Peter promised in 2 Peter 2:1 that false teachers would come upon the people just as they had plagued the people of God in the Old Testament days. He said, “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” Unfortunately, many of these false teachers are abundantly available on the television programs of T.B.N. and other affiliates across the world. One of the most popular television teachers who must be categorized as a heretic and a false teacher is Joyce Meyer. She is extremely popular with women and many men alike. She teaches on many practical issues which make her popular, but hidden beneath her practical teaching are damnable doctrines that need to be exposed. Joyce Meyer (like most false teachers) teaches extrabiblical doctrines as if they are divinely inspired. Meyer even goes as far on one occasion as stating that the Bible is insufficient to reveal the truth and you must get specific knowledge through divine revelation.
The audio file below is an attempt to bring to light the false teachings of Joyce Meyer.

Why expose Joyce Meyer and other false prophets? Paul said in Romans 16:17, “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. ” As a pastor, I am deeply concerned for the spiritual well being of the people I pastor. I have a responsibility to tell the truth about people who teach things that are not confirmed by the Word of God. Joyce Meyer is one of those people. Rather than listening to her, we should all avoid her and her teachings since they contradict the Word of God.
May God Bless,
Rev. Josh Buice

we all fall short, david
Christine;
The thief on the Cross was under the law, and what I said is, we do not know whether he was baptized or not, however, it really does not matter…The Lord was not yet glorified…
On the other hand, we live in the new dispensation, we are to follow the plan of salvation that God has commanded us to follow…
1) believe.
2) Repent.
3) baptize In Jesus name.
4) Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost…
In other words; The death, burial, and resurrection…
Call me what you will, I follow what the Apostles preached, not some man made doctrine that you seem to follow…

We as humans cannot be in more than one place at a time…
I walk in God’s Spirit, but there is only one of me…
God is multi faceted….He can be in more than one place at once, He is omnipresent,(everywhere)…

Jer 23:24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
Psa 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
Psa 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

2Ch 2:6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
Isa 66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

You’re right, God can be in more than one place at a time. When God became flesh, he limited himself. Remember, Jesus “humbled himself” and did not see equality with God something to be grasped. (Philippians 2)
When Christ came to earth he gave up the privilages of being God, not the essence of the person of God. God’s power or abilities don’t make him God any more than our ability to walk makes us human. Jesus gave up: Power, knowledge, omnipresence and limited himself to a human body.
this is important. When Jesus tells us to walk as he did, we can be sure he didn’t “cheat.” Wouldn’t it be unfair if Jesus said, “Live like me, but I’m using powers you don’t have available to you.” He relied on the same thing we do: The Holy Spirit.
Even the miracles Jesus did were not from himself, they were from the Father. Again, we a relationship within the Godhead. I don’t call myself father. Nor do I empty myself of strength hoping to fill myself with my strength. If I empty myself, there must be another to fill me up.
Mae,
“so, my question is a simple one.
here we have two Godly men, who both seek Him daily and KNOW the Scripture. who among us will call out the heretic from this pair? obviously one is wrong-one of you is interpreting Scripture wrongly, so one of you is a heretic and false prophet, just like you’ve called joyce meyer. who is wrong? who is right? who here will “decide” one of these men is wrong like has been decided about so many other pastors/preachers/teachers that are “wrong”?????”
That is a stunning statement. Why do you have to wonder how we know when Scirpture is being interpreted wrongly? Why would you ever look for a person to call someone out, instead of simply examining the Scirptures and seeing for yourself what God has said.
Which of these is Scriptural:
1. There is only Jesus, not a trinity. We msut be baptized in Jesus name, and if we are not baptized we will suffer eternal death.
Or
2. God expresses himself in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. At a specific point in time God became incarnate and paid for our sins ON THE CROSS. He calls men to repent and express their repentance in Baptism as a symbol of thier faith.
You can’t examine those two views and know which is true by Scirpture? You need to call on Josh or Christine or Jonathan or someone out there to call one of us out?
This my 1st time to visit this page, but am really surprised to see how all of you arguing on the scriptures,plz preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost and stop arguing one another. no one is holy on this earth. and for your information we’re no longer worship the false gods in Africa, Jesus set us free, instead keep on praying for the US and Europe for the immoral we’re watching on TV these days, like gay marriage,lesbian,youth addicted to Drugs,sex…, and try to reach also the Europe because the Gospel is like forgotten there, reach China, Arab countries… and let’s all of us take the world to JESUS CHRIST.
With love
Most respectfully, those things you listed can only be done through the true Gospel of Jesus. Paul found the truth of the Gospel worth arguing about. False teachers are a threat to America’s soul, and now these false teachers have been given a worldwide stage.

Now you meant that to be born of water, means water baptism in John 3:5, but let me show you thru scripture,that it means sosmething else:
Joh 15:3 Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.
1Pe 1:23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.
Rom 10:17 So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
So as you see,to be born of water,means simply of coming to the saving faith of Jesus Christ based on His sacrifice on the cross and His ressurection from the dead.The Word of God changes people’s lives when it is preached thru the power or in the power of the Holy Spirit,which convinces unbelievers of their sins.So baptism is the outward witness of those who have been already saved to the world and an obedient step for what Jesus has called us to do.
To the view that many FaithWordMovement so called preacher teach about the atoning work of Christ on the cross, is simply unbelievable.
Why? I can tell you thru a Scripture that Jesus didn’t go to hell,in order to pay our sins there,not speaking of being tortured there.
You were talking about the one crucified next to Christ,if He was saved without being baptized.YESSS!
the big issue is there,that Jesus said,now watch this:
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with Me in Paradise.
This teaches us that Jesus didn’t go to the hell to pay there for our sins,he went directly to God,I mean His Spirit went directly to God’s presence. I just don’t understand how so called preachermatics missuse the Word of the Living God.
Many say,that the Bible can be interpreted in various ways,no it can’t be.Every verse or Bible passage has only ONE interpretation but many applications.
Bible can be interpreted thru the Bible and no other way as thru the Bible itself.The Bible is complete.All we need to godliness is in the Scripture,God revealed everything we need for this life as His followers and His children.
I think, that to warn believers from false doctrine and teachers is the soul of not just the new testament but the old testament,too.Just look at the prophets,how did they warned the people of Israel to turn away from false teachers or idolatry,it’s allways a warning,and today you can’t tell them,that they teach false doctrine, it’s unloving or judging they say.But the opposite is,if we don’t warn them, it’s our guilt.
Please don’t quit studying your Bible,it is the Truth of God of Himself and also the truth of the fallen humanity and its cure thru His Son Jesus Christ,by the work finished on the cross.God’s written Word will stand forever,needs no new revelation,all He had revealed is in His Word,and as I’ve already said it is COMPLETE!
Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Psa 19:8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Psa 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
Psa 19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Psa 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: in keeping of them there is great reward.
May God bless you
I am quite sure that God did not intend for these Profits to be His messengers.They ignore every aspect of Christs teachings that conflict with their desires for greater amounts of money and power.What would Joyce Meyers say about “it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven”? Also the fact that they prey upon the weakest members of the community, people who for whatever reason are searching for hope and these charlatans offer it….for a price.
Who’s arguing scripture? Would you defend these profiteers such as Meyer,Copeland,the clownish Hinn and the ironically named Creflo Dollar?
Falling short? They’re stealing money from the weak.Period.
Jesus and His apostles were accused of being false prophets and teachers. The religious authorities of the day were quick criticize and yes justify their persecutions of believers. The broad sweeping exagerated accusations and claim to be quite sure about God’s intentions are troubling to say the least. It is one thing to disagree about convictions and minor points of doctrine and another call a fellow Christian a false prophet. Joyce does teach and preach the gospel of Christ, she is a true believer and has led many to Christ. Quite possibly many more than anyone posting or sponsoring this site. Christ himself warned about those who are focused on getting the sliver out someones eye, but himself has a beam in his own eye.
Please stop destroying the unity that Christ himself is looking for in His Bride the Church. None of us are perfect, therefore be careful about what you are doing. God defends those who are actively winning souls and strengthening them in the faith.
I am a Born again Christian. I have studdied joel Olsteen. and have concluded He is in fact a heratic. good work Josh. Your 100% correct.

Listening to your comments on Joyce Meyer and I agree with your comments regarding her teaching. I do however, disagree with one of your statements. In 2 Cor. 5:21 Paul writes, (KJV) “For He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” I’m not desiring to split hairs, only to say that the scriptures do indicate that Jesus was indeed our “sin offering” yet something more in that He was made to be the object of God’s (Father) wrath (sin) while NOT becoming a sinful man. I agree fully that our sin (singular) He bore and was thus, our sin offering. But, the Holy Spirit led Paul to say something more with his (Paul’s) verbage. “He hath made” (aorist, active, indicative) “sin” (noun, singular). I understand that the “to be” is not there, but added to aid the reader in understanding. My conclusion: Jesus was /(is, as in his once for all sacrifice) our sin offering; he was made to be (made here does not indicate resistance, rather purpose) sin; result – we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Thanks for standing for the Word. Blessings
I am thankful for people like Joyce Meyer who walks the walk and helps thousands and more around the world, not by her own doing, but by the grace and strength of Jesus Christ, in whom she gives credit. I find it amazing that people are so concerned about every detail about Joyce says, and somehow ignore what she Does; feed the hunger, build medical care centers and housing, help women and children out of sex slavery, bringing children soldiers out imprisonment, comfort the sick and dying of AIDS, all the while sharing the love of Christ. Thank God for imperfect people like Joyce who knows she needs God and only through him all she does is possible. If more people were out there walking the walk of Jesus and showing his love, instead of arguing over doctrine, more souls would be coming to God every day. It is a luxury to be able to bicker about such things, when there are people who have never had the chance to hear of Jesus Christ. It’s sad to come across a website like this and see precious time being wasted fighting with each other. I thank God that when it comes time, what I say, do & what’s in my heart is between me and God. He decides.
Kami,
The reason people (like myself) are intensely concerned with what Joyce says is because being a Christian is not just about what you do, but who you are inside! The doctrine you adhere to reveals who you really are. Joyce has some very strange and disturbing doctrine that does not square with Holy Scripture. Much of her teaching is centered in the health, wealth, and prosperity genre. That type of teaching teaches people to embrace health and wealth as their treasure in life while using Jesus as a mere ticket to their goals. Jesus is not a ticket. He is the treasure. We are not promised health, wealth, and prosperity in this life.
Pastor Josh Buice
“The doctrine you adhere to reveals who you really are.”
NO! Actions speak much louder than words. Because of Jesus’ Works we know Who He Was and Who He Is. What He DID saved us. What we DO will lead others to Christ.
Josh: “Jesus is not a ticket. He is the treasure.”
wonderful.
Mea why not go to Jesus your self and ask him for the Truth?We Gloryfy a living God dont we?
The thing is we always run to flesh that is so wrong!Remeber we are now alive spiritually in Christ,not in flesh.Thats why Jesus could not become sin it self.Why would Jesus Go to the cross if he Knew that he would die and go to hell for 3days and nights for us?We are not that special,that God would seas to exist.Remember Jesus is in fact God.He Knew we were sold to sin like slaves.Thats why some people say why would we have a God that puts sin on the earth and the send us to hell for it.God knows this thinking he created us.So he created the commandments so that we would know what sin is and stay away from it.Well we could not.We were flesh,so flesh is sin it self.if Jesus never had sin that means that he died on the cross without sin.We still have sin,dont you sin somtimes?and know about it?so how did Jesus the Become sin and die.if Sin is still around?No Jesus died so that God can see us as paid in full. cos we are in Christ and Christ are in us.so when we commit a sin Gosd sees Christ and says ok thats not how he is he loves me and he realy what to do good.But remember God knows the heart.
So i say learn from the Holy Spirit rather from flesh.Jesus did say thet he leaves the Spirit to comfort us.so dont run to other people for comfort got to God
I am so busy trying to live the word that unless something is VISIBLY DETRIMENTAL to Christ’s teachings – in what is preached – I am not keen to sit in judgement over my fellowmen, preachers or lay people for expressing their interpretations of Bible. Judge not that ye not be judged and word about the removing the log in one’s own eye are enough to strike Godly fear in me. Attacks on fellow preachers for items you ‘discern’ as offensive if hardly living the word. People will read us long before they read the Good Book and very long before they read ‘discerning’ newslines. Bless you.
I think you guise are morons, I will ask for forgiveness after I mailed this)
I also thought like you did but the grace of the father set me free.
I don’t see you preach the love that the sad – that will be the sighn that that the world will know you are my disciples.
If I am in the world not serving Christ, I would not become a christian because of you
I know she will be taking many souls to Christ our redeemer
Your Institution’s name is ” Delivered By Grace” but you don’t have the foggiest idea who grace is yes not what but who – He is Jesus Christ Himself
You institutionalized & categorized grace – surprise sunrise – He the almighty graceful JESUS our Christ & Master don’t fit in your Box
Look behind you is ther any fruit & if there is what is it? LOVE or HATE & Suspicion?
I rest my case
The church is called the pillar of truth, Jesus promisedus the Spirit of Truth to guide us, He said that if we continue in His Word we shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free. The Bible speaks of false prophets, false brethren and even those who preac “another Jesus” or a perverted gospel. We are even warned that God is going to send the world a “strong delusion” because they did not love the truth. Yet whenever someone exposes these lies, they always get attacked. Why is that?
I never gave a dime to Joyce Meyers yet I have been listening to her for over a year and when I asked for help, I got free books and CD’s. I am no longer suicidal, cleaning my home and planning to return to school.
I dont know how many other churches I went to crying for help and even being sexual seduced by several men in positions of leadership.
The word does not return void, she got it to me and it is working. She aint perfect, she aint God, she does not claim to be, but she never tried to get me into bed and never took my money. She teaches the word and elevates it above all else. That is the way it is supposed to be.
To further support Pastor Josh… there was a fantastic handling of this subject on the Grace to You broadcast today:
http://www.gty.org/AudioPlayer/Podcast/1339
I have also received books and magazines from Joyce without sending her a penny. They have been valuable resources in my walk with the Lord. She has helped me develop a relationship with God. She's not perfect, no one is.
Joyce is busy building people up in faith and she is fruitful and Gods anointing is on her life.
If there is any perfect preacher I would like to know who they are. Seriously. Is there ANY one on the face of this earth that has never preached an incorrect message or hurt any one etc. etc.? No, I dont think so. There isnt a SINGLE preacher on earth that has not sinned and failed.
If any one has an issue with a fellow christian they should approach that person and put their views forward. I have just about had it with those who instead of spending valuable time evangelizing and trying to get lost souls to Christ they're battering others within the body.
As a Christian shouldn't you be more concerned about spreading the Gospel then you are with exposing a pastor that doesn't even know you exist? If you don't agree with Joyce Meyer then just turn the channel, know one makes you listen to her. I am sure you congregation would benefit greatly if you focused on teaching them how to live the life of Christ instead of attempting to tear down people God has raised up.
