Good advice from Elizabeth Prata of The End Time. We agree for the reason that Lysa does not rightly handle God’s word and is not doctrinally sound, as you will see. In a previous blog post Prata asks“How can you learn discernment from a Bible teacher who does not possess it herself?” You can’t. Why? Because no […]

Visions, dreams, and revelations: Demon possession or genuine prophetic fits?
Elizabeth Prata delves into the latest trend in the visible Church that has God speaking to His people through visions, dreams, visits, i.e. extra-biblical revelation. Those who claim to hear directly from God say they’re Christians but the truth of the matter is that many of these people have fallen for the lies and half truths […]
Let’s stop supersizing “our dreams”
Elizabeth Prata reminds us that God “gives us His Spirit, His love, and grows us in holiness. That’s pretty big.” So why do some Christians desire more? “Must we have huge dreams too?” asks Prata. “Must we encourage each other by saying God has huge plans for our lives?” Well, no for the reason that […]

Elizabeth Prata lays out why Christian leaders must not be careless when it comes to their associations. As a Berean it’s up to you to check […]

How Does Satan Propagate False Doctrines? THIS Fast
Elizabeth Prata of The End Time warns of “IF : Gathering.” The title comes from the group’s motto, “If God is real, then what?” Prata reveals that, “The purpose statement on their IRS forms is to equip women by having them share their feelings about Bible passages posted online.” Elizabeth recently penned “If : Gathering: […]
Are all doctrines equal? Or are some primary and others secondary?
There is only one correct interpretation of Scripture. Yes, God intended ONE meaning. And there is NO such thing as a private interpretation. If someone comes up with an esoteric interpretation of Scripture and claims that it came to them from the Holy Spirit, no matter how convincing that person is…no matter how many books he/she […]
Two divorce cases: Summer White and Melissa Moore
In this piece Elizabeth Prata tackles biblical divorce. She reminds us that God hates divorce. And to divorce one’s spouse, except for the two reasons stated in the Bible, is a sin against God. (All sin is first and foremost against a holy God.) For clarity, Summer White is the daughter of noted apologist and […]
