5 Most Ridiculous Books to Ever Become Christian Best Sellers 

Wow revolutionary

I read it, and it seemed to me to be addressing the self-doubt that can manifest itself as God-doubt in our hearts. We don't think God is willing or able to do mighty things through us, so we don't ask or expect him to. Pray big!

I think it just blew up way more than anticipated. Wilkinson had written some pretty good material prior to that, but the publisher saw it as one of those "pray this" formula type books and promoted the heck out of it. :/ (Not saying it was a particular "good" book, because it wasn't, but it's still not a bad prayer - if praying to give glory to God. If praying to "get" something, yeah, it's bad.)

Me too.

I thought you were gonna say ridiculous book and I was gonna cry

One of mine too

Uncle Oswald - good bloke

Wonderful book for serious Christians.

Absolutely! Wish they’d come up with an app.

Amen!

Good advice . You can't go wrong with the holy bible✝️

Amen. .its the only book that the author speaks to you directly ....ponder !

AMEN !!!

Jews///// So then you can be just as confused as the bible is. As Bart Ehrman describes it, a book full of contradiction, discrepancy and error.

I'm not even Christian, but I totally agree.

Amen!!!

k0smon well if Bart Ehrman says so, I guess that’s all the thought I need to put into the subject!

i think "Wild at Heart" could be in this list as well...

@@sseltrek1a2b they have a female version too, don't remeber it's name but I read both. As a book they are not that bad, but as a "christian" book, well thats another story...

I stopped patronizing my local "Christian book store" when I entered and saw a huge display for "The Shack"---I walked out disgusted. Plus they had a nauseating amount of those Amish harlequin novels that seemed to be so popular...I remember trying to have a conversation with a family member about God and the Bible and they cited, "Oh yea, we saw that movie about God, you know the ""Heaven is For Real" "movie??? I get all I need to know about heaven from the Holy Bible---it says all I need to know....the rest of these charlatans---NOPE!!!! Basically if it sells to the world (best seller lists) today, it is usually not from God...The world has no love for God's things....just things that "tickle their ears"....

Can I ask what problem you have with “Purpose Driven Life”? I’ve never read it myself but I have many friends who have.

@@Theskybluerose I began reading "Purpose Driven Life" at the request of a coworker. In a nutshell, the book attempts to replace grace with works. Bible verses from cherry-picked translations are taken out of context to "support" the author's thesis. Some referenced verses do not mean what the author claims, and other verses say something completely different than they do in other, more common, translations. My two cents.

And that book is autobiographical and a true story of love, faith, sacrifice, and suffering for Christ. It is amazing...so is the movie that was made from the book.

Melissa Hyberger A Tramp for the Lord also written by Corrie, wonderful book as well.

@@sandyschutt6132 I don't know that book. Thank you for mentioning it. I will check it out!

yes! the best!

Yes that is a great book.. Mme. Guyon "Experience the Depts of Jesus Christ" One of the greatest books of all time you will feel the presents of God strong reading that book. Also God Calling just because someone used it to write another book and didn't cultivate hearing Gods still small voice doesn't mean God calling was a false book..On the contrary everyone that I loaned the book out to said it was a great great book.

WG////// You also are using it for toilet paper. When it runs out, use your bible, as there is some really bad stuff in that book.

Care to give some examples?

WG//// It tells you in the OT that it is OK to beat your slaves and kill your disobedient kids. It says that a perfect God has human failures, as jealousy, wrath and hatred. It says to take up your cross and follow Jesus. Since he has ascended, is this an invitation to suicide? It says to sell all and give to the poor. Then you would become one of the poor. Some interpret the bible as saying we go to sleep when we die and don't wake up till the 'second coming'. We know that is wrong because of the experience of those who have had NDEs. It intimated that God is a psychopathic maniac who provides an eternal torture chamber for some. It manufactures nonexistent entities such as Satan, demons and a fiery hell. The bible is a quagmire of truth and fiction, and as itself says, must be 'rightly divided'.

“It tells you in the OT that it is OK to beat your slaves and kill your disobedient kids. It says that a perfect God has human failures, as jealousy, wrath and hatred.

The bible is a quagmire of truth and fiction, and as itself says, must be 'rightly divided'.”I did some research (all of which you could do easily online, or by speaking with others familiar with Christianity and the Bible) and found a few answers. 1. I don’t have an answer about beating slaves. Killing slaves was prohibited by law.2. There’s no evidence that anyone killed his kids. Permitting doesn’t mean encouraging.3. What you call failures is a misinterpretation. God’s jealousy is the jealousy of someone who’s fiercely protective of the ones He loves. His wrath isn’t losing His temper, it’s wrath against those who have openly and stubbornly defied Him. As the Creator, He has the right to establish His laws, etc. Anyone who doesn’t accept this has the right (but not the ability) to create his own universe and all it contains.4. Your question about committing suicide is a non sequitur. Jesus’ sacrifice was voluntary. Nothing in Scripture suggests this. In fact, suicide is murder, prohibited in the Ten Commandments. 5. Selling all and giving the money to the poor isn’t a blanket command, but is directed at people whose idol is money. Joseph of Arimathea was rich but not condemned. 6. What does it matter whether we go to sleep? This is nitpicking, legalism. NDEs aren’t well understood and aren’t evidence for anything except that we don’t understand the mind as well as we think.7. Calling God a psychopath implies that you have a judgment standard. What is it? As far as His providing an eternal torture chamber, Scripture is ambiguous about its nature. All we can say is that God doesn’t send anyone there. It’s a place for people who want nothing to do with him, who adamantly refuse to love Him. He won’t force anyone into His presence, so Hell is the alternative.I left you a few points to see if you can figure out how to resolve them. If you’re sincere with your questions, find a Christian friend/acquaintance, or a Christian minister for more detailed answers. Check Amazon for books Christian apologetics. Do your research.

WG Bader • Best comment award!

Someone gave me Jesus Calling as a gift. I read maybe 2 pages and immediately knew it was heresy. I felt so strongly about that, that I didn’t even throw it away, I burnt it. As for The Shack. Oh my goodness. All my friends were reading it and talking about it, which for some reason put my “spidey sense” on full alert. Being one who does due diligence, I read the book so that I could refute it in specifics. I was shocked that women I considered true, strong followers of Christ defended it with vigor.😞. That book ended up on the charcoal grill😊

Olsteen clearly sold him his book, that's why the 2nd half of Job's life was twice as prosperous as the first.

Olsteen has probably never read the Bible!!

Good point! I don’t think so ☹️

Yes, save the trees, ban these new age evangelicals from writing books. ;)

Jesse//// What a perfect description of the bible.

Lol.

Maybe if you had been abused by an abusive Christian father in the name of God you might see and experience it differently. It wasn't written as theology, but for therapy and he never intended for it to go outside his own family but it helped so many others that it went viral. www.thesanctuarydenver.org/sermons/paul-youngs-testimony/

@@edeancozzens3833 homeeducatingmumof2.blogspot.com/2009/10/shack.html

Lol! I have done this, too!!!

That's funny we should all make that a habit

Lol that just makes it stand out more, while also making it intriguing. Probably boosts sales, I bet Osteen loves you guys.

He's not a preacher, he's a motivational speaker. Anyone that won't preach on hell because he doesn't want to depress people is not a Christian leader. Jesus himself spoke on hell 3x more than heaven. Osteen is just tickling itching ears!!!

Me too!

Where was the heresy? Because it portrayed as God the father as a female that could change his appearance or that God the Father appeared at all? It was a fantasy.

Maybe The Shack isn't listed because it's NOT a Christian book, but blatant new age heresy.

Care to elaborate on this with specifics?

Watch the author tell his back story. www.thesanctuarydenver.org/sermons/paul-youngs-testimony/

@@auntlavinia8170 Exactly which ideas are you thinking of?

@@jenniferhiemstra5228 I wrote a review of The Shack - read it here homeeducatingmumof2.blogspot.com/2009/10/shack.html

The Circle Maker is all about focusing on what you are praying for. Continuing to pray. The Jewish Rabbi was merely an illustration of someone who prayed without ceasing. Great Book.

Ben/// They are self-help books, and you need them desperately.

Wow Benjamin, really feelin the love!!

He's not wrong. They are extremely unbibilical and heresy leaning

@@jennifermcculloch5324 //// And you need them too.

@@k0smon I have the bible..I'll be alright. Thank you for your concern though

Finally found someone mentioning I Kissed Dating Goodbye. Thank you.

My last gf was reading that while we were dating. When she talked about it, I got uncomfortable vibes. The whole message of "when you kiss someone or have sex with someone, you lose a part of yourself" is just really damaging to people. She stopped reading it after a little while. I still have a strong hatred towards most Christian dating books. The theme always seems to be "don't have fun, don't be vulnerable, no romance, wait until marriage to have a relationship"

Though Joshua Harris has gone away from his faith, he wrote the books while he was following the Lord. I found it helpful. People do not protect their hearts and bodies before marriage and end up bringing baggage into their relationships. And sex is meant for marriage, unless you are unaware of what fornication means. Anyone also knows kissing opens the door to a more physical relationship. Unmarried christians are to protect one another's purity(heart, body, and soul.) The Bible addresses the idea of purity many times.

Momma Joy for many, including myself, it skewed the notion of understanding why we get married and made its main focus of marriage on sexual satisfaction.

I read something about Alex not ever wanting for the story to be told because it wasn’t true. He felt it was wrong from the beginning.

The bonus fact was not slanderous. It indicated the son had a conscience. Its popularity, even within groups that knew better, is a great reason to include this book. Maybe amend the bonus fact, but it is a short video.

I agree Mr Jones. Even if we find something unsuitable for us, we have to be careful about what we criticise. I refused to read The Shack for 3 years for the same reason hundreds of people on here have slagged it off, but when I eventually read it, God blessed me immensely. I am learning to be careful what I read, but at the same time, be careful what I criticise because God can use many things to draw us closer to him. I'm happy to say that The Shack IS a God-inspired book, despite the crazy references to him being depicted as an African American women and such. Plus, some people HAVE been to Heaven because their message points to Jesus and warns about the dangers of living a lukewarm life. So I'm glad you had the courage to stick up for Alex. If every single one of us who commented on here wrote a Christian book, thousands of brothers and sisters would find something wrong with it and be slagging us off too. Yes, we need discernment, especially for those like Osteen, but we also need grace. It's a fine balance.

I listened to his testimony and they match scriptures so I know hell is for real. By the way, it was a vision, he didn't die.

Definitely read the book. He shares vivid details about his experience yet he also shares sooo much Scripture about Hell (it all matches 😉) and the best part is, his foremost desire is not that you believe him or his story, but that you take the Gospel to heart & give your life to the Lord.

😂😂😂💯

Natalie Arlene very true, it doesn’t mention demons as torturers Hell...but I don’t think it has to. It also doesn’t give us exclusive details about Heaven, or angels, or other various topics, probably because they are facts not necessary for salvation or our Christian growth. On the note of demons torturing Hell’s prisoners, Bill makes the point that a couple times God poured out His wrath on earth by means of “executioners” and “serpents” (Job 33:22 & Deut. 32:24) and suggests why wouldn’t there be similar yet worse punishment in Hell?

@@noahmlong The Lake of Fire is a place of punishment for the Devil, the Beast, the Prophet, and all those that follow them. It doesn't make sense that one set of prisoners being punished would be in charge of inflicting punishment on another set of prisoners, especially if the first set or prisoners might find some enjoyment in the process.

I enjoyed the shack as a work of fiction with biblical symmetry much like the works of CS Lewis or even other so called fiction. It is a shame that Christian Producers who made a wholesome movie like the shack had to compete with Christians going to see wolverine slaughter people with his adamantium claws,from Hollywood elite who hate the God you serve.

It's quotes like this that worry me from The Shack: "I don't need to punish people for sin. Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside. It's not my purpose to punish it; it's my joy to cure it." You won't find that in C.S. Lewis.

I agree with your view, this line is ...a half truth, but I reiterate...The shack was a fiction book... not a theological discourse. Many films and books have a religious base and the problem with our society is that we have Hollywood depict Biblical truths, instead of "Reading the Bible" ourselves. Movies like the Ten commandments, and the more recent and highly ridiculous movie "Noah" are full of blatant biblical blasphemies. The shack never made attempt to be a bible based story. I think it is along the lines of "Its a wonderful life. ( but this is just my opinion) I am upset with the hypocrisies of Christians who endorse sin laden movies and blast Christian ones. If anyone should support christian based media, Christians should, The shack does not in my opinion belong on this list. Nice having an honest dialog with you Jonathan.

I definitely appreciate your sentiment that Christians should not endorse such sinful and anti biblical movies. Regarding The Shack, the author states himself (I believe somewhere on the outside or inside of the cover), that the book was theology wrapped in fiction. It was attempting to be a truthful fiction book, one that uses a story to teach truths about God. Any book or movie that teaches falsities about God (and promotes heresy) should be rightfully exposed. Anyway, I can tell you mean well by what you say about both, I appreciate your call to discernment in secular media, it’s much needed. Take care!

it never mentions needing Jesus as your purpose in life. i read half and stopped. it was horrible.

you are welcome. I would recommend anything from rc sproul or james white or al mohler. plus rick warren signed a document saying muslims and christians worship the same God.

exactly. plus he also called pope francis his pope. Just be careful. wolves in sheep's clothing.

Please check facts before discrediting people. Shame on you. www.christianitytoday.com/edstetzer/2012/march/rick-warren-interview-on-muslims-evangelism-missions.html

Suzanne Sparshott I read the letter that he signed.

surely you would read it and make up your own mind

Listen the Book God calling is a Great great book its real pray ask God! It is truly a God inspired book. Just because someone used it wrongfully doesn't make it wrong. God still speaks his still small voice today... He speaks through waters he speaks through many water Ecclesiastics says. God calling Book is about 2 women who were in a Muslim country without a Bible and they prayed and heard from God and wrote it down every day for a year. Everyone I loaned the book out to said it was one of the greatest books they have ever read. I had to buy more books. It has helped many people. Read it if you have it.

I had just bought it in March (3 mos. ago) but I couldn’t really get into it. After listening to Warren Smith talk about it my granddaughter and I ripped it up. 🙌🏻🙂

@@stockinettestitch so you are happy to go with what others tell you rather than make your own decisions. I once jokingly told a minister that i followed his every word without question. He said Andrew I can't imagine anyone less likely to do so. He saw that as a good thing. It is. You should never accept what someone teaches without checking if its true. I have had so many christians tell me what muslims believe. i was talking to a muslim one day and during the conversation his representation of what christians believed was so wrong it made me wonder if I had been taught wrong. I actually did a new believers course in Islam with Shia teachings. In case anyone is worrying i am definitely a christian and that will not change. God has proven to me he is real and so i have no choice but to follow him.

@@stockinettestitch It is not a book that you read and read and read. It's a book you just sit read and meditate and feel the presence of God. God would speak to me what page to read and while pondering the words I would just bask in God's presence.

@@edeancozzens3833 homeeducatingmumof2.blogspot.com/2009/10/shack.html

slooob23 In the beginning was the Word (John 1). The Bible is not just a book. It contains the Word and is about the Word. Hence, the Bible is referred to as the Word of God and is inspired by the Spirit. Faith comes from hearing this Word, or the message of Christ. By dismissing the Bible as just “a book” about Jesus, its power is downplayed. This isn’t to say that Jesus is the Bible, but that Jesus himself as the Word is found and revealed in the message the Spirit inspired. Adds more meaning to “If you remain in me and my words remain in you...” doesn’t it? The only alternative is too delve into mysticism in order to experience a “personal relationship”. Been there, done that. It’s dangerous. Run from anyone who tells you that Jesus is heard apart from Scripture.

Jesus can be heard apart from scripture but never in contradiction of scripture. The whole purpose of salvation is relationship. The fact that some people abuse that reality is irrelevant, the same heart condition that causes one person to do such a thing will just as readily cause another person to become legalistic in a more formal or 'accepted' mode of worship. Jesus Himself exposed such a reality very clearly when He said: - “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. Life is in relationship with Him, the knowledge of scripture read with the wrong motives simply gets fed into our sinful 'good and evil' mode of being that maintains our independence from Him. Jesus freed us from the toxic, subjective, independent moral agency that we gained from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, all human depravity and sin is caught up in that reality. The answer is a return to relationship and a renouncing of that deadly fruit.

slooob23 we are instructed to study scripture faithfully so we know the false doctrines and teachers.Yeshua is the Word made flesh,the Word is the Bible.The OT tells of YHWH's character,His holiness,His righteous judgement.It tells of the great Israelite patriachs,how they are YHWH's people,their rebellions,why the Messiah had to come and why we need to be praying for Israel and the jewish nation.without Biblical knowledge your walk with Christ is not strong

I think those who have had no access to a bible and have died a martyr's death might have a different opinion. The Word of God should be venerated, but too many Christians put principles and doctrine over relationship with the Father. God can and does speak to us through His Word "the Bible", but God is not contained to speak to people only through the bible. It should never contradict however.

True. But the God of the Bible was/is NEVER manipulated into doing so. These books that provide formulas for getting your prayers answered are heretical.

Yes he does but we do not get everything we ask for just as a loving parent would not give their child whatever they wanted ...but we can completely trust God to do what is best for us and that us believers everything that happens to us is in His will and ultimately for our good.

Great statement and 100% correct. Context not so much. Implication is that you support those that differ from what the Bible teaches.

@@annescott5442 prove it i'll make you rich.

Wicked in what way?

I agree with you! My pastor gave a message on Joshua and Caleb when they were entering the promise land and talked on how Caleb asked boldly for a specific piece of land. There is a difference between your relationship with God hinging on how well He answers your requests versus the fact that we are instructed by God to boldly ask Him for help, for good things, for specific things- there is not fault in that, the only fault is in a person's heart if they ask amiss or become bitter when He doesn't deliver.

Love the heart of Dr Bruce Wilkinson. He is sincere

He left out the part where the author makes up a great story and attributes it to Jabez when we have no way of knowing how much of it is true because the Bible doesn't say. Yes, Challies did that. Perfectly acceptable. Also, the book only came in 5th. Not worst mention. Worth being on the list due to the type of people who read it (those in love with Jesus) versus the type who read Live Your Best Life Now (those in love with themselves). The point about it being wrong to make a short descriptive point into a long prescriptive point is incredibly educational. All the other books on the list didn't need explanation for why they were there. It was obvious.

I was wondering why The Shack was not one of the worst but given what he explained about all the books he posted in the video, I would then suppose that The Shack was just a novel very loosely based on God.

I also kept waiting for it to be mentioned.

Linda G , I wonder why he didn’t mention The Shack. It’s blasphemous!

..... and people thought it was so great, without looking out for a n y t h i n g....

@@jtoms3 I received that book at a white elephant exchange. I read it and threw it away afterward. Garbage! If you read the author's current beliefs he isn't a Christian.

🤣🤣

Please check into John Piper, too, before you breathe too easily. Todd Friel on Wretched Radio (RU-vid) addressed him, I believe, as do others. It's difficult when we discover that people we trust and respect are not what we thought, but we have to be open to it and accept the truth. I had to do that with Ravi.

I would add anything by Rob Bell

I had to watch his nooma videos. I always felt nauseous from watching those.

Bell denounced God

I am so sorry. As a new believer, we used them in our teen group. Until I learned of his denouncing of God. Same with Henri Nouwen

Thinking the same thing!!!!

NP R First, I am so glad you decided to follow our Father God. 😇 You have to be very caustious in the world we live in. My advice is discard all the books and start reading the Bible and focus on our Father God. Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, and to get right to the point, he is a false prophet when the light of God's Word is shined upon his works. Like Pastor T.D. Jakes (Fakes), Rick Warren has exploited the name of Jesus Christ to become filthy rich. The following exposing T.D. Jakes 100% applies to Rick Warren as well. Prosperity Pimp T.D. Fakes - Net Worth $18,000,000 - Exposed!!!| Part Two (IMPOSTER ALERT!!!). These men talk about the things of God while filling their money-bags, dwelling in mansions and living like the Rockefellers. Ironically, the word “minister” means “servant,” but these imposters serve themselves more than anybody. Mr. Warren has made millions of dollars selling books, including The Purpose Driven Church, and now The Purpose Driven Life, which has become a #1 New York Times Bestseller. As of July 2015 Warren's net worth is $25,000,000! There is much good material in Rick Warren's book, as with John MacArthur's books; BUT, they are misleading. If someone were to place one drop of sewer water into a gallon of milk, would you drink any? No way! Rick Warren is part of the Ecumenical Movement, that is preparing the apostate world to receive the coming beast system of Antichrist. Modern evangelicals replace love for truth, and compromise for holiness. God deliver us from deadbeat neo-evangelicals! It's called “The Emerging Church Movement,”

NP R, how wonderful that the Lord has drawn you to himself!!! I recommend anything by John MacArthur. He has an excellent study Bible, sermons and other resources on the Grace to You website, and lots books that have come out of his Bible study series. What you need is to listen to expository preaching. That is where the preacher teaches the scripture one verse at a time, one book at a time. With expository preaching, God’s Word is what leads and what is front and center. Always watch out for people who are using scripture in snippets and not in big chunks because it can be taken out of context and used to further human opinions. Never ever ever approach the Bible with the question of what is this saying to me. Instead we need to seek what the Author is conveying to us.

Korger////// Following God is good. He needs no Jesus. My advice would be to discard the bible. See Carlton Pearson for some good inspiration.

Because some are leading folk away from Christ. And their end could be worse than their begining

Life begins with Christ. Nothing like responding using only the word of God! Well done.

I just got myself a copy of that. What's wrong with it ?

And the dreadful misleading Left Behind garbage which many Christians think is fact.......Or Hal Lindsey’s Late Great Planet Earth bestseller........These books have people obsessed with “end times” and consequently leads to newspaper exegesis instead of letting the bible interpret itself...

@@natuhango1991 , There are 8.6 Billion people in this world. And the well meaning yet naive gentleman tries to narrow them all down to having 4 basic temperaments. His system is plagiarized from the Middle Ages. People are varied and diverse. Our Creator loves diversity. Just look at all of the different types of plants and flowers in the world. All of the colours and shades and nuisances in human behavior cannot be neatly contained in 4 basic personality temperaments. The book is full of black and white thinking. The concept is insulting to both humans and our Creator. I read the book when it first came out in the 1970s only because so many pastors and Christian counselors were using it as their basis of typing clients. I find it promotes a dangerous notion that emotional expression is " bad" and " pure logic" is " good". This common misunderstanding is at the root of many marriage problems and many mental health issues people of faith suffer from today. If you are looking for a way to understand personality theory and learn more about your Self and others, check out The Briggs Meyers Personality Inventory. I recommend going onto Pinterest . It's free and you can read thousands of entries about Briggs Meyer. This is the personality testing that has been the standard in the Western World for over 40 years now.. Counselors and Pastors use the Briggs Meyers inventory test in premarital and career counseling. There are websites where you can take the test for free. Normally psychologist charge a fee for this service. But after a free search on Pinterest and a few hours of research you will benefit from a much more detailed analysis of personality theory. Briggs Meyers is based on the work of Carl Jung. I took my first Briggs Meyers Personality Inventory test at 16years old for a career assessment. Then again at 20 years for premarital counseling. In those days it was only avalible to psychologists. I filed the findings away. Being a member of a faith community that did not put much weight in psychology, I disregarded the results. Twenty years later I took the test again. Amazed to discover the accuracy of my results. By chance I found the first two tests while cleaning out my files. It revealed to me how over a period of 40 years my basic personality had remained the same. I believe our Loving God created us and breathed Life into us. And that we are indeed complex and multifaceted beings. And that personality is only a part of us. The Bible is in my opinion the best way to learn about our Self, through learning about Who Jesus is and who He says we are in Christ. I have spent years studying the scriptures and memorizing the Word of God. So I take personality theory with a grain of salt. That being said I would recommend you read the book of Proverbs if you want to understand your fellow man more thoroughly. I hope this helps. I am sending love and hugs from Washington State, USA,, Jeanne of In Loving Hands Counseling and ASMR

Ya, but he's rich now. If you go back in history, you will find the name Darby in the 1800's associated with the theory. Not much, before him.

Paul personally knew a man who had visited Heaven, recounted in 2 Corinthians 12:2-5. There he "heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell." If that man wasn't permitted to share his experiences, why should we believe anyone who does so freely? In all of scripture, only four prophets had visions of Heaven(but did not actually go there). That's four people over a period of over four thousand years. 5% of Americans speak about having had an NDE each year. Unless you believe that sixteen million people in the USA alone are becoming prophets every year, something doesn't add up.

Quite commonly believers recognize only the 66 books of the Bible as God's word (& My sheep hear my voice) "As for prophecy, it shall cease" (1 Cor 13). NOBODY has ever successfully added one chapter to the Bible since the last book was written about AD 100. So if you have some document that you believe is also God's word, bring it forth & give us your proof that it is God's Word. & if you have a guy you think is a prophet, let him demonstrate his ability to predict the future: Tell us the winner & the score of the next Super Bowl Tell us what the high temperature will be in Denver Colorado on July 4, 2020.

My favorite "Christian" book is John.

Thank you!

001///// NOW is all you have. The past is gone, the future is just a promise. No wonder you need to make it your best life. The well known pastor is a small thinker with little understanding.

Mr John M. That was a good sermon :)

That's a very broad statement.you can't preach that from a platform,only to some individuals that fit a negative description.

I don’t even understand what that means.

@@eleo_b The above summary is a little misconstrued. The pastor's point was that our best life should be in heaven, not earth. The only way this could be your best life now is if you're going to hell (i.e. it's your best life now because your afterlife wont' be) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jDuDN2FtrIo.html&t

Hi, I've been adhering to the prosperity doctrine for about 40 years, since i first became an ordained minister. I've never asked for a dime, well honestly I never asked more than 11 cents from anyone and that was only or my soap ministry Alyssa Michelle Soap. We do fairs and each soap costs us, me and my Alyssa Angel (killed in drunk driving high speed accident 2005) 50cents to make and so after about 8 years, 10,000 soaps made and given away (about $50K) no one donated a penny and I asked lot people, churches and government agencies and now we have covid-19, my point being that the prosperity gospel was the answer to an overwhelming majority of churches who preached God put sickness and disease on us to teach us lessons. Associate your children with the consequences of being derelict. I have the most Holy Cross in human history, i can share more with you if you want. I've been studying a lot of natural sciences the last 10 years, a lot of physics and philosophy. It's been a struggle to be sure, but if I didn't, I'd like to think God wouldn't have given me an aneurysm _because I didn't._ Kenneth Hagin is the Father of the Faith movement, he had an incurable blood disease and as I recall would have died as a child, but God miraculously healed him instead. The Admiral put me to work full time when I wasn't in school, The Admiral who fulfilled the Holy Bible, all of God's promises, put me to work full time at age 11. Obviously i don't know anything else, i can't compare my life to another's. For the last 8 years since Alyssa and I started the soap ministry, I've been trying to give people the Gift of Rapture. It's been working out so far, you know, excpet this covid-19 thing. My heart breaks when i see little children wearing masks, it's not directly my fault.

@@trustinjesus1119 //// The bible teaches prosperity. It is not evil. What is the 'gift of rapture'?

The reality is that every time anyone wants to admonish those who are astray they get rebuked by those who are in fact astray and even cursed and called names because they who are rebuking are "unloving".

@@k0smon _"...A fiery hell is a fiction, as is much of the bible.. The eternal NOW... your only true possession.

It's coming, the Bible said so.

@@k0smon Sorry K0smon, not sure if your being serious or sarcastic with your comment. Feel free to elaborate.

Andrea, I too dabbled in the occult, Crowley-ism, John Dee, Agrippa and all that crock. It deeply saddens me to see the same wolves dressed as Sheep preaching the Gnostic Gospel such as Osteen, teaching the same old serpent’s lie “We can be as Gods” in form of Claim It Grab It to millions of unaware lukewarm Christians who wont dive deep into the true Word of God. God bless you Andrea, am Glad to see brothers and sisters in Christ who were also rescued from the evil one.

@@adiblatif Thankyou Adib L!! I think there will be many more saved though I don't think the church as it is now is ready to recieve those coming out of New Age/Occult. Having been involved in those things spiritually opened my mind up to a lot of confusion and depression, while Jesus has healed me I had to get help outside of the mainstream churches to truly deal with things. This seeker friendly capitalist Christisnity doesn't have the depth in Christ to truly set the captives free. But I know God in His infinite love and grace has got a plan. It just saddens me to see Christians getting fat on milk when they should be ready for meat.

I used to listen to Glenn Beck because I enjoyed him exposing socialism and other evils. But he would always be promoting this type of garbage on his show. I could tell he wanted so badly to share his Mormon faith with his audience, no doubt convinced that the LDS church would one day be shown to be the one true church.

@@truthbebold4009 drawing circles has nothing to do with the LDS church.

@@imawordgirl I can see from reading my post why you thought I associated the two things. He did promote the drawing circles book and other nonsense. He also would talk about Mormon topics, like the episode where he discussed the mound builders and new mound discoveries.

If you look into the one story apparently he was stabbed because he would use his circle praying power to help the Maccabees defeat their enemy. There is a little bit more about him in Josephus I believe.

Fair point. Safe to say the guy who drew the circle wasn't into witchcraft though. He's more similar to Jacob telling God his conditions. Funny thing is, when God chooses you, He doesn't care how big of a bonehead you are, He still has you.

Whenever someone "knows their worthy" is when you know not to trust anything they say.

And thank you, Shirley McClain and later, Oprah, for making yhis garbage acceptable.

Embraced by the Light is very Buddhist..❤

I read that book. I actually had a religious experience because of it. I had been seriously depressed to the point of wanting to die. I decided to read that book before I went. I had a dream or something and because of that experience I woke up, free of depression and came off my medication. I lived in bliss for a long time. Not giving the book the credit but that's what I was reading before the experience. It would take another twenty years before I became a Christian. (2021)😊

@@witness4Him My only objection is that the book was considered a "Christian bestseller" but it wasn't Christian. That should have been obvious to other Christians but it wasn't for some reason.

bonhoeffer would shake his head so much doing that meeting he would have a headache

Martin Luther and Osteen would be great too: adam4d.com/luther-vs-osteen/

@@johng482 Actually we have that conversation by proxy from the 1500's in the debate between Martin Luther and Desiderius Erasmus. The Luther/Erasmus debate was a celebrity level debate between the leader of the Reformed movement and what some would say is the greatest secular humanist to draw a breath. At least Erasmus was a highly educated intellectual. If Luther dueled Osteen, Luther would be taking on an unarmed man.

Wearing a noose doesn't fit Osteen's comfortable life.

@@Gablesman888 Luther and Eck. Much more interesting to watch.

In 2 Tim 4, Paul tells us, "I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word [as an official messenger]; be ready when the time is right and even when it is not [keep your sense of urgency, whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether convenient or inconvenient, whether welcome or unwelcome]; correct [those who err in doctrine or behavior], warn [those who sin], exhort and encourage [those who are growing toward spiritual maturity], with inexhaustible patience and [faithful] teaching. For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, and will turn their ears away from the truth and will wander off into myths and man-made fictions [and will accept the unacceptable]. But as for you, be clear-headed in every situation [stay calm and cool and steady], endure every hardship [without flinching], do the work of an evangelist, fulfill [the duties of] your ministry (2 Tim 4:1-5, Amp)." What really sticks out to me is the statement that people will want their ears tickled and seek out teachers who will tell them just what they want to hear. In many regards, I see that happening all around, even in many churches that claim to get all authority from the Word of God.

Jesus is a prophet too Almighty god created Jesus Jesus was and he is a Human

Bingo...

@Judy Hinterlong May I ask why you don't like Rick Warren?? I have never read anything from him.

@Judy Hinterlong /// Does Rick prophesy?

I bought one of his books, couldn't finish reading it, not sure why, I gave it away I think, probably to goodwill? I should have thrown it away. I also stopped watching him. I hear what Good Bible believing Pastors are saying, they don't name names, but it is obvious which Pastor's or Motivational speakers they are speaking of, Thank you for enlightening me. Blessings.

He would need to make a five hour video to list all the horrible "Christian" books out there on the market.

I would have expected it to be number one...

@@deliamihai8859 And I would have thought anything Joel Osteen wrote would have been number one...LOL.

True! That story was terrible!!!

@Samuel Lewis The born again Christian who gave it to you to read may not have been a "seasoned" Christian. Many brand new believers have just started to learn about Jesus and the faith...and many go down wrong paths of influence and doctrine until they read more of the Bible and grow in knowledge of the scriptures. It happens to all of us once we become saved...we then are on our journey to become sanctified in Christ...which means we will make any mistakes, fall into sin, and search for truth and understanding. For some of us it takes a long time of trial and error until we finally find pastors and Bible teachers who have sound doctrine to help us find truth.

Was about to comment the same thing

I will give you what I believe would be most Christian's choice: Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. I will let you choose the fifth..

Top 5 1. The Bible 2. The Bible 3. The Bible 4. The Bible 5. The Bible :)

I think he meant aside the obvious. He meant books Christians should read. The Bible is a book Christians MUST read if they consider themselves truly Christian.

Derek in Sydney. Good one brother! From NZ.

I think he mispoke. The sayin gis to eat the meat and throw the bones out. But you pastor suggested a book about witchcraft.

Katherine McChesney yes, I absolutely agree that it is not a Biblically based book! He didn’t mispeak - I did not quote him exactly but should have, in retrospect, to be succinct. He really meant to “eat” what wasn’t thrown out - because he was obviously recommending the book for our consumption.

Sister Heidi I left my church of over 20 years because of Batterson, The Shack , The Message Bible and I have not found a church since they all need an autopsy , I was Assembly of God I taught children loved it but when I had to deal with unteachable adults that why I flew the Chicken Coop ! Now wonderful hubby and I read the Word together Pray Together , Take Communion ( grape juice ) and bread , we are happier than we have ever been and we can't wait for the Lords Return . I am A Watchman , I watch ,Wait, and Warn . God Bless .

Brenda Girard God bless you, too! You both sound lovely. We’ve been homeschooling for 16 years and our last is 4 so we have quite a few years to go :). So, I wasn’t saved until my mid 20s and God has used my responsibilities to teach my children His Word as a way to teach me in the process. Really a blessing. Hope you find like-minded people in your life to share your faith with and that God sends to you people who need your loving kindness.

Oh, that makes me laugh. Strangely enough I've heard the same saying. 15 years later and now I know to strongly rebuke anyone saying it.

We are close to seeing Christ coming on the clouds. Things are going to get worse, don't dis-pare, keep your eyes on the clouds looking for Christ. The following is an observation, I don't know exactly how things are going to transpire. We do know that Christ said when you see these things happening know that I Am right at the door. In the last days it will be like the days of Noah. Today we know what the days of Noah were like. Any more things are happening almost hourly. Matt. 24 talks about wars, earthquakes, famine, pestilence and it is all happening. Worldwide devil worshiping, human sacrificing fools, and the leaders are Hollywood. Half time shows at the Super bowl all Illuminati. Opening ceremonies at Winter Games all Illuminati. People don’t even know what gender they are. Muslims want to be king of the world along with the World Bank, the Pope. Even though things look out of control, God is in full control. For all the non-believers, those who want to deny Jesus Christ, should do a little research. You have no excuse, with the push of a button on a computer key board all kinds of info will pop up on your monitor. In my day all I had was encyclopedias and history book, the most important was the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ is real and the proof is there if you ask and look. He is the only God-man that has made the claims He made, HE is the only God-man that was resurrected and there is proof of that. You should at least look and listen to what He said. There are many prophecies in the Bible that prophesizes the end times. Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, Revelation, and many other parts in the Bible give you the end in detail. Ezekiel 37, 38 talks about those dry bones being brought back to life. May 10 1948 Israel was reborn a nation and the Jew’s would be gathered back to their homeland from all 4 corners of the earth. Never before has a nation been reborn after 2000 years. Just in the past 100 years archeology discoveries have been staggering. Christ Himself said, even if you keep my disciples quiet the stones themselves will shout. The 3rd Temple would be built just before or during the beginning of the 7 year tribulation, at some point the Rapture happens. None of this could happen until Israel was a nation again. Just before the Tribulation the 3rd Temple will be built. The Jewish people announced about a year ago they have all the necessary things for the 3rd Temple; they just have to figure out where it goes. Within the past 15 years they found another so called myth, just another story in the Bible according to the skeptics, King David's city. They now think they have found a part of King Solomon's Temple. Christ says when you see these things happening know I Am at the door. One other thing that will happen is Damascus will be completely destroyed. This city is the longest lasting city in human history. Sorry Justin Trudeau I didn't say people kind history. It will be a sea of glass to Persia, today we know it as Iran. How did Ezekiel know this stuff 2700 years ago? Wake up you non-believers. You people have no excuse. I believe Saddam Hussein sold his weapons of mass destruction to the Syrian president 7 months before his war began for $50 million. They converted passenger jets to transport this stuff. If Syria hits Israel with a chemical weapon I think Israel will respond by taking Damascus out with nukes. And then Russia, Iran and the rest of the Islam nations will come into Israel just like the prophecies say. God Himself will cause, I think 7 out of 8 to die on the spot. The bodies will be piled up to a horses buckle and it will take 7 months to clean them up. I believe this is when the Anti-Christ will establish his kingdom and the world will be willing to sign a peace treaty. Islam will be reduced to nothing; they will have no power to take on anyone. George Soros and his evil buddies will be the World Bank, the Pope will be the one world religion, and the Anti-Christ will be head of it all. Peace will last for 3 ½ years then the devil will kill the church. Read Revelation and many seals are opened up at this point; God pours His wrath upon the earth. At the end of the 7 years Jesus Christ returns and He will end it all and His kingdom will last forever. Romans chapter 1 God says He put a piece of Himself in each one of us, we have no excuse. Millionaires try to fill that spot with money, there are many ways people try to fill that spot. There is only one way, Jesus said: “I Am the way, no one comes to the Father but through me.” The gate is narrow, the road is narrow and few are those who find it. The gate is wide; the road is wide that leads to destruction and many are those who will find it. You have a body soul and spirit, your soul and spirit have the same attribute as God, they live forever. Every human has wondered in their life, what lies beyond? God set His redemption plan in operation many thousands of years ago sense the fall of man in the Garden of Eden. God has not lost control and He will not. He is God Almighty, He is the God of love mercy and compassion and he does not chop people’s heads off or sacrifice children. These things happening in the world today must happen, the redemption plan is almost finished and the wicked will be done for once and for all. The devil will be cast into the Lake of Fire and God will have His creation as He planned from the beginning. It’s your choice if you want to spend eternity in heaven, or in hell. Luke 17:19-31 makes it clear there are no spirits walking around scaring people, there is a great divide between heaven and hell you do not just cease to exist.

Drop John Piper off the list and I completely agree

Piper should be on the list.

Tozer's Knowledge of the Holy was a deep blessing when someone I did not know sent it to me in 1971. It still is!

I believe Tozer was the most important messenger of God in the 20th century. He came along at a time when there was a major shift taking place not only in Western culture but in the church. He saw this long before it happened. The cultural revolution of the 60's was a revolution to destroy Christian influence in America and it succeeded. Tozer warned against this time and again in his books. The Body of Christ must guard against the influence of the world and should be influencing the world around it. Tozer knew God in a way that few men have. His expertise with the English language and his ability to communicate broad deep thought in a few sentences that others take books to expound witnesses to the work of the Holy Spirit in his life to communicate Gods character and will to His people. I believe the Knowledge of the Holy is probably the most important theological work of the 20th century because it is concise, readable by the laymen yet profound enough to cause the learned theologian to contemplate the nature of God. Another testament to the work of the Divine in Tozer's life was the fact that he never went to college. While Tozer's works are largely acknowledged by many to be profoundly beneficial, sadly, his message fell of deaf ears.

Agree!
