Already listening on the podcast. Subscribe to Johns podcast, he and his co host Pastor and fellow historian Charles Paisley are doing an explosive series on Branham with never before heard evidence! Pray for the safety of their families as they share their research and for those still in this evil, evil cult. To think the New Apostolic and modern day Charismatic Movement make villains like Branham, Dowie, Parham, and many more, their foundation and heroes, is mind blowing and grievous.
I basically grew up in Zion. My dad’s family has deep roots in Zion. He has some copies of the Leaves of Healing newsletter. I heard some crazy stories.
I went to Christ for the Nations in Dallas Texas, started by Gordon Lindsay who had ties to both William Branham and Dowie… he grew up in Zion City as well. I have left the Pentecostal circles I grew up in… now I’m reformed and believe in cessation … it’s crazy to think I almost was in a cult. Now that I think about it, it makes sense because I felt things were very ‘off’!
Thank you for your content it is a blessing. I was wondering if you guys could possibly do an episode on Kabbalah and whether or not this is something that wouldnt be harmful to practice. Thank you God bless
Bethel = house of God in old testament, so popular name. Eg Jehovah witnesses call their HQs Bethel. Lots of individual chapels in small places as well as the big name grouos
Using Trump as an example is counter-productive. At least half of your listeners are thinking "How did he lie more than any other politician?", instead of listening to your message.
The group "Lord´s Recovery" teaches it's dangerous to read the Word of God directly. They say you should only understand the Bible through the interpretations of a teacher and they exclusively follow and endorse only one teacher: Witness Lee. They say he was the unique minister for this age, that only he had the complete, correct and up to date interpretation of the Bible, and that you cannot really understand the Bible outside of his teachings.

Finally an episode on Dowie!
Good job guys 👏
My dad grew up in Zion, Illinois (1920's era), which Dowie founded as a sort of Christian utopia designed to usher in the return of Christ.
Spiritual blindness just like we have today
My grandmother grew up in Zion, IL. I heard some interesting stories growing up, but never really made the cult connection.
It’s great when discernment channels team up to do videos like these. People need to know who Dowie was. He was the template for charlatan ministers.

The trinitarian belief that Jesus is co-equal and co-eternal with the father is not what’s taught in scripture. Mark 13:32, John 14:28.

I watched all of the God’s Generals videos. 😬
Man this really reminds me of the movie There Will Be Blood. With the different characters of the false preacher Eli and whatnot.
