2 “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. 2 Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; 3 and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.”
One can’t be too careful these days.
The following statement is made with this scripture from 2 Peter in mind:
It is almost six years since I have published this post. In that time, it has been the most viewed post on this blog. I tried to research a bit about Mr. Ryle at the time and found nothing bad. As the message was good, I put it up never guessing it would be as popular as it is.
HERE IS ONE OF THE LINKS I FOUND THAT CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT JAMES RYLE THAT CONNECTS HIM TO THE “MANIFEST SONS OF GOD.”
Today, I have found a critique of Mr. Ryle. It states that James Ryle connects himself to the “Manifest Sons of God.” Below is a description of that group. Since it is a group that teaches false teachings I will have to remove this post. I will wait until July 4th, 2016 before removing the post so that anyone who wants to prove this allegation incorrect has the opportunity to do so. If I get no evidence to the contrary, the post comes down. I don’t care how popular it has been, if the author believes what is described below, it does not have a place on this blog.

Part of Neo-Pentecostalism.
The teaching that in the last days, a “new breed” of Christians will arise – the “Manifest Sons of God” – who will have super-natural spiritual power and be instrumental in subduing the earth. This movement is also referred to as “Joel’s Army.”
‘Subduing the earth’ means that a militant church (Joel’s Army) will arise, take over and rule the world politically and spiritually.
It is claimed that the ‘Manifest Sons of God’ will be perfected into their “glorified bodies” prior to Christ’s return. That perfection will allow them to subdue the earth for Jesus. Proponents of this doctrine also claim Christians, having a “divine nature,” become “gods.” They say Christ came into us as a “seed” and grows into a “prophet.” Thus Christ does not physically return, but returns within us. The rapture, according to this doctrine, will be of the wicked – not of believers.

This teaching is part of what is known as ‘dominion theology’ which teaches that an elite army of ‘overcomers’ will either destroy or subdue all the enemies of Christ until they eventually gain power and authority throughout the world. The government of the nations will be upon their shoulders and when all the secular authorities, governments, princes and kings have finally submitted to them, Christ will return and they will present the kingdom to him.

The doctrine also includes the idea that Jesus was sent as a “pattern” for the corporate church (Corporate church in this context means that the church becomes Christ. Christ is considered not complete without us because he is the head and we are the body).
The current church, according this this view, has the “spirit of the anti-Christ.”
This teaching is akin to gnosticism
This teaching is promoted in some of today’s controversial Renewal and Revival Movements (e.g. by Paul Cain).

WEEKLY WRAP-UP FOR 2016-6-4
June 5, 2016HERE IS THE REASON THERE WAS NO WEEKLY WRAP-UP LAST WEEK.
There was a seven-day Social Media Protest with which I was involved. The protest was to be peaceful and the goal was to get information from the politicians in Norway about their thoughts on the child care system (the Barnevernet) there. Hundreds of voices worldwide joined the questioning. Most of it was done in a truthful manner. There are always going to be a few who get carried away.
The intention was to get answers for the Norwegian people. Of the political parties in Norway, the leaders of the protest choose 12. As I was only commenting on 4 or 5 of the party websites, I don’t know for sure. But it was my impression that not one political party was willing to make a statement about the Child Care System in Norway over social media. If you looked at the link above, we got one good response. It was from the Prime Minister of Norway, Erna Solberg. After she commented, a large number of protesters went to her site to make valid complaints, ask questions, and a few went to cause trouble. The result was that the Prime Minister’s site was shut down for a bit and the entire conversation was removed.
I wish that hadn’t happened. So many people voiced valid concerns about the welfare of the children in Norway. If you would like to know my blogging friend Chris Prunean’s take on the events, click on the link above.
It was necessary to write a Letter to Ms. Solveig Horne, Norwegian Minister of Children and Equality this week as my response to the reunification of the Bodnariu family in Norway. This is a start but the story is far from over. It is a joyful event that a family will get to live together again.
Here is a story you don’t want to miss. It is sad but one you should know about. It is the truth of what is happening in many places in Europe: Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and the U.K. besides Norway.

Last but certainly not least is Dan’s Other Men’s Brains. It’s an interesting short article about the treatment of scripture.
I wish you all a blessed week in the Lord.
