The Public Rebuke of a False Prophet

Some of my readers may or may not be aware of the past shenanigans of Todd Bentley at his 2008 "Outpouring" in Lakeland, Florida. For those interested, I would strongly advice watching this video in which Ingrid Schlueter discusses the matter with pastors John Sharpe and Ken Silva. They also discuss the occultic influence in 2008 in the "Revival"

Anyway, to give a brief background of the issue raised, was the fact that Bentley had divorced his wife, and married his mistress, his childrens' nanny. Despite the scandal, and his brief embarassment, he was restored.



Now, this second part are interviews with the people who publicly rebuked him, after these people were hustled out. In it, they discuss their concerns regarding Bentley, as well as their motives.

Paul Washer on False Teachers

To be honest, I had actually never really thought of this. However, I think Paul Washer has a very valid point.

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." (2nd Timothy 4:3-4)

In Romans 1, although this verse is addressing homosexuality, we are told 24"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen." (Romans 1:24-25)

Like I said, this is addressing the issue of homosexuality. But, I think it would be at least plausible that God would be consistent and give people over to false teachings.
