Hey sheep, Ninja here. Been gone for awhile. I had to go into hiding after doing the hard work of exposing Rick Warren. After such a hard-hitting piece of reporting, I thought I better law low for some time. Don’t want to attract the wrong kind of attention. I really hate those watchbloggers out there that keep tabs on noble men of God…
Anyway, I thought I would post something a little lighter today: about things I hate. You want to know what I hate? Florida.
Just look at how stupid it is. It looks like a big loogie dripping off the chin of the continental USA. Also, Miss Florida isn’t very pretty.
You wann know what else I hate? The butterfly ballot. I so got screwed by that thing. Some place, somewhere there is a hanging chad that was counted in favor of Pat Buchanan. Ok, I admit the ballot served me well–that’s who I voted for–but I still hate Florida.
Hey everybody. Ninja here. I’ve been in hidding for awhile now because things have been a little hot around the lair. False prophets don’t like people of discernment, I always say. The truth is I’ve been sitting on something big, and when I say big I mean BIG. You all know about apostate Rick Warren and his Sattleback of love for social justice right? How he wants to bring his seeker-sensitive church to Rwanda and cure everyone of the sin of HIV? Well you wanna know what I heard? Pagan liberal politician Barack Obama wants him to be his running mate.
Now I know what you’re thinkging… What are you thinking, Ninja? That’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard of. Well let me tell you how I know: The Bible. And this infallible Sumerian-English Gematria Calculator calculator that deciperhs the “Bible Code.” Based upon this letter to number calculator using a factor of six, the letter ‘a’ represents the number 6, the letter ‘b’, the number 12, the letter ‘c’, the number 18, and so on. Using this system, if you enter in ‘OBAMAWARREN’, you get 666! No joke, this is true. And from this truth it follows that Obama, who is the anti-Christ, will pick Rick Warren to be his running mate.
So it looks like pagan Hollyweird is making another movie about the Bible. Blasphemous. Don’t they realize that by calling a man (”Evan”) the “Almightly” they are deifying man and bringing God low? What would you expect, though, from Hollyweird?
I’ll tell you what I wouldn’t expect. I wouldn’t expect professing Christians to go see this movie. I know, I know some people think it is a matter of conscience–a gray area. But this is not a gray area. This is not a matter of conscience. This is a matter of obedience. Many of the movies Christians like have someone at sometime in the film taking the Lord’s name in vain, i.e. Spiderman, Harry Potter, Bruce, Evan and dare I say the “Christians all-time favorite”… the Princess Bride.
By watching these films you have put entertainment over the command of God! That is sin, plan and simple. We, as professing believers are doing a shameful job of representing Christ to the world.
Lots of people ask me, “Hey Ninja, how do you come to your conclusions about what’s proper to do in a worship service?” To which I reply, “Silly grasshopper, I use the Bible. Sola Scriptura!”
For those of you that have never heard of the Regulative Principle let me enlighten you: If it isn’t in the Bible it is absolutely forbidden. Do you see microphoned being used in Paul’s churches? No dice. Do you see a church office called “worship leader?” Nope. Did the Galatians use instruments in their meetings? The Bible doesn’t say they did and neither should we.
Now I know what you might be saying, “Hey Ninja, I thought we were supposed to worship in spirit and truth,” Well duh, but that didn’t stop God from giving the Law to the Israelites now did it? Yeah, I know those sacrifices aren’t needed anymore and that we are under the New Covenant, but the deal is God wanted things done a certain way. That’s exactly how it works in the NT too. If it doesn’t say it, don’t do it. If you do, you might be damned.
Ok, one thing that is seriously bothering me is how ministers today refer to unbelievers as “seekers.” Don’t they know that the no one seeks God? Others resort to calling them things like “skeptics” or “curious” but none of these are found in the Bible either.
When I read my Bible along with the Puritans I find that back then they had no problem referring to the unsaved as “heathens,” “infidels,” “goats,” “pagans,” “Gentiles” and “reprobates.” Sadly, in this day of tolerance, the voice of the sheep must be sheared as not to offend politically correct sensibilities. What’s worse is that our shepherds accommodate to this nefarious zeitgeist and insist on using feel-good terms to designate “unchurched heretic and sally.”
I refuse to acquiesce to the spirit of age and its persecution of those who are denied the right to call unbelievers as they are. Once this is given up we sign the warrant for the wolves to come in and kill the sheep… because Christians are the most persecuted people on the planet.
From time to time I hear about churches that invite guest speakers to fill the pulpit of an absent pastor. I don’t think I need to elaborate on how I feel about this. Now I know what you’re thinking, “What’s wrong with that, Ninja? Where’s your biblical support.”
Um, the Bible. Hellooooo?
This was exactly the problem the Galatians had. The thought, “Hey, lets have those Judiazers come in and tell us what’s up. Paul aint here and we need someone cool to teach us. I hear those guys are on the up and up.” And you know what Paul had to say about that? ANATHEMA!
Guest speakers don’t know the church and the church doesn’t know the speaker. And that’s a hotbead for false teaching if you ask me. I mean where’s the pastoral authority? Hellooooo?

Did you know that John Piper had a rapper in his church a few weeks ago? You can watch it here. Abomination. That’s all I have to say. Actually I will say more.
What’s wrong with it you ask? Your question reveals just how far the church has backslidden. It should be obvious to any true Christian that the “music”–the beat–doesn’t belong in Christ’s church. It certainly is not something I would would expect John Piper to approve or allow. But wouldn’t the mention of a rapper at his church be enough?
The genre speaks for itself, it doesn’t need to be demonstrated. I mean are we supposed to think that it is somehow glorifying to God to sound like Eminem in worship? Didn’t think so. Rap music is vulgarians entertaining barbarians. No melody, no harmony, just a hypnotic, repetitive, erotic, and endless beat (though it could be cleaned up by replacing the techno beat with more of an Appalachian sound).
