Original Hillsong Worship Leader Marty Sampson Announces He’s ‘Leaving Christianity’ Because The Bible Is ‘Full Of Contradictions’
Original Hillsong worship leader Marty Sampson announces he is leaving Christinity because there’s not enough miracles and the bible has contradictions.
Hillsong worship leader Marty Sampson announced on Instagram Friday that he’s “genuinely losing his faith”—and he’s not upset about it.
Over the past few years, there has been a tidal wave of contemporary Christian church leaders who have dramatically announced they are ‘leaving the faith’ because they no longer believe the Bible is true. Just two weeks ago, Joshua Harris, author of ‘I Kissed Dating Goodbye‘ decided he had had enough and walked away. Baptist pastors write editorials in USA Today telling Christians to ‘apologize to the LGBTQ+‘, and Jesse Duplantis still needs $54 million for that new jet. Now one of the original Hillsong worship leaders and writer of popular Christian music Marty Sampson says he doesn’t want to be a Christian anymore. Hmm. 🤔
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1,2 (KJV)
One of the great tragedies of the modern ‘seeker sensitive‘ church movement is that they created converts based on their feelings rather than on the word of God. Why are the modern megachurches filled to overflowing on a Sunday morning? Because they come for the music, and the fun, and the coffee shop in the lobby, and they love how good they feel when the service is over. And none of that is biblical, and none of that is the gospel of the grace of God.
“That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Ephesians 1:12-14 (KJV)
The Bible when preached in truth and power tells you exactly who and what you are, a lowly sinner who deserves Hell who God saved anyway because He loved you. That’s where the gospel starts, it starts with you headed for Hell until Jesus stepped in and paid your debt, and then you accepted that free gift. How does that make you feel? First it makes you feel terrible when you realize that He had to die because you are sinner. And then when you think on that awhile, it makes you feel glad beyond measure that He loved you so much to be willing to die in your place.
It’s a hard truth, but it’s a hard truth that heals you, saves you, redeems you and restores you. Any church that doesn’t preach on Hell is no church at all by Bible standards.
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:14-16 (KJV)
But when all you are fed is peppy, upbeat ‘worship songs’ with their endless and mind-deadening repetitive choruses, in ‘church services’ that make you applaud everything that is said and done, you are spiritually dead and empty inside, unable to weather the storms of life so you eventually quit like Marty did and all the others have done. Charles Spurgeon warned that the time would come when instead of pastors feeding the sheep, the church would be filled with clowns entertaining the goats. That day is here.
Hillsong Worship Leader Marty Sampson Announces He Wants No Part in Christianity Anymore
FROM CHARISMA MAGAZINE: Marty Sampson was one of Hillsong United’s original worship leaders and wrote and co-wrote hundreds of praise songs including hits like “Now that You’re Near,” “King of Majesty,” “O Praise the Name,” “For Who You Are” and “Open Heaven.”
In his post—which has since been deleted, along with the rest of the artist’s Instagram posts—he included a picture of what appears to be Samson bringing down the pillars of the Philistine temple in Judges 16. He writes that the more he thinks about it, the more Christianity seems just like every other religion, and he doesn’t want any part of it anymore:
“Christians can be some of the most judgmental people on the planet—they can also be some of the most beautiful and loving people … but it’s not for me. I am not in any more. I want genuine truth. Not the ‘I just believe it’ kind of truth. Science keeps piercing the truth of every religion. Lots of things help people change their lives, not just one version of God.”
Sampson also points to apparent contradictions in the Bible and the church as a reason he’s leaving the faith.
“How many preachers fall?” he asks. “Many. No one talks about it. How many miracles happen? Not many. No one talks about it. Why is the Bible full of contradictions? No one talks about it. How can God be love yet send 4 billion people to a place, all coz [sic] they don’t believe? No one talks about it.”

Cultural commentator Michael Brown challenges Sampson’s assertions that no one talks about these issues.
Brown points to the countless articles that were written in Christian and secular media when Joshua Harris announced his departure from the faith two weeks ago. For commentary on miracles and supposed contradictions in the Bible, Brown says there are plenty of books.
“Well, I’m thrilled to hear he wants ‘genuine truth’ as opposed to simply taking things by faith,” Brown says. “But I must ask once more, ‘What Christian world has he been living in?”
Despite leaving Christianity, Sampson says he still holds onto what he believes is good about spirituality: “Love and forgive absolutely. Be kind absolutely. Be generous and do good to others absolutely. Some things are good no matter what you believe. Let the rain fall, the sun will come up tomorrow.”
In the wake of Sampson’s announcement, Brown encourages Christians everywhere not to be afraid of asking the hard questions. And he prays Sampson’s heart would genuinely know the truth.
“My prayer is that Marty Sampson would have the integrity of heart to seek the truth earnestly, with humility and passion, and that all others with questions will put those questions on the table. … Let’s pray for Marty’s repentance, restoration and more.” READ MORE

Las Vegas Police Capture Live UFO Sighting On Bodycam With Locals Claiming They Saw ‘8ft-High Aliens’ Walking About Freely Through Backyards
Body-cam footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department captured a suspected UFO soaring across the night sky before a nearby resident called in a report of something “100% not human” on their property, local TV channel 8 News Now reported.
Fascinating story coming out of Las Vegas today, police on bodycams recorded UFOs soaring across the skies, and according to the audio they were quite shaken by what they saw. Not only that, local Las Vegas residents said they saw men, a minimum of 8ft high, walking through backyards. Do I believe all that? You bet I do. For over 2 years on our Podcasts, we’ve been warning you will soon see UFOs and aliens on the nightly news, and we are a kitten’s whisker away from that reality.
“Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll. And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.” Zechariah 5:1,2 (KJB)
As a Bible believer, I know there’s no such thing as space aliens but there absolutely are fallen angels and giants lurking around the deeps. Jesus promises in places like Luke 17:26-37 (KJB) that they’ll be putting in a ‘command performance’ during the time of Jacob’s trouble. Since all dispensations overlap each other, you can well expect a little ‘alien appetizer’ before the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church kicks off. Guaranteed.
Las Vegas police spot suspected UFOs — and residents claim to see aliens
FROM NY POST: A Vegas officer’s camera picked up the object at about 11:50 p.m. on April 30, and, according to the American Meteor Society, its flash was seen as far as Utah and California. Approximately 39 minutes after, another man — who lives about 80 miles from Area 51 — made a chilling call to 911, saying that there were two unknown entities in his backyard after he and his family saw a similar object fall from of the sky.
“There’s like an 8-foot person beside it and another one is inside us and it has big eyes and it’s looking at us — and it’s still there,” the homeowner told police dispatch, according to audio obtained by the TV channel.
“In my backyard. I swear to God this is not a joke, this is actually — we’re terrified,” he added.
“They’re very large. They’re like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. Like, I can’t explain it. And big mouth. They’re shiny eyes and they’re not human. They’re 100% not human,” he claimed.
Responding units were terrified of the circumstances, audio from their body cameras revealed.
“I’m so nervous right now,” said one officer. “I have butterflies, bro — saw a shooting star and now these people say there’s aliens in their backyard.”
After police spoke with the man, one officer even corroborated some of the witness’ story.
“I’m not going to BS, you guys. One of my partners said they saw something fall out of the sky, too,” the officer said. READ MORE

End Times
New York City Skyline Turned In Apocalyptic End Times Nightmare As Smoke From Wildfires In Canada Render It Nearly Uninhabitable
Smoke from hundreds of wildfires raging across Canada engulfed New York City and the eastern United States on Wednesday, upending the rhythms of daily life for tens of millions of Americans, creating a sea of ‘Code Red’ air quality alerts as far south as the Carolinas and prompting widespread health worries.
In a scene straight out of the book of Joel, or even Revelation, the ‘city that never sleeps’ has been engulfed with apocalyptic smoke, infused with an orange-red glow, that has drifted down from wildfires raging out of control in Canada. This is resulting in the worst air quality ever recorded in New York City, and at the moment, just may be the worst anywhere in the world. To you, this may look like an environmental disaster. To me it looks like a harbinger of more to come.
“And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.” Joel 2:30,31 (KJB)
Today is Day 1,179 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and what’s happening in New York City right now is right on track with Phase 2 of the Great Reset. This reminds me of the decree signed by the Mayor of New York City about rolling out that ‘carbon footprint tracker’. Hmm, there’s an amazing ‘coincidence’ with the timing of this plague of smoke and smog. So, you need to ask yourself are these fires accidental, are they coincidental, or are they intentional? (my money’s on the last one). Whatever the actual answer is, one thing’s for sure, things are absolutely not ‘back to normal’ or anything remotely close to that.
Apocalyptic smoke from wildfires in Canada engulfs New York City and East Coast, upending daily life
FROM MSN: Nowhere was the scene more haunting than in New York City, where a thick haze blanketed the Statue of Liberty, shrouded the skyscrapers of Manhattan, delayed a baseball game at Yankee Stadium and forced a temporary halt of flights into LaGuardia Airport due to low visibility. Mayor Eric Adams recommended people wear masks outdoors and canceled outdoor city events.
For the second day in a row, New York City logged some of the worst air quality of any major city on the planet. But that was hardly the only place to experience the eerie, unsettling and throat-burning smoke that scientists say could become a more common occurrence in a warming world.
OK people, write this down… ‘carbon footprint tracker’, you’re going to hear a lot about this in the coming months. This is Phase 2 of the Great Reset. #CarbonFootprintTracker @wef pic.twitter.com/Nm3NErceIT

In Philadelphia, as elsewhere, schools canceled field trips, moved recess indoors and postponed athletic matches. In Washington, where monuments along the National Mall sat shrouded in the afternoon gloom, commuters donned masks that for the first time in years had nothing to do with a pandemic.
“It looks like Mars outside,” said Dennis Scannell, the co-owner of a typically bustling but now silent baseball and softball training facility in Syracuse. The city’s Air Quality Index — a measure of outdoor pollution — registered 402 late Wednesday morning. Healthy is considered below 50.
In Binghamton, N.Y., the National Weather Service office tweeted about the dimming sky just before 10 a.m. “Sun is no longer visible, everything’s orange, the parking lot lights have come on,” it read, alongside a photo of the otherworldly scene. READ MORE

Due to the wildfire smoke from Canada, New York City had the worst air pollution of any major city in the world at one point Tuesday night, before dropping to second-worst behind New Delhi, India, according to air quality tracker IQair.

Free Bible Program
The Santa Rosa Correctional Main Unit and Annex In Milton Florida Holds 2,500 Inmates And Their Chaplain Just Contacted Us Looking For Bibles
The Santa Rosa Correctional Institution and Annex houses 2,500 inmates and I would love for us to give every single one of them a King James Bible.
The Santa Rosa Correctional Institution and Annex is located in Milton, Florida, and houses up to 2,500 inmates at any given time. Senior Chaplain Gary Wieborg wrote to us recently wondering if we could give them some Bibles. I would dearly love to give them enough King James Bibles for every inmate they have, wouldn’t you?
“O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.” Jeremiah 22:29 (KJB)
Sending out that many Bibles would be our largest single effort to date, and would cost around $12,000 to pull it off, but it is consistent with other large orders the Lord has allowed us to fill with our Bibles Behind Bars program. This type of revival we are experiencing is real revival, where born again believers get on fire for the Lord and things get done in spectacular fashion. I love sending in ‘the light’ of the King James Bible to subdue the darkness of the prison cell. Just picture you or a loved one sitting in that place, and what an incredible gift a Bible would be. That’s what we’re doing, giving a lifeline of hope in a hopeless place.

I’d like to ask you to pray for our efforts in getting King James Bibles to the Santa Rosa facilities, the work of the Lord is always bathed in much prayer. And if the Lord has prospered you, I’d like to ask you to consider donating so we can send these 2,500 Bibles. Be as generous as you can, because after we send this order out, there are multiple other requests waiting in the queue. Thank you so very much for your ongoing support, that’s the only way this gets done…TO THE FIGHT!!!
