William James and John Dewey are credited with the popularization and refinement of pragmatism. Pragmatism proclaims that the truth or worth of an idea is based upon the results it brings. Pragmatists believe that truth is relative, situational, and that a desired end justifies any means required to reach it. [1] John MacArthur has stated that pragmatism has sucked the life out of the Church.
James studied closely the schools of thought known as associationism and spiritualism. He was a Swedenborgian theologian, and heavily involved in the Metaphysical Club, all of which are the occult.[3]
James was a Harvard professor, psychologist, psychic investigator, and philosopher.
William James explored multiple vocations in his life-long quest for intellectual clarity and spiritual fulfillment. [4]
James used hypnotism in his teaching and practice. [8]
He accepted Darwin's explanation of human evolution. [9]
Published in 1902, his pioneering Varieties of Religious Experience, which concerned building a bridge between psychology and religion. It has become the cornerstone of scientific study of religion to this day. He considered himself a pluralist. [10]
William James called for a serious study of paranormal phenomena and played a leading part in the foundation in 1885 of the American Society for Psychical Research.[11]
"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 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 Cor. 11:13-15 KJV
The True Conspiracy
"The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.' He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." Psalm 2:2-4
Unholy Alliances of Church & Government
"Would that I had the power to bring to your minds the vision as it unfolds before me! I see all denominational emphasis set aside...I see the church molding the thought of the world as it has never done before, leading in all great movements as it should. I see it literally establishing the Kingdom of God on earth." ~John D. Rockefeller Jr.

Wall of Shame
Are we to look the other way when we hear false teaching?

The Church: The Devil's Playground
"I know that charity covereth a multitude of sins; but it does not call evil good, because a good man has done it; it does not excuse inconsistencies, because the inconsistent brother has a high name and a fervent spirit. Crookedness and worldliness are still crookedness and worldliness, though exhibited in one who seems to have reached no common height of attainment." Horatius Bonar, (1808-1889)

Dear Blog Reader
This site has information compiled for research purposes only. I am a woman, but I don't consider my self an authority on the subject. I do not consider myself as a discernment ministry, rather a believer that finds many teachings to be problematic, and I want others to be aware of them.
I do not promote any Bible teacher, ministry, or author. If there is a video by any particular Christian minister within a post, it does not mean that I have endorsed their work. If you disbelieve anything presented on the site, please follow-up by doing your own research. Don't just consider it as being wrong.
This blog has over 1000 posts, and it has taken over 3 years to compile. Attempts are no longer being made to keep these posts up-to-date. Many links lead to a dead-end, and I'm sorry about that. Many earlier posts may seem vague, but they were written while I was still putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
A word of advise: Learn what you can, but don't get consumed by it. Bring your head out of the sand, check out the ugliness of the Satanic conspiracy, then proceed with your life. I do believe that this is a time when the Lord is separating the sheep from the goats. Praying that you won't get caught on the wrong side.
