Prosperity Gospel Deceiver Paula White Tells Followers To Send Her One Month Of Their Salary To ‘Honor God’

Paula White, who heads up the president’s evangelical advisory committee, suggested making a donation to her ministries to honor the religious principle of “first fruit,” which she said is the idea that all firsts belong to God, including the first harvest and, apparently, the first month of your salary.

Paula White, who heads up the president’s evangelical advisory committee, suggested making a donation to her ministries to honor the religious principle of “first fruit,” which she said is the idea that all firsts belong to God, including the first harvest and, apparently, the first month of your salary.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The Prosperity Gospel is based on half-truths, lots of lies, and appeals to the innate sense of greed found even in those of us who have been born again. One of the most shameless hucksters of this non-biblical and false system is Paula White. Watch as she looks into the camera, and tells you that the ‘Bible says’ you need to send her ‘one month’s salary’ as a way to ‘honor God’. If not, she warns, you will face non-specific consequences for not complying. Tithing is not for Christians, and no set amount was ever given to any believer in the Church Age by the apostle Paul. Paula White is a fraud, a con artist, and the ease with which she preaches these bold faced lies casts serious doubt on her even having been saved. 

“The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?” Jeremiah 5:21 (KJV)

“Right now I want you to click on that button, and I want you to honor God with his first fruits offering,” she said in a video shared to her website, in which she encourages her followers to donate to her ministries to get blessings from God.

Pay Paula one month’s salary or face the consequences!

“If God doesn’t divinely step in and intervene, I don’t know what you’re going to face—he does,” she said.

Explaining the principle of the donations, the Pentecostal televangelist, who has recently spoken out in defense of Trump’s mental health following claims in a tell-all book that the president is unwell, suggested that people would reap rewards after donating to her.

“January is the beginning of a new year for us in the Western world. Let us give to God what belongs to him: the first hours of our day, the first month of the year, the first of our increase, the first in every area of our life. It’s devoted…. The principle of first fruits is that when you give God the first, he governs the rest and redeems in,” she said.

“When you honor this principle, it provides the foundation and structure for God’s blessings and promises in your life. It unlocks deep dimensions of spiritual truths that literally transform your life. When you apply this, everything comes in divine alignment for his plan and promises for you. When you don’t honor it, whether through ignorance or direct disobedience, there are consequences.”

White was among a number of televangelists who were examined after Republican Senator Charles Grassley launched a 2007 investigation into the finances of ministries that solicit millions of dollars in donations. However, the report, published in 2011, did not draw any firm conclusions of wrongdoing.

THE CHARISMATIC PROSPERITY MOVEMENT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A ‘CHRISTIAN’ CULT

In her newest video, Paula White encourages people to send her money, stating, “Each January, I put God first and honor him with the first of our substance by sowing a first fruits offering of one month’s pay. That is a big sacrifice, but it is a seed for the harvest I am believing for in the coming year. And God always provides!”

Those who send White money, which she suggests belongs to God, will see positive consequences, she claims.

“When you sow a First Fruits Offering of $75 or more, I will rush to you the book, the devotional and also a Paula White 2018 wall calendar! Track throughout the entire year prioritizing God with me!” her website says. source

THE BIBLE SHOWS THREE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO TITHED

The teaching of tithing for Christians is not limited to only the heretical Prosperity Movement, I have been in many hardcore, fundamental, King James Only Baptist churches that are constantly telling their congregants to “give their tithe”. So what does the Bible have to say about tithing for Christians living in the age of grace?

In the Bible, we see three groups of people who tithed, and they are as follows:

  1. Abraham
  2. Israelites living under the Old Testament Law of Moses
  3. The Pharisees as mentioned in Matthew and Luke

#1). Abraham’s tithe was a one time only event with a deeper meaning. The Bible records that Abraham, after the battle to return his capture nephew Lot, met in the way both Melchizedek and the King of Sodom. Abraham gave a tenth of Lot’s returned goods to Melchizedek while at the same time refusing to receive anything from the King of Sodom. The message here about Abraham’s loyalties are crystal-clear.

“And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.”Genesis 14:18-24 (KJV)

When Abraham chose to give a tithe to the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ in the form of Melchizedek, and refused to accept anything from the king of wicked and soon to be destroyed Sodom, we see why he was called “the friend of God”. In the very next chapter, we see God rewarding Abraham for making the right choice:

“After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.” Genesis 15:1 (KJV)

No where in any of this account is a command given, and you will note that Abraham was not commanded to tithe. He did it as a free will offering. Hmm….just like a Christian in the New Testament.

#2). Jews under the Old Testament Law were commanded to tithe. The second time we see tithing is in Leviticus, and it is a command to tithe of the land and of the cattle.

“And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land,or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD’S: it is holy unto the LORD. And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD. He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed. These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.” Leviticus 27:30-34 (KJV)

You will note that the context of the passage shows us that tithing as a command was given by Moses to the children of Israel, the Jews. Christians in the Age of Grace are not the “children of Israel”. Born again Christians are the children of God, not of Israel.

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Galatians 3:26-29 (KJV)

Interestingly, this verse shows up in the same context of Christians being called the “seed of Abraham” in verse 29. Abraham who gave a free will offering, and not figured as from Moses who commanded tithing.

#3). The Pharisees in the New Testament were tithers. When we read about people who tithes in the New Testament, it is of note to observe that they were being rebuked by Jesus Christ for their hypocritical following of the Law of Moses. Tithing here is mentioned in a very negative context.

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.”Matthew 23:23 (KJV)

Need we say more? Let’s move on.

THERE IS NO NEW TESTAMENT COMMAND FOR ANY CHRISTIAN TO GIVE A TITHE TO THEIR CHURCH

Search the New Testament from Matthew 1 to Revelation 22 and you will find no commands for a Christian to tithe their money to their church. It does not exist. Paul, the apostle for the Church Age whose writings are our doctrine, only mentions giving a few times. Here is the main verse he wrote for us:

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 (KJV)

And there you have the New Testament, rightly divided doctrine of Biblical giving for Christians in the Church Age.God leaves it up to the Christian themselves to determine how much and how often they want to give to the church. God wants you to do it because you have a sincere and honest desire to see the work of the Church continue. Not because you expect a blessing from it, not because some greedy pastor shamed you into it, but because you in your heart want to do it.

But the notion that Christians are to, every Sunday, sit down and write a 10% check of their weekly income and give it to their pastor is not only unbiblical but I believe demonic. There are millions of poor Christians who, because of false teaching on tithing, take the money that should be used to put food on the table and power the light bill and give it to a millionaire pastor living in a mansion. Churches need money to operate on, yes that’s true. But so much of today’s building programs and fund raising only serve to increase the personal wealth of the pastor and those at the  top.

If your church preaches on tithing more than once a year, find a new church and save your offering for people actually trying to get the gospel out. Take a moment and read some of the Bible verses never preached by the Prosperity Gospel crowd:

“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”1 Timothy 6:6-10 (KJV)

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Heresy of Dispensationalism

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The So-Called ‘Heresy Of Dispensationalism’ Is Believing That God Meant What He Said When He Made Promises To Israel And Gave Instructions To The Church

We live in a day and age where since Bible doctrine is no longer being taught, that passionate discussions and arguments arise concerning what does and does not constitute doctrine. One of these areas is dispensationalism, often called heresy by those who disallow it. They accused Paul also of teaching heresy because he brought them something new that changed the spiritual trajectory. To say it simply and plainly, a dispensation is defined as an “administration or stewardship” of revelation from God given to an assigned person to reveal it. People like Moses, Noah, Abraham, David, the prophets, the apostles specifically Paul. Nothing too hard to handle so far, right?

“But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:” Acts 24:14 (KJB)

A dispensational reading of the Bible is what removes the apparent confusion and seeming contradictions. Jesus shows us people in the New Testament who lose their salvation after receiving it, while Paul says not only that we can never lose our salvation, but when we get saved, God seals us in unto the day of redemption. How do you reconcile that? Obviously Jesus and Paul are talking to two different groups of people. Jesus says that only those believe who endure to the end will be saved, Paul says our salvation is complete and finished, with no works required on our part. In the book of Acts, we see believers performing miracles at the beginning of the Church Age, the age of grace, yet no one living today is able to perform any of them. What happened? Why did it stop? Dispensationalism is the only application of scripture that removes 100% of any apparent contradiction because it puts everything in its proper place by putting everything in its proper order. On this Sunday Service, we tackle the heresy of Dispensationalism. TO THE FIGHT!!!

THE BIBLE BELIEVERS SUNDAY SERVICE: The Heresy of Dispensationalism

The Heresy of Dispensationalism

We have a command from our apostle Paul that appears in its entirety in none other version of the Bible than the King James. The command to study the word of God, and to rightly divide what you read. Right division is the beating heart of dispensationalism.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 (KJB)

Overview: We live in a day and age where since Bible doctrine is no longer being taught, that passionate discussions and arguments arise concerning what does and does not constitute doctrine. One of these areas is dispensationalism, often called heresy by those who disallow it. They accused Paul also of teaching heresy because he brought them something new that change the spiritual trajectory.

“But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:” Acts 24:14 (KJB)

There is no doubt that God has revealed His purpose progressively and has given different responsibilities to different people at different times. The Bible was not written by a single person at one time, but rather by 40 very diverse and different people, from paupers to kings, who wrote as the Holy Spirit led them over a 1,500 year period. Rightly dividing means understanding those distinctions so that we interpret His words faithfully and obey His instructions correctly.

Here is another key nugget for understanding dispensationalism:

The whole Bible is written for you, but the whole Bible is not written to you.

“For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” 1 Corinthians 9:17 (KJB)

“That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:” Ephesians 1:10 (KJB)

“If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:” Ephesians 3:2 (KJB)

“Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;” Colossians 1:25 (KJB)

To say it simply and plainly, a dispensation is defined as an “administration or stewardship” of revelation from God given to an assigned person to reveal it. People like Moses, Noah, Abraham, David, the prophets, the apostles specifically Paul.

God commissions Paul:

“Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;” Titus 1:1-3 (KJB)

God commissions Moses:

“And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” Exodus 3:2-5 (KJB)

God commissions Noah:

“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.” Genesis 6:8-14 (KJB)

Jesus came to bring both the kingdom of Heaven and the kingdom of God to the Jews, but the Jews didn’t want it. So He prophesied about the day when the kingdom of God, a spiritual kingdom for born again believers, would be taken from the Jews and given to the Gentiles. We call this event the start of the Church Age, an excellent illustration of what a dispensation is.

“Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.” Matthew 21:42-45 (KJB)

This prophecy of Jesus was fulfilled at the end of Acts 7 with the stoning of Stephen as the Holy Ghost spoke to Israel through him. It is here that the Church Age – Jews and Gentiles in one Body – begins. But Paul says that when this “pause” or “parenthesis” is complete, then God returns to deal with national Israel.

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” Romans 11:25-29 (KJB)

Lastly, all scripture is written to one of the following 3 groups. It is up to you, the reader, to rightly divide what you read, in the context you read it in, and apply it where it needs to go. Promises made to Israel are not transferred to the Church just because Israel is in apostasy. Paul places the responsibility of understanding the Bible on the reader, not on some all-knowing High Priest or magisterium like the Roman Catholic Church to tell you what it says.

“Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:” 1 Corinthians 10:32 (KJB)

I. Dispensations and Dispensationalism Are Bible Doctrines

Main Text

“If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:” Ephesians 3:2 (KJB)

“Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:” Ephesians 3:5,6 (KJB)

Truth

The word “dispensation” comes from Scripture itself. Paul identifies an administration of grace entrusted to him, then distinguishes revelation in other ages from revelation now made known.

Notice the progression:

  • Other ages: The mystery was not made known as it now is.
  • Present revelation: God has revealed it through the Spirit.
  • Its content: Believing Gentiles are fellowheirs and members of the same body.

The revelation concerns more than God blessing Gentiles. It explains their shared position in Christ’s body.

Application

Study Paul’s epistles to understand the Church’s position, calling, and responsibilities. We cannot assume that every earlier audience possessed the revelation God later supplied.

Teaching question: If everything was revealed equally in every age, what distinction is Paul making here?

II. God Gives Different Instructions At Different Times

Main Text

“These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 10:6 (KJB)

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” Matthew 28:19 (KJB)

Truth

In Matthew 10, Jesus restricted that mission of the twelve to Israel. After His resurrection, He commissioned His disciples to teach all nations. Both instructions came from Jesus Christ. Both were correct in their setting. But the scope of the mission changed. Understanding when the instructions were given explains the difference. This demonstrates why identifying the audience and circumstances is necessary for obedience.

Application

Before applying a command, ask:

  1. Who gave it?
  2. To whom was it given?
  3. Under what circumstances?
  4. Does later revelation change its application?

Teaching question: Could we use Matthew 10:5 as our mission policy today and refuse to evangelize Gentiles?

III. Law and Grace Are Different Dispensations

Main Text

“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” Romans 6:14 (KJB)

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10 (KJB)

Truth

Paul explicitly distinguishes being under law from being under grace. He also establishes the relationship between salvation and works:

  • Salvation is God’s gift through faith.
  • Works cannot purchase that gift.
  • Saved people are created in Christ Jesus unto good works.

We serve because we have been saved; our service does not purchase salvation.

Different administrations also do not mean that animal sacrifices could accomplish redemption:

“For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.” Hebrews 10:4 (KJB)

The saving work belongs to Jesus Christ. The sacrifices could never accomplish what His offering accomplished.

“Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:20-26 (KJB)

Application

Preach salvation through Christ without adding law keeping as its price. Then teach believers to live obediently under grace.

“What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.” Romans 6:15 (KJB)

Grace establishes our freedom from sin’s dominion and our responsibility to serve God.

IV. The Church Does Not Cancel God’s Promises To Israel

Main Text

“Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:” 1 Corinthians 10:32 (KJB)

“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:” Romans 11:25,26 (KJB)

“For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” Romans 11:29 (KJB)

Truth

Paul distinguishes Jews, Gentiles, and the Church. In Romans 11, he then explains Israel’s blindness and promised salvation.

Three expressions deserve particular attention:

  • “In part” identifies the character of Israel’s blindness.
  • “Until” identifies a limit to its duration.
  • “Jacob” identifies the people whose ungodliness the Deliverer removes.

The dispensational conclusion is that God has preserved a future for national Israel. (dispensationalism is often referred to a ‘futurism’, and I’m fine with that. There are many Old Testament prophecies that remain to be fulfilled.) Dispensationalism teaches that the secular state of Israel that exists today in 2026, is going to be replaced by the Messiah when He returns at the Second Advent. And it will! The Church’s present blessings do not require the cancellation of Israel’s promises. Believing Jews and Gentiles presently belong to the same body in Christ. Israel’s future salvation likewise comes through the Deliverer. The Church Age is God’s plan for this present age, but when it is complete, He will once again turn His attention back to the Jews and Israel to finish what He started.

V. The Coming King and the Coming Kingdom

Main Text

“He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.” Luke 1:32,33 (KJB)

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6,7 (KJB)

Truth

Gabriel identifies a particular throne and a particular people:

  • The throne belongs to David.
  • The people are the house of Jacob.
  • The promised King is Jesus Christ.
  • His kingdom will have no end.

A dispensational reading expects those promises to be fulfilled with their stated meaning intact. Christ’s present heavenly authority does not exhaust the promise of His Davidic reign.

Application

Read prophecy with attention to its people, places, promises, and literary setting. Recognize symbols where Scripture supplies them, while retaining the realities those symbols describe.

Teaching emphasis: Our responsibility is to preach the gospel and serve faithfully while awaiting the King.

VI. There Are 7 Raptures In The Bible

Main Text

There are 7 separate occasions in scripture where we see a rapture take place. Enoch, Elijah, Jesus, The Church, the 144,000, the Two Witnesses and the Tribulation saints. The Pretribulation Rapture of the Church is just one of them, yet another proof of dispensations and the urgent need for rightly dividing.

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJB)

“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,” 1 Thessalonians 5:9 (KJB)

Paul describes an actual event:

  1. The Lord descends.
  2. The dead in Christ rise.
  3. Living believers are caught up together with them.
  4. They meet the Lord in the air.
  5. They remain with Him forever.

This is bodily resurrection and gathering, and Paul commands believers to draw comfort from it. The distinction between the Church’s appointed salvation and divine wrath is central to the dispensational case for the pretribulation Rapture. Its timing is established by comparing these promises with the other prophetic passages.

Application

Teach believers to anticipate Christ’s coming with confidence and faithful service. Distinguish divine wrath from the persecution Christians experience.

Prophecy should strengthen our service today because our future with Christ is secure.

VII. Rightly Dividing Helps Us Use The Whole Bible Correctly

Main Text

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16,17 (KJB)

“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” Romans 15:4 (KJB)

Truth

All Scripture is inspired. All Scripture is profitable. Identifying a passage’s original audience preserves its meaning and helps us apply it correctly. Paul expressly teaches the value of earlier Scripture for our learning. Bible study in the book of Acts was Old Testament.

“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.” Acts 11:25,26 (KJB)

 For example, the Sermon on the Mount provides some beautiful spiritual comfort for the Christian in our age, but it is written as doctrine for people living in the Millennium when all those “beatitudes” will literally come to pass. The “meek” literally inherit the Earth when King Jesus is on the throne, the “poor in spirit” at that time will live in the Kingdom of Heaven, the “pure in heart” will see God because, He’ll be there in the flesh. We can learn faith from Abraham, courage from Joshua, repentance from David, and God’s faithfulness throughout Israel’s history without assuming every command given to those people is our direct instruction.

Finally, a dispensational reading of the Bible is what removes the apparent confusion and seeming contradictions. Jesus shows us people in the New Testament who lose their salvation after receiving it, while Paul says not only that we can never lose our salvation, but when we get saved, God seals us in unto the day of redemption. How do you reconcile that? Jesus says that only those believe who endure to the end will be saved, Paul says our salvation is complete and finished, with no works required on our part. In the book of Acts, we see believers performing miracles at the beginning of the Church Age, the age of grace, yet no one living today is able to perform any of them. What happened? Why did it stop? Dispensationalism is the only application of scripture that removes 100% of any apparent contradiction because it puts everything in its proper place by putting everything it proper order.

“Let all things be done decently and in order.” 1 Corinthians 14:40 (KJB)

Trump Answers GOP Midterm Disaster By Promoting His ‘Wartime Consigliere’ Stephen Miller To Chief Of Staff In Ominous Harbinger Of Impending Unrest

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump doubles down by promoting ‘Wartime Consigliere’ Stephen Miller to Chief of Staff putting America on a wartime footing to at least 2028

At the end of WWII, Hitler’s answer to Germany’s impending defeat was to issue the ‘Nero Decree’ to burn Berlin down to the ground. Donald Trump’s answer to a Republican election disaster is to hand more power to Stephen Miller as his new Chief of Staff, that’s doubling down with a vengeance. After Americans elected a Democratic Congress, Trump elevated one of the principal architects of the aggressive immigration policies that helped drive the backlash. Roughly six in ten midterm voters said the administration’s immigration enforcement had gone too far. Trump’s response was to promote the man who helped take it there. Roger Stone calls Miller his “wartime consigliere,” and that description ought to make Americans pay very close attention to whom this White House actually intends to fight. Civil war, anyone?

“Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;” Isaiah 10:1 (KJB)

Miller publicly pushed a minimum of 3,000 ICE arrests every single day, with the number supposed to keep climbing. Reuters reported that he urged officials to pursue immigration offenders broadly and suggested Home Depot and 7-Eleven locations where workers gather. Think about the machinery that creates. Washington demands numbers, officials feel pressure to deliver, and the people easiest to grab become the easiest way to satisfy the demand. Every person swept into that machinery has a name, a family and circumstances that deserve examination. An arrest tally tells Americans nothing about whether justice was served. A government can fill detention facilities while at the same time still fail the very people it claims to protect.

ProPublica documented immigration agents smashing vehicle windows with children or pregnant women inside, injuries during arrests, and force used against people without known criminal records. Miller then publicly assured ICE officers that they had federal immunity in conducting their duties—an assurance that overstated their protection against prosecution for unlawful conduct. Demand more arrests, push enforcement into everyday life, and tell the officers they are protected: that combination should alarm anyone who believes government power requires restraint. Stephen Miller’s promotion rewards the direction he helped establish, and that’s not good at all.

Now his ‘wartime consigliere’ as Chief of Staff will help run the White House as an opposition Congress prepares to investigate Trump’s misdeeds. Congress has every right to demand records, question officials and expose misconduct. An election does not become illegitimate simply because the president dislikes the consequences. Oversight does not become persecution because it reaches his friends. The American government belongs to the American people, and Donald Trump’s personal grievances carry no authority to override that ownership. Christians who voted for him owe him the truth, including the truth about failure, broken promises and abuses committed under his administration. We can demand secure borders and demand humane treatment. We can insist on enforcing the law and insist that the people enforcing it obey it. Trump has chosen escalation after defeat. He owns that choice—and every American has the right to hold him accountable for what follows. One thing’s for sure. From now to at least 2028, you can expect America to be on a wartime footing.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: How God Used Donald Trump And The MAGA Movement As Judgment To Usher In The Most Idolatrous Government America’s Ever Had

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

THE DESTROYER: Trump Promised Peace And Prosperity, Delivered War And Division, And Opened The Door To The Very Political Forces We Elected Him To Stop, Now The Reckoning

The Bible is crystal-clear about how God views nations that fall into idolatry, whether it be His chosen people of Israel, or the Gentile nations round about them. Back in 2009, on the very day that NTEB was first launched, we warned you about the coming betrayal of America at the hands of our leaders. That betrayal was present and building during the 8 years of the Bush administration, it began to rapidly advance during the 8 years of Barack Hussein Obama, the open mockery of the 4 years of pretend president Joe Biden, finally reaching its stunning climax on Tuesday night. Donald Trump and the MAGA Movement has ushered in our most radical, most godless, the most idolatrous government ever.

“They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.” Hosea 8:4 (KJB)

We voted for Donald Trump in 2024 because we wanted him to keep his promises. We understood the man’s flaws, but we were hiring a president to deliver the specific agenda he promised us: no new wars, a prosperous economy, $2.00 gasoline, secure borders, and an America respected abroad. Then came the Iran war, a massive betrayal of his promise. Then came the tariffs and the kinetic economic disruption. Americans who voted for stability watched their president making decisions that were ushering in chaos and confusion. The consequences reached the gas pump, the grocery bill, with Republican candidates struggling to explain why voters should give their party more time. Trump owned those decisions. It was his name, his authority, his policies—and now his responsibility. You cannot campaign as the man who will fix everything and then demand immunity from blowback when your own decisions fail spectacularly.

And while Americans begged for relief, Trump only wanted to talk about war, golden statues, Reflecting Pools, bunker ballrooms, and lavish cavier and drag parties at Mar-a-Logo. What an extraordinary picture of misplaced priorities: a president celebrating the grandeur of his surroundings while the people who elected him worried about the cost of living. Republican advisers were hearing that frustration directly from voters, yet the renovation spectacle continued. Americans hired a president to improve their country, we did not hand him the country as a personal renovation project. Then came the reckoning.


THE END TIMES COUNTDOWN:

  • Today is day 1,716 of the Russia-Ukraine War
  • Today is day 2,426 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve
  • Today is day 251 of World War Trump in Iran
  • Today is day 28,665 of The Regathering Of Israel

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, on Tuesday night, the very same broad coalition that had ushered Trump into his 2024 landslide victory became the very same one that, finally, pulled the plug on him. But talk about locking the barn door after the cow has already gotten out. Because of Trump and the unchecked MAGA Movement, the most radical and godless candidates for office have won election. Today we are going to show you some of them, it’s not a pretty picture. This is what happens when a nation turns against the true and living God of the Bible, opting instead for man worship. Today’s podcast is a clarion call to the remnant born again Church to stand strong in these last days…the last days fight we told you was coming is here. TO THE FIGHT!!!
