Certain Christians are now choosing for themselves what to believe. As it is now, the Bible is not the final authority. Do we call this the falling away?
A popular Arkansas evangelist and singer,Timothy Rogers, is coming under fire after he recently declared at a funeral that Hell is a "fairytale" no different than Santa Claus. He made this controversial comment during a more than hour long presentation at a young man's funeral.
"'Is he (the young man who passed) going to Hell? Did he accept Jesus as his ...?' See, y'all have been sold a lie. You've been bamboozled. All that stuff is a fairytale. To believe in Hell means you have to believe in Santa Claus. I don't care how you cut [it]. Hell is an imaginary place. And I was told that if anything that does not have an explanation must be imagination," Rogers declared.
"So that's why you can talk about a Hell that you don't know nobody went to. For a billion years ain't nobody ever came back and told you that they were hot. For a billion years, ain't nobody ever came back and told you that they up in yonder singing around in a choir. I didn't come for you to agree with me. I know how to lay it out to y'all salted but I don't care. I didn't come for you to agree with me," Rogers said to approving hoots and shouts from the people who had packed the church to mourn.
In his sermon, Rogers explained that life is a gift freely given to man by God to "do whatever you want to do with your life."
He described the Bible as a manual on how to live life successfully. The choices made by individuals in their personal lives, he said, will determine whether they experienced heaven or hell.
"Hell is what you create," he said to shouts of "c'mon pastor."
"That's why when you read the Old Testament, Hell wasn't under the earth. When you read the Old Testament, Hell was on the earth. When you read the Old Testament, Heaven wasn't beyond the sky, when you read the Old Testament, Heaven was in the Garden of Eden. Heaven was Canaan," he said.
"What I came to tell you is you're waiting to go to Hell and you went and turned your life into a living hell. Why? Because you have become a worshiper of death."
He urged people to turn to the Bible to learn how to live better instead of worrying about the illusion of Heaven and Hell.
"God didn't give you a Bible to send you to Heaven or Hell. He gave you a Bible to give you instructions. You can either make your life heaven or you can make your life hell. Look at your neighbor and say 'use the instructions,'" he screamed.
"What does the instructions say about your very life? The instructions says 'Love the Lord your God and it says 'love your neighbor.' You know what it's called? It's called doing good," he continued.
"I don't believe in a lot of stuff that church gave me. I quit. Matter of fact, I don't want church. I want good. I don't want to do church, I want to do good because everybody that doing church, ain't doing good," he said. "Most folk who doing good don't even go to church."
He explained that the youth today are simply acting out "vain imaginations" and publicly repented for his role in the church system that feeds fantasy to the masses.
"Let me publicly repent. Let me do something that I know half of these ladies and ... would never have the heart to do. That is to apologize to a generation we've misused and taken advantage of," he said to applause.
Slamming Roger's erroneous message, another pastor Matthew said,
"The erroneous teaching of Pastor Tim Rogers (whom I do not know personally, but am praying for fervently) proves the necessity of discipleship and sound doctrine in our times. The description of hell (subsequently heaven) as fairy tale, is both a dangerous, deadly and demonic doctrine designed by Satan to steal the souls of men who live with no fear of judgement. The counter for this is anointed sound Biblical doctrine. (1 Tim. 4; 2 Tim. 4:2-5),"
Rogers, 38, leads the Prince of Peace church, Blytheville.
*This man is preaching a dangerous false doctrine! And to think he's been a pastor of over 20 years. Dear Lord!
For you to see how vulnerable some Christians are and how ignorant they are of God's Word, they are applauding the man because he is literally telling them what they want to hear. Oh dear!

They are plenty, the Freezez of this world. Satan is working over hard these days churning out his disciples everywhere giving them the anointing to distort the truth in the word of God. When Freeze started with his tithing thing I thought he was coming from the position of a real child of the most high God, but now .....I think I know better than to believe anything he writes again in the name of preaching.
