Is the Charismatic Movement Demonic?

Is the Charismatic Movement Demonic?

As someone who loves researching my history, family tree and genetics, I took this interest and began looking into the modern Charismatic movement and how it was shaped into what it is today and what I’ve found is that it’s is a complex maze of genuine spiritual hunger mixed with doctrinal heresy, demonic manifestations, false prophets, false prophecy and severe moral failure in it’s most celebrated leaders. What started as a genuine, Holy Spirit led awakening morphed into the insanity that it is today. In this post, we’re going to look at the “family tree and DNA” of the movement.

Genesis 2:18-25 – Does 2 Samuel 12 Support Polygamy?

Genesis 2:18-25 – Does 2 Samuel 12 Support Polygamy?

Scripture never established concubines or polygamy as an ordained institution, but it did establish marriage between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24). While Scripture never established polygamy as a viable practice, it never “abolishes” it either. God had to frame some parameters around polygamy to protect vulnerable people from sinful inclinations. He also did the same for divorce and slavery. There were also some man-made laws to protect the abuse of power.

Hydraulic Plants and Animals

Hydraulic Plants and Animals

Hydraulics are part of our everyday lives. Fluids, such as the brake fluid used in your car, cannot be compressed so when you step on the brake pedal that fluid can be forced from a cylinder into the braking mechanisms attached to your wheels. All hydraulic machines work in a similar way because the fluid used will flow easily to areas where there is less pressure.

Genesis 2:18-20 – Too Much Activity on Day Six?

Genesis 2:18-20 – Too Much Activity on Day Six?

One of the reasons skeptics reject the validity of the biblical account of creation is because they find it impossible to believe that one man could name every single species of animal on the Earth in a single day. Considering there are only 86,400 seconds in a 24-hour period, we are told it is ridiculous to believe that an individual (who had never seen animals before the day he named them) could name several million species of animals in one day. Perhaps over a period of a few weeks he could accomplish such a task, but certainly not in a single day—right?

Genesis 2:18-19 – Did God Create Animals or Man First?

Genesis 2:18-19 – Did God Create Animals or Man First?

After reading the first two chapters of the Bible, some skeptics, in an attempt to disprove the Bible’s inerrancy, have accused the writer of Genesis of erring in regard to the record of events occurring on day six of creation. While Genesis 1:24-27 plainly indicates that man was created after the animals, critics claim that Genesis 2:18-19 teaches that man was created before animals. They strongly assert that such language by the author of Genesis proves that the Bible is not divinely inspired.

Doctors Use God’s Invention

Doctors Use God’s Invention

For thousands of years, man has applied a huge variety of things to his skin to help injuries heal. By trial and error he has come up with ointments that keep injured skin moist to assist the natural healing process. Antibiotics were eventually added to these ointments. But until recently no one has been able to actually increase the rate at which skin naturally heals.

The Most Complex Structure in the Universe

The Most Complex Structure in the Universe

Whether you know it or not, you are the proud owner of the most complex arrangement of matter in the universe. I am speaking of your brain. Even though it weighs only three pounds, the brain’s structure is so complex that it defies all explanation except to admit that a higher intelligence created it.

Genesis 2:18 – Is Marriage a “Good” Thing?

Genesis 2:18 – Is Marriage a “Good” Thing?

Generally, marriage is looked upon by the world around us as a good and acceptable institution. Since the commencement of time, the universal law has been that marriage is proper and beneficial. On the very day that God created the first man, He stated: “It is not good that man should be alone” (Genesis 2:18); thus He created a wife for Adam (2:21-24). Everything God had created and examined up until that point had been “good” (1:4,10,21,25). The one thing He stated as being “not good,” however, was man’s lack of human companionship. Therefore, God created woman to be man’s helper and lifelong companion. It was only after her creation (at the end of the six days) that we read for the first time His creation was “very good” (1:31).

Jesus’ Example of Slowing Down

Have you ever noticed that when asked—How are you doing?—many of us answer—Busy— without a second thought. I mean we don’t even think about it. Busy seems to be the cultural norm in our world, even our vacations often look and feel busy.
