This is what I’m working on for the next edition of the magazine. The intro page reads as below:

This edition of The Rogue Prophet Magazine will focus on the top ten false doctrines in the church. But does anyone really care? The false teachers hate legitimate instruction or counsel. They say that a prophet should encourage more than warn, caution or rebuke. Really? Which Biblical prophet(s) encouraged false teachers? A prophet must deliver an unfiltered message from the Lord. If the receiver doesn’t like the message from God, they should take it up with Him.

Satan has had his way in the churches for generations through manipulated interpretations of the Scriptures, one-verse theologies, and giving the weak-willed and half-hearted exactly what they want to hear. Those false doctrines have been handed down and continually taught seemingly without pause to consult the Lord directly. Oh yes, that’s evidently because the Lord is mute, can only make His will known through the pages of a 2,000-year-old book, and is only allowed to be as sweet as sugar. (That was sarcasm for those who didn’t hear it in my tone.)

So how do I know that I’m not the one believing the false doctrines? That’s a good question. One which I hope that you are asking yourself. Throughout the pages of this magazine, we’re going to explore exactly that. We must center ourselves over the truth that as God’s elect we should expect to hear God’s voice in prayer. We must learn directly from Him. While I will use Scriptures to prove the true doctrines and debunk the false ones, it is each person’s responsibility to know God and ask for wisdom that only He can give. I hope that you are willing to confront any false teaching that you have believed so that the next generation doesn’t receive those distortions into their foundational building blocks.

“For the time will come when people 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.” (2 Timothy 4:3 NIV)

Just to be clear, these truths are not being brought to dishearten pastors who may have previously unintentionally taught falsely. I think that some can have the right heart even with wrong theology. God looks at the heart, but He also sends messengers to correct wrong doctrines. Again, I’m saying that it’s best to hear God for yourself, but if you aren’t trained and anointed to do that, then you must question your own understanding.

What lie might the devil have planted into your spiritual upbringing that has darkly colored the light that you were meant to shine for your family, community, country and for the nations? Maybe God has held you back simply because you don’t yet know truth. Are you willing to discuss your theologies with God, or will you dismiss this study as meant for someone else? You know the saying …    “stupid people don’t know that they’re stupid.”
