There's no such thing as absolute plausible deniability.
When a confirmed picture of TD Jakes and P. Diddy Combs shows up, at first, no one is really concerned. The picture seems to be an innocent picture, but later on, all of these allegations appear.
Many will say that we shouldn't say anything at all. But wait. How are we to judge this?
With Scripture so we that's in Christ won't sin against God. Liars and slanderers will never use Scripture except Matthew 7:1 and John 8 ONLY. Don't judge and don't throw stones.
It's a shame that sinners remember these two Scriptures in Bible Study, but they've never read "Go. And sin no more." Or "Take the plank out of your own eye before you remove the speck from your brother's eye."
Or "Abstain from the appearance of evil."
The slander gives the appearance that something happened but it's not confirmed. Whether it happened or not, it's a good example not to be found fellowshipping with the ungodly in anyway, unless you're sharing Christ with the ungodly.
Ephesians 5:11-13 (NKJV)
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light."
Has anyone noticed that the way Christian news is now reported, that it's like the National Enquirer. The Globe and other salacious newspapers that mirror scandalous events of the elites the way they do it over in England?
The scandalous, the better.
Now mind you, that Jakes is no "Boy Scout."
Remember. He vouched for president Obama's practice of Christianity and wrote a letter condemning anyone that questioned the president's Christianity.
In 2008, while running for president, Obama mentioned his unquestioned support for homosexuality and abortion after the South Carolina primaries. Jakes, as a Board Member of the Faith Based Initiatives in the White House for Obama, revealed his true character as far as the gospel is concerned.
Jakes interview with the Huffington Post and various sit downs with Oprah Winfrey, which is all on YouTube, further solidifies his unequivocal support for the very things that the Bible said is an abomination.
To play on the world stage, you must bow at the altar of satan and pledge allegiance and loyalty to satan. You can't support God. You can talk about God, but you must never be loyal to God.
You can't serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:24 (NKJV) “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
Jakes is worth millions of dollars and like the rich young ruler, you're faced with....."Sell all that you have, give alms to the poor, take up your cross, and follow Me."
It's either sell all that you have. Or save all that you desire.
Mark 8:34-37 (NKJV) "When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"
How can you support a president that supports the killing of babies and the vile sin of homosexuality?
Can a professed preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ appear to be in agreement with any party, Republican or Democrat, where the murder of innocent babies, and homosexuality is a part of their platform?
Yes. But here's the problem. You're now an enemy of God.
James 4:4 (NKJV) "Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God."
The Lord demands no other lovers.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (NKJV)
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols?
For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will dwell in them
And walk among them.
I will be their God,
And they shall be My people.”
Therefore
“Come out from among them
And be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean,
And I will receive you.”
“I will be a Father to you,
And you shall be My sons and daughters,
Says the LORD Almighty.”
The thing about the gospel of Jesus Christ is that the Lord takes no prisoners when it comes to sin. Grace isn't given to continue in sin, let alone support it.
Romans 6:1-2 (NKJV) "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?"
The Lord warned that these days would come. Paul further warned us that these days would appear.
Many will give Jakes the benefit of the doubt. Remember. Unconfirmed reports is not the final word. But even before the P. Diddy photo, Jakes was already an enemy of the cross by agreeing with the sin of homosexuality and his support of former president Obama regarding abortion, the murder of innocent babies.
Jakes' complicity puts him squarely against the Word of God.
Jakes other places of confirmed false preaching is His Oneness modalism beliefs, prosperity teaching, and self help sermons.
Ephesians 5:3-7 (NKJV) "But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Therefore do not be partakers with them."
Now many will assume that Jakes was witnessing to P. Diddy.
Is there any evidence? Plus, how can you witness Christ to someone when you're preaching false doctrine?
How can you command someone to repent of sin when you support the sin of homosexuality and murdering babies?
Matthew 7:15-23 (NKJV) “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
We're living in an hour where the evil men and imposters are among the sheep.
2 Timothy 3:13 (NKJV) "But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived."
Notice the word "imposter." It's defined from Strong's Concordance as.........
"g1114. γόης goēs; from γοάω goaō (to wail); properly, a wizard (as muttering spells), i.e. (by implication) an imposter: — seducer."
Jakes and others possess excellent oratory skills that's necessary to deceive the gullible. Sadly, folk are gullible. If a person, with great oratory skills uses words and personality to deceive you, this is what we see with the likes of Jakes and others.
When it comes to false doctrine, the "wizard" mutters "spells."
They seduce the unsuspecting with the intent to deceive. They see the effects that they have on the gullible and without a fight, he has you convinced that what he's telling you is the truth, even when you have your own copy of the Bible handy.
Will false prophets, and false teachers get into heaven?
Let the Scriptures answer the question.
Jude 1:12-19 (NKJV)
"These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.
But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts.
These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit."
As Paul said. If you have not the Spirit of Christ, you are not His.
Romans 8:9 (NKJV)
"But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His."
Finally, Jakes made a curious statement that should get your attention.
TD Jakes: ‘If everything was true, all I got to do is repent sincerely from my heart... but I ain’t got to repent about this’ 'Thank you for praying for me ... I'm good because I know the truth.'
Jakes. There's no one that's good.
Matthew 19:17 (NKJV)
"So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good?
No one is good but One, that is, God.
But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
To add. God and satan definitely know the truth.
