I wanted to comment on the stuff about Sheila Broughton. I have to say that I am a bit suprised that you would wholeheartedly endorse her the way you have. I think to begin with you should re-listen to the first interview you had with her. She seems to have a questionable understanding of salvation and sound doctrine. I definitely am not saying weather or not she is saved, but put it this way, I wouldn’t consider her a candidate for Sunday School teacher. She needs Biblical discipleship. In my opinion, there seem to be quite a few regular guests to yours, and to some of the other like-minded shows, who need to get down to the fundamentals again or perhaps for the first time.Perhaps there’s some truth to the whole Nephilim thing, but that should not be our preoccupation. Show after show of Black Awakenings and Alien Abductions is not the “meat and drink” that that Jesus wants us feasting on day after day. Listen to some sermons by Leonard Ravenhill, Paris Reidhead, Joe Schimmel etc… and you’ll start seeing that the battle that is going on unseen is not against the nephilim but for the souls of men. Does it give you any pause that Dr. Heiser seems to be the only notable scholar in this camp? I’m afraid that it’s possible (not unquestionably)while you are warning against one group of false teachers (the dominionists), you are possibly giving creedence to others. Be careful, please!
]]>Now I’m off to find a churchian free happy place.
]]>My only complaint as someone who has more than dabbled in the paranormal is that the venue may be TOO christian too attract an electric group of people.
And please! I cannot believe all the comments ripping Shelia apart from so called christian brethren! Wow with people like you guys, who needs enemies? Anyone with half a brain should know that she is probably reading this. Nice going.
She did not come across to me as delusional. What she considers gang stalking I consider organized stalking. And there are plenty of telepaths out there who can make it happen. Look at some of the programs our military has been involved in, look up DARPA.
There is a world out there must of you have NO clue exists and quite frankly you probably couldn’t handle it. So what good are you to anyone?
I don’t think some of you have any clue as to what kind of people are actually out there in the shadows and what they are capable of. But they prefer it that way.
Have you ever met people who agreed 100% on any topic? I can’t stand half of them but I’m not going to name them, question their sanity, and rip them apart publicly. Freaking out on someone who maybe has a different doctrine from you comes across as fear…….and fear feeds. Where’s that “perfect love” I keep hearing about that casts out fear?
Sheesh, you made me feel bad for her!
You remind me of why at times I do not trust or like Christians.
]]>Thanks for a fantastic show and I will continue to be a faithful listener. Keep up the good work and keep up those consistent requests and praises for discernment via the Holy Spirit. Much love to you both and of course, to Sam as well.
]]>Anointed Vessel: your concern is noted. I think the greater danger is that people like Sheila–and a number of people have contacted us to let us know how much they appreciate knowing that they aren’t alone–don’t know about people who can help them like Russ Dizdar and Joe Jordan, who will be at this conference. By speaking up, she is at least guiding them to people who understand the problem, as you do: we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities.

]]>If we ever, ever divert anyone’s attention from Christ and Him crucified, ours included, then we are in serious error. That has never been our intent. Our hope is to help people to be aware of the Enemy’s snares, not to throw more of them out there.
To that end, we have said many times on our programs not to take anything that we or any of our guests say as gospel, but to take only the *gospel* as gospel.
]]>The scriptures you mention are a very small part of canon and require a lot of adding to in order to arrive at your world view. And only certain translations can be used in that way — or perhaps misused. As for the traditions of men, Christ frequently challenged the leaders of His day for their traditions which made the Word of God of no effect.
One of my largest concerns with your teaching is that this ‘movement’ seems to take believers away from the Bible to the books and tapes and teachings of men and women who share a similar world view — even to individuals who you admit are not Biblically sound — such as Dr Pugh. I worry that the enemy uses this to lead people away from God, especially new believers or believers who are not firmly rooted in the Bible — or believers coming out of a new-age or metaphysical background. I worry that this might be another one of Satan’s numerous disinformation campaigns.
If I am wrong, Christ, and time, will certainly reveal it.
Thank you again for your civility.
]]>Annie:
Thanks for your comments, and I appreciate you sharing your honest assessment of our work. You’re right, Jesus didn’t specifically say anything in the Olivet Discourse about the Genesis 6 nephilim incident. It is, however, referenced in Jude and 2 Peter 2, and presumably they knew what they were talking about.
Were the nephilim the result of a breeding program intended to destroy humanity? I don’t know. It’s a theory that fits the evidence but there’s no way to know for sure.
It is, however, a theory that is based on scripture. I direct you to the work of Dr. Michael Heiser at http://www.thedivinecouncil.com. More to the point is his presentation from the Ancient of Days Conference a few years ago , which you can watch at YouTube by clicking here.
Dr. Heiser addresses the following questions:
1.) What were the “Sons of God” and what was the nature of their relationships?
2.) Is there a relationship between the Flood and the hybridization?
3.) Who were the Nephilim, and are they distinct from the “Sons of God?”
4.) Is there a relationship between Genesis 6 and Genesis 3?
5.) How is the idea of giants explained in the ancient Jewish traditions?
6.) Did ancient people believe in hybridized offspring? Did they take Genesis 6 literally?
7.) Does the word Nephilim mean Giants?
You are correct that we do fight a spiritual battle against real demonic forces. Before I was a Christian, I was involved in Wicca. I brought demonic forces into my home, but they did not attack me, they attacked my son. They left when I became a Christian, and before they did, they told my son they were angry at me for becoming a Christian and that’s why they were leaving. The years of paranormal activity that had been going on in my home came to an abrupt end. I don’t think demons can invade a home where the Holy Spirit is present. I’ve listened to all of you for years with an open mind, now I consider you deceived false teachers who are deceiving others. Maybe it’s time you took a step back and questioned whether you are Biblically sound or not.
]]>I dont mean to offend anyone but I felt a cringe when I heard her name on the roster.
Keep following the call guys..its time for the catacombs to extend to the West Coast. I got my chalk ready to write a fish on the walls
Thanks Derek and Shiela.
