A Little Leaven

Welcome to Our Museum

The Museum of Idolatry has now been in existence for a little over a year. In that short amount of time we've produced more than 600 exhibits of idolatry and our collection grows daily. Be sure to subscribe to our RSS feed so that you can be notified of new exhibits.

If this is your first visit or if you haven't already done so, please grab your favorite beverage and spend some time wandering through our exhibit archives. We recommend starting on the "Jesus Junk Wing". Afterwards, if you have the stomach for it, be sure to visit our collection of Christian Erotica.

This Week's Featured Archive Exhibit: Rick Warren Teaches Self-Love

Thanks again for visiting.

The Shack's False Godhead

The Shack is being advertised as THE book that will help you "see God as you never seen him before". (that's an understatement!)

Below is a simple graphic that shows you the unholy trinity at the heart of The Shack.

In The Shack 'god' the father is an African American WOMAN called Papa (a goddess!), 'god' the son is a plain looking Middle Eastern man with a big nose and 'god' the spirit is a small, delicate little Asian girl (another goddess!). The Shack also teaches the heresy of modalism and is chock full of other serious doctrinal errors.

Sadly, Christians are buying this book in droves and claiming that it's changed their lives or opened their mind to new ideas about God. But, this book teaches false doctrine, false theology and a false triune godhead and the author has publicly rejected the doctrine of Sola Scriptura.

This is not the one True God of the Bible. This is an idolatrous picture of God that contradicts what God has revealed about Himself. Christians should not read this book in their quest for finding spiritual truths because the false teaching is so bad and so dangerous that this book can only be classified as 'spiritual poison'.

Heed the warnings of scripture.

2Th. 2:9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Tim Challies Review of The Shack

"Christian" Washer

Here is even more proof that Christians will buy ANYTHING that you slap a verse on to.

The item below is nothing more than a plain, ordinary washer. You can buy washers for a nickel a piece down at your local hardware store. BUT, once you slap a Bible verse on to an ordinary washer you can sell it to Biblically illiterate Christians for $5.99.

"Christian" Designer Handbag

Now Christian women can share their faith using this designer handbag. Be sure to keep a pocket sized Bible in it because unbelievers at the grocery store and shopping mall will be stopping you and begging you to share your faith with them as soon as they experience the incredible testimonial power of this handbag.

Todd Bentley the Highly Inaccurate "Prophet"

The Lakeland Healing "Revival" is in full tilt BUT Todd Bentley is a false prophet. How do we know? We know this because the Bible is clear that a true Prophet of God is always 100% correct. God doesn't grade Prophets on the curve. Either God is speaking to you or He isn't. Here is the Biblical test of a prophet:

Deut. 18:21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’— 22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.

Below is a video that provides us with IRREFUTABLE proof that Bentley is a FALSE PROPHET. Pay close attention to how accurate his 'readings' are. Remember a true Prophet of the One True God MUST, according to the scriptures, be 100% accurate.

By the way, what is the Old Testament punishment for false prophets in the Kingdom of Israel? Here is what the scriptures say:

Deut. 18:20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’

People need to heed the warnings of scripture.

Matt. 7:15   “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

Matt. 24:11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.

Matt. 24:24 For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Lakeland Healing Revival

Beware another false "prophet" is on the loose and his name is Todd Bentley and he's in the middle of 'healing revival' in Lakeland Florida. This man is nothing more than a new TBN type false prophet and minister. He blathers on about seeing angels and seeing Jesus and receiving personal revelations directly from Jesus. This man is dangerous and deceptive. When he's done with you, your wallet will be empty and your soul will be in hell.

Get the Marriage You've Always Wanted?

The Oprah-fication of the American Christian Church continues. Trinity Church in Omaha, NE is now offering the "marriage you've always wanted" to the people of their church.

Here's what their website says:

Think Having a Great Marriage Is Impossible?!

Statistics can make us skepticle, but it really IS possible to have a great marriage!

And while we're not pretending to have it all figured out, we do believe there are some basics that - when given a chance - can go a long way in helping to build the marriage you've always wanted!

Join us for this life-giving series, with messages designed to help you learn about:
• How to prepare yourself for marriage
• Solid foundations for a satisfying marriage
• How to handle conflict with your spouse
• How to really love your spouse, in word & deed

Rather than preaching the foolishness of Christ crucified for our sins and risking the destruction of marriages by calling people to repentance and the forgiveness of sins, Trinity Church is off topic and offering something that Biblical Christianity does not necessarily offer.

Luke 14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.

Luke 18:29 And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, 30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life.”

1Cor. 2:1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

"Christian" Pornography?

The church's slide into complete apostasy continues unabated. The latest evidence of this comes from a website that is proposing "Christian" pornography (warning: explicit content). Here is their proposed framework for "Christian" porn.

• It must depict only married couples engaging in sexual acts.
• It must portray sex within the context of a Christian marriage.
• It must be instructional.
• Husband and wife must both receive their due benevolence. (This means that both sex partners must be shown getting equal pleasure and sexual attention from one another)
• No extramarital sex, unless it is to illustrate the downfalls of adultery.
• It must be uplifting and inspirational, focusing on strengthening Christian marriage and Christian faith.
• No profanity.

So basically as long as we're looking at instructional pornography the depicts "Christian" married couples having sex then we should embrace this as edifying and blessed of God.

1 in 3 Trinity Energy Drink

These clever entrepreneurs have taken the name of Holy Trinity (aka the ONE TRUE GOD) and slapped it into an Energy Drink.

mixed with B-vitamins, Vitamin C, herbs and antioxidants, make for an abundant taste and high-powered energy any time of the day.

Church Dating Series Includes Song from Grease that Glorifies Pre-Marital Sex

What could be more relevant than performing a song from Grease that glorifies pre-marital sex?

Here is 'Summer Nights' as performed by Granger Community Church.

"She Was Good. You know What I mean."

What is Granger Church teaching folks with a performance like this?

Apparently Granger forgot a few passages of scripture that are relevant to their use of so-called 'relevance'.

Galatians 6:14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

James 4:4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

What Wouldn't Jesus Do?

Jesus should consider competing in the X Games. Wouldn't that be relevant?

Pop Goes the Church

Listen carefully to how they decide what they are going to preach about at Granger.

Then compare what you hear to what scripture says:

2Tim. 4:1   I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

Titus 1:7 For an overseer,as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. 9 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
