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

Stunning News Out Of The Middle East As Lebanon And Syria Will Likely Join The Abraham Accords With Israel Around The Same Time As Saudi Arabia

Israeli ambassador to the United States Yechiel Leiter said that he believes that Syria and Lebanon could join the Abraham Accords and normalize relations with Israel before Saudi Arabia
Wow, OK, this thing is unfolding almost exactly the way we’ve been telling you it would, with all this Middle East intrigue really being about moving the chains on the Abraham Accords on the end times timeline. Regular listeners of our Bible Studies and Podcasts know that we believe the Abraham Accords is the covenant that Antichrist confirms in the book of Daniel.
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Daniel 9:27 (KJB)
Revelation 13 shows you that the Mark of the Beast is, at its simplest level, a human-implantable device that allows the user to buy and selling via financial transactions. Well, what are the Abraham Accords but a contract, or covenant, allowing the signatories to conduct economic and financial transactions? Naturally, because this is the end times, the Abraham Accords center around Israel and Jerusalem with their arch-enemies the Muslims who, for the time being, are playing nice. But you go read Psalm 83, and see the Muslim confederacy against the Jews in the time of Jacob’s trouble, and when it happens, the Abraham Accords will be front and center in the middle of the action.
Syria, Lebanon could join Abraham Accords before Saudi Arabia, Israeli ambassador to US says
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: “There’s no reason now why we wouldn’t be moving into accommodation with Syria and Lebanon,” he said. “We have dramatically changed the paradigm there. I’m very upbeat about the potential for an Abraham Accord with Syria and Lebanon, and that may actually precede Saudi Arabia.”
Speaking to the platform’s CEO, Marissa Streit, Leiter added that Saudi Arabia was considering joining the accords “because, in 2019, they weren’t very far away. If President Trump had remained in office in 2020, we probably would’ve reached that point – a complete normalization with Saudi Arabia.”
Leiter added that now, Israel and Saudi Arabia are still on the path to normalization, although there are still complications to normalization due to the Israel-Hamas War.
Regarding Lebanon’s possibility of normalizing relations, the ambassador said, “Lebanon has the opportunity to ‘emerge from its failed state status and reassert itself as a civil society.” Regarding Syria, Leiter said that the US should have been more hesitant in removing sanctions from the country, stating that the US should wait to see what actions Syria takes, mentioning the importance of protecting minorities such as the Druze and Alawites in the country.
“There’s not a long history of jihadis becoming Jeffersonians,” he said. “We also can’t allow jihadis to be on our border; we learned that from October 7. We’d like to see [the new leader of Syria Ahmed] al-Sharaa move in a direction where he’s disbanding the jihadi groups, outlawing terrorist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, and protecting minorities, adding that the removal of sanctions must be “performance-based.”
Leiter also describes Israel’s ceasefire with Lebanon as “performance-based.”
“To the degree that Lebanon disarms Hezbollah, to that degree, we’re moving towards accommodation and peace,” he added. “We removed our troops. We have five installations on the border; we’ll remove them too.” READ MORE

Donald Trump Explodes And Loses Control As Ceasefire Falters After Iran Fires Rocket That Kill Four Jews In Beersheba And Israel Vows To Repay

President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Israel on Tuesday to “not bomb Iran” as he departed for the NATO summit in The Hague, taking a critical position just 24 hours after brokering a fragile ceasefire already threatened after a missile strike from Iran.
President Donald Trump went full-tilt explosive after hearing that Iran had broken the ceasefire with an attack on Israel that wound up killing 4 in Beersheba, ordering Israel not to respond. He dropped an expletive deleted as he exclaimed that both sides, Israel and Iran, had no idea what they were doing. Those are words spoken by a man who has very little understanding of why Israel and Iran are at war with each other, and have been since 1979. That’s the memo.
“And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.” Zechariah 14:16 (KJB)
Donald Trump is not so much about peace in the Middle East as he is about scoring notches on the legacy belt of his presidency. But making peace is a tricky thing if you don’t understand the nature of the conflict. “Israel has to calm down, I have to get Israel to calm down,” he said. “I’m gonna see if I can stop it.” Why didn’t he say that about Iran, why is it always Israel that has to ‘calm down’? As we have long told you, Iran will break any and every treaty or deal they make, that’s who they are. Israel needs to fight this war until the regime in place in Tehran falls to the ground. Anything less is a pathetic waste of time, treasure and human lives. The prophet Daniel says “and unto the end of the war desolations are determined”, I agree with that.
Trump Goes Absolutely Berserk on Iran and Israel as Ceasefire Deal Crumbles
FROM MEDIAITE: Speaking to reporters before takeoff, the president said that both Israel and Iran had breached the terms of the truce and made clear he was “not pleased” with Israel’s promise to launch retaliatory airstrikes after agreeing to the deal.
Asked by a reporter about whether Iran had violated the ceasefire Trump replied: “They violated but Israel violated it, too.”
The president continued: “Israel as soon as we made the deal they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I had never seen before. The biggest load that we have seen. I’m not happy with Israel.”

He added: “You know, when I say ‘okay, now you have 12 hours’ – you don’t go out in the first hour just drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran either. But I’m really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because the one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn’t land, I’m not happy about that.”
Before departing, he said: “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don’t know what the f*** they are doing.”
In a further post on Truth Social just moments later he wrote:
ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
The comments come as the Israeli military vowed to carry out “intense” retaliatory strikes on Tehran following ballistic missile attacks from Iran that struck Beersheba on Tuesday morning, killing at least four civilians. In response, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered a “forceful” counteroffensive, targeting what he described as “the heart of Tehran.”

Israel’s top military officials framed the action as a response to a “grave violation” of the US-brokered ceasefire and vowed Iran would “pay.”
Tehran denied any role in the attacks. Iranian state media claimed that “reports published about missile launches from Iran toward the occupied territories after imposing a ceasefire on the Zionist regime are denied,” accusing Israel of fabricating the provocation. The ceasefire agreement – announced late Monday by Trump from Palm Beach – was meant to phase out hostilities within 24 hours. READ MORE

As Iran Fires Missiles On US Airbases In Qatar And Iraq, Russia Warns That ‘World War 3 Could Be Very Close’ After Threat From Trump On Truth Social

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that ‘World War III could be very close’ following the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, missiles fall on US bases in Qatar and Iraq
Trump two days after the US carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites aired a statement from Russia, and a warning to the country. ‘Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the “N word” (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?’ wrote Trump on his Truth Social platform on Monday morning. ‘Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY.’ That’s the memo.
“Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.” Ecclesiastes 10:20 (KJB)
Iran on Monday night fired 10 ballistic missiles at the US Central Command (CENTCOM)’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar and one ballistic missile at an American base in Iraq in retaliation for Washington’s attack on three Iranian nuclear sites on Sunday morning, multiple sources told The Jerusalem Post. Donald Trump in his address on Saturday said that the US strike on Iranian bases was meant to end a war, not start one. He may just have started one anyway. Donald Trump confidentially campaigned for president on his ability to end the war in Ukraine from Day 1, end the war in Gaza, and prevent a war in the Middle East. But as his presidency unfolds, he is doing just the opposite of what he promised.
Lavrov warns of possible World War III after US attack on Iran
FROM AURORA NEWS: “There is a huge potential for conflict right under our noses, in Ukraine and the Middle East,” Putin had stated days earlier during the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. Lavrov echoed that warning by questioning the legitimacy of certain countries exercising their right to self-defense, disregarding the UN Charter. According to the diplomat, this attitude is pushing the world toward “total chaos.”
Tensions rose sharply following the precision strikes launched by the United States last Saturday, which hit the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities. Washington confirmed that the operation was ordered by President Donald Trump and that its objective was to neutralize the Iranian regime’s strategic capabilities.
Reactions from Moscow were immediate. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the attacks “irresponsible” and in violation of international law, emphasizing that they were carried out by a permanent member of the UN Security Council.
In line with Lavrov, former Russian president and current Vice President of the Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, stated that most countries around the world reject this military action. According to him, the damage to Iranian infrastructure was minimal, and the offensive could have accelerated a more favorable international response to Tehran, including the possible transfer of nuclear weapons.

The crisis erupted on June 13, when Israel bombed targets in Iran and declared a state of emergency. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained that the operation sought to dismantle the Iranian regime’s nuclear capabilities. The Islamic Republic responded with missile strikes, triggering a rapid regional escalation.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is now heading to Moscow for talks with President Putin. His Russian counterpart, Lavrov, stated that Israel and the United States “crossed a very big red line” with the attack on nuclear facilities. For its part, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that no increases in radiation levels were detected following the attacks, and ruled out any impacts on health or the environment.
“Europe is paying a heavy price,” Lavrov concluded. “The West has already shown its true colors, and now we are experiencing another chapter in that story.”
In the same interview, Lavrov also harshly criticized the Western stance on the Ukrainian conflict and the demonization of Russia. “They are cynically using Ukraine against us,” the foreign minister said. He also noted an “almost animal-like aggressiveness” in European discourse, especially from figures like Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas, whom he dismissed with contempt. Lavrov also denounced the economic impact of the sanctions and energy policies imposed on Moscow. He said, “They have almost completely abandoned Russian fuels and swallowed the terrorist act in the northern flows,” referring to the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. READ MORE
