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

BOGUS CLAIMS




“…strive eagerly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues”

One of the most controversial Bible passages has to be 1Corinthians 14:39.

Charismatics often ram this passage down our throats as some type of proof legitimizing charismatic theology. “See, Paul said this and Paul said that.” Yes, Paul said many things, including that women should not speak in church and that they ought to cover their heads. Do charismatics follow Paul to the letter? Of course not! Most of them are women, their “prophets” are all women, they are all vocal and they most certainly don’t wear head covering to church. So the next time a charismatic busybody brings up what Paul said, be sure to remind them of some of the things that Paul said. ;-)

The problem is not what Paul said, as he was quite correct, the Holy Spirit should not be discouraged. After all, Paul identified prophecy and speaking in tongues as gifts of the Holy Spirit. Except that prophecy is a real gift and has NOTHING in common with the self delusions coming out of prayer meeting prophets. The same with biblical tongues, it has nothing in common with the jibber jabber at charismatic prayer meetings.

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.
