The worldview of many who attend church is largely shaped by outside influences through a sort of intellectual osmosis. Information comes largely unfiltered through books, magazines, radio, television, social media, and peer groups. Pastors often have limited opportunity to influence the worldview and biblical literacy of the sheep they are attempting to shepherd. For example, the late Gwen Shamblin, who was in over 60,000 churches through her Weigh Down Workshop, was published by Thomas Nelson and promoted by Christian media despite teaching salvation by works and denying the deity of Christ and the Trinity. The Enneagram was birthed in the occult and is embraced now by millions of Christians. The question is: how can evangelical media promote a biblical worldview and avoid aiding in the spread of false teaching unintentionally?

ping to occult devices, occult philosophy, and other heresies in the church
It doesn’t get any more basic that that. If they don’t have those issues right, it probably doesn’t matter what else they may have right.
Exactly. A little swamp water added to a clear glass of water thoroughly taints the water.
Viewed entire video.
Be not deceived the falling away has begun.
When you say “the Church”, may we presume that you’re not referring to Holy Mother Church?
Any thoughts?
It is not me who said 'the church' but the makers of the video.
Sorry...not willing to click through to the video without more information about why and how the makers of the video are using the term “the Church”.
They appear to be using it to describe something other than Holy Mother Church.
When you use the term “the church”, to what are you referring?
Yes. Why did you post this?
If the Alb fits....
Very well.
This thread is and will be coming down to Roman Catholicism as a dividing line. Best one declares view immediately, as the skirmishes have begun.
So, declare.
This ain’t nothing. I know evangelicals who think the Ten Commandments were abolished at the cross. They actually don’t believe in the Ten Commamdments anymore all because of the Sabbath. It’s bizarre. They saw Jesus fulfilled the law, which means he destroyed it.
But then they turn around have their own laws against like Abortion and homosexuality, etc. It’s a bizarre relatively new theology. Crazy......
I have never heard of Gwen Shamblin or the Enneagram before.
Glad I hadn’t.
The terminology used:
...salvation by works...
...evangelical media...
...a biblical worldview...
marks the source as antithetical to “the Church” (meaning Holy Mother Church).
Surely you agree?
Sounds like you are making up a false strawman. Never have heard that from evangelicals.
It’s true. They all say it (in one way or another).
False teachings like:
The Secret Rapture?
Once Saved, Always Saved?
Once Judged, Always Judged?
God’s moral law nailed to the cross?
The Sabbath was Ceremonial/a Shadow?
If you are covered by Grace, no need to keep God’s law, which doesn’t apply to Christians anyway?
ETC...
