I saw a post on Twitter today, a video clip of functional socialists in Chicago decrying Walmart's recent decision to shutter four unprofitable stores in high-crime low-income neighborhoods throughout the city. I also saw a response to the tweet: "Who will we steal...
Throughout my years, I have unfortunately witnessed countless religious groups with distorted beliefs and cult-like tendencies arise as ferocious attack dogs, intent on ripping apart the very body of Christ. These self-proclaimed prophets of apostasy often come in...
A recent letter from Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary, to FBI Director Christopher Wray has raised concerns over the FBI's handling of domestic violent extremism investigations against Catholic Americans and its impact on First...
During the early days of Christianity, the fledgling Church faced numerous obstacles and disagreements over its teachings and doctrines. Much of the professing Church found itself at odds over how to interpret scripture and understand doctrine, eventually giving rise...
Last year, The Dissenter reported on the newly-proposed partnership between the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board (NAMB) and a heretical “evangelism” ministry called He Gets Us. He Gets Us, as we demonstrated, is not only a gay-affirming...
It's bad enough that the queer community has created a movement within their movement that they dare to label Christianity, a movement that not only seeks to normalize, but also to glorify sicj grotesque sex acts that would even have the assailants at Sodom and...
One has to ask the question: why is the LGBTQ industry so hell-bent on targeting children? Why is LEGO holding a queer festival in its stores to promote sexual deviancy to children who would otherwise not even think about such things?To be clear, the LGBTQ movement...
The question has been posed: can someone be saved while rejecting a literal interpretation of the creation account in Genesis? The answer to this question is not as straightforward as some may hope, and as much as I hate to use the word "nuance," there is some nuance...
The sexual revolution is squarely in the hands of the LGBTQ movement and those that support it. And the fact that a large media company like Netflix can produce and broadcast a show that glorifies the sexualization of children and get away with it speaks volumes about...
In many modern churches, the true essence of divine grace and mercy has been distorted and diluted, resulting in a skewed understanding of the transformative power of God's love. With their plush pews, rainbow-splattered banners, and messages of unconditional...
The great Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon once predicted that “a time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats!” He was correct, and that time is now. In recent years, there has been an insidious but...
The following rebuke was written by Ken Ham in a post on Twitter: Watch the short video clip attached of Andy Stanley. He is a teacher with a large flock in Georgia. How should we respond to what he is teaching in this clip? God’s Word has a severe warning for those...
Before his departure, Russell Moore was arguably the most polarizing figure in the Southern Baptist Convention, notorious for his extreme leftist activism and controversial stances on numerous issues. From his soft support of homosexuality to his advocacy for open...
I don’t typically write about political or corporate issues unless they somehow relate to the Church. So I am writing about this because I believe that it affects Christians and is demonstrative of the judgment of God on a nation that has abandoned a Christian...
No one denies, disagrees, disputes, or debates that we are here; but how did we get here and what is the origin of the universe? Those questions have been asked by mankind since the beginning of time. I will provide the answer today! There are only four possibilities...
Syncretism often occurs when two or more cultures or religions come into contact, leading to the blending of their spiritual beliefs, rituals, and symbols. This can result in a unique fusion of religious ideas and practices. There are two major religions in the world...
In the beginning was the Word—and that Word has not wavered, faltered, or faded. It has thundered through the centuries with clarity and conviction, anchoring the Church in every age, standing immovable against the rising tide of heresies, human philosophies, and...
Believers in Christ's atonement are now in declared religious union with those who make light of it; believers in Holy Scripture are in confederacy with those who deny plenary inspiration; those who hold evangelical doctrine are in open alliance with those who call...
Throughout the annals of history, no religious figure has endured the relentless scrutiny and targeted attacks quite like Jesus Christ. As the central figure of Christianity, Jesus has faced unyielding opposition from various quarters, both in ancient times and in our...
There was a man named Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, who was born of the Virgin Mary in the city of Bethlehem, as it is written: "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given" (Isaiah 9:6). He was called Emmanuel, which means "God with us" (Matthew 1:23), and...

If you think the Democratic Communist regime in America isn't real, think again. The Democrats have a plan, and, if successfully taking the White House, will waste no time implementing it. Their plan is to force conservatives into forced-labor concentration camps and...
If you need more proof that the "woke" racial movement is nothing more than a farce to create the appearance of a racial equity gap so that leftists can install a socialist government, look no further than one Washington school district. North Thurston Public Schools,...
Jerry Falwell, Jr. promoted the Gospel openly and has mocked it privately. He is mocking it again publicly by suing the institution his father founded. Jerry Jr. led Liberty University in a laudable way at a million-dollar annual salary while the national...
Yesterday was Election Day, 2020. Last night, hundreds of protesters marched through Washington, D.C. with a sign demanding, “Burn down the American Plantation.” The crowd chanted, “F*ck Trump. F*ck Biden. No more presidents.” The mob wants a general revolution, not a...

In this episode, I do a follow up on Piper’s voting article in light of his statement that he will not vote for Trump or Biden which is effectively a waste of time. Why vote at all? The point of the riposte is to counter the claim that Piper was not targeting Trump. I...
One of the most baffling epidemics plaguing the Christian Church in our modern times is the push to move the Church away from traditional biblical conservatism and closer to the center-left. Several prominent Evangelical pastors and theologians have shifted toward...

Prior to my arrival to Bob Jones University, I made sure I knew—to the best of my knowledge—what exactly I was getting into with the education system there. From the school’s history with its’ ban on interracial dating to even the George Bush visits, I had to be very...
In response to the latest adaptive stances of the Southern Baptist Convention, let it be known that this whole article is not about demonization—to my knowledge, racism can and should be addressed as such because various forms of these behaviors exist, which are not...
Up to the point where I began college days at Bob Jones University, Chik-fil-a was a name scarcely anyone has even ever even heard of. For residents of my home state of Connecticut, practically nobody would even think of this restaurant because such was not a...
If anyone would ask me how would I feel about President Trump’s pro-life stances from a potential voter in the 2016 election, one could be rest assured that I would remain fairly hesitant on the subject overall—in fact, my feelings about the candidate would have been...
Well, that’s not precisely true because if a church receives tax dollars, it is obligated to give an account for the use of that money and slavishly obey the government’s demands. If a church takes its currency, they must accept state control. With nickels go nooses....

Evangelical Christians voting for Biden is as strange as a five-hundred-pound girl doing a backflip or an orangutan doing a tap dance. But then Evangelicals have been leaning left for decades since they made their break with biblical reliability. And a rule of life...
The woke movement in the Evangelical Church has taken a nosedive directly into the muck and mire of leftist and progressive thought. Evangelicalism no longer stands apart from the world, but is now neck-deep into the same progressive garbage the world is part of....
Some of the stupidest, most asinine anti-Christian rhetoric comes out of the progressive wing of Christianity, also known as The Gospel Coalition. The Gospel Coalition is a loosely-affiliated network of progressive Evangelicals that serve to undermine both the...
It’s just so ridiculously stupid that these people — who NAR Apostle Michael Brown continues to defend — have any kind of voice at all. Repeatedly, they prophesy falsely, which makes them false prophets, and they and teach falsely, which makes them false teachers. Why...

One of the primary ways Satan deceives people is to obfuscate the truth by mixing a little bit of it with lies. The Scriptures speak to us clearly and warn us to be on the lookout for people who, like Satan, would masquerade as truth-bearers (2 Corinthians 11:13-15)...
As I've written and pressed on this matter repeatedly, voting Democrat is a very likely indicator that one has not been born again. The argument goes: God isn’t a Democrat or a Republican, so it doesn’t really matter. Well, quite frankly, that’s just stupid. No...
