BECOME PART OF THE “GLOBAL BODY OF EVANGELICALS”: WEA INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM & THE UNITED NATIONS IN GLOBAL JUSTICE- SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS.

Christian Post just sent an emailed from CP sponsor World Evangelical Alliance inviting YOU to become a part of their glorious efforts with United Nations Globalist. Below is the full email followed by links to the WEA named programs and efforts in the email .

This email is sent on behalf of our sponsor WEA
Dear friend,
The body of Christ is made up of many parts. Uniquely gifted parts. You are one of them. God bless you for all you do.
Jesus’ prayed in John 17:21:
“… that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”
You see, it’s through unity our faith and His love will be seen as real. It’s through unity our collective voice will help transform many lives. This letter is my invitation to you to become part of the global body of evangelicals.
The WEA has been championing collaboration over individualism to bring the evangelical church together in more effective service and outreach since 1846. Back then child labour and slavery were the big issues and churches in the United Kingdom realized working together would be more effective. And it was! And continues to be today.
The WEA network has grown to comprise and serve national church alliances in 143+ nations. The global Evangelical community has exploded to more than 600 million. Today we’re gathering evangelicals together to accomplish mission that couldn’t otherwise be done.
When we answer Jesus’ prayer – change happens. In Gospel outreach (WEA Mission Commission). In social justice (WEA World Freedom Network). In advocacy for religious freedom (WEA U.N. & World Leader Relations). In peace and reconciliation efforts (WEA PRN & Diaspora Networks). That’s the power of unity. 
So, this is what I’m writing to invite you to. A closer tie with our global evangelical family.  I believe as we work together you will be blessed, and the global evangelical mission will be strengthened.  
Pray with me, 
“Help us Lord as we join together to bring your light,grace, mercy, faith, hope and love to the world.”

If you prayed that prayer with me, please click on any of the buttons below to find out how you can connect directly with our global family. God bless you. I hope to hear from you soon.

In His name, sincerely,Bp. Dr. Thomas Schirrmacher
Secretary General, World Evangelical Alliance
P.S. You probably know many other leaders who should be part of the WEA global family. If so, would you pass this along to them?  Thank you.  CLICK HERE.

P.P.S If you have any questions please let us know at development@worldea.org.

WEA IS GLOWING ABOUT ITS GLOBAL GOALS TIES. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE IF ITS LEADERS ARE WALKING IN THE LIGHT?

Christian Post was more than glad to allow WEA access to their mailing list for the global pitch. These efforts are easily understood through a prophetic lens to be the manifestation of “the Great Apostasy ” or establishment of the apostate “Harlot Church”. Given to embrace of sustainable development/ social justice/ interfaith dialog/multi-faith religions/ false global spirituality and all the above compromises feeding into the loss of the Gospel and a full revisioning of the churches role in the world toward the kingdom of anti-christ and the reprisal of Babylon the Great.

Do NOT FORGET- that this kingdom is false, deceptive, and already under Divine judgement and THAT judgement is certain as Christ Jesus returns to overthrow and take the axe to the root of everything which is not of His planting.

MORE ON WEA GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS THE CHURCH IS BEING IVITED TO JOIN.

(WANT YOUR FAITH AND YOUR CHURCH TO BE A PART OF THE APOSTATE “RIPPLES”?)

Global

“We are an international collective of reflective practitioners that we call Associates. We also have strategic partnerships with organisations and networks from every continent seeking to glorify God in every nation.”

Missions

“Our primary concern is to advance God’s mission as revealed in the Biblical narrative. Missions (plural) is our human response to God’s revelation, resulting in God’s kingdom being extended through faith in Christ.”

Community

“We are an inter-generational global community of missions leaders intersecting alliances, movements, networks, agencies,
churches and ministries with the objective of strengthening participation in God’s mission.”

https://weamc.global/

Our Objective

“We seek to strengthen participation in God’s mission by being a central point of collaboration for missions alliances, movements, networks, agencies, churches and ministries worldwide. Collaboration emerges as leaders from these different groups, with their distinct missions focuses, convene to discuss issues critical to the wellbeing and effective outcomes of global missions and agree on ways to address those issues.”

“Issues discussed consistently include the need:

  • to see the gospel propagated where it is least known
  • to equip Christian leaders in new indigenous movements
  • to increase biblical literacy among followers of Christ, and
  • to nurture Christ-centred communities of faith that positively impact their society for whole-of-life wellbeing
  • with a particular concern for amplifying voices of the Majority World and women in missions conversations.”

WEA PARTNERSHIPS IN MISSION

https://web.archive.org/web/20220222140523/https://weamc.global/what-we-do/partnering/

“Over 250 Mission Commission Associates (MCAs: representative leaders from our global constituency) from 85 national mission movements in 7 regions make up the broader membership of the Mission Commission.”

“We work together in identifying and addressing common issues in the global missions community through joint research, gathering to discuss findings, planning and executing cooperative projects, and developing widely accessible resources that promote the health and growth of Evangelical cross-cultural mission entities around the globe.”

“The Mission Commission will invite and/or welcome other missions entities to “dock” with the MC and its Task Forces or Networks because:

  • The MC Global Leadership Council (GLC) sees the relevance, integrity, value, and leadership governance of these missions bodies and senses the Spirit’s direction to formalize a mutually beneficial relationship.
  • The new relationship affirms mutual value added to both the docking entity and the MC.
  • The entities demonstrate a deep commitment to cross-cultural mission.
  • The entities purposefully serve regional and national missionary associations or movements, as well as key networks that are already part of the MC.
  • The entities are committed to transparency in funding and governance.”

“Every third year the Executive Committee of the GLC (ExCo) will reevaluate the mutual value of the relationship with a view to reaffirming the docking agreement.”

“A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will guide the participation of an entity within the MC. It sets the terms of the relationship, including expectations around resource sharing. This document intends to give freedom for the docking entity to fully enjoy and explore potential of the MC community and contains details about the relationship and participation expectations.”

“For more information on how to dock with the WEA MC, download the guide here, or enquire via our Contact Page.”

WEA HELPING SHAPE GLOBAL THEOLOGY.

“The International Council for Evangelical Theological Education (ICETE) will hold an online consultation on Formal and Non-Formal Theological Education in Dialogue on16 and 17 November 13:00-16:00 UTC.  This is the beginning of a year-long conversation on how formal and non-formal theological education might build trusted relationships and meaningful collaboration to prepare shepherds worldwide for the church’s mission. “

“Theresa Lua, Director of Global Theology invites the WEA community to join. “We want to hear your voices as we discuss the gap between formal and non-formal theological education and the impact of that gap on the church. This conversation is relevant as WEA seeks to facilitate collaboration among the training networks and to implement different approaches to theological education to meet the great need for trained pastors and workers for the mission of the church.” “

“Speakers in this consultation will include Bishop Efrain Tendero (WEA Global Ambassador), Dr. Manfred Kohl (Re-Forma), and Dr. Graham Aylett (Increase) and leaders from the ICETE network.”

Please watch this invitation from the ICETE International Director, Dr. Michael Ortiz: “

WEA NEW YORK OFFICES -“PART OF THE FURNITURE” AT UNITED NATIONS.

“WEA UN NEW YORK LIAISON”

“Educate and engage WEA constituents (regional and national alliances, global partners and associate members) about and with the work of the United Nations. Many of our constituents are already working on issues of social justice. With this, the role of the UN Liaison office in New York is to connect the work of our constituencies to the work, resources and platform of the United Nations.”

“We seek to engage in the various NGO processes that exist to bring the evangelical perspective to issues of peace and security, development and human rights. This can be done through engaging with UN Department of Public Information, UN Economic and Social Council and also NGO Working Groups.”

“We seek to meet, work and engage with governments and UN offices and agencies. This is done by introductory emails with the representatives seeking ways in which we can work together.Our goal is to educate our constituents on the work of the United Nations. We do this through various communication channels: website, news/articles, social media and webinars. We also connect and engage WEA constituents with UN platforms.”

“The United Nations work in peace and security, development and human rights is relevant in our world today. With that, the United Nations and governments recognize the role of civil society in promoting a peaceful world. Furthermore, there is an increasing understanding of the role faith based organizations can play in the work of the United Nations within its three pillars–peace and security, development and human rights. This is observed through various UN offices and agencies creating faith based initiatives.”

“As a witness of our faith, God provides us here with a unique societal opportunity. Increasingly the awareness also surfaces that people of faith in general and evangelicals in particular are valuable parts of societies. We seek to raise the voice of local churches and national alliances who experience and live in many of the issues the UN discusses, debates and acts on.”

New York Leadership

“John J. Girgis, Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York”

CONCLUSION

The World Evangelical Alliance and affiliates, subsidiaries, extensions and partners like The Lausanne Movement, National Association of Evangelicals and those global missions and parachurch organizations and big face preachers who promote the WEA vision are selling apostasy if they truly think the United Nations is a Gospel Driven entity or that UN 17 Global Sustainability Goals are “Great Commission” compatible. They are NOT.

Neither Jesus nor Peter nor Paul nor any of the apostles attempted in any way to align the church with Rome or its systems ,or its government, it’s conquest , its vision, its Senate, or Ceasar nor its IDOLS.

WEA and other UN absorbed organizations are joined to the IDOL or global governance- issue global justice / equity/ human rights (as defined by critical theory indoctrinated globalism) and a false vision of a global spirituality for a New Age – layed out years ago in “The New Genesis ”

New Genesis: Shaping a Global Spirituality

HOSEA 4:

15 “Though you, Israel, play the harlot,
Let not Judah offend.
Do not come up to Gilgal,
Nor go up to Beth Aven,
Nor swear an oath, saying, ‘As the Lord lives’—

16 “For Israel is stubborn
Like a stubborn calf;
Now the Lord will let them forage
Like a lamb in open country.

17 “Ephraim is joined to idols,
Let him alone.
18 Their drink is rebellion,
They commit harlotry continually.
Her rulers dearly love dishonor.
19 The wind has wrapped her up in its wings,
And they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

COORDINATED VILIFICATION OF “CHRISTIAN” CONSERVATIVES DEEPENS FOR 2024 ELECTION CYC LE.

TOO MANY CHRISTIANS TOOK THE BAIT BY ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BECOME IDENTIFIED AS “CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST”. GUYS LIKE ALBERT MOHLER , WHO ONCE CONDEMNED CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM AND THE “NATCON3” EVENT HELPED TO RALLY BELIEVERS AROUND THE FALSE IDENTITY. NOW THE COORDINATED BACKLASH OF ACCUSATION AND EXTREMISM HAS BEGUN AND IT IS COMING FROM THE EMERGENT -FAR LEFT OF EVANGELICALISM.

Rev Thomas Littleton

4-22-2023

( NOTE- the Rhetoric speaks for itself – from Vote Common Good event website:)

“What We Are Doing -“Many Evangelical and Catholic voters have been taught that to be faithful, they must vote for Republican candidates regardless of the candidate’s character or policy positions.”

“In recent years a significant percentage of these voters have watched the Republican party disregard a commitment to the common good as they support political and social movements rooted in white-nationalism, a misguided approach to “America First,” and practices of division.”

“This was highlighted by the treacherous insurrection and attack on Congress on January 6, 2021, and the continued spreading of the “big lie” about the 2020 Presidential election outcome.”

“Many Evangelical and Catholic voters are experiencing a reckoning of their faith and feel called to oppose policies and approaches of division, racism, selfishness, cruelty, and exclusion.”)

THE REAL PROBLEM -APART FROM THE RHETORIC –

Biblical Christian conservatives have long fought efforts by the left to paint them “Extremist” and as a “threat to American” and to “Democracy”. Labels and public finger pointing in the media are generally all that is needed to ramp up the anti Christian emotions and isolate convictional believers. It also helps to have a ton of money and the help of a complicit media like Doug Pagitt and “Vote Common Good ” and other similar activist and organizations.

Launch of the new and expanded chapter in the attack on Christians conservatives as”Christian nationalist” was helped along by liberal Religion News Service and an article by “Ruth Braunstein is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut and the director of the Meanings of Democracy Lab

HERE COMES THE LAUNCH OF THE 2024 HATE ON CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS.

“Doug Pagitt, center, speaks during a Vote Common Good rally at a United Church of Christ in Fresno, California, on Jan. 19, 2020. Video screen grab.”

(RNS) — “Christian nationalism — the idea that being Christian is core to the American identity — is nothing new, either in American religious culture or its politics. But it used to be a radical proposal, and holding Christian nationalist views disqualified politicians and even clergy from higher leadership. Recently, however, it has been embraced as a badge of honor. A sitting member of Congress has sold “Proud Christian Nationalist” T-shirts on her website. Books defending Christian nationalism are given serious discussion. And according to a recent survey from PRRI, nearly one-third of Americans now hold Christian nationalist attitudes.”

“These developments rightfully raise concern. But there is another, relatively untold, side of this story: The most recent rise of Christian nationalism has ignited a wave of resistance.”

THE RHETORIC- SHAPING A “PLURALIST RESISTANCE

According to PRRI, Americans who have heard of Christian nationalism are twice as likely to hold a negative than a positive view of the term. These Americans also reject the specific ideas associated with the ideology. Indeed, the 3 in 10 Americans that PRRI found who align with Christian nationalism to some degree are opposed by nearly the same percentage (29%) who completely reject the ideas associated with Christian nationalism. Another 39% is skeptical.”

“Most importantly, these Americans are joining a growing movement I call the pluralist resistance. They are taking action through a diverse set of organizations that each tackles a different dimension of Christian nationalism’s influence.”

THE GROUPS INVOLVED AND THEIR TACTICS

Christians Against Christian Nationalism and Vote Common Good are the most visible of the groups attempting just that. Amanda Tyler of the Baptist Joint Committee, which leads the Christians Against Christian Nationalism coalition, has been speaking around the country to raise alarms about the dangers of Christian nationalism. Last December, she testified before a House subcommittee about the role Christian nationalism played in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.”

Vote Common Good recently completed a “March on Christian Nationalism” campaign, which builds on the group’s year-round work to educate Christians about how to identify and confront Christian Nationalism through podcasts, webinars and a state-of-the art training program, titled “Confronting Christian Nationalism Curriculum,” for faith community leaders and individuals.”

THE TRAINING AND THE END GAME .

Vote Common Good actually has online training videos and indoctrination tools

This free three-session video and discussion curriculum includes 17 video segments and guided discussion resources to help participants:

  • Develop an understanding of Christian Nationalism
  • Explore research-based characteristics of American Christian Nationalism
  • Incorporate responses to Christian nationalism
  • Learn ways to talk with those who adhere to Christian nationalism
  • Consider some Scripture passages that remind us how to interact with others lovingly, even when we do not agree

Questions addressed include:

  • Was America founded as a Christian nation?
  • What does Christian Nationalism look like in the United States?
  • Is there a difference between conservative Christianity and Christian nationalism?
  • Is Christian nationalism embraced only by a fringe element in America?
  • How should the Christian church think about Christian Nationalism?
  • How can I talk with those who embrace Christian nationalism.

THE “PRO DEMOCRACY”-ANTI INSURRECTION -CANDIDATE TRAINING

“We Create Contexts for Direct Contact with Voters”

“Through the Faith, Hope, & Love: Not Insurrections and Christian Nationalism Tour, we will hold events in states with the most significant impact on the 2022 and 2024 elections. We are working to change the too commonly believed narrative “that people of faith must support Republicans.” We accomplish this through various messaging efforts and working extensively with the media to convey the message of voting for the common good.”

We Train Candidates Running for Office

“We instruct, coach, and consult candidates on connecting with and speaking authentically to faith motivated voters.”

END GAME OUTCOMES

The end game is a fight for the soul of America’s churches , Christian Youth and for …of course Christian Votes.

“One pivotal front of this battle is in the nation’s churches. Conservative Christians, lured by new online platforms and hyper-partisanship, have been sucked into a vortex of right-wing disinformation, conspiracy theories and fear. They are repeatedly told by right-wing influencers and politicians that Christians need to “take their country back.” Mistrustful of outsiders, these believers can only be convinced of the threat Christian nationalism holds for our democracy and to Christianity itself if other Christians are doing the talking.”

THE THEATRICS OF CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

MUCH of the push for Christian Nationalism labeling also came from leftist “Conservative Christians in Name Only” like Russell Moore and David French – Others considered to be far more theologically sound and even some trusted Christian journalism outlets joined the confusing chorus seeking to draft evangelical’s political and cultural identity around the false and sticky trap label of “Christian Nationalism.”

HOW CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM WAS PROMOTED BY A JEWISH THINK TANK, A GAY LIBERTARIAN BILLIONAIRE , EVANGELICALS LIKE ALBERT MOHLER AND NEWLY POPULAR ” EVANGELICAL JOURNALIST” “MEGAN BASHAM.

2022’s NATCON is just one example of the how the honey trap FEATURING “Christian Nationalism ” as an mainstream IDEOLOGY was set for Conservative Believers.

NATCON’s WEBSITE PROMOTES THE NARRATIVE AND BOOKS LIKE

“The Case for Christian Nationalism “

“Stephen Wolfe”

Evangelical elites and the progressive media complex want you to think that Christian nationalism is hopelessly racist, bigoted, and an idol for right-wing Christians. Is Christian nationalism the golden calf of the religious right—or is it the only way forward?

“In The Case for Christian Nationalism, Stephen Wolfe offers a tour-de-force argument for the good of Christian nationalism, taken from Scripture and Christian thinkers ancient, medieval, and modern. Christian nationalism is not only the necessary alternative to secularism, it is the form of government we must pursue if we want to love our neighbors and our country.”

“Wolfe shows that the world’s post-war consensus has successfully routed the United States towards a gynocratic Global American Empire (GAE). Rather than the religious right’s golden calf, Christian nationalism is the idea that people in the same place and culture should live together and seek one another’s good. The grace of the gospel does not eliminate our geography, our people, and our neighbors. Instead, it restores us to pursue local needs and local leadership freely and without apology.”

“If you want to be able to answer the political debate raging today, you must understand the arguments in The Case for Christian Nationalism.”

NatCon 3

“The National Conservatism Conference brings together public figures, journalists, scholars, and students who understand that the past and future of conservatism are inextricably tied to the idea of the nation, to the principle of national independence, and to the revival of the unique national traditions that alone have the power to bind a people together and bring about their flourishing.”

“Dr. Albert Mohler serves as president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which is the flagship school of the Southern Baptist Convention and one of the largest seminaries in the world. He has written nine books and authored thousands of articles on a wide range of topics. His most recent book is The Gathering Storm: Secularism, Culture, and the Church (Thomas Nelson, 2020).”

“Dr. Albert Mohler spoke on the topic: “‘Your God Will Have Been Supplanted by an Idol’: The Dangerous Illusion of a ‘Secular’ State”

“Megan Basham is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic and a culture reporter for the Daily Wire and a frequent contributor to Morning Wire. In her previous role as an entertainment editor and podcast co-host for World Magazine, she interviewed numerous A-list celebrities. She has also written for the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and Townhall. She is the author of Beside Every Successful Man: A Woman’s Guide to Having It All (Random House, 2008).”

“Megan Basham spoke on the topic: “How Pastors are Compromising the Gospel to Appease the Left”

CONCLUSION

After a several years of rally cries AROUND “Christian Nationalism ” identity- perhaps some Biblical conservatives can now see what a honey trap the entire movement has been and will have learned a very expensive lesson – costly to both the church and the America. Or maybe they have not. learned it.

FEMINIST THEOLOGICAL MOVEMENT BEHIND THE ENNEAGRAMS FLOOD INTO THE CHURCH.

AS THE PRIMARY LEADER OF “THE GOSPEL FOR ENNEAGRAM” ADMITS TO THE OCCULTIC/NEW AGE AND JESUIT TIES OF THE ENNEAGRAM, FEMINIST ARE TOUTING IT AS “THE TOOL TO TAKE THEIR MOVEMENT FORWARD”- NO DOUBTS REMAIN AS TO THE ORIGINS AND THE OUTCOMES OF THE ENNEAGRAM’S SURGE IN THE CHURCH.

Rev Thomas Littleton

4/18/2023

Multiple deadly realities face the church and Christians at the moment. The # MeToo movement opened the door for a flood of feminist efforts in the church and among them are forced compliance to DE&I metrics and the sudden SURGE of the Enneagram.

Coupled with Critical Theory , Feminine Theory, Feminist Theology, Intersectionality and a host of racial and sexual minorities behind them- feminist activist both outside and inside the church see themselves as Challengers and Reformers seeking justice and to “fix the broken system” of “male dominated society”.Meanwhile, as they are willing to celebrate the more feminized men who present no threat to progress, the enneagram aids in activist assertions of having found their true selves and identified their personality types and giftings. Culture, Corporations, Institutions and the Church must all make room for their vision of self and revolution to change the status quo.

THE GOSPEL FOR ENNEAGRAM LEADER ADMITS TO THE NEW AGE OCCULTIC ORIGINS OF ENNEAGRAM AND USE BY JESUITS.

“Is The Enneagram Useful for Christians? Tyler Zach, Pastor, Author & Type 3”

THE ROAD BACK TO YOU !!!”

TYLER ZACH FROM GOSPEL FOR ENNEAGRAM SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTO

“In a nutshell, the first mention of the Enneagram was by the philosopher Gurdjieff, and then Bolivian born Oscar Ichazo picked it up from him and sought to connect it to the area personality. Claudia Naranjo from Chile, who was one of Ichazo’s students, taught him the center’s triads and some other things, and Naranjo is the one who really built out the personality types, the Ennea types, and then brought it to the states to begin teaching the Enneagram to people like Helen Palmer and Father Robert Oaks, who I believe, taught the Enneagram to the Jesuit school of Theology.”

“From there, Don Riso taught the Enneagram after it spread through the Catholic communities and in 1997, he co-founded the widely known Enneagram Institute. And then Suzanne Stabile began teaching the Enneagram, and I believe Ian Cron was a student of hers, and they paired up to write the wildly popular “Road Back to You” which really catapulted the Enneagram into evangelical and Protestant circles.”

“Finally, Beth and Jeff McCord, who have been studying it long before the “Road Back to You” came out, grew a wonderful ministry teaching it through a gospel lens.”

“Here’s where the problem comes in, though: Ichazo claimed to receive knowledge about the Enneagram from an angel, and his student Naranjo claimed to receive the Ennea types through a practice called automatic writing, a process where you relax your mind and allow messages to flow through you, either from your sub-conscious, or could be a divine source, which is New Age practice. So that is definitely concerning!”

“Just to get right to the heart of the matter, we should ask the question if some of the Enneagram’s origins do have New Age roots or occultist roots; and if so, should this fact alone be enough for Christians to stop using the Enneagram? I would say that even in light of those things, we can still use the Enneagram”

IS IT TRULY SAFE TO SAY “ALL TRUTH IS GOD”S TRUTH? -NOT ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS REBUKE OF FALSE GODS/RELIGIONS AND IDEOLOGIES

Deuteronomy 12:30-32

30 take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise.’ 31 You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way; for every [a]abomination to the Lord which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods.

32 “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.”

YET TYLER ZACH ASSERTS-

… “There is a saying, “all truth is God’s truth.” You can look at church history: Augustine loved reading the Greek philosophers, like philosopher Plotinus, and much of his writing flowed out of that; Thomas Aquinas loved Aristotle, and he made use of philosophy and his theology. What I’ve concluded is that Christians can glean wisdom from non-Christian sources, as long as they don’t adopt a secular worldview. There is a healthy medium there of not adopting the culture or unhealthy worldviews, but also, because of the theology of common grace, being able to look at what our doctors have learned, what scientists have learned, what psychologists have learned, and glean from those things (because all truth is God’s truth) but to put it into a biblical worldview.”

Feminism & The Enneagram

A Talk by Evan Barbee
Enneagram Consultant

ABOUT THIS TALK

“Feminism & the Enneagram” focuses on how the modern Enneagram system might offer insight into a new approach to feminism and the women’s movement. While respecting those who have fought for equality, championed women’s rights and made enormous sacrifices to heal a broken system, it is also important to consider how we will carry this legacy forward. What does the moment require? What does our culture need? The Enneagram system can support us in the process of asking difficult questions, working with historically painful problems and finding our own best answers.

“The Challenger is considered the powerful, domineering type; self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational. They’re known to be independent, determined, and tough. Although, if we admit it and allow others to see it, we are softer and more vulnerable on the inside than most would think.”

“While people often see those attributes—primarily when an unhealthy eight operates from those places—they aren’t who we really are, are they?”

“What one person sees as pride is our confidence. What is seen as a lack of emotion is really just us protecting ourselves. What is seen as plowing forward is our drive for justice. “

LGBTQIA and the Enneagram”

“What does it mean if I regard myself as being LGBTQIA when it comes to the Enneagram? How will that affect my Type? Will it make a difference?”

“There’s a short answer to this and it’s simply: “It won’t.” That’s one of the reasons I love the Enneagram. Irrespective of race, religion, location, sexual inclination and anything else that we use to define ourselves, as far as the Enneagram is concerned, it makes no difference.”

“Whether you’re a city slicker in New York, or living in a small hut in rural Africa, if you’re a Type Five, you’ll display the same Passions and Fixations of your Type. Your Fivish desire for alone space may show-up differently according to your circumstances, but your motivations remain the same.”

“Similarly, an African tribesman then, you may enjoy time alone in the bush, while your American counterpart heads for his man-cave in the backyard. Both of you will find being with others constantly, draining.”

“Do certain Types have more LGBTQIA people?”

“A question I’ve been asked a few times is: “Do certain types have more people of LGBTQIA types?” There’s no volume of research data on this to my knowledge. The late Claudio Naranjo however, believed that certainly in the Western world, there is a predominance of men on the left side of the Enneagram (Types 5, 6, 7 and 8) and women on the right (Types 1, 2, 3 and 4).”

“I see this as being male versus female energy rather than necessarily actual men or woman. In Naranjo’s words “seduction” versus “rebellion.” So, Type 2’s and 4’s are known to be more archetypally feminine in their energy, sitting opposite the more masculine T

CONCLUSION

How can the mainstream Christian Church and believers maintain biblical faithfulness and biblical foundations while following the massive surge of the enneagram with its admittedly new age/ occult origins and use by the compromised Christian movements promoting feminism and feminist theology and every critical theory under the sun?

The answer is THEY CANNOT. This surge of the enneagram among conservative Christians and counseling is proof positive that we are on a collision course with judgement for our own mingled efforts subjecting Gospel Truth to idolatry and error .

Exodus 20:3-5

“You shall have no other gods before Me.

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,”

NUMBERS 33

Instructions for the Conquest of Canaan

50 Now the Lord spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho, saying, 51 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan, 52 then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, destroy all their engraved stones, destroy all their molded images, and demolish all their high places; 53 you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess. 54 And you shall divide the land by lot as an inheritance among your families; to the larger you shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance; there everyone’s inheritance shall be whatever falls to him by lot. You shall inherit according to the tribes of your fathers. 55 But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be irritants in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land where you dwell. 56 Moreover it shall be that I will do to you as I thought to do to them.’ ”

REVELATION 2

12 “And to the [f]angel of the church in Pergamos write,”

“‘These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, [g]which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.”

The Corrupt Church

18 “And to the [h]angel of the church in Thyatira write,

‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.”

MAINSTREAMING THE ENNEAGRAM: UNDISCERNING CHRISTIANS FACE YET ANOTHER OCCULTIC INVASION.

IT IS PROBLEMATIC ENOUGH THAT THE CHURCH IS GIVEN TO MANIPULATIVE MARKETING PLOYS AND CULTURAL TRENDS BUT IT IS FAR WORSE WHEN THOSE TRENDS ARE ROOTED IN THE OCCULT AND DEADLY MYSTICISM.

Rev Thomas Littleton

4-8-2023

In recent years the groundswell of interest in using the Enneagram for gifting and personality test in churches and Christian institutions has now created a virtual bubble which is bound to explode in many messy and harmful ways inside the church.

The Enneagram is best understood by looking at its origins and among other groups who use it. Given its ties to the New Age religious systems and to the Jewish Mysticism -Kabbalah , it is impossible to suggest that the Enneagram is neutral ground or a safe space for believers.

ENNEAGRAM AND KABBALAH

NOTE-The development of the Jewish Mysticism of Kabbalah is at the heart of the idolatry and spiritual practices accumulated by God’s people during years of disobedience,idolatry and captivity which brought them spiritual ruin resulting in utter blindness to their own Heaven sent Messiah – Jesus.

CONFIRMING THE OCCULT ORIGINS AMONG JEWISH MYSTICS WHO CLAIM SPECIAL ENLIGHTENMENT .

“Kabbalah, also spelled Kaballah, Qabalah, or Cabalah, developed between the 6th and 13th centuries among the Jews in Babylonia, Italy, Provence, and Spain. The word “Kabbalah” means “to receive” and refers to revelation from God received by Jews first used by mainstream Judaism but later came to refer to those who believed that only a select few were given the secret knowledge from God as to the “true” meaning of Scriptures. Kabbalah uses occult practices and is considered to be a cult.”

The Relationship between the Enneagram and Kabbalah

Tuesday, September 6, 2022 

“The Enneagram is an open source personality typing system that has been developed over millennia by several spiritual traditions. It is a model of nine distinct but interconnected personality archetypes arranged around a star-like shape. For individuals, the Enneagram is used to increase self-awareness, reduce blind spots, and motivate self-management. For families and organizations, the Enneagram is used to improve relationships and interpersonal dynamics. Like the Kabbalistic Tree of Life (the sefirot), the Enneagram is considered a sacred map of consciousness. Like the Tree of Life, the Enneagram reveals the nature of reality and the true essence of our soul underlying the personality that we portray to the world. As Rabbi Howard A. Addison writes in The Enneagram and Kabbalah: Reading Your Soul, “when brought together, the Enneagram and Kabbalah may enhance understanding of humanity’s deepest motivations—both individually and collectively—thus opening wider the gate to personal growth.”

THE ENNEAGRAM AND THE CATHOLIC ECUMENICAL FRIAR

NOTE- THE FRIARS DENIAL OF THE SUBSTITUTIONARY ATONEMENT

“Jesus dies ‘for’ us not in the sense of ‘a substitute for us’ but ‘in solidarity with’ the suffering of all.” —Richard Rohr

“This Good Friday, contemplative wisdom reminds us that by surrendering his life on the cross out of love for all creation, Jesus places himself in solidarity with all suffering. Richard Rohr writes, “The Paschal Mystery cannot be made clear without Christ’s surrendering love to God. It begins with the Incarnation and culminates in the Resurrection—for him and for each of us!”

“We invite you to join us in spending the day in solidarity with those suffering. As you complete your daily tasks like washing dishes, making dinner, paying bills, or anything else, reflect on how the phrase “I stand with those who are suffering” resonates within your body. What sensations do you experience?”We invite you to join us in spending the day in solidarity with those suffering. As you complete your daily tasks like washing dishes, making dinner, paying bills, or anything else, reflect on how the phrase “I stand with those who are suffering” resonates within your body. What sensations do you experience?”

“THE GOSPEL AND THE ENNEAGRAM

The movement is growing fast to mainstream the Enneagram as totally compatible with Christian faitha nd discipleship. Jesus is even called a Perfect One – or Perfect Two.. or Five or Six of Nine …which ever helps you “identify with Christ” in your Enneagram experience. Christianity Today editor and former head ethicist for the Southern Baptist Convention is one of the pitchmen for the Gospel Enneagram movement.

The Enneagram Personality Test and Personal Development: How the Enneagram Can Help You Grow and Transform

“The Enneagram is an ancient personality typing system. It has various iterations, including one with a strong Christian growth path. For years, Christian spiritual directors used the Enneagram in spiritual direction.”

“The Enneagram was a closely guarded tool not intended for use by the general public. However, across time, use of the Enneagram has moved from that exclusive domain into the hands of everyday people. It has proven to be one of the most valuable tools in helping my clients begin to see themselves more clearly.”

“Over the last several months, I have witnessed some remarkable growth in many of my clients as we have begun to use the Enneagram personality test as a guide for their clinical work.”

FROM “SOUL GRIT RESOURCES ” CHRISTIAN COUNSELING

“Christians, Therapy, and the Enneagram”

“… The Enneagram is not religion. It cannot be substituted for knowledge of the Bible, a relationship with Jesus, or the saving grace of the Gospel. Let’s get that straight first. You need Jesus. Your clients need Jesus. The Enneagram has been a helpful tool for me to understand myself, develop compassion for others, and learn how to point us to the work of Jesus on the cross. If you are reading anything that leads you away from seeking Christ alone, put it down and find a resource that helps you see Jesus more clearly”

ALSO NOTE – Counselors in general are becoming more and more reliant on the Enneagram.

ENNEAGRAM AND CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Liberty University CMHC professor Dr. Deborah Braboy is an enneagram coach.

Utilizing the Enneagram in Supervision: Facilitating Self- and Other-Awareness in Supervisees

From Deborah Braboy July 26th, 2022  

Westminster School at Oak Mountain PCA Church was the subject on controversy resulting in some significant course correction efforts when the “Conservative ” church school used the Enneagram as a tool for helping the incoming senior class chart education and career paths during an end of Summer Retreat.

A SAN ANTONIO PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ALSO USED THE ENNEAGRAM AS A RETREAT THEME IN 2020.

W.O.W. RETREAT

February 21-23, 2020 at Camp Capers in Comfort, TX:

9 Ways to Wholeness

“The Enneagram is a dynamic system for understanding ourselves (and others). Unlike many of the more static personality typing models, the Enneagram leads us to deep self awareness, and personal transformation, helping us discover our true selves, beyond our ego and default behaviors. The Enneagram doesn’t put you in a box, but helps you see the box you already inhabit (and offers ways to get out!) The nine ways of experiencing and being in the world articulated by the Enneagram, help us live beyond our knee-jerk, default reactions and behaviors, and engage God, the world, and ourselves with fewer obstacles, and more compassion and understanding. In our weekend together, you will gain an understanding of the Enneagram system, identify your number, and cultivate some tools for self awareness and transformation.”

WHERE DOES IT END?

WARNINGS AGAINST THE ENNEAGRAM ARE GOING MOSTLY UNHEEDED – JUST LIKE THE WARNINGS AGAINST OTHER DANGEROUS INFLUENCES ALREADY INSIDE THE CHURCH.

“Richard Rohr and the Enneagram Secret Paperback – April 18, 2020”

“Many in America and indeed around the world attend church to learn about God, to learn about ourselves and to connect with God and others. Along with that is a general belief that the church will be spiritually safe. After all, the best source of knowledge about God comes from His self-revelation which is contained in His inspired, inerrant word, the Bible. Many things can be confusing when trying to figure out the Bible on your own. Pastors and church leaders are looked to and relied on to carefully teach and guide the church family. They are trusted to keep false teaching outside the doors, preventing it from springing up within the church. Unfortunately, false teaching operates on a spiritual level like a virus does on a physical level. A pastor, elder or someone they trust may be introduced to new idea, spiritual tool or concept from what is believed to be a reliable source. It may be embraced as a path to a better understanding of God and self. Perhaps it offers a way to greater spiritual growth and perhaps numerical growth for the church. Even with the best intentions and efforts of spiritual leaders, they become spiritually infected and in turn, pass it on to the flock they care for. We would suggest that is what we have been witnessing with so many who have embraced Richard Rohr and the Enneagram he has delivered into the church through his disciples.”

“The claims for the Enneagram are simple. Supposedly it is an ancient tool used by some of the Early Church Fathers. It is claimed to be the “face of God” and each Enneagram number is an individual spiritual path to deeper spiritual understanding and fuller self-awareness. But what if this is one of the largest deceptions we have seen perpetrated on the church in a very long time?”

CONCLUSION

Co mingling belief systems of the occult and rooted in idolatry do not end well.Nothing good comes from it -never has and NEVER WILL.

Joshua proves that this is not a new problem and answers with the strongest of rebukes.

JOSHUA 24 :

14 “Now therefore, fear the Lord, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of [d]the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord! 15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of [e]the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

16 So the people answered and said: “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods; 17 for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed. 18 And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We also will serve the Lord, for He is our God.”

19 But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve the Lord, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 20 If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after He has done you good.”

UPDATE :IS THE DE&I COMPLIANCE AGENDA IN THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST /GUIDEPOST PARTNERSHIP DYING FROM EXPOSURE AND ITS OWN ABUSES?

TWO MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS HAVE LEFT THE SEX ABUSE “INVESTIGATION” NARRATIVE EXPOSED AND UNABLE TO CONTINUE PROVIDING UNQUESTIONED COVER FOR THE DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION AGENDA IN THE CHURCH. PERHAPS AN EVEN LARGER FAILURE IS BREWING.

Rev Thomas Littleton

4/3/2023

( NOTE- Abuse has taken place in churches and has been covered up at times. Even during the SBC “investigations” into the problem the fact that much of the abuse involved same sex and pedophilia has not been included in the narrative nor much of the “fix”. But in the HIGHLY politicized and agenda driven #ChurchToo realm- perception is truth and Critical Theories are the language of choice. God is still going to bring even the most deeply buried truth to light at His accounting. Victims must pray and forgive and move forward- and not look to these players for justice. Vengeance is mine says the Lord .I will repay. Romans 12:19-21 )

BAPTIST LEADERS:CLUELESS OR COMPLICIT WITH DE&I OPERATION?

Southern Baptist Convention leaders have displayed disturbing ignorance and inclinations in the last 6 years as the movement has sought to respond to its reported “sex abuse and coverup scandal “. For ONE- Baptist leaders do not seem to recognize feminism or activism nor do they seem to understand what Diversity Equity and Inclusion outcomes will mean for their movement and the trusting churches who are following them. In addition Baptist leaders show utter ignorance or gullibility when it comes to choosing “partners” to bring credibility to their “investigation” and remedies. In fact these Baptist leaders have shown an almost “FETISH -LIKE ” inclination toward the worst kind of PRO-LGBTQUAI and DE&I compliance organizations and firms in the #MeToo realm. How engaging such organizations and firms is supposed to be helpful to the SBC in remaining faithful to God and His Word remains a mystery.By all appearances this is just another chapter in a tangled web of collusion that is only now, after 6 years, coming to the surface in the cesspool of #ChurchToo.

THE FIRST OF TWO COLLAPSING PIECES OF THE “SCANDAL”.

Accusations exploded against an iconic figure of the Baptist “Conservative Resurgence” of the late 1970’s. Paige Patterson being accused launched the SBC into the #MeToo/ Cancel Culture and the international media spotlight. Attacks came from all sides including the feminist wing of the SBC itself and the gielding prophets who serve their long game agenda. Lawsuits began taking flight but now the one involving Paige Patterson and the launch sequence accusations HAS BEEN DISMISSED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE. See Christian Post headline and actual court decision from the Judge.

“Federal judge dismisses major abuse lawsuit against Southern Baptist Convention leader.”

Heading on the court documents

“Roe v. Patterson et al”

Filing 454

“MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER. It is ORDERED that the parties’ objections to the negligence summary judgment evidence, (Dkt. # 296 , # 315 ), are GRANTED in part. Specifically, with the exception of objections that have been expressly granted b y this memorandum opinion and order, all other objections are DENIED as moot. It is further ORDERED that Defendants’ negligence summary judgment motions, (Dkt. # 239 , # 257 ), are GRANTED. It is further ORDERED that all of Plaintiff Jane Roe’s negligence and gross negligence claims against Defendants Patterson and SWBTS are DISMISSED with prejudice. Signed by District Judge Sean D. Jordan on 03/25/2023. (las, )”

(A dismissal with prejudice means that the ruling is the final judgment in the case. The dismissal prohibits the prosecutor from refiling the charges)

So it actually looks like that the MUCH HYPED personal attacks against Paige Patterson by Southern Baptist progressives like Russell Moore, Albert Mohler and (soon to be former) SEBTS professor Karen Swallow Prior, among others, were just denominational politics seeking to remove Patterson and topple his status among Conservatives.It then started the cancel culture ball rolling among other long time leaders.

The “CAKE WALK” style in which the abuse “scandal” operation has been deployed has made it a bit too obvious that other agendas were in the wings and unbiblical end games where in play given where the operation is supposed to take the SBC. NO other set of actions in the SBC #ChurchToo has made the hokey nature of the “scandal” MORE OBVIOUS than the repeated and obsessive choice of Guidepost Solutions as the SBC’s go to investigation and resolution parter. Now Guidepost Solution is getting exposed and becoming the cause for growing pushback. But is it too little too late?

THE SECOND LAYER TO PEEL AWAY

Florida’s State Baptist Convention has had enough of their missions offerings going into the SBC Cooperative Funding to pay Guidepost Solutions and its pro-LGBTQ stance.

MARCH 31 2023

“Florida Baptist Convention’s State Board Of Missions Responds To Recent Announcement Concerning Guidepost Solutions

JACKSONVILLE–Florida Baptists’ State Board of Missions, acting ad interim on behalf of the Florida Baptist State Convention, unanimously approved a resolution March 31 expressing deep concern with the utilization of Guidepost Solutions or its subsidiary Faith Based Solutions.” ( Note Faith Based Solutions” was begun inside Guidepost Solutions to handle it’s growing business in the #ChurchToo industry .)

“While affirming “policies and procedures governing abuse prevention, abuse reporting and survivor care,” the resolution stated that “choosing to retain individuals or organizations which actively promote world-views contrary to the teachings of Scripture is simply not good stewardship of the Cooperative Program dollars.”

The resolution, in its entirety, reads as follows:

A Resolution of the State Board of Missions of the Florida Baptist State Convention Concerning the Decisions by the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee and the Abuse Reform Implementation Task Force to Retain Guidepost Solutions.”

So-“

Whereas the State Board of Missions recommended at the 2021 annual meeting of our state convention the establishment of a taskforce to provide for an independent professional review of all policies and procedures of the convention and its cooperating ministries related to abuse prevention, abuse reporting and survivor care and the results of this review were shared with messengers at the 2022 annual meeting. The taskforce summarized the findings by stating there were “no overwhelming flaws in the policies and procedures”;

Whereas at the 2021 Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville, TN, messengers voted to establish a Sexual Abuse Task Force and in September 2021 that taskforce recommended and engaged Guidepost Solutions to carry out an independent assessment and investigation of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention; 

Whereas in May 2022 the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention separately retained Guidepost Solutions to establish an abuse reporting hotline;

Whereas in June 2022, just prior to the Annual Meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in Anaheim, California, Guidepost Solutions (the organization hired by the Sexual Abuse Task force of the Southern Baptist Convention) made public statements affirming sexual values at odds with the teaching of Scripture and the convictions of Florida Baptists by publicly supporting the LGBTQ movement;

SHOW ME THE MONEY…OR DON’T :THE WITHHOLDING OF CP FUNDS IS WHAT REALLY GETS NASHVILLE’S ATTENTION

 Whereas Florida Baptist churches have been leaders in Cooperative Program support, contributing 51% of all undesignated receipts given to the Cooperative Program to the CP budget of the Southern Baptist Convention totaling $108,154,986 since 2016; therefore, be it

Resolved, that the State Board of Missions acting ad interim for the Florida Baptist State Convention:

3″urges the Abuse Reform Implementation Task Force and the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention to immediately cease further engagement and negotiations with Guidepost Solutions and its subsidiary Faith Based Solutions;

4″implores the Abuse Reform Implementation Task Force, prior to the 2023 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, to reevaluate its decision and thereafter engage only providers that share a solidly biblical worldview to develop and maintain the “Ministry Check” website database;

5 calls upon Florida Baptists to attend and make their voices heard at the 2023 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting in New Orleans;

6 directs that following the 2023 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting, June 13-14, 2023, if either Guidepost Solutions or its subsidiary Faith Based Solutions continues to be retained or is further retained by the Southern Baptist Convention in any capacity, then the State Board of Missions acting in its capacity to serve ad interim and on behalf of the Florida Baptist State Convention, directs the Florida Baptist Convention staff to immediately escrow a percentage of funds commensurate with the allocation percentage for the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention , as adopted in the Southern Baptist Convention Cooperative Program Budget at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Additionally, staff shall designate on all remittance reports that the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention shall not receive any financial distribution from funds forwarded by the Florida Baptist Convention on behalf of its church

HOW BRAZEN HAS GUIDEPOST SOLUTIONS BEEN WITH EXPRESSING ITS ANTI-BAPTIST VALUES?

Guidepost Solutions went “out and proud” just days before the SBC 2022 annual meetings .Were no Christians supposed to notice?

Where do they go from here now that the “launch case is dismissed and the anti- Christian /anti- Baptist culture of Guidepost /Faith Based Solutions is known?

A FURTHER DEVELOPMENT THE DAY AFTER THIS ARTICLE WAS PUBLISHED -BAPTISTPRESS ANNOUNCED

“ARITF pivots, moves away from Guidepost Solutions.”

“CHARLESTON, S.C. (BP) – Abuse Reform and Implementation Task Force chair Marshall Blalock announced Tuesday (April 4) the task force will no longer recommend Guidepost Solutions to establish and maintain a database for those credibly accused of sexual abuse. Messengers approved the creation of a “ministry check” website at the 2022 SBC Annual Meeting in Anaheim, Calif.”

“The move comes after continued concerns were expressed by Southern Baptists to the ARITF in connection to a Guidepost tweet last June during gay pride month in which the group stated it was “proud to be an ally” to the LGBTQ+ community.”

GUIDEPOST SOLUTIONS AND HALF A DOZEN PLUS LGBTQ AFFIMRING LAW FIRMS HOLD SBC FUTURE IN THEIR HANDS

CONCLUSION

Abuse- sex abuse and cover ups have no doubt taken place but those seeking to seize the opportunity to FURTHER their causes at the expense of the true church by committing even more broad and varied abuse are not serving God’s redemptive purposes.

God is no doubt cleaning house, He is likely judging the Southern Baptist Church- but some seem to have failed to remember that the church is HIS HOUSE. Moreover -the true church is the Bride of Christ and called to be dedicated as “holiness unto the Lord”- NOT a safe haven for activist promoting social change or progressives looking to make power grabs . Those institutions where these things FLOURISH are in fact not the church at all but empty shells having the name that they live but are DEAD. God is not interested in a rotting corpse that once bore His name and image. Baptist leaders must find their way to the cross and repent of playing political and social posturing with abuse and partnering with the ungodly to supposedly find a path to a biblically faithful future. We must never forget …

1 Peter 4:17

17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?

18 Now

“If the righteous one is scarcely saved,
Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear? “

JAMES 2

12 So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.”

1 PETER 4:

19 Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.”
