I glimpse into the utter depravity of NAR teachers...

::::::::

"All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. For "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof." If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. But if someone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience" I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks? So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Give no offense to Jews or to Greeks or to the church of God, just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage, but that of many, that they may be saved. - 1Corinthians 10:23-33 (ESV)

Bunni Pounds is a NAR dominionist and failed Republican Congressional candidate from Texas. She took the lemons from that failure however and made the lemonade of becoming a leading heretical voice within the apostate church when it comes to mixing the profane of politics with the holiness of God. The above linked article is the latest from Pounds on Charisma News where she lies and distorts scripture to try and continue selling the NAR false theology about nationalism instead of the gospel. So let us reason once more together beloved:

"The recent election has left us with many lessons that I think we need to think about"particularly for the body of Christ. In this critical moment, I believe God is speaking clearly to us as Christ-followers who are engaged in the culture, highlighting the importance of the work we are doing and the direction we must take as we move forward in both ministry and service to others and our personal commitment to Jesus. We saw many incredible victories around the nation as Bible-believing Christians were elected or reelected to office. People who honor the sanctity of human life, protecting our children and grandchildren from harmful ideologies and policies, and those who seek to promote religious freedom won in many cases. Our organization, Christians Engaged, saw many victories as we mobilized more than 850,000 Christian voters in this election and every election in the future. What we are building together offers a distinct approach to civic engagement, one that combines faith with action. As we reflect on the election, we must continue to be challenged to move forward and see how God can even use us in a greater way. Here are the key things I think this election experience taught us that we, as Christians, need to cling to for the future." - Bunni Pounds

That aint God speaking to you Bunni. If it were, He would tell you to stop butchering His word to defend a convicted rapist. Demanding cultural engagement under the guise of piety is not "ministry" and does not show any personal commitment to Jesus. It shows the only true commitment you have ever shown and that is to the Republican Party. Bible believing Christians? Like whom? You were supporting Mark Robinson in all likelihood until it was revealed that this alleged "Christian" was posting all over a porn site about how he liked slavery and called himself a Nazi. This is the sleight of hand the NAR uses. If someone pays lip service to the bible but their lives do not line up with it, we are told that we are not looking at character, only policy. Right. So, let us get right into her five false messages she is trying to sell the apostate church she is a leader in.

"1. Prayer is powerful; it cannot be an afterthought. First and foremost, God hears our prayers, and He answers them. But prayer cannot be something we do only in emergencies. What if prayer became our lifestyle? What if our churches returned to being true "houses of prayer"?

In Mark 11:15-17, Jesus cleared the temple, declaring that His house should be called a "house of prayer for all nations." We must reflect on this, not just as a call to action for our churches but as a personal challenge for our individual lives. Prayer can transform us and our nation. If we allow God to use us in the place of prayer, the results can be extraordinary. Isaiah 56:6-8 reminds us that God's house is a place for all nations, and those who love Him and serve Him will find joy in His presence. We need to cultivate this atmosphere of prayer in our lives, our homes and our churches, thinking outside of our individual lives, praying for our nation and all nations for God to move. As we prepare for the upcoming election cycle, let us remember that prayer is not just a tool for each election, but also a spiritual practice that nurtures revival ongoing." - Bunni Pounds

The type of person Jesus cleared out of the temple was the exact type of person Pounds insisted Christians should vote for. This is the inherent disconnect people like Pounds from the NAR suffer from. As a former Republican candidate, Bunni has transposed her party for her religion. That is not a faith issue but rather a political one. It blinds her to who she advocates for because at the end of the day she is an idolator selling idolatry. This idol worship also blinds her from seeing that citing Isaiah 56 is contradicted by the hatred she represents politically. So, the church is the place for all nations but the country she envisions is not for all nations? Yeah, that does not sound terribly biblical or consistent. When Pounds is selling prayer, she means for Republican candidates. Let Stephen Miller's will be done, not necessarily God's. The bible is clear that there are false christs and false gospels. This nationalistic, American white Jesus is simply not the Jesus of the bible. Bunni Pounds represents the same attitude that turned Mary away to the manger. In her mind and the collective minds of the NAR, they prayed to their false Jesus and because they got the electoral carnal victory they prayed for - viola! God must have willed their victory because of their prayers! Yeah, no. Praying for a man who lies about our Christian brothers and sisters eating pets does not compel God to make sure he is elected. Like Israel before us, the apostate church demanded a king. God was very clear to them about what this king would do and they said - give us our king! So, God relented and gave them the desires of their wicked hearts. What Bunni Pounds gushes as answered prayers is actually the judgment of God.

"2. Taking ownership of discipleship. Another critical lesson from this election is that Gen X (ages 45-64) played a decisive role in the outcome, shifting the election with a remarkable 10-point swing. The call is clear: We, as the generation of mature believers, must rise to the occasion becoming spiritual mothers and fathers to the next generation. We must take ownership of discipleship in our families and our churches, and we must become leaders in our communities. The other generations need us to be who we are called to be. This is not just a call for political action; it is a spiritual imperative. In 1 Corinthians 4:14-16, Paul urges us to imitate him as he imitates Christ. This is not just a call to discipleship but also to leadership. We are to be spiritual guides, mentors and protectors for the generations coming behind us. Specifically, Gen Z needs our wisdom, our faith and our example." - Bunni Pounds

There is a great rebuke from Jesus to the teachers of His day. He said that they travel the world to make a single convert and in doing so they make him twice the son of hell that they are! Forget about taking ownership of discipleship Bunni. You need to give ownership of your doctrine to God first. Stop chasing carnal idols and political bags of thirty silver pieces. You think demanding the votes of Christians for a convicted rapist is "imitating Christ?" Her abuse of this scripture is absolutely staggering. This verse has absolutely nothing to do with politics or leadership in politics. It has nothing to do with leadership either. In fact, if she had bothered to approach the bible to properly divide the word instead of serve her carnality, she would realize that 1Corinthians 11:1 more properly belongs with the preceding text that finished the previous chapter. I have made those scriptures the key verses above. Remember that the chapter divisions were not added until thousands of years after the scriptures were written. So, reviewing the key verses we see that Paul is speaking about building people up, not seeking our own good, looking after the good of our neighbor - the polar opposite of the political platform Bunni Pounds insists are a Christian imperative. These key verses also teach us to not burden the lost with our religiosity, as Pounds is known to do through her political idolatry. How does the chapter conclude? Why does Paul teach this? So that many might be saved! Not for his own advantage! That is what he is referring to when he says imitate me as I imitate Christ. Because Bunni Pounds and the NAR cannot see their own idolatry, they think that imitating Christ means to aspire to political leadership. How disgusting.

"3. Embrace authenticity in a culture of deception. The election revealed something profound: People are hungry for authenticity. Even with imperfections in our candidates, voters gravitated toward those who were real and transparent. The new media landscape has furthered this shift, as "truth-tellers-- though imperfect"gained the trust of the people. As Christians, we must ask ourselves: Are we living authentically? Can people see our integrity, both in public and private? Another question for us is this: Are we seeing through the deceptions around us and seeking out authentic leadership even though imperfect? Second Peter 2:17-22 warns against the deceptions of false teachers with empty promises and empty words. In a world filled with deceit, it is essential that we, as Christians, embody the truth and remember that our witness matters. The world is watching, and authenticity is one of the most powerful tools we have in sharing the gospel." - Bunni Pounds

This is hysterical. Authenticity in a culture of deception? Donald Trump told over 30,000 lies in his first presidency. He told the Haitian pet eating lie in a nationally televised debate. He is the literal embodiment of the culture of deception, yet Pounds cannot see it because he has the little "r" next to his name. The people she fancies as truth tellers are anything but and she knows it. They confirm her bias, so they are cool. See your integrity? Is she serious? Is it living authentically to lie over and over again and tell people they are going to hell if they vote democratic or even if they were not going to vote at all? She is writing this article on Charisma News! Does she honestly think that Charisma embodies the truth? The world is watching Bunni! That is why 40 million people have left the church in the last 25 years! They see this gaslighting for what it is. You defend the most corrupt liar in the history of politics, pretend he is the second coming of King Jehu, and consign to hell anyone who will not vote for him and THEN lecture about integrity, honesty and our witness for Christ? You have no authenticity, Bunni. You have no integrity. You need to hear the gospel. Not the gospel of the Republican Party mind you, but the gospel of the Jesus you have yet to actually meet.

"4. Spiritual change Is at the heart of civic engagement. What sets Christians Engaged apart from other political organizations is our focus on spiritual transformation over electoral victories. While we do seek to influence the political landscape, our primary goal is revival, a deep, lasting awakening that begins in our hearts. We must not just talk about revival; we must live it. Psalm 85:1-13 speaks of God's desire to restore us, to bring peace and righteousness to our land. Revival is not just about external change; it is about internal transformation. If we want revival in our families, churches and communities, it must start within us. We must return to the simplicity of walking with Jesus and living out our faith in every area of life." - Bunni Pounds

This sure sounds nice and pious but the only way we get to this NAR vision of revival is by voting for Republicans. That's it. Doesn't matter who they are. Doesn't matter what they have done. Grab women by their genitals? Hey we aren't voting for a pastor in chief! Convicted of rape and 34 other felonies? Don't judge! Psalm 85's peace and righteousness are not achievable by defending the indefensible. True spiritual change has NOTHING to do with civic engagement except for preaching the gospel. The problem for Pounds and the NAR is they pay lip service to the things of Christ and His gospel but their actions reveal the idolatry they cannot see. It is easy to say, shucks, we just have to walk with Jesus! Yet this article stands next to articles on Charisma today promoting TD Jakes, Isaiah Saldivar, the heretical series The Chosen, and Cindy Jacobs representing 60 other false prophets. She is not walking with Jesus to begin with. She is selling her politics and pretending that it's all about Jesus. Be not deceived.

"5. The church must be strengthened for the challenges ahead. One troubling trend is the seeming slight decline in evangelical voter participation. Born-again evangelicals now make up only 22% of the electorate, down from 26% in 2016. Though we saw growth in Christians voting in the Catholic communities, Pentecostal and charismatic churches, Black and Hispanic populations and even Gen Z males shifting to a more conservative stance, we saw decline in the white evangelical Bible-believing voters overall running to the polls. Despite major victories for the pro-life communities like the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many Christians did not turn out to vote in the numbers many hoped for. It seems clear that many in the church still have trouble making political decisions, not understanding that every vote is not for perfect people but for better policies. Apathy still has a stranglehold on the body of Christ, and we have much more work to do." - Bunni Pounds

Ahh, the old "we are not voting for perfect people" nonsense. The actual translation of this faux-Christianese is "vote for the rapist." Look beloved, no one is suggesting perfect people because there is no such thing. We can have standards though. We do not have to have the world look at us sideways because we fawn over someone who is so clearly evil. Bunni Pounds and the NAR do not care who the church gets into bed with, as long as they are Republican. The truly profound disconnect here is the NAR notion that not voting or not voting for the Republican somehow equals "apathy" from Christians. The truth is exactly the opposite. It is the NAR and the false theology of people like Bunni Pounds that has a stranglehold on the body of Christ. Even the "major victories" have been nothing of the sort. The abortion rates have increased since Roe was overturned. Good job. Only the arrogance of the NAR dominionist thinks that someone choosing to not for their rapist in chief means they must be having trouble making political decisions. Mercifully, Pounds concludes:

"Matthew 7:21-28 reminds us that not everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven. It is not enough to profess faith; we must also live it out. As we move forward, we must ensure that we are firmly planted on the rock of Christ, living authentically and engaging in spiritual disciplines that will strengthen us in the days ahead. From a point of spiritual strength, we engage with the culture, become leaders in our communities and are not afraid to take on the hard topics and stand up for truth. As we reflect on the election, we are reminded of our calling to be spiritually grounded, authentic and passionate about the work of revival above everything else. We saw some incredible victories this election cycle, but our work is never done to impact America. We must ensure that we are truly God's people, living in integrity and walking closely with Him. The call to be spiritual mothers and fathers is upon us. Each generation must rise to the occasion. Let's keep doing the work of the ministry"pray, vote and engage." - Bunni Pounds

What absolute heresy. The reason why Matthew 7 says that people will say Lord Lord is not because they did not engage culture. What garbage. Do not miss how Bunni Pounds is redefining salvation here. It is not enough to profess faith? Instead, we must somehow be living it out and that has some kind of political and cultural interpretation? That is what salvation means to Bunni Pounds? How revolting and unscriptural. She pretends to stand up for the truth by demanding votes for an abject liar? Her hypocrisy is astounding but she cannot see it because of her rampant idolatry. She cannot even see that she now has declared voting and the engagement with culture politically as "ministry.' That tells us all we need to know about the sheer carnality of her theology and the depth of her idolatry.
