TRINITY LIFE CHURCH AND OPEN HANDS LEICESTER: BEWARE COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANITY

DAVID HIND TRINITY LIFE CHURCH LEICESTER VALIDATES WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING BENNY HINN!

By their own actions in having my posts removed by Google in a most underhand way, TLC have shown their true colours in that they are unwilling to submit to the scrutiny of the biblical standards they profess. Adam Simmonds complaint to Google has demonstrated his capacity to distort the truth to suit his own agenda in typical Pharisaic fashion. Anyone who trusts in the Lord does not need to resort to these kind of tactics.

The statement below is probably the nearest thing you will get to a statement of faith from TLC:

"We love God – He comes first, His Bible is central and we aim for Jesus to be the centre of all we do."  http://www.trinitylifechurch.org.uk/information/tlc-culture/

In accordance with the above claim that the Bible and Jesus are central to TLC, it is surely appropriate to test what they say and do by the standards they profess i.e. the Bible. When we actually put them to the biblical test we find many glaring contradictions, and as TLC know full well, this is the very point of my posts. Are we expected to accept what the leaders of TLC say unquestionably without any evidence that their profession is true? This in itself would be unbiblical since the Bible tells us to test the spirits:

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4/1)

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. (Acts 17/11)

Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgement.. (John 7/24)

To judge (Greek κρίνω krinó) i. e. to distinguish right or wrong accurately based on God's word. It is essential for Christians to judge in this sense in order to avoid being deceived. The very fact that TLC are have suppressed (or attempted to suppress) my posts which contain valid criticism is unbiblical - we must ask the following questions:

• TLC HAVE USED AN UNDERHAND AND ? ILLEGAL METHOD OF SUPPRESSING THE TRUTH - WHY?
• WHY ARE TLC UNWILLING TO FOR THEIR ACTIONS TO BE TESTED BY THE BIBLICAL CRITERIA THEY PROFESS? 
• IF TLC ARE WHAT THEY CLAIM TO BE, WHY HAVEN'T THEY REFUTED MY POINTS BIBLICALLY (2 Corinthians 12/11)? 
• ARE THESE THE ACTIONS THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM TRUE CHRISTIANS?

But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. (Ephesians 5/13-14)

In essence, I have been attacked for doing the very thing that the Bible tells Christians to do i.e. test the spirits (1 John 4/1) and expose the unfruitful works of darkness (Ephesians 5/11).

Simmonds: "These posts right from their very beginnings single out an individual and organisations ([redacted], [redacted]) and alleges wrong doing and that in the case of [redacted] that he is a false leader.........."

Ans: My posts have nothing to do with secular values. MY POSTS ARE A BIBLICAL CRITIQUE OF TRINITY LIFE CHURCH UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF DAVID HIND. My conclusion is that the leaders of TLC demonstrably are false leaders by biblical definition!

Simmonds: "The blog is opinion and totally unsubstantiated."

Ans: I can substantiate every point biblically.

Simmonds: ".....by implication of the content also malicious and acting with intent to harm those he leads and mislead those he comes in to contact with. �There is no such evidence.�There is none offered. There is no evidence that either organisations run/lead by [redacted]are mislead or maladministered."

Ans: Simmonds has put words into my mouth - I have not implied that David Hind is malicious or is acting with intent to harm/mislead those he comes into contact with. What I have observed is that David Hind is following a worldly agenda rather than an agenda that would be compatible with his stated biblical beliefs. Only David Hind himself knows the reasons for this. I cannot judge his motives as I cannot possibly know what is in his heart. Believers are to judge "fruit" i.e. actions (Matthew 7/16, 20), not men's hearts. I have never suggested that TLC and Open Hands are maladministered and not well run along worldly principles. However, worldly principles are NOT biblical principles.

Simmonds: ".....the allegations made in this blog are untrue and false which in our view seek to harm both the person of [redacted] and the associated organisations."

Ans: Which allegations precisely are untrue and false? Simmonds needs to be specific. I will biblically back up any allegation I have made that he cares to challenge. TLC's assumption that I seek to harm their organisations and David Hind personally is presumptuous and completely misses the point. The purpose of my writing is a bit bigger than David Hind!   It is to warn those who are being led into error so that they will escape the wrath that is coming on apostate churches (Revelation 16/19).

"Do not err, my brethren. Those that corrupt families shall not inherit the kingdom of God. And if those that corrupt mere human families are condemned to death, how much more shall those suffer everlasting punishment who endeavour to corrupt the Church of Christ, for which the Lord Jesus, the only-begotten Son of God, endured the cross, and submitted to death! Whosoever, 'being waxen fat,' and 'become gross,' sets at nought His doctrine, shall go into hell. In like manner, every one that has received from God the power of distinguishing, and yet follows an unskilful shepherd, and receives a false opinion for the truth, shall be punished. 'What communion hath light with darkness? or Christ with Belial? Or what portion hath he that believeth with an infidel? or the temple of God with idols?' And in like manner say I, what communion hath truth with falsehood? or righteousness with unrighteousness? or true doctrine with that which is false?"

Simmonds: ".....passing off opinion as fact; puts the trust and activity of the charity at risk of loss of income and business (receipt of government grants etc) and support and standing." 

Ans: TLC might lose "income and business....support and standing"? Aren't these precisely the worldly values and priorities that I have been exposing all along? TLC are putting their own values over and above the biblical values they claim are central to them. Whether we have money, business, support and standing - it all means nothing if we are outside God's will.

Why should TLC be worried about their reputation?

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. (Philippians 2/7)

Simmonds: "�I am also concerned that out of the 600 approx people involved in the life of the church some are vulnerable and the language used could be potentially harmful to them."

Ans: Who made Adam Simmonds the judge about what language could be harmful to those involved with TLC? This is a real insult to the attendees of TLC - aren't they capable of assimilating information and making their own judgements about its credibility? This is just too big-brotherish for words. As I have said

before, TLC's theocracy does not extend to the rest of the population! Do they really think that they are entitled to make decisions about what their attendees should and should not read!!! This is a classic sign of a cult! TLC attendees are being led into very dangerous unbiblical error with catastrophic eternal consequences and Adam Simmonds has the audacity to claim that they are protecting the vulnerable! Would it be right not to warn about such things? (Ezekiel 3/18-21; 33/8-9)

But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. (Matthew 23/13)

For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” (Luke 11/15)

Simmonds: "These two posts withdrawn would in our opinion satisfy the Trustees and protect against malicious intent and unfounded damaging rumour and speculation. False shepherd and associated language which in a charity's daily business would suggest the leader(s) harm people,deliberately and directly both financially as suggested in the post, but emotionally too."

Ans: I have every legal right to use biblical terms or whatever language I choose. Does Simmonds seriously think that he can censor the language that writers use? This is simply outrageous!

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ADAM SIMMONDS THAT WE LIVE IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY!

"The freedom of expression, to hold opinions and to share views on public forums such as blogs, twitter and indeed Facebook, are critical for ordinary people like us in a democratic society..... As we are aware, Adam Simmonds has told critics their opinions or views may be 'actionable', does he refer to libel or slander laws?" https://www.facebook.com/justintelligence

Article 10 of the (European convention of human rights) ECHR states: “Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include the freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers…”

As the European Court of Human Rights has made clear, Article 10 protects not only speech which is well-received and popular, but also speech which is offensive, shocking or disturbing.  (Sunday Times v UK (No 2) [1992] 14 EHRR 123):

“Freedom of expression constitutes one of the essential foundations of a democratic society…it is applicable not only to 'information' or 'ideas' that are favourably received or regarded as inoffensive or as a matter of indifference, but also as to those that offend, shock or disturb…”

Whether Adam Simmonds has acted in his capacity as the Police and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire or as a director of a church, both can be seen as public authorities.

Simmonds: "Religion is a personal and private activity, these posts potentially threaten people's core."

Ans: Would Jesus Christ agree that religion is a personal and private activity? Christ's ministry was very public indeed and didn't He tell his disciples to publicly proclaim the gospel? Of course Open Hands do not preach the gospel do they!

By all means run a couple of businesses and charities, but please do not tell us that they are biblical when they demonstrably are not!

My complaint against Adam Simmonds PCC for Northamptonshire will be considered by the Northamptonshire Police & Crime Panel's Sub Committee on Friday the 23rd of May.

Did Adam Simmonds use his position as Northamptonshire PCC to have my posts removed? It is extremely difficult to get blogs removed by Google (unless you are PCC for Northamptonshire of course). Furthermore, is it a coincidence that all three of my blogs are now not visible on a UK Google search? I have faxed an urgent Freedom of Information Request to Google Inc to hopefully get some answers to these very important questions.

TLC'S UNBIBLICAL AGENDA!

• PREACHING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST IS PROHIBITED AT OPEN HANDS AS A CONDITION OF RECEIVING BIG LOTTERY FUNDING! 
• LOTTERY FUNDING EQUALS UNGODLY APPROVAL OF GAMBLING! 
• TLC MUST DEMONSTRABLY BELIEVE AND ABIDE BY UNBIBLICAL SECULAR EQUALITY VALUES AS A CONDITION OF SECURING LOTTERY MONEY! 
• TLC'S OPEN HANDS MATERIAL IS SATURATED WITH THE SATANIC 666 “LUCKY” CROSSED FINGERS LOTTERY LOGO! 
• THEOCRACY: UNBIBLICAL TOP HEAVY LEADERSHIP AS AGAINST THE NEW TESTAMENT MODEL FOR DECISION MAKING! 
• NEPOTISM IS NOT FOUND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT - PARTIALITY IS FORBIDDEN (JAMES 2/9)! 
• ROCK MUSIC VERSUS WORSHIP! 
• CHURCH GROWTH BASED ON “SEEKER SENSITIVE” MEGA CHURCH CAMPUSES RATHER THAN ON GOD'S BLUEPRINT FOR CHURCH PLANTING IN THE BOOK OF ACTS! 
• GIVING A PLATFORM TO FALSE TEACHERS E.G. MARK STIBBE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING AND EX-ASSOCIATE OF TODD BENTLEY! 
• DAVID HIND HAS VALIDATED AND PROMOTED THE MINISTRY OF PROVEN FALSE PROPHET AND SELF CONFESSED NECROMANCER BENNY HINN! 
• INVOLVEMENT WITH ECUMENICAL CHURCHES TOGETHER!
