Amen?įaithful Christians shun narcissistic, blasphemous teachers like Meyer and Osteen.
You’re doing it for yourself, because that’s what makes God happy. When you come to church, when you worship Him, you’re not doing it for God really.
Do good because God wants you to be happy. So, I want you to know this morning: Just do good for your own self. Moore has also endorsed Victoria Osteen, who made waves when she claimed this:
Jesus became the first born-again human being when he was suffering in hell.Jesus ceased being the Son of God when he died.Apart from her membership in the Word of Faith movement (a “name it and claim it” heretical group that believes every faithful Christian will enjoy good health and abundant financial prosperity), Meyer has given the world spectacular examples of biblical heresy. Moore has offered fellowship to and enthusiastic support for Joyce Meyer, whose doctrinal errors are legion. What the article doesn’t say is more telling than what it includes. Thus, it wasn’t so much that Moore failed her denomination instead, her denomination failed her. Following a tried-and-true formula, the author paints Moore as not only a moral champion but also a sexual abuse survivor whose voice was silenced because of her opposition to the President. The CT article did an impressive job of spinning the story so that Moore appeared to be a pariah in her denomination for opposing Donald Trump’s very public history of reprobate living. The author cites Kate Bowler, a historian at Duke Divinity School, who lionizes Moore and identifies her as “a deeply trusted voice across the liberal-conservative divide” whose departure has cost Southern Baptists “a powerful champion.” Beth Allison Barr, a history professor at Baylor, said that Moore’s decision to leave the SBC could prompt many women to go with her. The article describes Moore as an in-depth Bible teacher with unwavering loyalty to her denomination. Others-including many female speakers and bloggers-have more profound complaints, such as her claiming to receive revelation directly from God audibly and through visions, violating Scripture by teaching to mixed audiences (1 Timothy 2:12), using theologically imprecise language, promoting a defective view of salvation, and encouraging false teachers such as Joyce Meyer and the Osteens (among others). Her material is embarrassingly insubstantial and often relies on humor and emotional appeal without offering much insight into the text. She is often guilty of suspect hermeneutics, allegorizes Scripture, and molds the biblical text to fit the message she wants to communicate. Some detractors simply disagreed with her presentation style. But she has long been identified as a false teacher by many people from various denominations, including the Southern Baptists. Moore was a cash cow for her publisher, Lifeway Christian Resources. Her books sold like hotcakes, and she spoke to packed-out stadiums. It has long been something of an unsavory secret that Beth Moore was most definitely not a model Southern Baptist. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read these words. A recent article in Christianity Today describes the departure of Beth Moore from the Southern Baptist Convention. It begins, “For nearly three decades, Beth Moore has been the very model of a modern Southern Baptist.”
