"WE AREN'T READY YET" EPISODE 1 "MORE LIES FROM LINDELL"

First in a series called "WE AREN'T READY YET". This video will examine a 2 part sermon series by John Lindell of James River Church that has so many lies, yes lies, that it takes 2 episodes to cover most of them! Seriously, I've never heard anything like this.

If this pastor of one of the largest churches in the largest Pentecostal denomination in the world does this....who else is doing this? And why are people putting up with this?

Here are just a few of the lies debunked in this series:
1. ISAAC WAS 100 YEARS OLD: WRONG HE WAS 137
2. ISAAC THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO DIE: WRONG HE DID NOT KNOW THE DAY OF HIS DEATH
3. ISAAC WAS SPIRITUALLY BLIND: WRONG HE CORRECTLY INSTRUCTED JACOB TO SEEK A WIFE FROM LABAN’S HOUSE – NOT A CAANANITE
4. ANY TIME THE BIBLE MENTIONS PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC IT’S INDICATIVE OF SPIRITUAL CONDITION: WRONG MANY PROOF EXAMPLES INCLUDING I KINGS 14:4-6
5. THE FIRST TIME THE BIBLE MENTIONS “OPEN HEAVEN” IS GENESIS 28: WRONG. GENESIS 28 NEVER MENTION “OPEN HEAVEN” AND LINDELL NEVER DEFINES WHAT HE MEANS BY “OPEN HEAVEN”
6. JACOB HAD A VISION: WRONG. HE DREAMED A DREAM
7. GOD IS STANDING OVER JACOB: WRONG. GOD WAS AT THE TOP OF THE LADDER
8. THE TIME JACOB SPENT WITH LABAN WAS “27 YEARS OF DARKNESS”: WRONG THE LORD WAS WITH JACOB AND BLESSED HIM IN SPITE OF LABAN’S DISHONESTY GEN 31.12 ,32.10
9. JACOB ON HIS WEDDNG NIGHT IS DRUNK: WRONG. BIBLE NEVER SAYS THAT
10. ESAU IS COMING WITH 400 ARMED MEN: WRONG. BIBLE NEVER SAYS THEY WERE ARMED
11. ANY TIME THE BIBLE MENTIONS SKY, OR NIGHT OR DARKNESS IT’S INDICATIVE OF WHAT’S GOING ON IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE: WRONG. GENESIS 15, LUKE 2, MATTHEW 2, LUKE 6
12. JACOB ENCOUNTERS ANGELS, NAMES THE PLACE MAHANEIM AND JUST MOVES ON: WRONG. HE CAMPED THERE AND PRAYED THERE
13. JACOB’S REACTION TO THE DREAM (NOT VISION) IS UNTHINKABLE. WRONG. GOD WOULD REFER TO HIS REACTION AS “MADE A SOLEMN VOW TO ME”
14. “THE PLACE WILL BE CALLED BETHEL BUT THE BIBLE DOESN’T CALL IT THAT BECAUSE THE WRITER WANTS TO GIVE YOU A SENSE”: WRONG. IT WASN’T CALLED BETHEL BECAUSE JACOB HADN’T NAMED IT BETHEL YET
15. THE “SENSE” THE BIBLE WRITER WANTS TO GIVE IS JACOB IS IN “NOWHERE’SVILLE”: WRONG. IT WAS CALLED THE CITY OF LUZ
16. “YOU’VE NEVER ACCEPTED MY ABILITY TO BRING MY WILL TO PASS IN YOUR LIFE JACOB!” WRONG. GENESIS 32.10
17. THE HEBREW LANGUAGE IS NOT A “WORDY” LANGUAGE: WRONG. THE HEBREW LANGUAGE IS MADE OF WORDS
18. YOU COULD PUT HIS FAITH IN A THIMBLE: WRONG. “HIS FAITH” ALLOWED HIM TO NAME A PLACE BY A NAME GOD WOULD LATER USE, MAKE A SOLEMN VOW, ANNOINT A PILLAR
19. WHEN WE FIND JACOB IN GENESIS 28 “HIS LIFE IS FALLING APART”: WRONG. HE HAD THE BIRTHRIGHT, THE BLESSING, AND WAS OBEYING HIS FATHER’S INSTRUCTION
20. “I’M GIVING YOU THE LAND BECAUSE YOU ARE PENNILESS”: WRONG. THE LAND WAS PART OF THE COVENANT PROMISE MADE TO ABRAHAM AND HIS DESCENDANTS AND THE REITERATION OF THIS PROMISE TO JACOB WOULD HAVE NO EFFECT ON HIS PENNILESS STATE.
21. IT WASN’T UNTIL AFTER THE WRESTLING THAT JACOB EVER INITIATED ANYTHING WITH GOD: WRONG. HE ANOINTED THE STONE, HE MADE A VOW, HE NAMED THE PLACE BETHEL, HE OFFERED A SACRIFICE BEFORE LEAVING FOR CAANAN, HE PRAYED COVENENTAL PRAYER AFTER MEETING THE ANGELS AT MAHANAIM AND HE NAMED THE PLACE MAHANAIM
THE CALL TO ACTION IN THIS MESSAGE IS FOR THE LISTENER TO STOP EVERYTHING AND DEMAND A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE WITH GOD. TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO DEMAND A SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY HAVEN’T READ THEIR BIBLE ENOUGH TO SPOT THE NUMEROUS LIES JUST TOLD THEM IS SPIRITUALLY DANGEROUS.
