Christianity in Crisis

by Hank Hanegraaff

On Christian television, in pulpits, seminars and books, a growing number of church leaders are spreading distorted doctrines that undermine the very core of Biblical Christianity. Hanegraaff exposes the surprising blasphemies and widespread teachings and gets to the root of false teachings that are endangering unwary followers.

Book Quotes

“Kenneth Copeland: «Como creyente, tiene usted derecho a dar órdenes en el nombre de Jesús. Cada vez que se apoya en la Palabra, está ordenando a Dios hasta cierto nivel porque es Palabra de Él» (Our Covenant with God [KCP Publications, 1987], p. 32).”

“Charles Capps: «En esto [el Pacto de Abraham], Dios establece una entrada legal en la tierra, y le da a Abraham acceso a Él mismo… Este pacto le dio a Dios entrada legal a la tierra por medio de Abraham… Hasta ese momento Dios estaba, hasta cierto grado, aún en mirando desde el exterior. Él necesitaba una entrada legal por medio de un hombre a fin de poder destruir las obras del diablo, que campaba a sus anchas en la tierra. Abraham fue el medio de entrada de Dios en la tierra» (Authority in Three Worlds, pp. 60–61).”

“Kenneth Copeland: «Dios no tenía medio de fe duradera o de movimiento en la tierra. Tenía que tener un pacto con alguien… Él tenía que ser invitado, en otras palabras, o no podría venir… Dios está mirando desde el exterior. A fin de tener palabra en la tierra, Él tiene que estar en acuerdo con un hombre aquí» (God’s Covenants with Man II [Kenneth Copeland Ministries, 1985], cinta de audio #01-4404, cara 1).”

“Jerry Savelle: «“ ¿Quiere decirme que puedo dar existencia a mi mundo con mis palabras?” Sí que puede. Así es como obtuvo el mundo en que vive ahora. Usted habló para que estuviese ahí… Usted habló para que estuviese ahí, el mundo en que usted vive ahora, hermano. No puede culpar a ninguna otra persona. Sus palabras lo trajeron aquí. Usted lo formó. Alguien dice: “ ¿Quiere usted decir que el mundo en que vivo ahora se originó por las palabras de mi boca?” Sin duda, sí, porque la Biblia dice que usted está atado por las palabras de su boca; usted está tomado por sus palabras. ¿Amén?» (Framing Your World with the Word of God, parte 1, cinta de audio #SS-36, cara 1). Joel Osteen: «Quiero hablarle hoy sobre la importancia de hablar palabras llenas de fe sobre su vida. Las palabras son como semillas; tienen poder creativo. Cuando hablamos algo, damos vida a lo que estamos diciendo. Es como cuando plantamos una semilla. Y si lo decimos el tiempo suficiente, finalmente obtendremos una cosecha» (Discover the Champion in You, 3 mayo 2004). Joyce Meyer: «Las palabras son recipientes de poder. Llevan poder creativo o poder destructivo, poder positivo o poder negativo. Y por tanto, necesitamos decir cosas correctas sobre nuestra vida y nuestro futuro si esperamos que sucedan cosas buenas. Porque lo que usted dice hoy es lo que probablemente terminará teniendo mañana» (Enjoying Everyday Life, Trinity Broadcasting Network, 16 julio 2002). T. D. Jakes: «Si el poder de la vida y la muerte está en la lengua y usted puede tener cualquier cosa que diga, es momento de que usted lo declare, lo confiese, ¡saque su lista!» (The Potter’s House, 3 diciembre 2001).”

“Kenneth Copeland: “I was shocked when I found out who the biggest failure in the Bible actually is . . . The biggest one is God . . . I mean, He lost His top-ranking, most anointed angel; the first man He ever created; the first woman He ever created; the whole earth and all the fullness therein; a third of the angels, at least—that’s a big loss, man . . . Now, the reason you don’t think of God as a failure is He never said He’s a failure. And you’re not a failure till you say you’re one” (Praise the Lord: Praise-a-Thon, Trinity Broadcasting Network, April 1988).”
