesome promise for if we walk according to this rule we will have peace and mercy, but the question is WHAT RULE? RIGHT? Galatians 6:13 says this “For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh”. This verse lets us know that many of the converted Jews wanted the converted Gentiles to be circumcised so that they would fulfill Mosaic Law (about being circumcised) thus being under the law. This meant that the converted Jews could glory in their flesh because they made the converted Gentiles get circumcised. In addition, this was a stab at the Gentiles by the Jews in the sense that if you were not circumcised as the Jews were then you were lower on the “christian” ladder. Also, even though God tells us in other verses that there is neither circumcision or uncircum...

Enter Quimby… The New Thought movement of the late nineteenth century had a profound influence on a number of American leaders in the Divine Healing movement in the first half of the twentieth century who went on to become the fathers of the Positive Confession, or Faith-Formula theology of Pentecostalism.  New Thought was a movement that began after the death of Phineas P. Quimby (1802-66) when a number of his students came together to preserve his teaching. Quimby had developed an alternative system of healing through parapsychology after beginning a career as a mesmerist.

The movement that sprang from his protégé emphasized not only health and healing, but also abundance, prosperity, wealth and happiness. The basic presuppositions of New Thought’s system of divine healing are, firstly, God is all reality and in God i...

Jonathan Karl’s Question: And finally I remember well, you remember well in the campaign, you made a promise. You said, “I will never lie to you.” Can you tell me now, honestly, have you kept that promise at all times? Have you always been  truthful? DJT’s Answer: Well, I try. I do try. I think you try too. You say things about me that aren't necessarily correct [this is called deflection]. I do try, and I always want to tell the truth. When I can, I tell the truth… I have a simple rule and that is if anyone lies to me even one time then I know they will lie to me again if they need to and this man has lied to America thousands of times. Even those close to him say that he will make up his “own truth” when the need arises so he can come out on top and that he has NO issue with telling lies to get ahead. However, those with real spiritual discernment know that he is has been constantly lying to America, however people who claim to be “christians” (aka evangelicals) do ...
