It won’t be the first bible verse he’s taken out of context and it won’t be the last. President Biden, speaking to the media after at least 12 US soldiers were killed in a series of terror attack in Kabul, Afghanistan yesterday, monkeys about with the prophetic calling of Isaiah 6:8- an act which would which was preceded by Isaiah famously saying “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
The message the angel would then give would be one of utter judgment and devastation, promising that only a tenth of the people would remain, behind, and everyone else would be taken captive or killed. For Biden though, who hates the Bible and the God therein contained, using its message for the optics is just part of the game,
TRANSCRIPT– I also want to thank the Secretary of Defense, military leadership of the Pentagon, and all the commanders in the field.
There’s been complete unanimity from every commander on the objectives of this mission and the best way to achieve those objectives. Those who have served through the ages have drawn inspiration from the book of Isaiah, when the Lord says, “Whom shall I send? Who shall go for us?” The American military’s been answering for a long time: “Here I am, Lord. Send me. Here I am, send me.”
Each one of these women and men of our armed forces are the heirs of that tradition of sacrifice, of volunteering to go into harm’s way, to risk everything. Not for glory, not for profit, but to defend what we love and the people we love. And I ask that you join me now in a moment of silence for all those in uniform and out, military and civilians who have given their last full measure of devotion. Thank you. May God bless you all and may God protect those troops and all those standing watch for America. We have so much to do. It’s within our capacity to do it. We just have to remain steadfast.
You want to know which men of the cloth are spending an arm and a leg on their clothing? We have the deets, compliments of Preachers n Sneakers, who have more of where this came from.

Arch-heretic Kenneth Copeland has released a new prophetic revelation from God Satan, claiming that COVID has been destroyed, with the proof being the vision he saw of grotesque heavenly imagery.
Via phone during a service on Sunday, Kenneth Copeland said he saw "a blanket of blood" but angels criss-crossed over a "golden cloud" that came out of it, and he knew "the final takedown of this synthetic virus that has been made by men as a weapon has fallen, it's destroyed" pic.twitter.com/df5WO55Vci
This morning as we prayed, just suddenly I saw a blanket of blood. It rippled like it had a slight breeze on it. And as I watched it, and I watched this blanket of blood, it was everywhere, particularly over the United States and over our partners everywhere.
And then a golden layer, just so gold…it was hard to-this golden aura and cloud—a golden cloud right on top of the blood. And then I realized that it came up out of the blood. And then I realized that it came up out of the blood, and just stunningly beautiful. And then angels began to crisscross overt the top of all that, and these golden rainbows came up out of that.
And I saw the healing, the healing of lungs…and I knew in my spirit, and I said it out loud with my mouth ‘our breakthrough has come, and glory to God the destruction the final takedown of this synthetic virus that has been made by men as a weapon has fallen, it’s destroyed.’
This isn’t the first time Copeland claimed that COVID was gone. Last year he infamously blew it all away in a wacky and much-mocked display on stage.
Just days after the story broke that Hannah-Kate Williams ( the woman at the center of the Mike Stone SBC 2021 Convention controversy) filed a lawsuit against a plethora of entities and personalities, including LifeWay, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Mike Stone, Rod Martin, the SBC Executive Committee, and others, she tried to kill herself again.
The attempt to take her own life came after she publicly accused the pastors who stood by her at SBC 2021 of using her, a claim she took back a few days later, writing that Grant Gaines and Ronnie Parrot did not use her after all. Rather, because she is emotionally damaged from her abuse and not fully healed yet, she was not able to fully discern both their and her actions and motivations about the situation, resulting in her saying what she did.
Sadly, this is not her first attempt, but she also tried a few years ago too, and we are immensely grateful that she did not complete it and that she is still with us here today.
She shared on social media that given the way her plans are going, and the continued roadblocks the SBC is throwing up in order to not properly address and deal with the sexual abuse happening within the denomination, she is going back to her original plan, as stated below.
Though we are frequently at odds with Hannah-Kate and have reported on some of the things she has done and said that have not always been complimentary, we want her to be justified, sanctified, and one day glorified, and we thank God she is still with us. Please pray for her.
A personal plea to Hannah Kate
H, we know you read this, and you’ve been chatting with S for a few months now. His line is always open. Furthermore, if you send me a DM, I’m always open to chat and will gladly give you my number. -D.
After learning that Revoice was going to feature a practicing lesbian Roman Catholic as a speaker, we decided to see who else they would be including as part of their speaker list, wondering whether or not the fact that they got curb stomped into a slurry of blood and broken teeth by the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) 2021 General Assembly (GA) just a few months ago would have any impact on who they brought on.
During the GA, the PCA voted to adopt Overture 23, which basically said that same-sex attractions in and of themselves are sinful, not just same-sex acts. Furthermore, any man who makes his sexuality part of his identity and affirms he’ll always struggle with same-sex attraction, denying the efficacy of a new heart upon one’s sexuality and denying that “such were some of you” is the normative expectation for Christians who are being sanctified by Christ, is not qualified to be Pastor. Naturally, this caused much “REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE”-ing from proponents of Revoice, who take a diametrically opposing position.
One thing that stood out to us was the number of people who have their personal pronouns as part of their mini biography pages. And not just for those who identify as transgendered, but rather the sodomites got in on the action too, ensuring that the biological woman, who identifies as a woman, and looks like a woman, wants to be called “she/her” lest they awkwardly get referred to in masculine terminology for no reason whatsoever.
We also listed a few people who count themselves as part of non-Christian sects, for posterity, and also truth be told, just skimmed half the profiles when we compiled this list. They may have given/listed their personal pronouns elsewhere, but truth be told we didn’t want to invest that much effort hunting them down, and so just pulled from the list itself, with one exception.
Elizabeth Black: According to her Revoice Bio: “Elizabeth Black (she/her) has served as an evangelist and minister in New York City for almost 10 years.”
Gregory Coles: None listed, but wrote in 2018: “I’ll argue in this paper that the most biblical response to transgender people’s pronouns is a posture of unequivocal pronoun hospitality. That is, I believe that all Christians can and should use pronouns that reflect the expressed gender identities of transgender people, regardless of our views about gender identity ethics. If a person identifies herself to you as “she,” I hope you will consider it an act of Christ-like love to call her “she” out of respect, whether or not you believe that the way she expresses her gender identity is honoring to God.”
Kat Laprairie: Kat was born a woman, identifies as transgender, and likes to use she/her or they/them pronouns
Aaron Munson: According to Revoice bio, Aaron Munson (he/him) is a licensed school counselor and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who provides virtual counseling for people who are struggling to reconcile their faith and their sexuality/sexual orientation.
Liz Munson: According to her Revoice bio: “Liz Munson (she/her) has been in a journey of reconciling her faith and sexuality over the past decade. After 12 years of marriage and 2 kids, she and Aaron found out they were in a “mixed oriented marriage.”
Ben Schulke: According to Revoice bio: “Ben Schulke (he/they) lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan with his wife Lauren.”
Preston Sprinkle: None listed. Tweeted out support of the aforementioned Gregory Coles article, saying people should practice “pronoun hospitality.” (BTW, Someone should ask him if he’d agree to call a friend’s mistress “his wife” if that’s what the friend asked, and also how would that be any different.)
Eve Tushnet: None listed. She is a professing lesbian who is also a practicing Roman Catholic. We wrote about her already here.
Gregg Webb: None listed. Interestingly, he is Eastern Orthodox and identifies as a homosexual man, two things which make his Christianity suspect.
Revoice still plans on adding more speakers, and we will update this list with all the she/hers and they/thems accordingly.
Southern Baptist President Ed Litton continued to deny plagiarism charges on a podcast released last week, saying he did nothing wrong, then claiming that he’s been forgiven and just wants to move on.
Appearing on episode 144 of the Potluck Podcast, the hosts ask him about the plagiarism incidents that have dogged from immediately after his election, when it was revealed that despite having a whole preaching team around him made up of 6-8 men that help him prepare sermons and do research, he had been plagiarizing his recent sermon series from outgoing SBC President and Summit Church pastor J.D. Greear.
Up to this point, Litton has denied wrongdoing, claiming he had permission from Greear to copy his outline and a few illustrations, but it did not stop there. Subsequent investigations have revealed that going back to at least 2012, Litton has been plagiarizing sermons from a other pastors, such as Tim Keller.
It also was not just a few brilliant points he was borrowing, but rather Litton would frequently copy large chunks of stories, prayers, and illustrations verbatim. When the story first broke at our sister site Reformation Charlotte, it was said that he copied one sermon. We have since found a smorgasbord of plagiarized sermons. Even his co-pastor plagiarized Greer. In fact, even his wife Kathy was privy to some plagiarism.
The fact that Litton has treated his preaching in such cavalier fashion is not wholly unexpected, as he has been known to tell a few whoppers. Litton admits that he used to lie to people all the time when asked how on it took him to write sermons, and just last year Litton claimed that only men preached at his church, and then it was revealed that women preached over 15 sermons at his church, representing 8% of sermons in some years.
During the Podcast he is asked, “But there have been some voiced concerns regarding your preaching, even calls for you to resign, not just the presidency, but also at your own church. If you had just a few minutes to simply share your heart, clear the air, whatever it may be, what would you say to the Southern Baptist who may hear this and maybe even share some of those same concerns?”
His answer?
Yeah, listen, I understand why some people are concerned, I really do because of what they’re hearing. And I just, and there’s videos, and even people in my church, we’ve sat down and talked about it. And there’s publications, things being said.
So the best way I can describe, really, is most of it centers, not all but most of it centers around a Romans series that we did last year. And when we were outlining the series, you know that’s a responsible part of pastoring and preaching is if you’re going to preach the stuff, you want to outline what you’re going to cover each week. And so I was looking to do that. And I was in the process of doing that. And I remembered that my friend J.D. had already done that.
So I called him and I said, ‘can you send me a spreadsheet’ – he keeps his on a spreadsheet – ‘that shows me how you outlined it. I want to see how mine’s lining up, if I’m approaching this right.’ And in that process, he gave me permission not only to do that, he said ‘any material at all, you’re welcome to it,’ and I appreciated that.
And I had no intention of doing anything with it, except I enjoy listening to him and I enjoy how he handles certain things in teaching. So I did listen to him. And so here’s what I want to make it very clear. Like any pastor, I used his material to help me outline it. And then I (unintelligible) material after I’d done the Greek work, after I’d read my commentaries, try to get a sense of how this passage needs to be explained to my people.
And there’s a couple places in particular, where we share the same outline. And there’s a couple places in particular where I use a lot of phrases that he did. And I just want to say this, I want to be clear. I think the older you get, the more set you get in language, and you tend to rely on what you’ve used in the past. I’ve always been the guy who wants to always figure out, ‘am I really connecting with people, my people, I want them to understand this.’
I didn’t do this, what I did, what it appears that I did. I don’t think it’s exactly what actually I did.
But, the point is, when I did it, I wasn’t trying to make a name for myself. I was trying to help my people understand scripture. And I’ll be honest with you, Romans is an intimidating book for me. Now, you guys are a lot smarter than I am, it’s probably not as intimidating for you. But it was. So I did rely on that.
Here’s the problem, I had permission, which I think means it’s not plagiarism. The problem was, I didn’t, and it’s obvious that I did not tell my people exactly the source that it came from. I didn’t cite the commentaries I read either.
And so that’s what I have, I have apologized to my people, they have very warmly accepted that. Our leadership and I’ve sat down and we’ve talked about how we can correct this, and we’re in the process of correcting it.
I’m fasting [?!? -Ed.] from certain things I’ve always done in preaching, and approaching every message I preach, whether it’s at the convention, or at a location, or in our own church, I’m approaching it differently.
And, and so this is [sic] I take this very seriously. And this is what I share with my people, every week, you have trusted me for 27 years to be a man of truth. And, and so I have to tell you the truth. And if you can’t trust me, then I have no basis of leadership in this church.
And so we’re grateful for the opportunity to address it. But the other thing is, I believe the Lord has forgiven me. And I believe that the Lord is helping me learn even a stronger better way to communicate. And we’re moving on.We feel like we’re dealing with it, we can move forward.
Litton says most of it centers around the Romans series, but he’s been doing it since 2012. What of the other pastors he has plagiarized from? Did he ask Greear in 2015 when he plagiarized part of his sermon? What about everything else other than the Romans series? How is that explained?
Litton continues to frame it as merely using the outline and then making it seem coincidental in a “great minds think alike” sort of way, and does not explain or admit to why or how he lifted large portions of the sermons.
He continues to minimize, equivocate, and obfuscate by pointing out that he didn’t cite the commentaries he used either, while also saying that it’s not plagiarism if he has permission, which is patently ridiculous.
Why did Litton need to be forgiven if he did nothing wrong?
If Litton were “grateful for the opportunity to address it,” he would have done so much earlier. He makes it sound like he’s been finally given the platform to say what’s on his mind. For months he’s had nearly an unlimited opportunity to address it and tens of thousands of people wanting him to address it, but he purposefully chose not to, and when he did only to a friendly inquisitor.
If Litton thinks this superficial revisionist history is sufficient to quell the questions, he is unfortunately mistaken.
Editor’s Note. h/t to Tom Buck, where we first saw the story, and whose tweet was copied verbatim to be the headline.
When Kat Kerr, our favorite pink-haired charismatic meme-bot and “Dr. Michael Brown-approved prophetess” isn’t weaving an unbiblical tale of witchcraft and false theology by claiming that when babies die in miscarriage, sometimes God “puts them back” in the womb, or that she has a picture of thousands of lion-faced angels frog-marching chained demons across the sky in order to go to heaven for judgment, she’s explaining that she saw Walt Disney in heaven, on account of creating Disney Land and family-friendly fun. [Editor’s note: It figures. Her theology is kind of Mickey Mouse…]
But I do know for a fact that we’ll have new ways of entertainment for whole families to enjoy. And I might as well throw this in there, (unintelligible) anybody nervous enough, but Walt Disney made it to heaven. Walt Disney made it to heaven. His whole focus, I’m just gonna mention him because he’s a great part of family entertainment. And that was his focus when he started that whole thing. So he totally heard from heaven to create a place for families to come and enjoy themselves and not have to be concerned about the profanity, that extreme violence and the other stuff that’s involved in some of those areas. [Editor’s note: She seems to have forgotten about the “gender” nonsense that Disney is currently promulgating…]
By all evidence, Disney’s faith is highly questionable. According to biographer, Bob Thomas, in Walt Disney: An American Original:
Walt considered himself religious yet he never went to church. The heavy dose of religiosity in his childhood discouraged him; he especially disliked sanctimonious preachers. But he admired and respected every religion, and his belief in God never wavered.
His daughter Sharon said of him: “He was a very religious man, but he did not believe you had to go to church to be religious. He respected every religion. There wasn’t any he ever criticized. He would not even tell religious jokes,” and his other daughter Diane said of him: “I do know that [Walt] had great respect for all faiths…My sister dated a Jewish boy for awhile with no objections from either of my parents.”
Perhaps most revealing was an article Walt Disney wrote for Roland Gammon’s in the 1963 book about prayer, Faith is a Star, just three years before he passed away, demonstrating a belief in a higher power, but nothing more.
In these days of world tensions, when the faith of men is being tested as never before, I am personally thankful that my parents taught me at a very early age to have a strong personal belief and reliance in the power of prayer for Divine inspiration. My people were members of the Congregational Church in our home town of Marceline, Missouri. It was there where I was first taught the efficacy of religion…how it helps us immeasurably to meet the trial and stress of life and keeps us attuned to the Divine inspiration. Later in DeMolay [Editor’s note: DeMolay is an international fraternal organization for young men], I learned to believe in the basic principle of the right of man to exercise his faith and thoughts as he chooses. In DeMolay, we believe in a supreme being, in the fellowship of man, and the sanctity of the home. DeMolay stands for all that is good for the family and for our country.
…thus, whatever success I have had in bringing clean, informative entertainment to people of all ages, I attribute in great part to my Congregational upbringing and my lifelong habit of prayer. To me, today, at age sixty-one, all prayer, by the humble or highly placed, has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best human impulses which should bind us together for a better world.
Barring a death bed confession, whatever Disney has said publicly about his religious beliefs should give no confidence in his salvation.
Please proceed with caution, as we do not desire anyone to stumble into sin with either lust or unbridled anger.
Pulpit & Pen has been informed by Rabbi Christopher Frederickson that allegedly “Clayton Jennings’ has somehow taken down his website.”
It seems Jenning’s has attempted to hack both Pulpit & Pen’s website and Jordan Hall’s Facebook page, albeit unsuccessfully. Most of Jennings’ victims have also had their accounts hacked (some successfully) within the last week or so. P&P has had our tech support on the phone with his victims, helping them ensure necessary cyber-security safeguards.
The following images below, which have been removed from the website of Rabbi Frederickson, are GRAPHIC IN NATURE:
Notice his response to the alleged minor.
The website of the Rabbi has been replete with hatred and unbelievable filth from Clayton Jennings’ rabid followers. See below.
Replies from some of Clayton Jennings’ followers
Until the Rabbi’s website is up, you’ll be able to see the comments sent to the 16 year-old girl, according to his website and her parents.
In recent weeks, Jennings admitted to adultery and sexting (complete with nude photos) in his Spoken Word poetry, released AFTER the Rabbi’s original report that he’s been continuing in this ongoing behavior.
After his misdeeds and clergy misconduct are made public, Jennings then references his ‘mistakes’ in his Spoken Word videos, and claims transparency once his sins have already been uncovered.
Reportedly, Jennings asks for nude photos in return, in order to keep the women from coming forward.
It appears that as Clayton Jennings has branded himself as “standing up against bullies” and kids being picked upon, while he is engaging in this behavior behind the scenes.
[Editor’s Note; Because it is the Rabbi’s Sabbath, he was not available today for full comment. Some reports indicate that Jennings has attempted a copyright claim on certain photos which would mean, in theory, they indeed belong to him]
Fair warning: No additional information has been provided from Rabbi Frederickson on the alleged removal of the posted photographs by Clayton Jennings. The alleged victim is a juvenile, therefore no additional information is available.
They aren’t going to retcon him as they did to comic book character Robin just two weeks ago, with a bisexual storyline involving a male love interest, but rather in the same vein as when Marvel announced that Captain America was going to be gay, they are killing off Clark Kent so his homosexual son can don the suit and take over the gig of saving the world.
I just found out, I got a little bit of a scoop about what DC’s plans are. Nobody knows this yet. It hasn’t been really announced, except by me…The plan is that…Superman’s book…I guess Clark Kent is going bye-bye….Clark Kent I guess is going bye-bye and they are going to replace him with Jonathan Kent, and then they are going to announce that Jonathan Kent is gay. So Superman is effectively gay, everyone. He is gay.
In 2015 Batman’s on/off-again love interest Catwoman was written into being bisexual. Batwoman was shown to be a lesbian in 2006. Characters like Bluebird, Barbara Kean, and Tabitha Galavan have been written as bisexual, and several Batmanman villains like the Riddler, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Joker, and Harley Quinn have also been in LGBTQ storylines and depicted as bisexual.
Basically, everyone is a flaming sodomite because that’s the way the world is now.
Jenna Winston is a “pastrix” at Bethel Church in Redding, California and also the proprietor of the “Heartscaping” ministry. Her testimony is that she is a diagnosed schizophrenic who spent the first 40 years of her life going through psych ward and holds a “multiple abuses, mental illness” diagnosis, extreme drug addictions, and has multiple suicide attempts, all before winding up at a faith-based recovery program where she claims to have a radical encounter with Jesus that “forever changed the trajectory of her life.”
Finding freedom from her demons, she calls herself a “Seer Prophet” and does counseling through her Heartscaping ministry and “specializes in inner healing, prophetic deliverance, identifying and cultivating your spiritual gifts, and restoring your full identity.” One distinctive is that unlike most people shilling their wares, hers are unusually upscale in terms of their price, with a typical course video being $129.
In a conversation with Shawn Bolz, [Editor’s note: Shawn: if you’re reading this, we know something about you. We can’t release it yet until we get our hands on a particular document that we know is out there, but we want you to know that we know], Winston explains how God knows a bit about us but doesn’t know our future.
True deliverance is about – there are so many things that happen in our lives all the time that God never planned. God doesn’t make bad things happen but he will take the assaults from the enemy, who but he doesn’t want us happy and full of life and walking in our identity and we’re all gifted, we’re all called, well, have epic, you know, whatever, and so he doesn’t know our exact future but he does know our callings. He does know our giftings. And he’s just gonna hit you opposite all the time you know? And we get stuck in ‘blame and this and that’ and believing all of it to where we don’t even know our identity, right? So what does it look like instead of dissecting everything wrong with you. [Editor’s note: You may recall that God is All-knowing, and there has never been a time in history that He has not known or has had to learn anything.]
Johnson: My understanding in this area creates the greatest challenges for me…my approach is that God doesn’t control everything.
He’s in charge of everything. And the way I’d illustrate is well, you’re a parent, or you’re in charge of your household, but you’re not in control of everything that happens, you know?
Some dish will break. Something will happen. Somebody will say something that was unkind. Those things aren’t because of your influence. They just happen because you have a household of free will.
