Q.   What’s wrong with me doing Yoga unto the Lord? A.   A Hindu mystic and a Yoga Master admit that Yoga is not in any way compatible with Christian Beliefs; their article is available upon request. God’s Word is full of His rejection of His people blending their worship of Him with pagan practices like Hinduism.  Yoga and Christianity are not compatible! Hollywood’s Julia Roberts features in ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ – a glowing cinematic portrayal of a sanitised, Americanised version of Hinduism.…

Q. To me The Simpsons are really funny but one of the brethren told me it’s bad and I shouldn’t watch them. What do you think? A. The Simpsons Movie, a spin-off of the Simpsons sitcom, grossed $72 million in its first weekend. The Simpsons animated sitcom is the longest running sitcom in US television history and will soon start its 19th season in the States. Time magazine named it the 20th century’s best television series, and in 2000 it…

Q.    There’s much controversy about The Shack. I’ve read it and am totally confused; it’s beautiful but strange. I worry that it’s not OK! A.   Grains of Poison in The ShackThere are millions of references to The Shack on the Internet (try Google) so we’ll not add another commentary. We don’t advocate reading the novel as it contains suggestions of blatant error if not downright false doctrine. If you knew that a pie had grains of strychnine in it, which part…

Q.    The Nigerian Church disaster has revealed some strange doings, if not doctrines, under TB Joshua. With SCOAN followings growing rapidly in Africa, and here at home, what are your views on this popular movement? A.   Over the years, TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, has enjoyed remarkable success as tens of thousands have gathered from all over Africa, and indeed, the world, to their Lagos Headquarters for the ‘Prophet’s’ teaching and especially for the miraculous signs and wonders…

Q.   Oprah Winfrey doesn’t believe in Hell. Is she right? A.   No, sadly, Oprah is wrong, as Eternity will reveal – but then it will be too late, since you have to decide for or against Christ NOW! Jesus preached about Hell more than anyone in the Bible. His words dripped with love but He didn’t soft-pedal when addressing the eternal consequence of sin. Beginning His ministry He read from Isa 61:2 announcing that He had come not only to “proclaim the…

Q.   The Noah film is drawing a lot of interest. It’s a bit off key but would you suggest watching it or not? A.   I’ve not seen the movie, nor read a great deal about it. However, some who have seen it tell that: Fallen angels, Watchers, help humans banished from the Garden of Eden; Methuselah gives Noah seed from Eden to grow a forest in seconds; Noah’s family and the Watchers cut the trees to build the Ark; The animals in…

Q.   I read an article on the web about “Angelic Orbs” and found it quite interesting. Are these supernatural lights that are appearing in some meetings good or evil? A.   We checked the article mentioned and found it well presented and sincere. The person who wrote it appears to love the Lord truly. Without having been there, it would be dangerous, if not presumptuous, for anyone to pronounce upon such manifestations. At best we offer a few guidelines: Check the nature of…

Q.    I know you don’t support Halloween. But aren’t you going overboard and becoming too narrow minded? Why can’t our children enjoy some harmless fun that we all know is just fantasy? A.   ‘Everybody’s doing it; it must be OK!’ seems to be your stance. But, far from ‘harmless,’ Halloween is incredibly evil and dangerous. Here are some facts to consider: Halloween originated among the ancient Celts of Europe and was called the festival of “Samhain” or “All Hallows Tide”. It…

Q.    Should Christians Participate in Halloween? A.   Halloween, October 31st here are guidelines for next year. Halloween, with strong roots in paganism, is closely connected with satanic worship. Its celebration generally glorifies dark things of this world, rather than the light of Jesus Christ, the Truth.Have you noticed how costumes and masks are getting generally more bloody, gory, and depraved each year? Unfortunately, the gruesome and grotesque, and the occult, are increasingly glorified in society, not only on Halloween, but throughout the year in horror movies…

Q.    I find much benefit in practising Yoga, despite Christian critics decrying it. Can it not be made acceptable if one kept one’s mind focussed on the Lord? A.    This subject crops up regularly which suggests it has a strong appeal to many sincere people. We believe this is a deception used by Satan to draw people away from the Lord. Interestingly, your question comes at a time when we have just received the article appended below, and mention that…

Q.    I am under black magic, curses and spells; how can I escape? A.   Some make light of your suggestion but we don’t. Black magic, spells and curses are very real and come from demonic activity – the work of your enemy, Satan. And if he gets a hold, he holds on tight! Jesus Christ overcame the devil and He alone can set you free. However, if you turn to Him only for the curses and spells to be broken, that…
