Watch out for false prophets they come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves



 
For many people the manufacturing and sales of counterfeit consumer goods is a very lucrative business. For others, counterfeit goods bring hunger and misery by shrinking the nation’s workforce, and by endangering the lives of unsuspecting consumers with unsafe goods. But a far greater danger than the mere imitation of material goods is the preaching of the counterfeit gospel of Jesus Christ being delivered by the offspring of Satan disguised as angels of light, bringing misery to people everywhere, right here, and right now, followed by eternal damnation in hell where “their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”
  
Jesus says in Matthew 7: 15-20, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?  Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

The problem among Christians today is that most are Bible illiterate, consequently they are very easily deceived by ravenous Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing waving a Bible in front of their faces convincing them that somehow they have divine authority over them, but in reality they came to steal, kill, and destroy.

These False Teachers love to quote from John 18: 36, where Jesus says, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

They say, Jesus says his kingdom is not of this world, and there is separation of church and state, so we can only preach the gospel, we can’t get entangled in politics, and don’t worry about what is going on in the Public School System, don’t worry about what is going on in Washington DC, don’t worry about homosexuals taking over America alongside Muslims and the criminals element pouring in from all over the world through the Nation’s airports. They say, let’s play church while we wait for Jesus to rapture us out of here and avoid the seven-year tribulation.
 
That is the reason why these milquetoasts will not venture outside the church and confront the wicked as instructed by Jesus in Luke 10:18- 19, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

Jesus did not say to join in with snakes and scorpions, Jesus says to trample on snakes and scorpions by putting on the full armor of God as stated in Ephesians 11- 17, “Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 

Jesus also says in John 6:27, ” Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his SEAL of APPROVAL.”

Jesus did not say that God the Father has placed his SEAL of APPROVAL on Dr. Youssef or on your Pastor or on your Preacher or on your Minister. God the Father has placed his SEAL of APPROVAL on Jesus, thus becoming accredited by God, but instead of following Jesus by obeying his commands as stated in John 14: 23-24, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me”

You follow Dr. Michael Youssef, who is another smooth talking wolf in sheep’s clothing, using the Holy Bible and his man approved Ph.D. college degree in Social Anthropology from Emory University to impress, deceive, and lead thousands upon thousands of multitudes, nations and languages into the vowel of hell, and in direct opposition to what Jesus teaches in John 14:26, “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

There are two very important factors to consider in reference to Dr. Youssef.
Fact one, Dr. Youssef is another self-gagged puppet of the US Government through the IRS 501c3 Tax-Exempt Code, therefore he is prohibited to preach by the IRS against dishonest Politicians, Judges, Mayors, Governors, the biased Mainstream News Media, and against all US Government legalized abomination such as Separation of Church and State, Affirmative Action, Abortion or Murder on Demand, Euthanasia, Divorce, Sodomy, and Same Sex Marriage.

Fact two, Dr. Youssef comes from Egypt, a predominantly Muslin Country under Sharia Law, and where AlTakeyya or Al-taqiyya allows Muslims to lie as a mean to deceive the infidels or unbelievers in order to promote Islam and fight for the cause of Allah.

In order to deceive the infidels, and as long they don’t mean it in their hearts, Muslims are allowed to drink wine, which is strictly forbidden by Islam, Muslims are allowed to   abandon prayers, Muslims are allowed to skip fasting during Ramadan, Muslims are allowed to renounce belief in Allah publicly, Muslims are allowed to kneel in homage to Jesus Christ, and Muslims are allowed to utter false oaths with apparent sincerity. 

Al-Takeyya is based on the Quranic verse Surah 3: 28, “Let not the believers take for friends or helpers unbelievers rather than believers, if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah except by way of precaution (prevention), that ye may guard yourselves from them (prevent them from harming you.) But Allah cautions you to remember Him; for the final goal is to Allah.” 

In other words, Muslims cannot be trusted; they smile outwardly, and appear friendly while inwardly they are full of hate. A highly regarded Sunni scholar recorded that fact for Al Takeyya, “We smile in the face of infidels although our hearts curse them.”
  
Salvation is not found in Islam, neither is found in Communism or in Socialism or in a Democracy or in a Dictatorship or in a Constitutional Monarchy or in a Constitutional Republic, since the whole world is under the wrath of God and destined to eternal damnation in hell, only those that put their trust in Jesus Christ will be saved as stated in John 3:18, “Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”

And if you think that God is unjust, think again! John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”

All you have to do to avoid the wrath of God is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ by obeying his commands, which are not burdensome as stated by Jesus in Matthew 11: 28-30, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Psalm 146:3- 9, “Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them, the LORD, who remains faithful forever. He upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free, the LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous. The LORD watches over the alien and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

Genuine pastors or overseers are not created in colleges and universities; those bearing fancy degrees are experts in bamboozling the lost out of their money in exchange for false promises of God’s favors. According to Jesus Christ, pastors or overseers of the flock are made and appointed by the Holy Spirit as state in Acts 20: 28, “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

In addition, the shepherds of God’s flock must serve, not because they must, but because they are willing, and they must not be greedy for money, not lording it over to those entrusted, as stated by Jesus in Matthew 20: 25-27, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.  Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave”
 
The accusing mark identifying the Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing is their failure to obey the second part of Jesus Christ Great Commission stating, “AND TEACHING THEM TO OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU,” and by refusing to preach against dishonest politicians, judges, mayors, governors, liars, thieves, murderers, adulterers, slanderers, unbelievers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood, and by refusing to preach against all US Government legalized abomination such as Separation of Church and State, Affirmative Action, Abortion or Murder on Demand, Euthanasia, Divorce, Sodomy, and Same Sex Marriage, thus fulfilling the desire of the ancient serpent the devil, or Satan.
  
Certainly, the apostles did not need a Divinity Degrees to act in the name of Jesus. When the authorities had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?” Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people!  If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.  When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
  
Jesus says, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? But Dr. Youssef flaunt his hypocrisy by doing exactly what he accuses others of doing as stated in his website michaelyoussef.com, “As I watched our world and our society plunge into the darkness of deception, I realized there is a desperate need for a biblical orthodox prism through which believers can see world events and political decisions. Many can clearly see how the media and some politicians are devaluing, twisting, and torturing the truth, but feel helpless as to how to respond.”
 
Instead of educating the church in the precepts of God as commanded by Jesus Christ by exposing the evil behind all US Government legalized abomination such as Separation of Church and State, Affirmative Action, Abortion or Murder on Demand, Euthanasia, Divorce, Sodomy, and Same Sex Marriage, Dr Youssef came up with another crafty money making scam that urges those committed to Jesus Christ to unite in   prayer, in humility, and repentance, trusting the Lord to heal our land. 

Dr. Youssef’s prayer request can be compared to someone lying down flat on a busy highway of his own volition, praying to God for safety, and hoping he will not be flattened like a pancake by an 18-wheeler instead of getting out of there.

Likewise, instead of preaching the whole counsel of God, Dr. Youssef uses his accredited Ph.D. college degree in Social Anthropology to fleece the Pew Warming Wimps, not only through tithes and offerings, but also through Stocks/Securities, Donor Advised Funds, IRA Charitable Rollover, Estate Gift/Wills, Charitable Gift Annuity, Charitable Remainder Trust, Charitable Lead Trust, Life Insurance, Retirement Plans, Real Estate, and Business Interests, so Dr. Youssef can travel over land and sea to win converts, making them twice as much as the sons of hell as he is.

The Lord says in Jeremiah 5: 26- 31, “Among my people are wicked men who lie in wait like men who snare birds and like those who set traps to catch men. Like cages full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; they have become rich and powerful and have grown fat and sleek. Their evil deeds have no limit; they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it, they do not defend the rights of the poor. Should I not punish them for this?” declares the LORD. “Should I not avenge myself on such a nation as this? “A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: The prophet’s prophecy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?

These fools live like they will never die and depart from planet earth, in reality they springs up like flowers and they withers away like fleeting shadows, they don’t understand that life on planet earth is only a test conducted by the living God to separate the wicked from the righteous. The world is the stage and every single individual on the face of the earth is being watched and his deeds are being recorded in his personal dossier filed at the moment of birth, and kept securely by the living God who says in Isaiah 66:1, “This is the one I esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.”

The fact is that these Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing have introduced false teachings bringing the way of truth into disrepute. Blinded by greed, these fools don’t realize that when they omit or twist the truth in order to deceive, steal, defraud, or falsely accuse their fellow man for monetary gain, they just keep heaping God’s judgment upon themselves, as stated in Deuteronomy 7: 9- 11, “Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. But those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction; he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.” 

And immediately after they leave this world, these fools will find themselves in the presence of the living God, as the heavenly court review all the evil and all the suffering they have caused their entire lives with Satan at their side accusing them, and since they have rejected Jesus Christ and his saving grace they will be thrown into gloomy dungeons to be held for the day of judgment. 

 Man's common afflictions such as death, mourning, crying and pain, began in the garden of Eden with one act of deception followed by one act of disobedience, which continues uninterrupted to this very day, and will continue tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and the following day, and so on, until Jesus Christ return to earth as promised, with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him. *

As stated in Revelation 20: 11-15, “ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.  And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.   The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. IF ANYONE’S NAME WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, HE WAS THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE” 

They have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and now they are again entangled in it and defeated. They are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It is better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to know it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “a sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”
    
And they will have the greatest shock of their lives when they hear Jesus say to them as recorded in Matthew 7: 21-23, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’  

                                                              Amen!!!

    2. There is not a person on this planet who has the right to “speak for God.“ And anybody who does this is a narcissistic fool. Why can’t God speak for himself? In the Bible was not written by Jesus it was written by human beings and there are so many versions of it that you have no idea which version is the right one. There are 6000 versions of Mark, and 500 versions each of Matthew Mark Luke & Acts. Paul never met Jesus and was even called a ConMan and a liar by people who knew him. All of these preachers are in the business of lying, and censoring what is actually in the Bible and none of them can tell you who wrote it the Bible or when it was put together, especially the king James version which was stuck together by a committee of white men voting on a pile of christian Documents they could barely read themselves and 1611 a day in Europe. Jesus did not speak English either. And there’s no proof that Jesus Mary Joseph Peter Paul the apostles the disciples existed. Matthew Mark Luke and John did not write Matthew Mark Luke and John, these names were pulled out of a hat and given to some documents in order to separate them. There is now overwhelming evidence that it was the Flavian family of Caesars, Flavian Josephus, and members of the Calpurnius Piso Family who wrote the Gospels and created imaginary Jesus to trick the Jews into believing that a proRoman Messiah had come who told him to stop warring against the Romans instead of waiting for a “warrior Messiah” as had been prophesies in the Old Testament. There is nothing about Jesus that fits the Old Testament “warrior Messiah” prophecies…. But since Christians have a way of just making things up, and especially Pagan Emperor Constantine, One primary version of Jesus did not arrive until about the fourth century A.D.

  6. You're accusing a man that is preaching about discernment as being a false prophet...

    The religious leaders did the same thing to Jesus when they accused him of casting out demons with the power of demons....

    House divided and all that...

    Just cuz someone becomes popular in this world doesn't mean that they did so by being a part of it... but because their faithfulness to God has allowed him to take them further.

  7. Pastor Youseff is a man of God and I pray that he continues on his mission to convert Muslims to Christians. He is passionate about God and preaches with such devotion, he doesn't sugar coat things as he says, he tell it like it is. He is not afraid to talk about hell, but he also talkes about grace, forgiveness, the cross, and how we should be faithful to the one above. May God bless you and may he give you the discerment you need before judging others.

  8. Does he say tithing is a commandment? The new testament, which is the law we are under today,does not comma this. We are commanded to give with a cheerful heart not grudgingly. It was a command under the mosaic law. So if he teaches tithing today, then yes, he is teaching contrary to the Lord s word. Therefore I would search the scriptures carefully, just like the b
    Berians did, to see if he is professing things contrarytogod s word

    1. I completely agree, Julia. This post actually implies that Dr. Youssef is a Muslim (wolf) in Christian (sheep) clothing, and nothing could be further from the truth. If one researched his life story, it is clear that he came from a Christian family, and became very serious about Christ at age 17. The posts' accusations are totally unfounded and, in actuality, are completely easily deemed false. Dr. Youssef often preaches against ALL the topics the writer states Dr. Y neglects to even mention, and does so at his and the church's own peril. He is one of the most outspoken biblically based ministers I have ever heard preach consistently, and the great Christian leaders of more recent times, such as Charles Spurgeon, are often quoted. He boldly uses complete scripture passages, and has no issue speaking of sin, and that sin is really the proof of our need for Christ as Savior. He ALWAYS points to Christ, not self, as THE ONE to be worshipped and glorified. All one has to do to check my claims against those in this post's is to go to www.apostles.com to listen to any of Dr. Youssef's sermons.

I fear that poor Henry is a tad jealous of the large following Dr. Youssef has acquired by committed Christians like myself who have been long 'steeped in the word', are familiar with the scriptures and glean even more understanding when they watch the good Dr. on TV. I have marveled at the Egyptian-born Dr.'s excellent grasp of the English language and pronunciation. Henry has mocked the Dr.'s educational background, but I dare say that the Dr. would rather be 'caught dead' than to publish an article with as many spelling errors as Henry's.

  17. Henry... it is obvious that discernment is not one of the spiritual gifts that God has given to you. I spend most of my day researching the charlatans of Christianity, and I've only come across two preachers who actually preach scripture the way that it reads. Youssef and Charles Stanley.

    John 7:24 King James Bible
    Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

    You have disobeyed Christ's words when you judge Youssef to be a Muslim with a hidden agenda, just because he comes from Egypt.

    Then you quote scripture out of context:
    Jesus says, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

    The rest of the passage says:
    5“You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

    Another statement of Jesus that encourages how we are to judge. Take the blinders of Satan off your head, Henry.

  21. Although I can agree with most of this post, aI find it alarming that one has to take to bashing Muslims to prove his point. I will say this: I am one of those whom most fundementalist Christians as "pagan". I am a Muslim. I have studied the subject of "allowable" lying. It is no where found within the tenants of the Hadiths that Sunni Muslims follow. It is a Shia thing. Just like they lie to our government about their nuclear program. I am one of those that believe that the Shia are not real Muslims. Much like some baptists and others don't believe that Catholics are Christians.

  22. What a waste of time and nonsense is this blog. I have been listening to Youssef for a while and I can't see any of your false claims. I do disagree with individuals creating an industry of evangelism and promoting their sons through it and selling all kinds of merchandise like Hollywood movies. I am sure that is wrong. When you preach Christ, you preach Christ alone. And Youssaf is doing that part right. And he is calling a spade a spade. He can clearly see the enemy and calls it one. There's no sugar coating and all that 'prosperity' nonsense. He is no wolf in sheep's clothing. Sometimes I wonder at today's evangelism though. I have seen missionaries suffer hunger and beatings and set on fire and walking around barefoot since they can't afford one. they die unheard. You can 'see' Christ there, but not in this American-style evangelism. But of the lot Youssef seems the best bet.

It’s good that many people, of faith but not of religion, have relationships with God independent of some body of texts written thousands of years ago with dubious fidelity to their original sources. You all worship a text. Some of us have an actual relationship with a greater being. But we understand that your relatively less intellectual minds need such worship, just as children need cartoon characters to like and as simpletons need NFL teams to support, all decked out in their favorite team’s jerseys, etc. Yeah Bible!

Speaking in new tongues? A tongue that nobody understands can't be from the Holy Spirit. Making noises that are unintelligible and incomprehensible are from evil spirits.

    1. It’s spelled “judgement”.

      Listen: have you ever noticed that when your flatus begins to smell really strong and really bad, that very soon you need to have a bowel movement? Yeah.

      And guess what - my flatus has begun to smell like a cross between scrambled eggs and peanut butter. I had better make sure there’s plenty of toilet paper 🧻 available.

      Here is a covid era tip: after I go number two, I put a pump of hand sanitizer on a wad of toilet paper and I wipe with that. It burns a little bit at first, but my bottom has never been so clean! Say goodbye to Stinky A$$ Syndrome, and no more skid marks in your underwear!

      God bless you all.

  29. I have really loved Dr. Youssef's preaching. Unfortunately, when I heard him tell unbelievers to "repent of their sins" I turned the video off. Here's why. The word Repent or Repentance appears 111 times in the Bible. 46 of those times is in the Old Testament, where the Bible says GOD repented 28 times. God cannot sin so he could not possibly have been repenting of his sins! Repent means to "turn" or to "change your mind". You want an unsaved person to turn from their faith in dead works to faith in Jesus' finished work on the cross--Death, Burial, and Resurrection. Cleaning up their lives before salvation is unscriptural. "All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags". Once we are In Christ, taking on His righteousness, we should put away the old man and put on the new.
    We can't enter into a 12 step program, clean ourselves up and then come to Christ for salvation. We are cleaning our selves with filthy rags--it's not doing any good at all. He, and He alone will cleanse.

  30. This article is SIN, quite frankly. I don't know anything about Michael Youssef and have never heard him preach. But I came across your article slandering the man as a heretic without providing any proof, accusing him of being a Muslim in disguise without providing any proof. Where is your proof of these allegations? You can't just decide one day, "I think I'll write a scathing rebuke of someone I don't like" without providing specific examples and evidence to back up your claims of why this person is a heretic.

    I'm a blog writer also, and I write articles about wolves in sheep's clothing all the time - however, I at least provide proof to back up my claims - links to written or video evidence of the heresy of the particular wolf I'm exposing. You haven't done that. You've only used up a lot of words to condemn a man without telling (or showing) anyone WHY he's a wolf.

    The Lord rebuke you. You need to repent.

  31. Your Biggest Doctrinal Error in your critique stems from your statement, "All you have to do to avoid the wrath of God is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ by obeying his commands". Not once did I read where you referenced The Bible's call for Repentance. Not once did I read where you referenced Ephesians and Galatians as your statement promoted Legalism in its trampling under foot the Sovereign Work of GOD (calling, repentance, regeneration, sanctification, and finally glorification, "All you have to do to avoid the wrath of God is to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ by obeying his commands", so I gather you are a "birth-yourself hard-shell Armenian on a rant?" Sorry, but the human race "dead in trespasses and sin" can do nothing apart from GOD's Grace in regenerating a "spiritually dead person" into a New Creation (Galatians 2:20). Am I defending Youssef? Not necessarily. Salvation is not "something we do", rather ALL CREDIT, ALL GLORY goes to The Triune GOD for "Salvation is of the Lord." Not of works lest any boast. We rightfully boast of Christ alone, for our own righteousness is as "menstrual rags" apart from HIS Righteousness given us as an unmerited gift to HIS Elect by Christ's finished work.

  32. I do not see any proof that he is still a Muslim. This is a very biased post. I did, just today, tell him (Youssef) on FB that I got an email where ehe is promoting his podcast with Alexa. I have better discernment than to go get an Alexa for ANY reason. Especially after I read someone asked it who Jesus was and it claimed ignorance, but knows Buddha. SMH.

  34. I have listened to him a few times and have never ever heard anything contrary to God's Word .

    Tithing is not legalism. Abraham, Jacob gave God a 10th before the Law was established. Malachi states God's people robbed Him of tithes and offerings. Jesus said to the pharisee, that he should not have neglected tithing and mercy too.

    When he mentions "Jesus Christ to unite in prayer, in humility, and repentance, trusting the Lord to heal our land. " he's actually quoting 2 Chronicles 7:14 - if my people should humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and forgive their sins and heal their land." I don't know how if you are a true Christian could have missued that.

    In addition I suspect ALL pastors/preachers in America were muzzled by the law that forbids them to speak their political mind, until Trump changed that.

    Your post is not biblical but sounds like the accuser of the brethren, pointing the finger. You give no real examples at all, just quoting scriptures, like the enemy did to Jesus.


    The Lord has allowed me to operate in the gift of discernment and truly
    I exhort you to humble yourself before the Lord and examine your heart.There is something wrong with your heart therefore you eye is wrong.

  35. Just looked again at your post and I have to say your heart is not right and not seeing the truth.

    I don't know what avenue the enemy used to blind you, maybe pride , but if you truly truly want to see right, ask the Lord to create in you a clean heart and be humble enough to admit that you might be wrong, no matter how many verses you can quote.

    There is a wrong spirit in your words

    Youssef is an incredible man of God that does completely opposite to what you say in this article. Not only does he preach the gospel, he preaches right down to the nitty gritty which is so rare to find in a pastor! His sermons have made me so uncomfortable in my sin they have led me to repentance and help me walk in purity! Im praying for you brother that you have a revelation of the love of Christ for your brothers and sisters.

  38. Youseff, is a no holds barred anti Islam bible believing Christian of the highest stature.

    To suggest he uses Taqiyya in his sermons and is a Muslim, is ridiculous. He preaches a non watered down version of the Gospel.

    I am not a bible illiterate and I watched him very closely before I stated to listen to his sermons.

    You have done yourself a great injustice by putting him down. I think you should read his books and I am sure you will change your mind.

    That is indeed you are a true Christian yourself. I pray you are and do as you are missing a great man of God by not including him in your journey.

  41. Sir
    I have been a member of Church of the Apostles for about 12 years now. You are quite frankly wrong about your comments about Dr. Youssef.You will never meet a more devoted man that speaks against all sin and in contrast the love we should all have towards Jesus Christ as God our Savior.

    You mentioned that he does not speak against government officials, and the gay agenda. I would say to you to check the archive's of His past sermons.

    Did you know he takes no money from all the books he writes. I speak to him from time to time and if you did as I have you r Spirit would bear witness that indeed the Gospel is his for most concern and the love and passion of His life.
    I have learned through him that the Gospel of the Kingdom and being completely sold out to the mission of promoting God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ is the pinnacle of our obedience as Sons and daughters in God's service in this life.

    Yes sir I think you are wrong about this man. I wish more could be so devoted.
    Please continue your research and comment again.

  42. I am the person in my circle of family and friends who is considered the "watchdog" concerning false teachers and doctrines. I am well-studied and do a lot of research on mega church pastors and what they preach.

    I have not listened much to Dr. Youssef, admittedly, but what I've heard so far does not bring up any red flags. Nor do I see anything in this article that is pointing specifically to false teaching by Dr. Youssef. It is a great deal of nothing more than assumption.

    Instead, what I see is a push by the writer toward salvation by works rather than faith and repentance. We are not talking about living faith after salvation (James 3) -- but saving faith.

    What I see by this writer is troubling. Apparently, no Muslim can be trusted? By your words, if he is born Muslim, it does not matter if he had a genuine salvation experience... He cannot be trusted.

    I stopped reading after that, because it was clear that YOUR words cannot be trusted. If I had the time, I could probably look into your writing and break it down further. But I've seen enough. The Bible is clear -- specifically -- on what defines a false teacher, and it has nothing to do with taxes.

    1. The writer didn't say anything about works contingent for salvation. You are totally misconstruing his righteous indictment of Youssef. You are obviously one of the masses that are on the broad road. Works you say. So the gps positioning of your backside on Sundays in the vain hope of not being burned up on Judgment Day isnt a work? Your Sunday observance to look good to all the goats in the goat pens called church isnt a "work"? So getting down on your knees to pray is a "work"???

    Watch out folks!
    Distracting us from real wolves-in-sheep-costume, plus blatant false accusation immediately in the very title, plus racism, plus you Henry Asta being the wolf-in-sheep-costume, trying to pull off teaching opposite of truth in the Bible!!! One example of one issue, racism: just because he is from Egypt, and even if majority are muslim, does not make him muslim, regardless if he ever was or never was, doesn't matter. Ever! (John 8:36- whom the Lord has set free, is free indeed; and Galatians 3:28, we are no longer one thing or another, but all one in our Lord Jesus Christ). Another example, and you said: "exposing the evil behind all US Government legalized abomination such as Separation of Church and State, Affirmative Action, etc, etc..." Jesus Himself told us His Kingdom is NOT of this world, (John 18:36) but Governments ARE about this world and we are to obey our Government rulers (Romans 13:17) and "to render unto Caesar things that are Caesar's (taxes) and render to God that pertaining to God...(Matthew 22), that IS separation of church and state buddy! Other things you say need to be exposed ARE exposed already and don't need Pastors going on hate trips as you say they should. Stop your slander against Pastor Michael Youssef!

  48. The rambling in this post is baseless, incoherent, and makes no sense. How can you label Dr. Michael as a "wolf" simply because he is originally from a Muslim country? Are you suggesting that a Muslim cannot be genuinely saved if he/she accepts the Lord Jesus Christ? The fact that Dr. Youssef (who was born in a Muslim country) is a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is a powerful testimony to the power of the Gospel to save anybody who believes in Jesus Christ, including muslims. Jesus died for all human beings, including Muslims. God loves all muslims, and His desire is that everyone one of them should be come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved. There are many muslims who have been saved in Christ. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to save anyone who believes in Christ (Romans 1:16). The Bible says: "God is no respecter of persons, but in every nation, whoever fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable by Him." (Acts 10:34-35). So, God does not discriminate against people based on their country of origin. For the writer of this blog to question Dr. Youssef's sincerity as a man of God is shameful and beyond despicable. Any true believer in Christ who listens to Dr. Youssef should have no difficulty figuring out that Dr. Youssef is a genuine man of God.

  50. The originator of this thread is 100% off-base! Michael Youssef is a wonderful man of the Gospel Of Jesus! He is a Christian man of the absolute highest integrity. He is Egyptian, but has never been a Muslim. His Father and Mother were devoted Christians in a Muslim nation. He became a US citizen in the 1970’s. His entire life is a testimony to the calling of God on this man. His ministry, Leading the Way, has brought the Gospel of Jesus to literary millions of Muslims living throughout the Middle East using the Kingdom Satellite technology. His preaching and teaching is translated to more than a dozen Arab language dialects every week. Michael Youssef is truly a man of God and our brother in Christ Jesus.

  52. Michael Youssef uses the trick of Christian blackmail threats and extortion telling people they’re going to go to hell if they don’t believe in imaginary Jesus and God. This is disgusting especially since Christians have no idea we’re hell is, and they can’t even prove it exists. But that’s how he makes his money by scaring people.
