Author and researcher L.A. Marzulli says modern science is reviving the sins of Genesis 6, warning that current advances in gene editing may be fulfilling Jesus’ prophecy that the last days would be “as it was in the days of Noah.”

“We are taking genetic material and mixing the seed,” Marzulli said during a recent broadcast. “We’re doing that. Can the rapture be that far off? I don’t know. Not a date setter, but maybe next Wednesday.”

Citing Matthew 24 and the extra-biblical book of Enoch, Marzulli linked contemporary genetic experiments—including the attempted resurrection of extinct species—to the actions of fallen angels before the flood.

“We know the fallen angels sinned against the animal kingdom,” he said. “Read the book of Enoch. That’s why, you know, folks, if you were going to keep one book out of people’s hands, out of the seminaries… Oh, don’t read Enoch!”

Marzulli focused on a Dallas-based biotech company, Colossal Biosciences, that claims to have brought dire wolf pups back using ancient DNA and gene-editing techniques. “They’re able to take some of those genetic attributes and put them in with a normal wolf,” he said. “From my perspective, this is a line… we’re kind of playing God here, aren’t we?”

For Marzulli, this isn’t just a scientific curiosity—it’s a prophetic red flag.

“Jesus warns us it would be like the days of Noah,” he said. “We’re back there again. In modernity. In the present day.”

Marzulli also addressed the theological implications of resurrection, tying genetic science to biblical eschatology. “The Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, the trump of God,” he said, quoting 1 Thessalonians 4. “The dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.”

“If they can retrieve enough DNA to recreate a dire wolf… how much more could God do with our bodies at the Resurrection?” he added.

Marzulli concluded with a reference to Jesus as the “prototype,” pointing to the Shroud of Turin as what he called “forensic proof of the greatest moment in all of history—and that’s the Resurrection of the God-man, Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah.”

The warning is as ancient as it is current: tampering with the divine order has consequences. And if Marzulli is right, those consequences may soon be upon us.

“Is your past holding you back?”

Rabbi Kirt Schneider asks this question with urgency, sincerity and hope in his recent message. His answer, rooted in Scripture and personal conviction, is clear: through the power of God and the blood of Jesus, you can be set free.

Rabbi Schneider pulls no punches as he addresses how many people live in the shadow of what once was. “Sometimes we don’t understand how what we’ve been through in the past is causing us to be ineffective today,” he says. “Causing us to be ineffective in relationships, perhaps in our career.”

But God, Rabbi Schneider explains, is not distant from these struggles. “He is in the ministry of delivering people from their past,” he says, drawing from the book of Exodus, specifically chapter 14, as a profound example of God’s saving power.

He recounts how the Lord told Moses to speak to Israel as they faced the Red Sea: “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord…for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you will never see them again forever.” Rabbi Schneider emphasizes the significance of this moment: “Can you believe with me today that God can set you free?”

For Schneider, this isn’t just about a story from ancient history—it’s a living reality for believers today. “Even though for the whole time of your past days on earth you’ve been experiencing this negative thing, God can set you free from that thing in an instant, just like He did the children of Israel.”

But that freedom doesn’t come without movement. God told Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.” Rabbi Schneider brings the point home: “There comes a time where you need to take a step forward in the right direction…believing He’s going to do something as you go forward.”

The message resonates: staying stuck in the past—wallowing in regret, replaying old failures or listening to voices of shame—will never lead to freedom. “Stop accepting your past as a present reality,” Schneider says, “because once again in Christ Jesus, all things become new.”

The crossing of the Red Sea, he teaches, is symbolic of Christian baptism. “Even as Israel was supernaturally translated from Egypt to the other side of the sea with a brand-new life, you and I also…our past life is buried…and we’re brought up…a brand-new creation.”

He encourages listeners to lift their heads and believe in a future shaped by God’s promises: “Let’s lift up our head. Let’s take our head out of the ground and believe that we’ve been set free. The Scripture tells us that we’ve been released from our sin by His blood.”

The message is hopeful, and Schneider delivers it with passion. “Every day is a brand-new beginning,” he reminds us. “No matter what happened yesterday…because of the blood of Messiah, you start over.”

As believers prepare to celebrate Passover, Rabbi Schneider’s words strike a powerful chord: “Passover is about freedom and deliverance…the ultimate Lamb of God shed His blood on Passover to redeem us and set us free from our sins.”

And that freedom, he insists, is not just theological—it’s deeply personal. “Let go of the past. Don’t let it cling to you anymore. Don’t let Satan’s lies cling to you. You’re destined for glory.”

A timely reminder for all of us.

If you’ve ever asked God for healing—whether for yourself or a loved one—you’re not alone. For many Christians, the idea of divine healing feels like something that happens to “other people.” But according to Gordon Robertson of The 700 Club, the keys to receiving your miracle are already written in the Word of God—and they’re available to you right now.

“There are keys to healing,” Robertson said in a recent broadcast. “One is the key of announcing it—you say to the mountain, ‘Be removed.’”

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

It’s a principle straight from the Bible. Mark 11:23 says, “For truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.”

But there’s more to it than just speaking. Robertson emphasized the importance of letting the Word of God take root in your heart: “The other is that you allow the Word to grow and bear fruit in your life—that you see with your eyes, you hear with your ears, you understand, and then you turn so that Jesus can heal you.”

This echoes Jesus’ own words in Matthew 13:15, “For this people’s heart has grown dull, their ears are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I should heal them.”

Robertson describes how a word of knowledge—a moment when God reveals specific details about someone’s condition—can shake us out of disbelief: “Word of knowledge gets your attention. It causes you to turn. You see it, you hear it, and you turn.”

He went on to quote Psalm 103:3: “Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.”

The bottom line? God’s healing isn’t just a hopeful idea—it’s a promise. But receiving it requires action: declaring His Word, allowing it to grow in your heart and responding in faith when you hear it spoken over your situation.

When George Orwell wrote ‘1984’ in 1949, readers saw a world that was “dark, twisted and bizarre—but also somehow familiar,” Pastor Tom Hughes recently explained on The Tom Hughes Report.

Though the novel was fiction, set in a future England under oppressive rule, the themes were already beginning to play out in real life. And now, more than 40 years after the actual year 1984, we’re living in a world where Orwell’s dystopia seems less like fiction and more like a mirror.

But Orwell wasn’t a prophet—he was an atheist who understood totalitarianism, not Scripture. “Don’t think of Orwell as a prophet,” Hughes reminds. “He definitely was not.” Yet as Hughes walks through the current cultural and spiritual climate, he points to something far deeper and more accurate than Orwell’s imagination: Bible prophecy.

“Bible prophecy teaches that a global totalitarian government will briefly take control of Earth at some point in the future.”

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

From that biblical foundation, Hughes breaks down four key understandings of the rise of this totalitarian system and its prophetic parallels. Here’s what he sees unfolding before our very eyes:

1. The Rise of the Global Surveillance State

Orwell imagined the “telescreen”—a two-way device that watched and listened in every home. But he couldn’t have envisioned what we now live with: smart devices in our pockets, cars, homes and workplaces.

“Unlike Orwell’s limited surveillance, modern cameras and microphones are always on… The unimaginably massive level of data they gather can be monitored live while also being stored for later examination.”

The world is already interconnected. The system is already built. Now it just needs a ruler.

2. AI: The Ultimate Enforcer of Control

Artificial Intelligence is no longer theoretical. It’s practical, active and expanding fast.

“Today we see the answer to the totalitarian’s dilemma: AI… At first, if AI suspects you are of nefarious activity, it will send law enforcement… Later, it will be its own law enforcement.”

From regulating your thermostat and fuel allotment to launching autonomous robot enforcers, Hughes paints a clear picture of AI as a tool for global dominance.

“Imagine how Stalin would have loved it if he could have controlled the Soviet Union… through the use of thinking machines.”

3. The War on Truth and Thought Itself

In 1984, the regime used “newspeak” to control thought by changing language. Sound familiar?

“Language deeply influences thought… One of the best ways to change patterns of thought is to change patterns of language.”

Hughes points to Isaiah 5:20 and Malachi 2:17, warning of a world that calls evil good and good evil—even within the church. This war isn’t just political—it’s spiritual.

4. The Apostasy Within the Church

This is perhaps the most sobering point. The deception isn’t just outside the church—it’s inside.

“They rejected the light of God’s word and instead adopted the worldly enlightenment of hell’s own fires.”

Churches are preaching a “Jesus” who isn’t the Jesus of the Bible. They’re affirming sin, grooming children for the world’s wicked systems, and mocking the truth.

“Churches are actively laying the children in their care on Molech’s fiery altar.”

This isn’t just a cultural collapse—it’s a spiritual falling away, just as the Bible warned.

But There’s Hope—and Power

In the midst of all this darkness, Hughes makes it clear: We are not called to fear or silence.

“We walk in righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

Jesus promised He would not leave us as orphans (John 14:16–18), and the Holy Spirit is our constant companion, comforter and power source. Romans 8 reminds us that we are more than conquerors—no matter what the beast system throws our way.

This isn’t the time to hide in spiritual bunkers. It’s time to preach the gospel boldly, to be light in darkness and to live with confident expectation of Christ’s return.

“Listen, we are not alone. We are filled, we are surrounded, and permeated with power by God the Holy Spirit.”

The Orwellian world may be rising—but the true Kingdom is coming. And in the meantime, we’re not here by accident. We are here on mission.

“We don’t slow down because we are in the last days.”

In a recent episode of Prophecy Watchers, Pastor Billy Crone didn’t hold back. With the kind of boldness that has come to define his ministry, Crone posed a provocative question: Is Bill Gates laying the groundwork for the Antichrist?

Crone, who has spent years researching global elites and biblical prophecy, says the pieces are falling into place—and Gates is one of them.

“I will say this without hesitation right now based on my research,” Crone said. “Bill Gates really should be called Kill Gates. He is the biggest mass murderer of mankind.”

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

Yes, those were Crone’s exact words.

That claim stems from what he calls a deep dive into Gates’ business ventures and public activities. He alleges that behind Gates’ philanthropic persona is a darker motive: “Make money and murder people.”

According to Crone, everything Gates is involved in—food, water, vaccines, digital ID technology—is part of a two-pronged strategy. “What motivates every single decision he makes is two things: make money and murder people,” he said.

He pointed to Gates’ investments in agriculture and synthetic meat as an example. “Why is Bill Gates so interested in the food supply? Is he a doctor? Have you seen pictures of him? Is he a spitting image of health? No. Why is Bill Gates so big on food? I’ll tell you why: because he’s going to make money and he’s going to murder people.”

Crone also blasted Gates’ involvement in vaccine development, calling it a profit-driven agenda. “We have him on tape with the COVID pandemic. He made 20-to-1 on his investment on vaccines. It’s on tape. He admitted it. He’s making bank.”

But the most chilling aspect of Crone’s theory revolves around digital identity systems. He says Gates’ push for global digital IDs could be paving the way for the “mark of the beast.”

“You’re laying the whole foundation,” Crone said. “It’s not just bad enough that he’s doing everything to make money, murder people, but whether he knows it or not… he’s helping to build [the Antichrist’s kingdom].”

Crone is clear—this isn’t about fearmongering. It’s a wake-up call to believers. “To me, it’s just another way that God’s reminding us that our departure has to be near,” he said. “Because if we’re seeing even down to the individual global elites helping to build what we can verify biblically is the Antichrist kingdom, then how close is our departure?”

The world is shifting rapidly, and Christians need to stay grounded in Scripture—not headlines.

“It’s not just to scare people,” Crone concluded. “It’s about being excited and leading souls to Christ because any other thing, you might be ashamed.”

We live in a world that is saturated with names, celebrity names, brand names, political names, yet one name still stands above them all: Jesus.

In his latest installment of The Prophet’s Teaching Series, Mike Thompson dives deep into what makes the name of Jesus not just important, but powerful beyond measure.

“The power, the majesty, the glory, the wonder of that holy and blessed name,” Thompson explains. “We give adoration to the name of the person who not only died for our sins, but who was raised on the third day and then He ascended to the right hand of the Father in order to send the Holy Spirit and birth us.”

For believers, the name of Jesus is not just a label—it’s a gateway to salvation, authority and divine inheritance. Thompson pointed to 1 John 3:23, which commands us to “believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another.” But he emphasized the structure of the Greek text, explaining that there’s a difference between believing on and believing in His name.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

“Believing on the name of Jesus is salvation,” he says. “Believing in the name of Jesus is what taps you into the authority and the power of that particular name.”

Throughout his teaching, Thompson highlights how the name of Jesus embodies everything about who He is: “all the authority, character, rank, majesty, power and excellence that the name implies.”

Citing Philippians 2, he reminds listeners that “God has exalted Him and given Him a name above every name… every name in existence, in the spiritual realm, in the natural realm, in history past, in all of the future—there is no name that can measure up.”

One of the most powerful insights Thompson shares is that the authority of Jesus’ name isn’t arbitrary. According to Scripture, the name of Jesus carries power for three specific reasons:

1. By inheritance – “The DNA of God was in Him,” Thompson explains, referencing Hebrews 1, where Jesus is shown to have received His name as the Son of God.
2. By conferral – “God gave Him the name that was reserved in heaven,” Thompson says, citing Philippians 2 and Ephesians 1.
3. By conquest – “By kicking the devil’s butt,” he says plainly. Jesus “destroyed sin, spiritual death, [and] the hold of Satan.”

This triple crown of authority makes the name of Jesus uniquely equipped to carry divine power. Thompson points out, “Everything that the blood of Jesus has purchased for us is released by the name of Jesus. The authority of release is in the name of Jesus.”

He offered seven vital facts that every believer should know about the name of Jesus:

1. Acts 4:7–10 – The name of Jesus holds the same power and authority as Jesus Himself.
2. Acts 4:12; Romans 10:13 – We are saved and can only be saved by the name of Jesus.
3. Acts 2:38 – We are baptized in the name of Jesus.
4. Ephesians 3:14–15 – When born into the family of God, the name of Jesus belongs to us.
5. 2 Corinthians 5:20; Mark 16:15–18 – We are ambassadors with the power of attorney to use Jesus’ name.
6. John 16:23–24 – We pray to the Father in the name of Jesus.
7. Colossians 3:17 – We are to be totally controlled by the name of Jesus.

“It’s in us, it’s among us, it’s over us, we use it, it comes out of our lips, it’s in our thoughts—all because of the power of the name,” Thompson says.

In a time where everything is being challenged—faith, identity, truth—the one constant believers can trust in is the name of Jesus. As Thompson so clearly states, “You can bank on the name of Jesus. You can trust in the name of Jesus. You can use the name of Jesus with victory.”

And that’s a name worth remembering.

If you think human trafficking, the porn industry and the rise of spiritual oppression are isolated issues, think again. According to Pastor Troy Brewer, they’re all connected — and they’re all part of a much deeper war.

“This thing is truly global,” Brewer said in a wide-ranging interview on The Confessionals podcast. “It is next level global and it requires the blood of children… it requires Nephilim sex magic… and it requires the building up of iniquity of iniquitous bloodlines.”

Brewer, who leads OpenDoor Church in Burleson, Texas, and oversees 54 child rescue centers worldwide, has rescued over 11,000 children from trafficking.

The Spiritual Side of Trafficking

Brewer says human trafficking is not just a physical crime but a spiritual assault rooted in ancient occultism.

“We just started seeing… it’s the same thing,” he said of cases around the world. “The kids in Mexico went through the same exact sex magic rituals as the kids in Nepal, as the kids in India, as the kids in Uganda… It requires the blood of children for this next-level Luciferian globalistic [agenda].”

He warns that the spiritual dimension of these crimes often goes ignored by churches.

“You know, I’ve traveled the world and I’ve been doing this a long, long, long time,” Brewer said. “And guys like you actually bring to the table the language that we all need… We have a lens, but we’re not sure how this fits into our lens.”

Pornography as a Portal

Brewer doesn’t mince words about the dangers of pornography. “It truly is a portal,” he said. “If you watch pornography, you open up your entire house to a same-sex spirit.”

He explained the demonic legal access that comes through sexual sin, even passively. “Not only those who do such things shall be judged, but those who are entertained by it.”

Brewer recalled stories of rescued children who said the men who assaulted them changed form. “They said that when they got ready to film them, the guy would come in… and then he would change. He would morph into something horrible and then rape them. And that film is for next-level gazillionaires.”

The Nephilim Agenda and Bloodline Corruption

Brewer ties today’s evil directly to the ancient rebellion described in Genesis 6, when “the sons of God saw the daughters of men” and produced Nephilim.

“There is a realm of angels… that have a true physicality about them,” Brewer said. “They are so physical, brother, that they can reproduce… And they are so similar to our DNA that we can reproduce.”

He believes we are living in the days Jesus warned about. “As it was in the days of Noah — like what was going on? Well, the only person that came straight from Adam by the time that Noah was around… he was perfect in all his generations.”

Brewer claims modern technologies and ideologies — from transhumanism to gender confusion — are part of this corrupted seed war. “It’s all about trans, which is transgression. That’s what it’s all about.”

Final Warning and Hope

Brewer doesn’t want anyone to misunderstand the stakes.

“If you’re watching pornography, you are either watching a crime scene or you are funding one,” he said. “You have literally participated in some way in the murder of a child that was murdered sexually for somebody else’s pleasure.”

But he’s not hopeless. He’s calling the church to wake up and rise.

“You have to actually have a tribe. You have to have people that are living this life,” he said. “We have to come before the Lord as children, but we come before the world as warriors.”

For many believers, Passover is a powerful reminder of the Exodus—the night the blood of the lamb saved Israel’s firstborn and delivered them from Egypt. But what if this ancient feast is more than just a historical event? What if it’s a prophetic blueprint for what’s to come?

In a recent off-the-cuff teaching, Steve Moutria from Torah Family suggests that Passover may play a central role in the end times and the return of Jesus. While many look to the fall feasts—especially the Feast of Trumpets—as the likely time for Jesus’ return, Moutria says, “Passover is a legitimate time for things to begin just the same. It might actually be the most plausible time.”

The argument is rooted in the idea that biblical history is cyclical. Isaiah 46:10 says, “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.” That, according to Moutria, means what happened at Passover in the past may very well repeat on a greater scale in the future.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

Passover, he explains, is uniquely marked by both judgment and deliverance. “We see the same with Egypt… judgment would come resulting in the deliverance of Israel… and then we have Sodom,” Moutria says, linking that judgment-and-deliverance theme through multiple biblical accounts.

And the pattern doesn’t stop there. In Revelation 11, the two witnesses are killed in “the great city, which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.” Moutria connects this to Jesus’ crucifixion during Passover, adding, “Passover could even be considered the appointed time of redemption and judgment on Yahweh’s calendar.”

He also highlights the strong “door” symbolism found in Scripture, specifically around Passover. “The blood was put on the door frames, his instructions are put on the doorframes to be the reminder of Passover at all times,” he says. Verses in Revelation, Luke and James also mention a door that separates the saved from the judged—imagery that, in Moutria’s view, all points back to the first Passover.

Perhaps the most compelling clue comes from Matthew 26:2, when Jesus, after delivering His longest discourse on the end times, tells His disciples, “As you know, the Passover is two days away.” Moutria notes, “Surely this wasn’t a coincidence. Is it a clue we’ve just overlooked?”

He doesn’t claim to know the day or hour, but says it’s worth paying attention. “You can say I’m stretching things here, and maybe so. But we all know He doesn’t waste words. Everything is said with the purpose and intention.”

Whether you agree with the timing or not, Moutria’s words are a strong reminder that God’s appointed times may be more prophetically significant than many think. “The first deliverance happened at a Passover… could the same be applied to Passover at Jesus’ return, that being the last day of our bondage under Babylon?”

We have a clear call before us. Watch. Be ready. And as Steve Moutria says, “Be a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.”

Each spring, Jewish and Christian believers alike gather to remember the night when the blood of a lamb turned away death. For best-selling author and Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, Passover isn’t just a remembrance—it’s the very heartbeat of salvation.

“It is celebrated by two peoples on Earth,” Cahn says. “One are the children of Israel by flesh and blood… the other are the children of Israel by adoption, by the Spirit, who are born again and grafted in.”

At its core, Passover is about a divine rescue mission, Cahn explains. Drawing from Exodus and the Gospels, he connected the dots between the first Passover in Egypt and its fulfillment in Jesus, the Messiah.

“If you are born again… this Feast is created by God, not by man,” he says. “Messiah our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed. Let us therefore celebrate the Feast with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

During the traditional Seder, each element tells part of the redemption story. Cahn held up the z’roa—a shank bone—and revealed its biblical mystery. “The z’roa can be translated as the arm of God,” he says. “Isaiah says, ‘To whom has the z’roa, the arm of God, been revealed?’ What’s it saying? The greatest revelation of the power of God is not that He could create the universe—it’s that He could give His life for you.”

One of the most striking moments comes when Cahn draws a powerful visual connection between Exodus and Calvary.

“They put the blood of the lamb on one doorpost, the other doorpost, and the top—forming a triangle,” he said. “Over a thousand years later, God would answer that. He would take His Lamb on beams of wood and put one blood here, one blood there, and one blood there—forming a triangle from heaven to earth. You put it together, and you have the Star of David, the covenant of God.”

The cup of judgment, Cahn reminds us, symbolizes the wrath Jesus took upon Himself.

“When the Lord said, ‘Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me,’ that was the cup,” he says. “This is the judgment that you will never know, because someone else took it for you forever.”

But perhaps the most soul-searching moment of the evening arrives in a challenge.

“When you see the blood, you have to pass over it,” Cahn says. “There are people who sinned against you, who hurt you… but when you see the blood, you have to lift the judgment. You have to let go. You have to forgive.”

The Passover, he explains, is more than a meal or a moment in history. It’s an invitation to freedom.

“You are saved by the blood of the Lamb. You are set free by the blood of the Lamb. You are new by the blood of the Lamb,” Cahn says. “If you have the love of God, you are rich in this world.”

And just like the Israelites walking out of Egypt, Cahn says, “Once that Passover came, they were free… The past has no claim on your life because the blood of the Passover Lamb sets you free from everything that has ever been.”

In a recent livestream, Isaiah Saldivar tackled one of the most overlooked but important topics in Christian circles today: the misuse of Scripture.

“This is not to water down the Gospel,” Saldivar said early in his teaching. “This is not to water down those Scriptures and be a religious guy and be like, ‘You can’t use these verses.’” His goal, he explained, was not to shame believers but to help them rightly understand the verses they often quote without considering the full context.

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

“Misusing verses is not a mistake. It’s a tactic of the enemy,” Saldivar warned, referencing how even Satan quoted Scripture out of context when tempting Jesus in Matthew 4.

Here are seven of the most misused Bible verses according to Saldivar, along with his direct quotes and contextual explanations:

1. Jeremiah 29:11
Misuse: Used as a personal prosperity promise.
Context: A message to Jewish exiles in Babylon, promising restoration after 70 years.

“This was written to a specific group — the exile Jews. We could apply God’s character from it, but we shouldn’t… make it our personal fortune cookie.”

2. Philippians 4:13
Misuse: A motivational quote for success in sports or business.
Context: Paul is speaking about being content during suffering and hardship.

“This verse has difficulty baked into it… This is not about striving. The context is suffering. And the supernatural strength that comes when your identity is in Christ.”

3. Matthew 7:1
Misuse: Used to argue against any form of judgment.
Context: Jesus is addressing hypocritical judgment, not judgment as a whole.

“Jesus says actually, here’s the thing, I do want you to judge your friend… but first make sure there’s no plank in your eye.”

4. Romans 8:28
Misuse: Quoted as a blanket assurance that everything will work out positively.
Context: God uses all things for spiritual growth in those who love Him, not necessarily for comfort or worldly success.

“It doesn’t mean everything is good. It means God will use everything for His good.”

5. 1 Timothy 6:10
Misuse: “Money is the root of all evil.”
Context: The Bible says the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

“Money is not the problem. Love of money is evil. That’s the misquote.”

6. Matthew 18:20
Misuse: Used to validate small prayer groups or gatherings.
Context: Jesus was discussing church discipline, not corporate worship.

“This was about disputing. This was about unity in the church among believers. This was about agreement.”

7. John 3:16
Misuse: Implies salvation is only about intellectual belief, with no repentance or life change.
Context: Belief is tied to obedience and coming into the light.

“Belief that doesn’t transform behavior is not saving faith.”
