charismatic heresy

UNMASKING THE CHARISMATIC HERESY "For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths" 2 Timothy 4:3-4 - "False messiahs and false prophets will arise and will perform signs and wonders in order to mislead, if that were possible, the elect" Mark 13: 22 - "The smoke of Satan has entered the Church" Pope Paul VI

ARMOR OF GOD




Hey charismatics! Jesus he knows, Paul he knows; but who are you? (from Acts 19:15 – sort of)

Silly, silly charismatics taking the Bible literally! The lack of caution and discernment toward spiritual experiences is trademark of the Charismatic Renewal. The infantile custom of “putting on the armor of God” – I ask you, how could putting on an imagined armor (some go as far as gesturing putting on an armor) offer protection against evil spirits? Anyone who is fool enough to think that quoting Scripture like some magical incantation will protect him when he ventures into unknown perhaps dangerous territory is a FOOL!

The same is with charismatic “exorcism” before "Baptism in the Spirit" – this practice has no basis in reality. Exorcism goes far beyond the capacity of lay people and most ecclesiastics. Charismatic “exorcism” is as useful as wearing "armor of God pajamas".



“Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground. So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all (the) flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:13-17)

What is the armor of God? Hint: the explanation is given. The armor of God is courage and prayer. So praying for courage and prayer will not protect anybody from evil spirits during a prayer meeting or during the mock sacrament called “Baptism in the Spirit”.

About Me

I am a recovering charismatic and a Catholic Orthodox; observing orthopraxis to the best of my ability. I acknowledge what the Church REALLY DOES TEACH; opposed to what some people erroneously say the Church teaches. “Catholic Orthodoxy” is proposed "to conform to the Catholic faith as taught by the Magisterium of the Church. So an "orthodox" person is one who is FAITHFUL to the teachings of the Church, whereas a "heterodox" person is somebody who rejects ANY Catholic dogma. Orthopraxis means "Performing the correct actions". Catholic Orthodoxy is defined by the Catechism: it tells us what we have to TO BELIEVE. Catholic Orthopraxis is denoted by the Code of Canon Law: it spells out what we have TO DO. Because “Truth is not determined by a majority vote" -- Pope Benedict XVI.
