Question: What Do You Think About Bishop T.D. Jake’s Do You Think He Is A False Minister?
Donald Bohanon: Let me see…He rejects the Bible’s clear instruction for obeying God’s doctrine which is based on keeping the ten commandments and the word of God as a whole. And of which God says you don’t have the father or the son if you don’t follow or obey it… 2 John 9-11.
He also promotes the false, unbiblical, soul-destroying doctrine of salvation by grace through faith only, which promotes and encourages hypocrisy and rebellion against the ten commandments and the word of God as a whole…Related Link. He promotes tolerance and acceptance of abominable sins such as homosexuality, bisexuality, lesbianism, etc..Isaiah 5:20-25.
Something that God’s word strongly rejects and says never to tolerate or associate with lest you be drawn into it (and as a society, you will be) to your destruction.
Encouraging separation can be a good thing under the right circumstances. This is what God in his love and wisdom understood when instructing Israel not to mingle with surrounding wicked tribes. Instruction they didn’t heed, which ultimately resulted in them following the same sick practices of child sacrifice, sexual perversions, etc, that those surrounding wicked nations practiced, which eventually led to their destruction.
This is what normally happens when you associate with individuals who engage in questionable and very dangerous, corrupting, and destructive behavior. You eventually begin to be influenced by the behavior and ultimately begin to practice it to your own detriment and destruction. No matter how corrupting, perverse, and destructive it is.
This has historically been proven and is the case, and is further supported by reputable, reliable, unbiased studies regarding social behavior. And this is what these perverse groups, ie, homosexuals and lesbians, etc, understand. Association will eventually lead to participation.
Tolerance leads to acceptance. Acceptance leads to association. Association then leads to participation. And participation leads to destruction. That’s why they’re so aggressively promoting the call for tolerance, association, inclusion, and acceptance. Because they understand tolerance eventually works its way into full-blown participation. Which is and has always been their goal. Tolerance of evil, perverted, physically and spiritually destructive behavior is never a good thing, but quite the opposite.
We are to wholeheartedly accept and embrace people from all backgrounds, races, and nationalities, etc. But only as they completely separate themselves from very dangerous and destructive sinful behavior that’s contrary to God and his word. Lest we ourselves be drawn into that very same behavior to our destruction and detriment…1 Corinthians 10:20-22, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Ephesians 5:10-13. This is what the Bible commands. Love the individual, but hate and reject the sin/destructive behavior that’s contrary to God and his word.
Isaiah 5:20-25
King James Version (KJV)
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
James 3:1
King James Version (KJV)
3 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 John 9-11
King James Version (KJV)
9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
Romans 16:17-18
King James Version (KJV)
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
1 Corinthians 10:20-21
King James Version (KJV)
20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.
2 Corinthians 6:15-18
King James Version (KJV)
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Ephesians 5:10-13
King James Version (KJV)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Based on his stance and position on these issues, not to mention the many rumors surrounding his own secret behavior, which may be true based on his suspect mannerisms and position regarding these issues, among other things.
I don’t think, I know without a shadow of a doubt he is a false representative of Christ in every sense of the word. He’s doing much more harm than good by promoting the false, soul-destroying doctrine of salvation by grace through faith, and his liberal false form of Christianity. And to follow his counsel in regard to these issues will most certainly lead to physical and spiritual destruction when judged, as well as the destruction of the nation. He is a false minister through and through. He’s actually doing Satan’s work under the deceptive cloak of false love.
God knows who he is and a day of reckoning is coming. The truth will be exposed in the judgment. And to misrepresent God and his word and bear false witness against God’s true servants carries with it serious consequences… 2 Thessalonians 1:6-9, Galatians 5:10, Galatians 5:24, 2 Peter 2:1-3, James 3:1, Jude 14-15. The truth of the matter is he shouldn’t be teaching because he doesn’t know or understand the Bible and he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
And what he teaches is going to cost millions of people their physical and spiritual lives for following it because of the disobedience and hypocrisy it produces. To the untrained eye, someone who doesn’t know the word of God may think he’s a good teacher and that he teaches line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, and there a little. But someone who knows the word of God and its requirements knows that is simply not the case at all.
And I would personally wholeheartedly reject his counsel in relation to the things that pertain to God and what he requires and desires, loves and hates, likes or dislikes. Or his thoughts about true servants of God that he doesn’t know at all and knows nothing at all about. And I’m convinced he’s not the man he portrays himself to be.
In other words, he’s not who you think he is. He’s a liar and a deceiver, who speaks well and deceives people by good words and fair speeches…Romans 16:17-18. He teaches lies contrary to the word of God to appease the people so as not to offend anyone and to keep the money flowing in. As do many of his colleagues and contemporaries.
But you can’t serve God and not offend anyone because the truth will always hurt and offend. That’s actually a decision you have to make when serving God, do you want to please men or is your focus on pleasing God? If your focus is on speaking lies to please men and to appear righteous in their eyes, and make more money you need to quickly find another profession. As he should.
Some may say he and other ministers who teach false doctrines give to the poor, etc. But the problem is they keep much more than they give. I think it’s safe to say, and I have also read reports that suggest charities of the sort keep upwards of 90% of the funds that are raised and only disperse about 10% to those in need. But in reality, it should be the other way around 90% should be given to the poor and 10% or so should be kept to pay expenses and salaries.
That’s one of the reasons most of these ministers are not transparent about their earnings and how those earnings are dispersed. But yes he is a false representative of Christ/false minister who is doing much more harm than good based on the biblically contrasting, dangerous and destructive, information he’s teaching and disseminating. He’s essentially creating sinful, rebellious hypocrites, based on the false and damaging doctrine, the information and the false liberal form of Christianity he teaches which promotes and encourages hypocrisy and rebellion against the ten commandments and the Bible. And hypocrisy results in destruction as well…Job 27:8.
I have actually met a few members of the Potters House while residing in the state for a period of time, because where I worked many of them worked also. We would regularly discuss the Bible and what stood out to me was their complete ignorance of scripture and the importance of keeping God’s ten commandments and the word of God as a whole.
They were more focused on having a good time at church and being dressed sharp, and speaking about the importance of doing so, as opposed to thoroughly understanding and learning God’s word and living by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. As God instructs his followers to do Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4. What also stood out to me was the fact that quite a few of the men came across as bisexual or homosexual. And I came to this conclusion by observing their mannerisms and other things from a distance.
I would speak to a few of the members on occasion as they approached me about Bible matters and would always find myself giving them an education about true Bible worship and what’s required to be considered righteous in God’s eyes. Shaming or making them feel uncomfortable wasn’t something that I intentionally set out to do, but it would just happen naturally as I expounded on the facts of God’s word.
Their ignorance and lack of biblical knowledge would immediately shine through and they would obviously feel uncomfortable, exposed, and misinformed. Over time I would notice them watching me intently from a distance looking for a chance or reason to point the finger and condemn.
But they couldn’t find anything as it related to me keeping the ten commandments. I’m sure they were probably looking to see if I would eventually engage in fornication by chasing women, etc. But I never engaged in it as I would do in the past because those days were long gone and behind me. Psalms 35:21.
After a while, they would keep their distance for fear of being exposed as hypocrites, as I outlined what was instructed and commanded in God’s word. They felt very threatened by me because I would expose their blatant hypocrisy and sinful behavior simply by emphasizing what God’s requirements were.
I would expose their ignorance and lack of Bible knowledge with the truth. Something they obviously weren’t being taught at the Potters House. But I’m sure that’s part of T.D. Jakes hustle. Keep them ignorant about what’s really outlined in scripture and revelation of the truth won’t be possible, and in turn, no mass exodus from his church could or would occur.
A few had invited me to the Potters House on a few occasions but I would always decline. Because I knew as far back as then it wasn’t God’s church based on what was clearly outlined in God’s word. The Bible says if false ministers had stood in God’s counsel and heard his words they would be causing his people to depart from their evil. Jeremiah 23:21-22.
The Potters House appeared to be doing just the opposite, encouraging its members to actually sin freely and openly in defiance of the ten commandments and the word of God as a whole. The members appear to be focused on worshipping and following the man as opposed to worshipping and following God. Bishop T.D. Jakes in actuality is a minister of Satan masquerading as an Apostle of Christ based on the false biblically contradicting doctrine he teaches and the rebellion and hypocrisy he encourages…Romans 16:17-18. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.God’s own words.
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
King James Version (KJV)
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Peter 2:1-3
King James Version (KJV)
2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
