  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Televangelist says Christians can create their own worlds

A pastor who regularly calls out false teachers on his popular YouTube channel says televangelist Jesse Duplantis’ teachings that Christians can create their own worlds and possess the same DNA as God is “flat out heresy” and “satanic.”

Chris Rosebrough, the pastor of Kongsvinger Lutheran Church in Oslo, Minnesota, and host of the Christian apologetics podcast "Fighting for the Faith," dissected Duplantis’ Jan. 5 sermontitled “Create Your World and Walk In It,” arguing that it lacks biblical grounding and promotes a dangerous, Gnostic-inspired theology rooted in the New Thought movement rather than Christianity.

Rosebrough began by highlighting Duplantis’ assertion that his prosperity and health stem from creating his own world, a claim he says originated in a conversation with his daughter, Jodie, when she was 10 or 11. Duplantis recounted, “She said, ‘How come everything you touch prospers?’ […] I say, ‘Well, that’s very easy, Jodie, I create my world and I walk in it.’”

Not every silly idea is automatically a heresy or satanic. Sometimes it's just a silly idea. But I'm sure making extravagant claims of heresy and satanism against a silly idea makes for a more popular podcast. Yuck.

The epitome of anti-Christ but thoroughly secular American.
