Friends today there's a teaching that's influencing the churches and pop culture and this teaching can send you to hell let's talk about it.
Well welcome to the channel truth for you where lies come to die a slow and painful death and we promote jesus christ his word above all else and today you might just get offended maybe possibly your actual church is teaching and promoting the enneagram maybe you've taken the personality test and you liked it this is not to condemn you but to awaken you so if you will bear with me and give me a little of your time i'm going to show you some things that you are going to be amazed at influence that the Enneagram and richard rohr has had on our pop culture ranging from hit tv show the chosen to Jen Hatmaker to william b young Rob Bell kevin max from dc talk financial guru dave ramsey of course we have bethel and elevation church with steven furtick i'm not incumbent with a person i'm not incumbent with a political party i'm in covenant with god almighty i am god almighty to an actual denomination assemblies of god and i want to show you that the enneagram is not just a personality test if you're listening to me and you're christian i would imagine you would say you know what tell me more i don't want to be involved in something that the enemy can use against me right you understand that there's powers and principalities that war against us and paul calls us to tear down every stronghold that comes against the supremacy of christ.
Before we start i mean this video is pretty tough for me about a year ago after 25 years of ministry in what is now assemblies of god church i was kicked out along with about 19 other people a person from the church was going to marriage counseling and as he went to my associate pastors counseling he noticed something called the enneagram being taught actually you had to pay for a test for it he started to talk to me about of course he wrote to my pastor and it was concerning because you see his daughter has become a witch and she actually owns a thriving witchcraft business and one of her top sellers is the sacred Enneagram by writ by.
Christopher Heuertz and forward by richard rohr he's like why is this teaching in marriage counseling right so we begin to ask questions and of course i've already done research on Richard Rohr he's someone who promotes the universal christ it's complete blasphemy we'll discuss this more when we get to that section of the video but suffice it to say he believes everybody and even his dog venus is the christ jesus isn't just the christ everybody's christ called the universe of christ even the catholic church denounced him as a heretic we began to look at the Enneagram and i began to see how the founders were just completely occultic and use new age use demon worship actually talk to angels to create the curriculum and we presented that to to my church my former pastor said oh i see nothing i was not here i did not even get up this morning i'm not teaching it from the pulpit and i'm not going to tell what the the associate pastor to do he's my friend he's a professional counselor i personally disagree with the enneagram but we're not gonna tell him not to stop or we're just gonna say hey you know this can be redeemed for good the associate pastor you know he said well you celebrate christmas and that's completely demonic in new age you can check out my video on is christmas actually pagan it was a complete disregard to the evidence brought forth found out that my church didn't even have elders they basically said you're disrupting the peace you're using scripture as a weapon church is a safe place that's like the woke culture and what i found was my own church canceled me i was like wow 25 years and it wasn't like i was a pew sitter not that pew sitting is necessarily bad i was actually preaching teaching doing ministry doing worship i was very involved.
Romans 16 17 says i appeal to you brothers to watch out for those who cause divisions most people say oh put the period right there if you're causing divisions if you're coming against leadership if you're talking about Enneagram and we've accepted Enneagram if you're talking about anything that we don't like you're out of here but what does paul say who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you've been taught avoid them you cannot be browbeat because you're being divisive rather you are showing an error things that have happened to your church to the ministry that is worldly and secular that is trying to dethrone christ.
You know when i opened this video out i talked about teachings that can send you to hell and that might put you on edge but i want you to understand any teaching that takes us away from the supremacy of christ and his word is leading you to hell anything that says christ and is setting you up for hell these teachings are not glorifying christ are not exalting his supremacy are not exalting the word made flesh they're exalting man-made self-promoting philosophy and they're making money at it.
Second peter 2 1-3 but false prophets also arose among the people just as there will be false teachers among you who will secretly bring in destructive heresies even denying the master who bought them bringing upon themselves swift destruction and many will follow their sensuality and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed and in their greed they will exploit you with false words their condemnation from long ago is not idle and their destruction is not asleep jesus and his word are very clear beware of infiltrators that come in to destroy the church and destroy good doctrine.
Shortly after the gospels were written there are a group of people called the gnostics and they promoted mysticism and secret knowledge that's what gnosticism means and the gnostics promoted an idea that jesus didn't rise bodily he rose in essence that influenced many people it's thriving in the american church and they're open about they they call themselves christian mystics it's tearing down the scripture that's been revealed and it's saying there's something else that you haven't heard of yet if you don't you're not going to get blessed you're not going to understand the truth you're not going to understand what god really has for you so many christians will be like well they mentioned jesus they mentioned god how bad can it be well it's it can be complete blasphemy friends this is nothing new it's twisting christ and twisting what it means to be a christ follower into some new philosophical journey towards self.
So what's the enneagram the enneagram is a nine pointed star designed to enable you to discover your true self and to discover how your true self relates to other people and their true selves the enneagram is divided up into these three aspects head body and heart and understanding these three elements helps us understand our true self and and we become one with the cosmos so much for just a personality desktop.
In fact secular news site medium states the Enneagram is not just a personality test most importantly the function of the enneagram is not to prescribe a set of traits that can be used to fashion or describe an identity as with myers-briggs and many other personality typing systems with the enneagram the personality is just a set of coping mechanisms built around a person's true self to find one's type is not the end point but the beginning of a journey of self-discovery the approach to thinking about oneself is a striking departure from the rigid moralism that draws stark lines between good and bad that christians have been steeped in it allows even encourages worships to embrace their whole self the teaching is that man is genuinely good but we fell into ego and through ego into personality and now we have problems right so we need to understand our personality to get back up to ego to get back up into our true realized self.
Many of you are saying i took the enneagram it's a test this personality test it has nothing to do with what you just said matt then maybe you should learn a little bit more about what you've been involved with because the actual founders the actual creators and those who've written books on the Enneagram support what i just said and if you have any type of discernment right now you should be saying hmm this sounds very new agey certainly doesn't sound scriptural.
Christopher Heuertz and his book the sacred Enneagram states type isn't a type of person but a path to god the nine types of the enneagram form a sort of color wheel that describes the basic archetypes of humanity's tragic flaws sin tendencies primary fears and unconscious needs the understanding of these components when shaped through contemplative practice new age meditation doesn't talk about meditating on scriptures when shaped through contemplative practice helps us wake up to our true self and come home to our central nature there you go friends contemplative practice waking up to your true self come home to your essential nature and form a path to god wait a second i thought jesus said i'm the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me jesus is the path to god not your enlightenment.
Let's see what some other people have to say the diagram creator and spiritual guru who many christians call a philosopher George Gurdjieff states oneself is asleep but can be awakened through meditation analyzing one's various egos and discovering their real eye Gurdjieff declared all the cosmos is contained within the Enneagram Gurdjieff also stated humanity is earth's nerve endings through which planetary vibrations are received for transmission you'll find that when you question this man you're going to have many christian philosophers who say oh he's a good guy he's a philosopher no he's not he's a spiritual guru that promoted absolute apostasy absolute blasphemy is totally into the new age he's not into christ or christ's word remember what colossians 2 8 says about philosophy see to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on christ boom if you're gonna focus on this world oneself the spiritual elements of this world gnosticism vibrating nerve endings of the universe guess what's missing from all their writings from all their discussions one little ingredient jesus christ is missing he's the only ingredient he's the chief cornerstone he's the one who holds the whole universe together he's the one who died and rose again for us so you leave him out what you have is the world's philosophies and you've substituted christ for that Óscar Ichazo is an occultist who turned the enneagram into a personality type system let's see what he had to say in essence every person is perfect fearless and in loving unity with entire cosmos wow so much for original sin he said the trouble is when man falls from essence into personality we see this problem we've all fallen into personality traits we need to understand our personality traits to better understand our true self and in understanding our true self we come to our essential nature and in understanding that we all are essentially good we can go up into ego and into what the cosmos has for us this is crazy Ichazo claimed that when he was high on mescaline he found this angel metatron and metatron gave him this insight if you research about metatron you'll find that he's quite a character in a lot of these new age philosophers Ichazo student was claudio naranjo and claudio naranjo admits on video this thing that you know the enneagram had a huge history and this is something richard rohr picked up on the desert fathers and there were there's all this history and ancient christianity of the enneagram he said yeah we made it up at the conference i told them i had made up this tale that all this came from millennia ago and that this information came from the sufis the other thing he admitted is that he was guided by automatic writing when he came up with the nine types of the enneagram now what is automatic writing well automatic writing is when you get into a trance and allow a spirit a demon to speak to you and this demon's going to give you information and he said he wrote down what he heard i get a lot of a lot of my information from higher authorities and so do you yes yes and we know that and we trust this yes that actually oscar richardson had not described any of the neotypes either actually in the uh seven months we spent with him he devoted about six hours to talk about the enneagram but he never came to describe any one of the types there was that came in yeah yeah so that came from my own observations but mostly from automatic writing automatic writing yeah it came from to me through automatic writing what did the the specific information types about any types which i then verified through observation because i was surrounded by people i was teaching and exploring with and i had i had friends in eureka who told me essentially the same story that there was no mention of no others besides you said there was no mention of any types except from you yes so that you were the origin of the idea type concept and you were the origin of the word any type yes does that set off any alarm bells christian.
Not surprisingly he doesn't believe in original sin either the idea of original sin is something underlying the common root of all other sins and the text from genesis where this comes from speaks in symbols not in rational language symbols are like dreams you can see where he's trying to undermine the authority of scripture of course we remember romans 3 23 says all of sin and fallen short of glory of god they are multi-purpose they could mean this or that they could mean many things there's a scene in genesis in which god was strolling in his garden and he saw adam and eve and they had covered their genitals with fine leaves and god knew they had sinned so it looks like the original sin might have to do with whatever is underneath the vine leaf but it's never said explicitly it looks like this is unsaid because they also present the sin of eating the forbidden fruit the famous apple scripture never said it was an apple sir and this would be the sin of wanting to know something that belongs to the gods the ultimate knowledge of good and evil that's what adam and eve wanted so these two concepts are confused what god said was do not eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil satan came in and said oh you want to because it's going to give you knowledge of good and evil well yeah it did give them knowledge of good and evil but this is what people need to understand god walked and talked with adam he had relationship with adam the first commandment do not have any other gods beside me jesus said the greatest command is this to love the lord your god with all your heart mind body strength and soul that's relationship friends christ died to redeem us and rose again to seal that atonement to take away our sins and not just forgive us but bring us into right standing to be justified with god so that we can have a relationship with god.
The enneagram and philosophy of new age it's a quest for knowledge it's a quest inward you see to know thyself to know one's true nature and christ called us to deny ourself and look upward to his nature to who he is to put our eyes on christ and not this world not ourself so actually in this argument he proves original sin this same concept you can see throughout human history because it's within the human heart and that is rebellion against god rebellion against god's word and a search for inner truth while rejecting the one who is truth.
Naranjo goes on to believe in something called the reptilian brain we have this intellectual brain our gray matter we have a reptilian brain as they call it the primitive brain similar to a reptile's brain and then we have a brain that we can share with mammals in general if we criminalize our inner snake our reptilian brain our instinct this cannot happen without a profound act of unlove toward ourselves so this process of reconverting a dangerous animal into a sacred animal means that we recover the love for ourselves let's decriminalize evil if we just do what our reptilian brain thinks and desires that instinct then we're all gonna love ourselves no this woman is different she's incredible she's just like me she talks like me she acts like me she even orders cereal in a restaurant we even have the same initials wait a minute i just realized what's going on well now i know what i've been looking for all these years myself i've been waiting for me to come along and now i've swept myself off my feet will you stop it man you're freaking me out.
Do we get it now it's not just a type it's not just a personality test it's not just a number it's a dive inward instead of upward to christ at the heart of the enneagram is self-worship self-enlightenment a journey towards self and a journey away from christ and it's very bad.
Remember what jesus said in matthew 16 if anyone wants to come after me let him deny himself pick up his cross and follow me i have been crucified with christ it is no longer i who live but christ lives in me and the life i now live in this flesh i lived by faith and the one who loved me and gave himself for me you see friends that's the christian life it's not about discovering who we are oh what's my inner gifting oh what's this no it's all about putting our eyes on christ christ is the essence christ is the eternal one christ is the one by which all things were created and for whom all things were created not you not me but satan always turns it inward and that's our demise second corinthians 5 15 and he died for all that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised matthew 16 25 for whoever desires to save his life will lose it but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it friends scripture god's word jesus made flesh is opposed to the enneagram and all the philosophies that come with it.
So who's richard rohr the person promoting the enneagram within churchianity today he's a franciscan friar he's part of the center for action and contemplation and like i said earlier he literally states that we all can become the christ look what he said about his dog venus without any apology lightweight theology or fear of heresy i can appropriately say that venus was also christ for me shall i say more friends so many of people that you follow i guarantee it people that you look up to ministries that you are following look to this guy and are mesmerized by this guy just said that his dog venus is just as much christ to him than jesus there's no other thing i can say you need to run from the sky you need to expose his false teaching you need to warn your pastors warn your worship leaders warn your friends this is wrong and he's just being promoted more and more of course oprah loves him.
Remember Michael Gungor worship leader beautiful things he argued for evolution and i i saw the downward spiral but look what he recently said jesus was christ buddha was christ muhammad was christ christ is a word for the universe seeing itself you are christ we are the body of christ it's not was christ jesus is christ christ means anointed one there's not millions of anointed ones there's one anointed one jesus is the anointed one he fulfilled prophecy the spirit lord is upon me he has anointed me to preach the good news to the lost to set those who are captive free so that the blind may see the death may hear the mute may speak the lame may walk this is the anointing christ proved to the world he's the anointed one you're not the anointed one richard's dog isn't the anointed one buddha is not the anointed one buddha died still seeking truth he never found it christ is the way the truth the life and he said i'm the only way to the father Michael Gungor says this thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies if you want to understand more of what i'm talking about i would suggest universal christ by richard rohr also check out this season of the liturgists podcast where we explore in depth how and why this tweet is true oh okay isn't that circular reasoning i said it i believe it therefore i'm true you're delusional christ said i am the way the truth and the life and christ proved it by rising from the dead and fulfilling hundreds of scriptures written hundreds of years isaiah 700 and what 85 years before him coming to the earth psalms over a thousand years writings from moses well over 1200 years before christ so he fulfilled those in great detail i trust the empty tomb i trust his word let's continue.
And bigger than christianity well that's you got a problem right there rohr states too many christians have started and stopped with jesus wow never coming to know the universal christ many who are not christian have started with the christ by some other name after all there is only one god one love i have met hindus and jews who have lived happily and fruitfully inside this hidden christ mystery again that's narcissism promoting universalism.
Remember the shack william p young god as a woman and you know he used different different symbolism for god but there's many problems with The Shack but of course he's great friends with richard rohr and now william b young is really divulged into pure universalism something that a lot of us were warning people about back when the shack first came out acts 4 12 says salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
Remember dc talk kevin max jesus freak he deconstructed from evangelical christianity but he says i still follow the universal christ i have no idea how many people's blogs or podcasts are using that announcement for further division but i'm here for the grace of course you are because grace means you can believe whatever you want and have forgiveness no it doesn't you're empowered by his grace to forsake sin and follow him.
Or remember rob bell he started saying love wins there's no hell who's his good friend richard rohr in an interview bell asks rohr how do you explain what the bible is to people look what richard says when it says yahweh says and i know they the writers of the bible wouldn't like this but yahweh didn't say that they said that like we do we project our own consciousness onto god to justify our own evil behavior the writers of the bible according to roar wrote what they thought god said and it's no different than what you think god says or what his dog means to him but what does scripture say second timothy 3 16-17 all scripture is god-breathed and is useful for teaching rebuking correcting and training and righteousness so that the servant of god may be thoroughly equipped for every good work so what are you going to believe richard rohr and his dog venus you're going to believe the scripture the bible the word made flesh jesus the christ who fulfilled scripture and fulfilled prophecy and who rose again from the dead who are you going to believe.
Now richard rohr is also the hero of progressive woke christianity Jen Hatmaker anybody very well known blogger i'm so glad you're gay she says father richard rohr is one of our best teachers hands down look at her podcast live your way into a new way of thinking of course she promotes the Enneagram all over the place.
Here's a former elevation church ministerial worker admitting that steven furtick is now quoting richard rohr from the pulpit he's beginning to dabble i would say an experiment and kind of play around with some new age philosophy now oh no like what he's been um quoting richard rohr in some of his sermons if anyone knows who Richard Rohr he's kind of like the king of new age and universalism and pluralism he says that that there's this christ consciousness that everyone's going to heaven i mean absolutely the opposite of christianity and again Furtick hasn't necessarily made those claims but that's the guy he's reading that's the guy he's quoting and so that's why i say he's experimenting with it on his sermon titled focus on the fruit he's literally said because god is energy god is a spirit god is a molecular structure that fills the all in all that's what it means when it says christ was from the beginning god is energy god is spirit god is a molecular structure that fills all in all that's what it means to say that christ was from the beginning that is panentheism like it is panentheism and that's richard rohr that's absolutely richard rohr's teaching.
Now what about the chosen very popular multi-million dollar crowd-funded tv series on jesus dallas jenkins director writer actually one of my facebook friends i don't know for how long hey dallas he was promoting richard rohr from richard rohr not sure that this is universally true but it's rocking my world this is what richard says now again notice he's going to war against scripture just because you use scripture even in a god-affirming way does not mean you are using scripture for life and love growth and wisdom and for the sake of god and others many of the worst genocides and atrocities in history have been supported by scripture quotes in the mouths of selfish and scared people excessive god talk and quoting of scriptures are the best possible cover for a narcissistic personality in fact sometimes it seems to me that the churches that go on and on about the greatness of god and both their sermons and their music are often filled with the very groups and individuals that most want that greatness for themselves i doubt if god needs us to be saying how great god is as satan does here with jesus yes religion is the best thing in the world and also the worst thing in the world and so is holy scripture okay there's so much there it's like a whole nother video but let me just say the writer and director of the chosen says that rocks his world what rocks his world a man who says his dog venus is christ wrote if you use excessive scripture quotes and excessive god talk you're a narcissistic person well you know who quoted the scripture and who talked about god a lot jesus so richard rohr just said jesus is one of the most narcissistic people ever how do you like that and you like that from the writer and director of the chosen there's something seriously wrong here dallas you need to repent i talked to you and wrote to you and you just laugh at me well let me tell you something you're following a dude who denies jesus who says that scripture is the worst thing in the world look how he ended scripture is both the best and the worst thing in the world guess what scripture is the word of god guess whose name is the word of god jesus that's what it says in revelation and his name is the word of god so richard rohr what you just posted stated jesus is the worst thing in the world there you go dallas oh but it doesn't end there tyler thompson writer of the chosen he quotes richard rohr too the people creating one of the most popular tv shows about jesus are influenced by a man who says his dog is a christ just as much as jesus is the christ.
Now the chosen already has controversy i was saying mormons and christians worship the same jesus of course they don't jesus was not created beautiful things about this project has been my growing brother and sisterhood with people of the lds community the stories of jesus we do agree on and we we love the same jesus we we love the same jesus i'll sink or swim on that statement i don't mind being called a blasphemer i don't deny we have a lot of theological differences but we we love the same jesus mormons are on their way to hell it is a damning religious system mormonism believes the bible is corrupt there are so many gods in mormonism that they don't even know how many gods there are worst of all they believe that the god who created the universe is himself a created being and jesus the eternal god is a created being they believe that god had sex with a mother and they had baby jesus it is idolatry of the rankest kind it is polytheism of the worst kind it is deviant what you have is a denial then of the trinity a denial of the nature of god as the eternal one a denial of the person of jesus christ denial of the holy spirit the biblical teaching of the holy spirit denial of the veracity and truthfulness of the bible and then you add to this sexual deviancy where you want to have multiple wives that this is a very very very pagan religious system to jesus having to practice his sermons also there's the beginning and the end what about the beginning my concern about the beginning is more logistical right now your opening line is you are the salt of the earth i'm worried particularly if it is windy or if the crowd is larger than we expect that people near the back will hear salt the earth and it will immediately go to mind a negative connotation the punic wars of course that's not scriptural because jesus said i say what only the father tells me to say he didn't ask matthew the tax collector for help.
Jesus and nicodemus first of all they leave off 19-21 and this is a condemnation light has come into the world and men love darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil and everyone practicing evil hates the light does not come to the light lest his deed should be exposed but he who does the truth comes to light that his deeds may be clearly seen that they have been done in god now they left that off and notice what they said is the kingdom of god really coming what does your heart do well whatever you do don't trust your heart jeremiah 17 9 states the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it his conclusion to nicodemus is look within your heart mysticism right there the other thing that bothered me nicodemus starts to bow to jesus and say don't do that don't do that what are you doing really did jesus say that to to the woman wiping his feet with her hair and tears of course not paul said don't worship me peter and john don't bow and worship me but no jesus never said don't do that now jesus has allowed people to worship him why because jesus is god the son he is worthy of our worship and he asks us for our worship you know he knocks at the door of our heart if anyone would open that door to him he'll come in and sup with them he is god the son we are to worship him and you can see this move to humanize jesus now you might say well that's a good thing no it's not jesus is always fully god and he added to his deity humanity contrast that with jesus leaving his deity and taking on humanity that's a huge difference theology means study of god and you ought to know how to study the scriptures and if you think that jesus left his deity and took on humanity instead of always being god the son taking on humanity then you are indeed worshipping a false christ you're worshiping just another human and you when you take that to its fruition that's when you get to the thought process of well we all can become the christ buddha was christ muhammad was christ my dog venus is christ why because you've taken the deity from christ and given it to everyone that's not what the bible says that's a complete blasphemy richard rohr's dog died buddha died muhammad died Christianity has died they can't help me they can't help you they can't forgive your sins jesus rose from the dead and he lives forever more he intercedes at the right hand of god for us and he's coming again to judge living in the dead there is no other name under heaven by which mankind shall be saved but by the name of jesus christ amen i hope there's some amens out there because you need to know it and if you don't then you are on your way to hell i'm not afraid to say it.
So what are we to do ephesians 5 11 says have nothing to do with darkness but rather expose it we're to be bereans testing sermons and testing authors and testing books and testing everything that's written and seeing if they pass a test of scripture and if not we are to expose it and get rid of it yeah we're going to cause some division yes we're going to make people mad you might get kicked out of church but you're to do it.
Ministries are mandating the enneagram assemblies of god is requiring richard rohr and the enneagram as reading sourced materials in their seminary curriculum dave ramsey right there of course bethel unsurprisingly has an entire library dedicated to the enneagram elevation church we're talking annie graham being single in ministry how to move past failure well of course marcia montenegro good for you marsha let me give you a like you all need to follow marcia montenegro christian answers for the new age find that on facebook richard rohr and nanogram secret there's a great book so much more in there than i could ever say in this video please go research it for yourself it's coming to your church and you better know what to do.
My former sound man at my former church said hey we can redeem everything even the devil that's like no we can't look what deuteronomy 18 9 through 13 states when you come into the land the lord your god has given you you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations there shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or daughter as an offering anyone who practice divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens or is a sorcerer or a charmer or medium or necromancer or one who inquires of the dead forever does those things is an abomination to the lord and because of these abominations the lord your god is driving them out before you you shall be blameless before the lord your god.
We are to have not even the appearance of evil first thessalonians 5 21-22 says this prove all things hold fast to that which is good abstain from all appearance of evil.
Church this is what we must do to fight against this false teaching this leaven this new age philosophy that is literally knocking on the doors of our churches today in america wake up pray be a voice share this video let your pastor see this video if you will do this god will certainly bless your endeavor it's not going to be easy you may find that you're outcast but you will be blessed you'll be blessed because you will know the truth and the truth of jesus christ will begin to set you free from the bondage of lies amen you.
