I had doubts about A Stanley for a long time but when he said we need to unhitch from the Old Testament, I figured him to be false. A wolf who leads many astray.

This is a good example of someone who doesn't know what the gospel actually is because no one who knows what it is wouldn't believe that they're already born again while they're still a physical being. Jesus clearly told Nicodemus that a person who is truly born of the Spirit IS spirit. They are no longer a physical being at that point.
@@robkeen2818now why would you ask that question after seeing what this person posted??? They are neither born again nor do they understand what it means

It's strange that Andy fell so far away from his father. It's disturbing to see and hear that Andy is preaching another gospel. As a student at Dallas Theological Seminary, I attended a satellite church of Andy's. It was a trainwreck. He completely misused John 17 and Hebrews 11. I was deeply saddened because I followed his father Charles, and still watch his sermons today.
There's nothing strange about it. Andy and his father had a contentious relationship, and since the senior Stanley was a fire and brimstone style pastor, the younger(Andy) went far in the opposite direction resulting in this garbage we are seeing coming out of his church. Andy's church is in my backyard and I hate the preaching of Andy because he is becoming more and more heretical and misleading a lot of people in my community which I have a major issue with.
@@reidbartlett3862 Thank you for this info! It reminds me a lot of the TH-cam channels out there. Each of them will get their fanbois, who just nod for every video. I suspect that church goers are the same: they'll not feel the need to leave the church until a problem arises and/or something more fitting of their beliefs comes along. It's super frustrating.
@@JESUSisLORD24151I've heard Charles Stanley's turkey story in a sermon. Don't you think it could have been God's divine intervention for him to be somewhere else when something bad was about to happen?
This is why my dad taught me not to trust just anyone on the internet, or on tv when I was a kid. As a 21 year old now, I pass that wisdom on to myself and to everyone.
I have written this before. I loved listening to Andy back in the 90s. But when he did the sermon when Truthy met Gracie. He had recommended a man who was in a relationship with another man while he was still married to get a divorce. He is proud that these two men are married and serving in his church. And the man’s ex-wife and child comes to the same Church. And is a false teacher. I loved Charles Stanley also But Charles should have rebuked his son 20 years ago. Instead he said he was proud of him. How can you be proud of someone leading thousands to Hell. Or at least pointing thousands towards Hell because of his false teachings.
Agreed. A sad blot on what was otherwise a very fruitful ministry for Charles. Like so many celebrity pastors these days they are stumbling bad near the finish line.
I agree with you.Charles Stanley reminds me of Eli the prophet who refused to rebuke his two wicked sons... Phineas and Hopnie.very sad to see.I really liked Charles Stanley.We are to love the Lord our God far more than our own Children.Thats one test to see if we are in the true faith.!!!!
So many heretics so little time.... literally. 😢 Edit: in that particular word in the Greek..."woe" is actually a curse... So when it is written woe to... What it really means is cursed is. Let that sink in.
That's what happens when you abandon sola scriptura and embrace sola Andy Stanley-a (a more idiotic form of sola ecclesia). Unhitching from scripture casts you theologically adrift and we are just too sinful to figure it out on our own.
Praying for Andy Stanley to be Delivered and Born Again In Jesus' Mighty Name before it is too late & he takes his last breath. Praying for all he has deceived to be Awakened by Holy Spirit to the deception before they take their last breath so they mighty be Delivered and Born Again as well. 😢🙏
I have seen posts of people that knew Andy and tried to talk to him, but got nowhere. At that point, you just need to walk away if someone is not going to listen to soundi instruction. I believe Andy actually does know and wants to twist the gospel to suit his own needs.
This is a good warning for all of us. Whatever we do, don't be the reason for someone to sin. Never endorse it in our own lives, and never endorse it in others.
@@OldcarsNmusic Charles was a big OSAS believer and he often promoted it, so there was plenty wrong with his theology as well. The heresy apple didn't fall far from the heresy tree. Andy is a chip off the proverbial block.

Any man who claims to be a pastor for non-Christians is going to build his "church" on non-Christian beliefs. Having visited one of his branches a few times with a family member(who within the past few months I finally convinced to walk away from there) after I moved to the Atlanta area, it became very clear what his mission is. This man will say whatever it takes to get as many people to show up as possible. He is a shrewd businessman, who has carved a niche for his brand of teaching. He twisted Christianity in this way so the people he attracts don't actually have to believe or do anything Christian. I've said this before, but notice how every single one of his mainline facilities, including the one currently under construction, is placed in a highly affluent area? Guess the less fortunate areas don't need his message for some reason...
May God deal with Andy Stanley according to His will. Let him return/come to Christ if God wills it. Let him be judged according to his deeds as God wills it. As for me, Andy Stanley serves two purposes. First, as a means of sharpening my own discernment skills. Second, as an example of a pastor whose words ooze milk and honey but conceal bitter poison. Apart from a very public repentance, that is all he'll ever be good for in my eyes. May his "ministry" decrease until that time.
Imagine how much confusion was going on before ownership of an actual 66 book bible was not a reality! ( before mass printing) The Holy Spirit as the Teacher is crucial indeed; now as ever!
It's sad to see so many pastors saying things just to keep people in the seats and the money coming in. Jesus said people will worship either God or money. Andy sadly has made his choice.
I went to a church in Northern Virginia that followed Andy Stanley teachings, put him on screen on Sundays, etc. The pastor was all over the place, pretending to be so godly. He hid things that were going on in the church, changed teachings dramatically at the church, and humiliated people in front of the entire church. The final straw for me was how political he was in regard to Israel, even while pretending to be apolitical. He also taught that Christianity was still evolving, and that is why teachings were changing.
Andy’s statement falls apart when you remember that to believe that Jesus was able to resurrect from the dead, you have to first believe He was incarnated as God in the flesh which is a completely different miracle so that makes 3 and on and on it goes as a lot of the miracles are interdependent. Anybody with half a brain could see that Andy’s “2 essential miracles to be a Christian” idea is not only heretical but self-defeating.
I had to watch a video of Andy Stanley’s for school about a year ago. I want my life back. FYI my school showed it to is to prove how he was wrong but still….
This hit my heart dead center, to look at myself and when I'm a stumbling block. While not intentional on my part- my choices can certainly be seen as "that thing" which can and probably has caused others to wobble in their faith. Thank you for this message! I am looking in that mirror and I have changes to make. Immediately! God bless you and may your ministry continue to thrive in Jesus' Mercy, Grace and Wisdom! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
This is not the extent of the reason for Andy's fall, but it's part of it: He's been REBELLING against the Baptists and even his father, for decades. I've seen this with other people, even a recently passed cousin: going the opposite direction because of negative feelings against his deceased father. Andy, Charles and Anna (Andy's late mother) were in counseling but apparently it did no good for Andy. And then there's the psychiatric question...Anna had severe mental issues and Charles even had a few, as he admitted a few times. Is this a psychological issue with Andy now as he's gotten older? (I'm saying all of this as one who once was a BIG fan of Andy's teaching.)
Why not believe in Jesus walking on water when God actually created the universe. Which is harder to believe? If you believe in the creation, you automatically believes in ALL other miracles
Re: Same can be said about OSAS... Not so fast. It's not so much OSAS "that's a given" Have u considered NSIFP. Never saved in the first place? Matt 7:21-23
l highly recommend to everyone book: Your Life Your Game by keezano 🙌 I read it, and it truly changed my life. It shows how connecting with God and your inner self can lead to spiritual growth and financial success. A must-read... God bless 🙏
WARNING: If a teacher uses "God" as a way to get rich in this world, then avoid them like the plague. "Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God CHOSEN THE POOR of this world RICH IN FAITH, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?" (James 2:5). "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." (Colossians 3:2).
The miracle of the resurrection doesn’t happen unless there is a miracle of the incarnation. So if Stanley is looking for a minimal threshold you have to include the incarnation.
There are probably many many mega churches in the Atlanta area seeing as there are 6 million people in the metro area. It would be much better to go to the church pastored by Michael Youseff.
A low view of the Scriptures produces a weak, non-saving gospel, which isn’t gospel at all.
หลายเดือนก่อน
His last podcast he talked about demons and being in a dungeon of hell…. That’s a different direction. He should be cheered anytime he turns the opposite direction. I’m cheering for more God talk….
He is another in a long line of motivational speakers masquerading as pastors, but worse, he is spreading a false gospel. I wonder what sin is pulling him away from God and biblical inerrancy.
Andy did not get his ideas from a stranger. It was his clueless dad helping him in the wrong direction. They agree together. I turn my car-radio off when Stanley came on. Support of the Promise Keepers is one of them. Of course if you are one of his countless victims you will never know. Charles Stanley said that even those who stop believing in Christ cannot be lost. For example Stanley writes: "The Bible clearly teaches that God's love for His people is of such magnitude that even those who walk away from the faith have not the slightest chance of slipping from His hand." p. 74 "The unfaithful believer will not receive a special place in the kingdom of Christ like those who are fortunate enough to be allowed to reign with Him. But the unfaithful believer will not lose his/her salvation." p. 93 "The apostle's meaning is evident. Even if a believer for all practical purposes becomes an unbeliever, his salvation is not in jeopardy. Christ will remain faithful." p.93 "And last, believers who lose or abandon their faith will retain their salvation, for God remains faithful." p. 94. Men, like Charles Stanley, are like a nest of termites. Through neglect, they have been allowed to gnaw at the foundational teachings of Christ until much of the professing church is ready to cave in because it is not based upon the obedience of faith. Contrary to Stanley’s claims: “Jesus warned believers that those who were workers of iniquity (lawlessness) would be rejected on judgement day: "Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY" Matt 7:21-23 (KJV) In a book by Charles Stanley called Eternal Security. In regards to the parable Jesus taught in Matthew 25:14-30, Stanley writes: The final verse of this parable is so severe that many commentators assume it is a description of hell. It is not. (p. 124) Where is this place represented by the “outer darkness” in Jesus’ parable? To be in the “outer darkness” is to be in the kingdom of God but outside the circle of men and women whose faithfulness on this earth earned them a special rank or position of authority. (p. 126) Charles believed that one can earn things in Salvation. It always came out in his sermons. He would be a good catholic priest.
HE is telling us we only have to believe two miracles: the Creation and the Resurrection. Who does he think he is that he can tell GOD what we are to believe or not believe in HIS word?!
Oops! Hit a wrong button! Franklin Graham once rebelled also and now he has a thriving ministry: Samaritan's Purse. You can read his bio, " Rebel with a Cause." A very inspirational book. Pray for Andy Stanley.
I find this video confusing. Andy is saying something about believing in creation and believing in Jesus. You give no context of what was actually being said. I don't know if you have to believe in creation, unless some understanding of the fall and the depravity of man is somehow part of that. But, yes, belief in the resurrection of Jesus is absolutely essential (Romans 10:9).
Remember, Yahweh puts these false teachers in place BECAUSE those who are attending WANT TEACHERS WHO WILL TICKLE THEIR EARS, AND NOT TO LEARN SOUND BIBLICAL DOCTRINE AND THEOLOGY. In Christ Alone, 🙏📖🌾
God has Elect, His Chosen, those He has Predestined for Salvation unto Adoption, from BEFORE The Foundation of the world, before time, ALL over the world, waiting to be regenerated by the HEARING of the WORD, The Gospel, The Good News, to be Born Again and filled with the Holy Spirit, once for all, their heart of stone replaced with a heart of flesh, sins forgiven by the Blood of Christ by His death, Burial, and Resurrection for Original Sin, and our sin, being Sanctified, Justified, and Glorified, by the Sovereign work of our Triune God, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. This is The Gospel of which we have no part but to come when we are called. "My sheep hear my voice, and they come to Me...A stranger's voice they will not follow..." RYB, Read Your Bible! In Christ Alone, Jeff Brownell 🙏📖🌾
The root of the problem is Andy's idea that a bear minimum Christianity is the kind where the most people will be saved... therefore let's shave off everything we possibly can. That's what has pushed him here.
So a person doesn't need to believe that Jesus was born of a virgin conception? Let's put it another way; a person can believe that Jesus was a b*stard child but was able to die for the sins of the world?
I guess Andy Stanley is proof pastors must be called by God, not merely handed the keys to the family business.
Wow, great comment! Very good point! God bless you! ❤

Scripture shows there are many qualifications a pastor must meet.. simply being called by God is not enough.

Loved the "Jack Van Imp" easter egg. Lol 😂
I had to watch a video of Andy Stanley’s for school about a year ago. I want my life back.
FYI my school showed it to is to prove how he was wrong but still….
Andy comes off as a very bitter person. The root of bitterness has truly defiled him.
This hit my heart dead center, to look at myself and when I'm a stumbling block. While not intentional on my part- my choices can certainly be seen as "that thing" which can and probably has caused others to wobble in their faith.
Thank you for this message! I am looking in that mirror and I have changes to make. Immediately!
God bless you and may your ministry continue to thrive in Jesus' Mercy, Grace and Wisdom!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
This is not the extent of the reason for Andy's fall, but it's part of it: He's been REBELLING against the Baptists and even his father, for decades. I've seen this with other people, even a recently passed cousin: going the opposite direction because of negative feelings against his deceased father. Andy, Charles and Anna (Andy's late mother) were in counseling but apparently it did no good for Andy. And then there's the psychiatric question...Anna had severe mental issues and Charles even had a few, as he admitted a few times. Is this a psychological issue with Andy now as he's gotten older? (I'm saying all of this as one who once was a BIG fan of Andy's teaching.)
I don't think Andy was ever regenerated 😐
Some people think critically, some think categorically. This channel seems to favor the later.
Love the beard, Todd!
Why not believe in Jesus walking on water when God actually created the universe. Which is harder to believe? If you believe in the creation, you automatically believes in ALL other miracles
A God who created the laws of nature can suspend those laws when He desires.
Todd, Do you have any thoughts on Currey Blake??
I was also appalled at Dr. Stanley's comment abt. Andy before he grad to Glory, "I,'m proud of you, son", or something to that effect. Shalom.
I haven’t watched in a while and was surprised to see Todd had become Dr. Strange.
Same can be said about OSAS (once saved always saved)
Once truly saved, yes
Re: Same can be said about OSAS...
Not so fast. It's not so much OSAS "that's a given"
Have u considered NSIFP. Never saved in the first place?
Matt 7:21-23
l highly recommend to everyone book: Your Life Your Game by keezano 🙌 I read it, and it truly changed my life. It shows how connecting with God and your inner self can lead to spiritual growth and financial success. A must-read... God bless 🙏
😎👏🏼
Sounds newage.
Or maybe new thought either way not good
WARNING: If a teacher uses "God" as a way to get rich in this world, then avoid them like the plague. "Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God CHOSEN THE POOR of this world RICH IN FAITH, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?" (James 2:5). "Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." (Colossians 3:2).
God isn't a get rich quick scheme, you should repent before it's too late.
Maybe Fish with Trish needs to talk to Andy Stanley and give him a copy of The Biggest Question.
Rexella. 🤣
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Right on the money.
Is the woman in the interview stumbling? Is she growing in her faith? We only see what you assume from the video...
Has Todd ever endorsed a message not by a TULIP?
@@johnnyplunkett8532
Is Ray Comfort a Calvinist?
I'm pretty sure Todd endorses the Way of the Master and Living Waters.
Listen to the BEMA podcast starting from the beginning. It challenges our western lens.
The miracle of the resurrection doesn’t happen unless there is a miracle of the incarnation. So if Stanley is looking for a minimal threshold you have to include the incarnation.
Andy Stanley is true to his master!
Lucifer?
There are probably many many mega churches in the Atlanta area seeing as there are 6 million people in the metro area. It would be much better to go to the church pastored by Michael Youseff.
Thank You Jesus!!!
A low view of the Scriptures produces a weak, non-saving gospel, which isn’t gospel at all.
His last podcast he talked about demons and being in a dungeon of hell…. That’s a different direction. He should be cheered anytime he turns the opposite direction. I’m cheering for more God talk….
He is another in a long line of motivational speakers masquerading as pastors, but worse, he is spreading a false gospel. I wonder what sin is pulling him away from God and biblical inerrancy.
Paul Harvey, good day
Andy did not get his ideas from a stranger. It was his clueless dad helping him in the wrong direction. They agree together. I turn my car-radio off when Stanley came on. Support of the Promise Keepers is one of them. Of course if you are one of his countless victims you will never know.
Charles Stanley said that even those who stop believing in Christ cannot be lost. For example Stanley writes: "The Bible clearly teaches that God's love for His people is of such magnitude that even those who walk away from the faith have not the slightest chance of slipping from
His hand." p. 74
"The unfaithful believer will not receive a special place in the kingdom of Christ like those who are fortunate enough to be allowed to reign with Him. But the unfaithful believer will not lose his/her salvation." p. 93
"The apostle's meaning is evident. Even if a believer for all practical purposes becomes an unbeliever, his salvation is not in jeopardy. Christ will remain faithful." p.93
"And last, believers who lose or abandon their faith will retain their salvation, for God remains faithful." p. 94.
Men, like Charles Stanley, are like a nest of termites. Through neglect, they have been allowed to gnaw at the foundational teachings of Christ until much of the professing church is ready to cave in because it is not based upon the obedience of faith.
Contrary to Stanley’s claims: “Jesus warned believers that those who were workers of iniquity (lawlessness) would be rejected on judgement day: "Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY" Matt 7:21-23 (KJV)
In a book by Charles Stanley called Eternal Security. In regards to the parable Jesus taught in Matthew 25:14-30, Stanley writes:
The final verse of this parable is so severe that many commentators assume it is a description of hell. It is not. (p. 124) Where is this place represented by the “outer darkness” in Jesus’ parable? To be in the “outer darkness” is to be in the kingdom of God but outside the circle of men and women whose faithfulness on this earth earned them a special rank or position of authority. (p. 126) Charles believed that one can earn things in Salvation. It always came out in his sermons. He would be a good catholic priest.
What does Paul say about anyone who preaches another gospel? Galatians 1.
I didn't hear any specifics as to why you did not like Andy's sermon. What was it?
If you can’t take God at His word in one place you can’t take Him at His word in any place
Andy is a disgrace, another rich mega preacher, who is bad!!!
HE is telling us we only have to believe two miracles: the Creation and the Resurrection. Who does he think he is that he can tell GOD what we are to believe or not believe in HIS word?!
Oops! Hit a wrong button! Franklin Graham once rebelled also and now he has a thriving ministry: Samaritan's Purse.
You can read his bio, " Rebel with a Cause." A very inspirational book. Pray for Andy Stanley.
✝️👑
I find this video confusing. Andy is saying something about believing in creation and believing in Jesus. You give no context of what was actually being said. I don't know if you have to believe in creation, unless some understanding of the fall and the depravity of man is somehow part of that. But, yes, belief in the resurrection of Jesus is absolutely essential (Romans 10:9).
Remember, Yahweh puts these false teachers in place BECAUSE those who are attending WANT TEACHERS WHO WILL TICKLE THEIR EARS, AND NOT TO LEARN SOUND BIBLICAL DOCTRINE AND THEOLOGY.
In Christ Alone,

Absolutely 💯 True
If God put him there then why worry? Let him go on doing God's will. Because that is what you are saying. 😊
God has Elect, His Chosen, those He has Predestined for Salvation unto Adoption, from BEFORE The Foundation of the world, before time, ALL over the world, waiting to be regenerated by the HEARING of the WORD, The Gospel, The Good News, to be Born Again and filled with the Holy Spirit, once for all, their heart of stone replaced with a heart of flesh, sins forgiven by the Blood of Christ by His death, Burial, and Resurrection for Original Sin, and our sin, being Sanctified, Justified, and Glorified, by the Sovereign work of our Triune God, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. This is The Gospel of which we have no part but to come when we are called. "My sheep hear my voice, and they come to Me...A stranger's voice they will not follow..."

Andy to Charles Stanley.. Is like Absalom to king David
The root of the problem is Andy's idea that a bear minimum Christianity is the kind where the most people will be saved... therefore let's shave off everything we possibly can. That's what has pushed him here.
So a person doesn't need to believe that Jesus was born of a virgin conception? Let's put it another way; a person can believe that Jesus was a b*stard child but was able to die for the sins of the world?
Is that a "Santa's tree" behind you? In the final video call. It's not the topic of the video, but that's certainly a stumbling block too.
