Funny you mention Rick Joyner. I've never heard of him and about 10 minutes before I saw this post I watched a video on his church.
This video looks more like demon possession more than anything. It's very tribal and looks more like voodoo witchcraft.

As with anything, it is easy to make something to look like something else. It is easy to take things out of context and make them seem to be heretical, or even blashphemous. I will say that Rick Joiner if anything depends upon the bible than most here. Do not judge by this alone. I do not defend many people, and I have not read anything of his in over 10 years, but I have owned and given away over 30 copies of the Final Quest.

Oh well, if someone is not maligned, then they are not following Jesus.

I think that if this was titled "the greatest threat to western Christianity" it would be more accurate. The church in Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America shouldn't be thrown into the same bag as us.

I watched the video just now and it sent chills down my spine... but you have a point. Take in everything that is said but do not accept it until you have properly discerned.

I watched it too, it had nothing beneficial in it at all.
They are seeking the hand of God and not His face, looking for a quick fix.

Wow, i'm surprised anyone other than myself was aware of that.
But those Zionists that are a threat are fake Zionists but very dangerous to the entire world.

The threat to Christians according to the New Testament is anti-christs! Its quite simple, the Bible is very clear.

"And every spirit that confesseth not the Jesus Christ came in the flesh is not of God; and this IS the spirit of the anti-christ, whereof you heard that it would come, even now it is in the world." 1 John 4:3

The most powerful sect of anti-christs in the world today are known as Zionists Jews, they fit the very definition that John gives throughout his letter as to what an antichrist is. And they are very rich and powerfu,l being the bankers of the world, so logic would declare that Zionists Usury Bankers are the greatest threat to Christianity.

Now, how Jesus treated such people in His day was with a big 'ol bullwhip!

If we observe the wild animal for more than a day, we see that it will eventually be ill-content with its primary habitat and will seek out another, especially if this animal is a predator seeking new prey.

Well there atheist for the most part, political Zionists, and many false christians along with the false jews are practioners of Zionism, for worldly gain, they profess knowledge of God, but they are liars, for worldly gain, they are decieved by Satan, you will know them by their fruit.

In its new habitat, the predator even now has already begun to stalk its new prey, growling deep in the back of its throat in a way its kind shouldn't growl, showing it to be an animal departing from the ways its kind should follow.

I Think the biggest threat to chritianity is the fact that there is no clear definition of what a christian is and how they should live. Everyone has their own idea of what it is. Everyone thinks they are a true christian while others will have a different opinion. Just look at how many different sects there are of christianity. The differences of opinion are great enough to start a whole different sect.
Also I think that coming up with phrases that are not biblical is pretty harmful to your religion. The other day I had a girl try to tell me that a baby can sin even while in the womb. This is not biblical nor, does it in anyway sound sane. But this is only one example of non biblical teachings I have heard.

Atheist are not a threat to christianity. We only want it kept in the home and church where it belongs. I can't remember the last time I had an atheist come knocking on my door to discuss atheism. Can you?

A little old lady knocking on my door with a bible is not a threat to me, however a international, atheist ,antichristian nuclear armed banking elite of psycho slave merchants from Babylon rebuilt, seeking to conquer the world and enslave it, well now that is a threat to me, and all Christians, if you know what I mean?

btw, Navy, Cup is a racist nut. Just forewarning. If you want sufficient proof, just look at that last post and pretty much the whole 3rd Temple thread.

Not only is Cup a racist nut, he's a racist nut immune from scorn from the site's moderators. (Which everyone knows is the best kind.)

I am not a murderer. You and Cup may be hostile to those who disagree with you, but as for me, I just pity you. May G-d have mercy on your souls.
