A Sad Decline

1/9/2020

8 Comments

 
When One For Israel first began producing Hebrew content, many of us myself included were happy to endorse it. It seemed to be accomplishing great things -engaging content in Hebrew that was definitely impacting Israelis via the social media like YouTube. As the years have passed however, we began to hear more and more rumblings of concern from doctrinally sound voices within the local Body here, and we also began to see and hear things ourselves that were indications that all is not well. We know personally of at least one international ministry that will no longer support One for Israel because of doctrinal (amongst other) concerns.

Certainly some of our overseas contacts were sickened to see NAR apostle Michael Brown appearing in their materials, and over time a few other NAR-connected figures have also appeared in One For Israel evangelistic materials, such as Ron Cantor and Jonathan Bernis or false teachers such as Jonathan Cahn. However things have now reached a new low, because One For Israel have recently openly endorsed and celebrated, of all people, Sid Roth.

I shouldn't have to explain much about Sid Roth to discerning readers, other than to say, that if there is anything weird, goofy, heretical, off-the-wall and even downright occultic circulating in the Body of Christ, you will probably find it being promoted on Sid's "It;s Supernatural!" at some point, -a programme I would recommend not watching if you have just eaten, have a sensitive gag-reflex, are allergic to nuts, or go into toxic-shock when coming into contact with anything containing simony. Sid has made quite a name for himself amongst discernment bloggers and while might not be among the top ten richest prosperity gospel preachers out there, but he has certainly made at least one persons list of Top Ten Worst Word of Faith Teachers.
Describing Sid merely as "polarising"- is an understatement so staggering as to be downright deceitful. Roth in addition to being himself a well documented false teacher, is more than happy to promote the most extreme examples of the same ilk. Here's a few snippets.
Below is Sid introducing NAR Apostle Brian Simmons producer of the Passion "Translation" (one of the most twisted perversions of God's Word to date that is so far out that it makes the JW's New World Translation look almost tame by comparison) who apparently (like so many NAR leaders) visited heaven and saw a chapter 22 of John's Gospel amongst other things. Sid's show is extra-biblical and occultic revelation on steroids.
A more obvious false teacher operating in the Messianic Body would be hard to find. Yet One for Israel are actually celebrating him. For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see, this endorsement of Roth should be a huge flashing warning sign over the continuing validity of One for Israel. Yes, in the past they have done some good things, but what we are seeing now is mixture, and not just with stuff that is a little off. Sid Roth is really on the outer limits, in the Twilight Zone of Crazyville, and some of the stuff he promotes, in addition to being downright heretical, is outright blasphemous and such an absolute reproach as causes the way of truth to be evil spoken of. I actually hate having to write this, because I do know personally some people connected with One For Israel who do not subscribe to this kind of garbage, and are greatly distressed by it, but unfortunately they don't call the shots. I know that One For Israel's demise will hurt them. But the question is, do we really want the Gospel in Israel to be associated with Sid Roth and the NAR? Do we want unsaved Israelis to think that that is part of biblical Christianity? I think it's time for those dear Christians in the Diaspora who love and pray for Israel and give so generously to help fund the Gospel over here, love us enough to send their gifts to a ministry that does not endorse and celebrate such blatant false teachers and will not mix truth with error in such a flagrant fashion. Israel supporting believers really need to do their discernment homework these days; sadly they can not take it for granted that just because any ministry or congregation is Israel-based and pro-Israel, that it is doctrinally sound or not run by heretics, false prophets or scam artists, or equally as bad, connected and co-operating with those who are such things.

Pray too for those doctrinally sound believers within One For Israel who groan and cry at what it is becoming, that the Lord give them clarity as to what actions to take and that He will provide for them, and also that He would raise up something in its place that is faithful to His Word and will glorify His name instead of bringing a reproach upon it.

"But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not. (1Pet. 2:2-3)

Sid Roth should be called Sid Wrath.

Perhaps more fittingly, and tragically, Sid About-to-suffer-Wrath.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Thanks for writing this article!

I am so very disappointed in One For Israel! I wrote to them in the comment section of their Sid Roth video but they had some lame excuse as to why they can expose this wolf to thousands of people.

Blessigs!

At the very least this endorsement of Roth shows an appalling lack of discernment, but even worse, a cavalier disregard for the extremely clear commandments of Scripture to mark and avoid false teachers and those who bring in doctrines contrary to the form of sound words contained in the apostles teaching and that to grant false prophets like Roth aprrobation is to participate in their wickedness (see 2Jn).

I used to love their evangelistic materials in Hebrew, but I can no longer endorse them or point others to their materials, because they have mixed it with toxic stuff like that we see above. It's tragic.

100% agree with you about supporting true, trusted ministries but isn't that what FIRM claims it exists for? To point believers to those ministries. I'm concerned at just how ecumenical they seem to be, especially if they are the self-appointed gate keepers to the Israeli Messianic Community.

On Sid Roth, I'm not surprised that people say they feel betrayed. How many have prayed for One For Israel staff to be protected from the attacks of the blind-to-the-truth Ultra Orthodox only to see them then sell out to the equally blind-to-the-truth crowd of Word of Faith heretics and NARpostles.

Shalom Chris,

Indeed, in an ideal world something like FIRM would be a good idea, but when FIRM itself invites false prophets and hucksters like like Todd White and others of his ilk, connects itself with HillSong, has NAR figures on its board like apostle Samuel Rodriquez, Don Finto, Paul Zink, Paul Wilbur etc, then this is evidence that there are very, very serious problems with FIRM. And, yes there are a number ecumenically corrected leaders operating within FIRM. I would be counselling spiritual leaders over here to stay away from FIRM and if already involved, arrange a swift divorce.

Another thing about FIRM is the character of the ministries, organisations and congregations to which it is connecting unsuspecting Israeli congregations, ministries and organisations. Those pastors and spiritual leaders who may have unwittingly got involved with FIRM while not understanding its true nature, may well find upon investigation that they are being connected with hypercharismaniac or NAR entities abroad. Pastors and spiritual leaders need to do a very thorough doctrinal and background investigation before taking that cash or establishing that connection.

The vast majority of those listed as members under FIRM's listing we would consider as falling within the hypercharismaniac or explicitly NAR and NAR-connected categories; disturbingly we also see two otherwise respected publishing houses who generally produce doctrinally solid content and are opposed to the twisted doctrines of the NAR; namely HaGefen and HaChotam included as members as well, -making us conclude that there has been a serious lapse in discernment on their part On reflection though, a few disturbing things have been slipping under the HaGefen doctrinal radar of late: the first being the publishing of Yitshak Shapira's "Kosher Pig" book. Shapira has been clearly and decisively outed as peddling a form of the modalist heresy. The second is their publishing of the Richard Foster's New Age classic "Celebration of Discipline" in Hebrew. We would regard Foster's book as one of the most spiritually dangerous and insidious publications to enter mainstream Evangelicalism. We would hope that these were temporary lapses of judgement. Perhaps, however it is high time for an article or a movie on the topic of Foster and his occult practices and Interspirituality.

Israel is important so satan who has power over the nations cause many nations to go against her. The israeli church is important, so satan who has ministers has caused many wolves to go into her to pervert and distroy the israeli church from within. Tikkun, ICEJ, king of kings etc etc satan knows the best way to distroy the Israeli church isnt with hammers and jihadists it's with smiling faces who inject just enough herecy to go mostly un noticed.
