Our small group just finished reading The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. No more is that apparent in that book and her life how much they treasured the Word of God and depended on it daily to get through insane trials. We have no idea and are quite spoiled by comparison, but hey, let’s sing another round of “Reckless Love…” 🫠😐
@@ScriptureSoundscapes541 I’ve known so many friends who have been led to believe they can’t follow modern science as a career if the become Christian. So they loose their faith

Andy, in my opinion, appears to be an angry, bitter “preachers son” who is getting back at his dad by distorting Christianity because he actually hates Christianity. He has to be different than his dad just to sock it to him. The sad part, is that he is leading people astray and he will pay dearly for it when he stands before Christ, and unfortunately so will his flock for not truly studying and learning the truth of God’s word. There is such a lack of discernment in the American church today, that I scratch my head over it in disbelief. We need to pray for these gullible people who go to these types of churches.
Yup. That's my take on it too. Andy is trying to remake Christianity in a form that he likes and what he thinks will get him more followers and more money.
I would ask Mr. Stanley: "What's harder for God to do: rise from the dead and create the entire Universe," or fit 8 people and a bunch of animals on a boat?" Take your time and think on it, Sir... take your time. I had a buddy once who said he couldn't believe the story of Jonah living in the belly of a fish for 3 days. I said much the same to him... "If you can't believe that, how could you ever believe that Jesus Christ rose from the grave?"

It's a great description of Charles Stanley's lifetime of preaching. Andy Stanley is the predictable fruit of Charles Stanley's lifetime of shallow teaching and personal hypocrisy.
@@katherinecornette5315 I’ve read that Andy told his father that he did not feel called to ministry, but asked if he could volunteer. Charles said yes and Andy became a youth minister.
@@Teetech37 God chooses whom He will. You won't want to learn or be a Christian if you're not being pulled by God. Jesus said...remember I chose YOU, you did not chose Me. God chooses us in HIS time frame.
The original sin is showing in Andy's theology, in that he thinks every one has the power to shape and mold their Christianity to their own personal truths and beliefs. Just take what suits you from the Bible and throw out the rest, you can be your own god with a small g.
I attended First Baptist in the 1980’s. Dr. Stanley taught us the truth and did not waver. Not sure what happened to Andy. He was around the singles department some but don’t really remember seeing him much or him having much involvement there. He probably attended a different church. 🙂
I used to listen to Dr. Charles Stanley all through my 20's, although I'm so thankful he helped me with practical life wisdom and interpersonal relationships, his sermons never convicted me of sin. It wasn't until my late 30's that someone unapologetically told me that people that practice fornication and sexual sin will not inheret the kingdom of God and God is not going to wink at me and tell me it's ok because I'm special, only then did I feel the fear of the Lord and thank God! Now that I'm not all blinded by sin I can see that, not only, my greatest potential to do good for Gods glory but also my greatest intimacy with God will only come when I practice a sanctified life.
Shocks me. Because his Dad , Charles Stanley was a decent preacher. I got saved listening to his dad years ago preaching how we are not saved by good works. So sad his Son is not solid.
Andy Stanley had one the best teachers of the 20th & 21st century as a father. Charles Stanley must’ve grieved over his son’s heresy and apostasy when he was alive and I assume did what he could to correct his son.
My heart goes out to Andy. He's under the influence of the devil, and we should pray for him to get back to what his dad taught him all his life. 🌿✝️🌿🙏🙏🙏
I'm not sure his Dad taught him anything. There's a documentary about the family on UA-cam that's worth a watch and brings up more questions than it answers. The wrong questions.

@@briandrake5464 Exactly. Andy Stanley is the predictable fruit of Charles Stanley's lifetime of shallow teaching and personal hypocrisy. His sermons were more 'Christian' pep talk than anything else.
He believes Christianity to be too exclusive, and wants to be popular and loved - not share hard Truths. but in his effort to be inclusive and kind, he’s actually loving people to hell.
I keep hearing that Charles Stanley committed adultery and that he refused to step down for a while as some asked him to do. Is this true? Did he fall into adultery for real?
@tmo4330 No, he did not.. But he did get a divorce, and because of that, he offered to step down from being a leader in the SBC, but they did not want him to step down.
@@potent1895 y do fundamentalists, say his dad was as bad then. Thought they were supposed to be singing from the same hymn sheet ? Which bible obsessed, group is correct
I was talking about the virgin birth the other day with a self professing Christian and he said that he does not believe in it. I told him, respectfully that it was heretical and that there would have been no point to the cross if that was the case. We need to start being comfortable defending the faith because so many people are EASILY deceived these days.
"There would have been no point to the cross" - with respect, that is also non-Biblical Augustinian teaching. Romans 8:3 and Hebrews 2:14-18 reject the claim that Christ skipped what we inherit from Adam. He took our nature, albeit by a virgin birth, precisely so that He could obey in our place, and then die in our place. But giving Christ's humanity a better moral position than ours makes Him an inadequate substitute for us.
@@jonathanccast wow you just opened a whole rabbit hole for me haha. I think the reason I said that was because the person I was talking to was saying that we could become divine like Christ and was drawing other wild conclusions from not holding the belief of immaculate conception. He was using it as an excuse to say that sex outside of marriage was okay as well, assuming that Mary and joseph were in sin in that manner.
Yeah, that's what I don't understand about people who pretend we don't have to believe the biblical accounts of the Old Testament. Jesus and the New Testament writers studied the Old Testament, so if anyone knew whether or not it was accurate, it would have been them. Jesus would have said something if the OT had been inaccurate.
@@KevinSmith-gu7fb I'm sure that the objection would be "He wouldn't have necessarily said they were untrue". The problem however, is not that He didn't say they were untrue, but rather that He explicitly affirmed the OT scriptures.
Yep. Furthermore, A genealogy is given in Luke 3 of Jesus that goes all the way back to Adam, something that wouldn't have been mentioned if Genesis wasn't recorded history (also in accordance with genealogies recorded in 1 Chronicles 1), and Noah too was included in that genealogy.
@@tnowandthen-t8t This is the second comment you’ve responded to with the same text. Why are you on this personal vendetta? If you really cared about the church of Jesus Christ, your comments here wouldn’t be so abrupt.
@@CatfishHeaven777 The the facts have been out there in public for many years now. *Charles Stanley admitted to neglecting his family when he became pastor of 1st Baptist Atlanta. *Charles' wife, while they were married, suddenly needed to have fairly major surgery. Charles was scheduled to go on a Christian cruise where he was the featured teacher. His wife begged him to stay with her through the surgery. He refused, and went on the cruise, leaving his wife to face it alone. *Stanley and his son went to a SECULAR psychologist to learn how to get along together. Not even to a Christian. To an unbeliever. *This was "needed" because of what Andy Stanley (who is a full-blown heretic) described as their "screaming matches". *During the period that Andy was a co-pastor (or whatever they called him) at his father's church, they could barely speak to each other. *Stanley's wife first separated from him, then divorced him. She never remarried. (There was no suggestion of adultery by either of them.) *Stanley promised to step down if she divorced him. *He did not step down. (Which makes him an oath breaker.) Although, to her credit, Mrs. Stanley kept quiet about the details of her leaving, it would be a very surprising thing if the "screaming matches" (that's a direct quote from Andy) were only between father and son. Charles Stanley demonstrated that his priorities are not God's priorities when he did not keep his promise to resign if she divorced him. Even though his marriage was a shambles, he never even paused in his "ministry". He never even took a small break! A godly man would have been ashamed to continue with a public ministry after the breakup of his home. Charles Stanley showed no shame. It was all brushed off as just, "Well, these things happen." God makes clear that the family life is THE first qualification for ministry. Charles Stanley's actions made it clear that his speaking gift was the only qualification he thought he needed. Further, Stanley's ministry, while not unsound in the sense that he held evil doctrine, was shallow at best. The fruit of this is seen in his son. He didn't teach the Scriptures, he gave 'Christian' pep talks.
@@TVHouseHistorian The "church" has idolized an evil man, to the point that simply pointing out public facts is seen as "attacking" him. Andy Stanley heresy is the direct4 result of Charles' infatuation with being the Big Shot Preacher, when he was not qualified in any way to be a pastor. If you love truth, you automatically hate lies. And vice versa.
@@timothykeith1367 thousands of sheep he is leading astray, but not by the one person who has the ability to affirm him on judgment day - Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
I was an atheist, converted away from atheism in 1993. I do jot understand these teachers trying to 'fit in' with secular intellectuals by diluting the text, attacking literalist and over playing 'fundamentalist'. Yes, we should believe in the fundamentals of the predominant historical nature of the text, tye very real and historical interaction of God and man in real time. Death and decay came as a result of Gods judgement of Adams sins. The flood, Babel, The Patriarchs, Joseph, Moses, the Exodus, Saul and David, Esther, Daniel, The Gospeks, Acts.....the prophets and Revelation. That Jesus return is literal and physical. That there will be a new heaven and earth after the Millennium. And the lost will experience, sadly, an eternal existence in the outer darkness. As an ex-atheist, I do not see why this is so hard. The Bible is true, Jesus is The Truth.
It's not a "flub" if it's a plan carefully made and carefully executed. Andy Stanley knows exactly what he is doing and that's building an argument that he only has to believe what he wants to believe. It's classic deconstruction towards progressivism.
I had listened to Andy Stanley for years and would encourage others to watch. Years ago I moved and had no access to his programs. Years later I have access again. What on earth happened?!?!? He's a great motivational speaker but now he's turned secular. He needs to stop calling himself a preacher because he's giving false teaching. I don't even watch him anymore.
Do I have this straight? We’re supposed to hang our head and in an apologetic tone say Do you maybe want to get saved? You don’t have to believe much. It won’t inconvenience you. Oh, and you don’t even need to read that outdated front part of the Bible. Did I get that right?
I truly like the way you simplified that…to that I would also say,why even bother telling someone about the “gospel according to Andy”? After all, they won’t even have to change a thing. SMH
I am honestly baffled by Mr. Stanley. He can't possibly possess a level of hubris that would inspire teaching that counters 2,000 years of Church history. Could he?
@@jacobsecor5015 I'm wondering what he thinks when he looks in the mirror. You've gotta be high-minded of yourself to spew that nonsense. He needs to humble himself if Jesus is who he's preaching. It's not about him. It's almost as if he's trying to get as many believers as he can in through the back door.
This reminds me of many incidents in the old testament where the fathers would do right in the eyes of the Lord and then their sons would turn and do evil in the sight of the Lord. It's so sad
It really is a terrible thing to see false teachers and prophets like Andy Stanley lead so many people astray. It's like he puts an opposite spin on everything the Bible is actually teaching. Heresy at It's finest.
I went to NPCC and they dont do church discipline. If was cult-ish even 17 yrs ago when i went there. So glad the Lord led me out of there. Praise God for discernment and His amazing grace that saved a wretch like me.
Please pray for my family and I we desperately need to find a new place to live and would really appreciate a few prayers for that, thank you and God bless you all!!!!!
the mere fact that this man is standing on the stage and spreading his heresies is such a great proof to me of God's mercy and favor to man... let's pray for them that they will be healed.
Andy Stanley is a new kind of Marcionite, his theory is different from the ancient church heretic Marcion, but they both reached the same conclusion, that Scripture is not of divine revelation and that they can cut it up with scissors. His "unhitching" the Old Testament is indistinguishable from Marcion throwing out the entire Old Testament and taking scissors to every Old Testament quote in the New Testament.
When Yeshua was being arrested He clearly says I Am and the soldiers kneeled. Why? Because He was intimidating? No, because He’s God. Andy Stanley has gone off the reservation completely
I have many friends that go to his church having lived in that part of GA for 30 years. I want to ask them about Andy's teachings. I went a few times with some of them to Northpoint (when they took me in after my husband left me), but it wasn't for me even though some of his sermons weren't as bad then as I'm hearing now.
Andy Stanley is the absolute definition of wolf in sheep's clothing. I live in the Atlanta area, and I've been to one of his churches a few times with family (who luckily I finally convinced to leave), and know plenty of people who attend. What people need to realize about the North Point church network is that it is a business masquerading as a church. What truly makes Stanley the wolf in sheep's clothing is his carefully crafted persona. He isn't blatant about his intentions like a Copeland or Osteen, opting to dress down and pretend it's not about the money. However, look where his churches are built! Every single one, including the one that is currently under construction in Cobb County is in a highly affluent area. Notice also that they do not perform a single act of charity that isn't captured on camera. I have never seen that church once help anyone in a situation that couldn't be used to gain publicity. As a matter of fact, one of the people I know attended there for years, and when they had a personal emergency and asked the church for assistance, was rejected and told that they needed financial counseling instead. Mr. Stanley is selling his church through a phony persona and a weak message that rejects the Word.
Andy Stanley placed himself outside of Christian orthodoxy when he said "Jesus never played the God card". He didn't? Really? He most certainly did say he was God! My belief: What Andy Stanley routinely says (and thinks in his heart, no doubt) is "Exhibit A" for blaspheming the Holy Spirit, the only unforgivable sin. He's gone.
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Evelyn Vera, you're a miracle.
Stanley is definatly like my liberal minister in the 60s. Some of this is oh, look at me stuff. Some is his basic rejection of the OT, and now the whole Bible because some of his target group would have hurt feelings
At the risk of sounding unloving, I have to say this: I’m glad God took Charles Stanley home before he heard this. I think Andy is much worse now that Charles is gone.
He’s called Andy, he and his dad had issues. Now that his dad went on to Heaven. He will distoroy Charles Stanley’s name . An ministry . It’s sad his dad taught him so much . If he wanted to follow his dads foot steps why would he destroy an confuse people .anger because .Charles an Andy’s mom separated. Andy’s has had issues sence. He needs a lot of prayers
I would like to make an articulate, erudite, astute and highly intellectual statement regarding Andy’s preaching, if I may impose upon all viewers. Here’s my succinct and thoughtful analysis of what I have heard from Stanley over the last several years regarding his hermeneutic: “It’s poop.” Thank you very much.
My sister and I had a difference of opinion about how to present the gospel - I was of the mindset that people should know what they have to give up to get saved. Its not just believe in Jesus and God is love and your are good. Its repenting: but I sort of think that a person might want to know what is keeping them from being saved. Like if they have a habitual sin - dont they have to turn that over to Him? I asked her what do you tell someone who has a gay marriage if they ask you what do I have to do to become saved? I keep thinking of Jesus and the rich young ruler and how he dealt with him.
Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is what we are instructed to do, but convicting people of their personal sins through repentance is the Holy Spirit's job. Don't take the bait, that is a tactic of the enemy to throw you off. 👹 Just sew the seed and don't argue. Easier said than done, I know! God bless you for your work to bring lost souls to the Lord Jesus Christ! 💖✝️🛐
But sharing the gospel is the message of repentance. So are we not supposed to tell them what they need to repent of? Are we supposed to keep that a secret? It might seem like a bait and switch. Jesus called out peoples sin that kept them from heaven in the rich young ruler Jesus stated that in order for him to be saved he had to sell everything and follow Him. The dude ran away. If someone asks what they need to do to be saved is it wrong to point out their sin if you see it? Is it supposed to be a mystery until they find out through reading the Bible?
@@timh8324 Repentance is part of it, but the message is that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and died a horrible death and shed His blood as a sacrifice to atone for our sins and rose three days later. All so we can have eternal life with Him! He is alive and at the right hand of the Father and He is coming back to judge the living and the dead. If we accept His offer, He will make us new, change our desires to sin and make us more like Him. If we choose to stay in our sinful lifestyles, we will be judged guilty and will suffer for eternity because the soul is eternal. That is the full Gospel; it isn't just about the goodness of God, or pointing out people's sins. If they ask, there are plenty of verses you can tell them about.m if you're prepared for every sin, but that is the Holy Spirit's job. If they are sincere about asking what sin is, discuss it in a very kind way and note that we all have sinned and fallen short! The type of sin you mentioned - they're notorious for asking when they already know, they just want to argue and call you a hater. It's bait. I hope this helps! I agree with you about just telling them that Jesus loves them; that isn't the gospel!!😉

This is the first time I have seen this channel and while I totally agree I am still a fan of Andy Stanley mainly because it was catching Andy on TV in the middle of the night some 10 to 12 years ago that brought me back to the truth. It is a bigger discussion but I believe he reaches people like me in the way he delivers his messages. I am today a fully committed miracle, gospel, Bible-believing student/reader of C.S. Lewis, Tim Keller, Cliff Knechtel, Sean McDowell, Gary Habermas, and many others that I owe a lot of that to the fire that Andy lit in my life.
Thank you Todd for being faithful in exposing Andy Stanley's faithless teachings. If not for the Holy Spirit and the Word that goes out in spite of heretical teaching of man we would be lost.
I would go so far as to confidently say that how Stanley conducts himself with his effeminate mannerisms & whole persona is a sin; see 1 Corinthians 6:9. That’s not to say that all men are biblically commanded to act like John Wayne or James Hetfield, but certainly are to act biblically masculine.
I would think that anyone would skirt past Our Lord and not be subject to The Wedding Parable in Matthew, being that to be born again into Christ is to live through Christ. The gate is narrow for a reason, we owe everything to God Our Father, Christ Our Lord, and The Holy Spirit.
Thank you for the clear analysis. Andy Stanley was initially trusted because of his father. He is an effective communicator but he reveals his positions only after the people allowed him within their lives, thus misleading many. Had he been clearly classified, evangelicals would not have trusted him.

Teachers of God's Word will incur a greater judgement for how they handle God's truth. Andy is in serious trouble. Praying for him.
Andy, in my opinion, appears to be an angry, bitter “preachers son” who is getting back at his dad by distorting Christianity because he actually hates Christianity. He has to be different than his dad just to sock it to him. The sad part, is that he is leading people astray and he will pay dearly for it when he stands before Christ, and unfortunately so will his flock for not truly studying and learning the truth of God’s word. There is such a lack of discernment in the American church today, that I scratch my head over it in disbelief. We need to pray for these gullible people who go to these types of churches.
Yup. That's my take on it too. Andy is trying to remake Christianity in a form that he likes and what he thinks will get him more followers and more money.
Many at Northpoint grew up in his father's congregation
Some preachers don’t pour into their heir family what they pour into the church.
False teachers count on their congregation being IGNORANT of the scriptures.

The original sin is showing in Andy's theology, in that he thinks every one has the power to shape and mold their Christianity to their own personal truths and beliefs. Just take what suits you from the Bible and throw out the rest, you can be your own god with a small g.

Same here. Charles Stanley was an excellent teacher of the Bible. I miss him too...
I attended First Baptist in the 1980’s. Dr. Stanley taught us the truth and did not waver. Not sure what happened to Andy. He was around the singles department some but don’t really remember seeing him much or him having much involvement there. He probably attended a different church. 🙂
I used to listen to Dr. Charles Stanley all through my 20's, although I'm so thankful he helped me with practical life wisdom and interpersonal relationships, his sermons never convicted me of sin. It wasn't until my late 30's that someone unapologetically told me that people that practice fornication and sexual sin will not inheret the kingdom of God and God is not going to wink at me and tell me it's ok because I'm special, only then did I feel the fear of the Lord and thank God! Now that I'm not all blinded by sin I can see that, not only, my greatest potential to do good for Gods glory but also my greatest intimacy with God will only come when I practice a sanctified life.
Thanks, Mr. Todd Friel for giving us the truth about this atrocity on the gospel!
Shocks me. Because his Dad , Charles Stanley was a decent preacher. I got saved listening to his dad years ago preaching how we are not saved by good works. So sad his Son is not solid.
Andy Stanley had one the best teachers of the 20th & 21st century as a father. Charles Stanley must’ve grieved over his son’s heresy and apostasy when he was alive and I assume did what he could to correct his son.

He believes Christianity to be too exclusive, and wants to be popular and loved - not share hard Truths. but in his effort to be inclusive and kind, he’s actually loving people to hell.
Yup. He's trying to "widen" the gate, and that is impossible.
He is night and day from what his Dad believed and taught, you know the Bible....
I keep hearing that Charles Stanley committed adultery and that he refused to step down for a while as some asked him to do. Is this true? Did he fall into adultery for real?
@tmo4330 No, he did not.. But he did get a divorce, and because of that, he offered to step down from being a leader in the SBC, but they did not want him to step down.

@@RevanJJ why do many fundamentalists say Charles was as bad as Andy then. I think there both good
@ I haven’t encountered anyone that says that and I live near his church and went to it. No one’s perfect but Andy is teaching borderline heresy.
I was talking about the virgin birth the other day with a self professing Christian and he said that he does not believe in it. I told him, respectfully that it was heretical and that there would have been no point to the cross if that was the case. We need to start being comfortable defending the faith because so many people are EASILY deceived these days.
"There would have been no point to the cross" - with respect, that is also non-Biblical Augustinian teaching. Romans 8:3 and Hebrews 2:14-18 reject the claim that Christ skipped what we inherit from Adam. He took our nature, albeit by a virgin birth, precisely so that He could obey in our place, and then die in our place. But giving Christ's humanity a better moral position than ours makes Him an inadequate substitute for us.
@@jonathanccast wow you just opened a whole rabbit hole for me haha. I think the reason I said that was because the person I was talking to was saying that we could become divine like Christ and was drawing other wild conclusions from not holding the belief of immaculate conception. He was using it as an excuse to say that sex outside of marriage was okay as well, assuming that Mary and joseph were in sin in that manner.
@@daniisbored212 why do u talk about Heresy so casually The world thinks all Christians are Heretics. Look at Latimer, Ridley, Huss.
Jesus Himself referred to the miracle accounts like Jonah and Noah as history.
Yeah, that's what I don't understand about people who pretend we don't have to believe the biblical accounts of the Old Testament. Jesus and the New Testament writers studied the Old Testament, so if anyone knew whether or not it was accurate, it would have been them. Jesus would have said something if the OT had been inaccurate.
@@KevinSmith-gu7fb I'm sure that the objection would be "He wouldn't have necessarily said they were untrue". The problem however, is not that He didn't say they were untrue, but rather that He explicitly affirmed the OT scriptures.
Thank the Lord that He affirmed the OT.
Yep. Furthermore, A genealogy is given in Luke 3 of Jesus that goes all the way back to Adam, something that wouldn't have been mentioned if Genesis wasn't recorded history (also in accordance with genealogies recorded in 1 Chronicles 1), and Noah too was included in that genealogy.
Charles would be disappointed

@@tnowandthen-t8t This is the second comment you’ve responded to with the same text. Why are you on this personal vendetta? If you really cared about the church of Jesus Christ, your comments here wouldn’t be so abrupt.
@@CatfishHeaven777 The the facts have been out there in public for many years now.
*Charles Stanley admitted to neglecting his family when he became pastor of 1st Baptist Atlanta.
*Charles' wife, while they were married, suddenly needed to have fairly major surgery. Charles was scheduled to go on a Christian cruise where he was the featured teacher. His wife begged him to stay with her through the surgery. He refused, and went on the cruise, leaving his wife to face it alone.
*Stanley and his son went to a SECULAR psychologist to learn how to get along together. Not even to a Christian. To an unbeliever.
*This was "needed" because of what Andy Stanley (who is a full-blown heretic) described as their "screaming matches".
*During the period that Andy was a co-pastor (or whatever they called him) at his father's church, they could barely speak to each other.
*Stanley's wife first separated from him, then divorced him. She never remarried. (There was no suggestion of adultery by either of them.)
*Stanley promised to step down if she divorced him.
*He did not step down. (Which makes him an oath breaker.)
Although, to her credit, Mrs. Stanley kept quiet about the details of her leaving, it would be a very surprising thing if the "screaming matches" (that's a direct quote from Andy) were only between father and son.
Charles Stanley demonstrated that his priorities are not God's priorities when he did not keep his promise to resign if she divorced him. Even though his marriage was a shambles, he never even paused in his "ministry". He never even took a small break! A godly man would have been ashamed to continue with a public ministry after the breakup of his home. Charles Stanley showed no shame. It was all brushed off as just, "Well, these things happen."
God makes clear that the family life is THE first qualification for ministry. Charles Stanley's actions made it clear that his speaking gift was the only qualification he thought he needed.
Further, Stanley's ministry, while not unsound in the sense that he held evil doctrine, was shallow at best. The fruit of this is seen in his son. He didn't teach the Scriptures, he gave 'Christian' pep talks.
@@TVHouseHistorian The "church" has idolized an evil man, to the point that simply pointing out public facts is seen as "attacking" him. Andy Stanley heresy is the direct4 result of Charles' infatuation with being the Big Shot Preacher, when he was not qualified in any way to be a pastor.
If you love truth, you automatically hate lies.
And vice versa.
This apple was yeeted from the tree!! All levity aside, Andy needs our prayers that he will repent of this heresy.
😂😂😂 hilarious. YEET!
Andy Stanley has no need of repentance - he is being affirmed by thousands like himself every week.
@@timothykeith1367 thousands of sheep he is leading astray, but not by the one person who has the ability to affirm him on judgment day - Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
@@timothykeith1367 Please tell me this comment was a joke. That you're being facetious....right?
I'm glad his father Charles Stanly isn't alive to see how far he's departed from the faith (if he ever had it in the first place).
Ok
I was an atheist, converted away from atheism in 1993. I do jot understand these teachers trying to 'fit in' with secular intellectuals by diluting the text, attacking literalist and over playing 'fundamentalist'.
Yes, we should believe in the fundamentals of the predominant historical nature of the text, tye very real and historical interaction of God and man in real time. Death and decay came as a result of Gods judgement of Adams sins. The flood, Babel, The Patriarchs, Joseph, Moses, the Exodus, Saul and David, Esther, Daniel, The Gospeks, Acts.....the prophets and Revelation.
That Jesus return is literal and physical.
That there will be a new heaven and earth after the Millennium. And the lost will experience, sadly, an eternal existence in the outer darkness.
As an ex-atheist, I do not see why this is so hard. The Bible is true, Jesus is The Truth.
Amen!!
It's not a "flub" if it's a plan carefully made and carefully executed. Andy Stanley knows exactly what he is doing and that's building an argument that he only has to believe what he wants to believe. It's classic deconstruction towards progressivism.
Andy Stanley no doubt has been exposed to the Scriptures since his youth, therefore he has no excuse.
His father left such a legacy and he is crapping all over it 😢
The opposite of his father. Sad 😔
I had listened to Andy Stanley for years and would encourage others to watch. Years ago I moved and had no access to his programs. Years later I have access again. What on earth happened?!?!? He's a great motivational speaker but now he's turned secular. He needs to stop calling himself a preacher because he's giving false teaching. I don't even watch him anymore.
Do I have this straight? We’re supposed to hang our head and in an apologetic tone say Do you maybe want to get saved? You don’t have to believe much. It won’t inconvenience you. Oh, and you don’t even need to read that outdated front part of the Bible. Did I get that right?
I truly like the way you simplified that…to that I would also say,why even bother telling someone about the “gospel according to Andy”? After all, they won’t even have to change a thing. SMH
According to Andy Stanley, that is correct. Amazing, isn't it?
I am honestly baffled by Mr. Stanley. He can't possibly possess a level of hubris that would inspire teaching that counters 2,000 years of Church history. Could he?
I always just wonder what his dad thinks...
@@jacobsecor5015 I'm wondering what he thinks when he looks in the mirror. You've gotta be high-minded of yourself to spew that nonsense. He needs to humble himself if Jesus is who he's preaching. It's not about him. It's almost as if he's trying to get as many believers as he can in through the back door.
The baffling part it how people are still attending there
It's not a blunder, it's intentional deception.
This reminds me of many incidents in the old testament where the fathers would do right in the eyes of the Lord and then their sons would turn and do evil in the sight of the Lord. It's so sad
Wise in his on eyes.
It really is a terrible thing to see false teachers and prophets like Andy Stanley lead so many people astray. It's like he puts an opposite spin on everything the Bible is actually teaching. Heresy at It's finest.
I went to NPCC and they dont do church discipline. If was cult-ish even 17 yrs ago when i went there. So glad the Lord led me out of there. Praise God for discernment and His amazing grace that saved a wretch like me.
Please pray for my family and I we desperately need to find a new place to live and would really appreciate a few prayers for that, thank you and God bless you all!!!!!

the mere fact that this man is standing on the stage and spreading his heresies is such a great proof to me of God's mercy and favor to man... let's pray for them that they will be healed.
Almost like he’s rebelling against his dad.
Andy Stanley is a new kind of Marcionite, his theory is different from the ancient church heretic Marcion, but they both reached the same conclusion, that Scripture is not of divine revelation and that they can cut it up with scissors. His "unhitching" the Old Testament is indistinguishable from Marcion throwing out the entire Old Testament and taking scissors to every Old Testament quote in the New Testament.
His father taught him as a child to listen for Gods voice to know truth. Andy admitted this himself

When Yeshua was being arrested He clearly says I Am and the soldiers kneeled. Why? Because He was intimidating? No, because He’s God. Andy Stanley has gone off the reservation completely
Andy Stanley needs to stop calling himself a Christian and stop speaking on the topic of Christian faith.
He's just the next wave of seeker sensitive teaching, adapting the gospel to please modern ears.
The miracle of the conception of Jesus is up there being vital to the Christian belief.
I wonder about the private discussions, or arguments Andy has had with his dad( the late Charles Stanley) about Andys' very askewed teaching.
I have many friends that go to his church having lived in that part of GA for 30 years. I want to ask them about Andy's teachings. I went a few times with some of them to Northpoint (when they took me in after my husband left me), but it wasn't for me even though some of his sermons weren't as bad then as I'm hearing now.
He is actively deceiving people. He’s doing this on purpose. Better a millstone…
His dad Charles Stanley would be so disappointed in his son. So sad. Dr Stanley was a great Godly man.
@@Karelife I don’t think so
What good is it to be a Christian in name only? Yet with everything that Andy is stripping from the Bible, that's all we're getting.
Andy Stanley is the absolute definition of wolf in sheep's clothing. I live in the Atlanta area, and I've been to one of his churches a few times with family (who luckily I finally convinced to leave), and know plenty of people who attend. What people need to realize about the North Point church network is that it is a business masquerading as a church. What truly makes Stanley the wolf in sheep's clothing is his carefully crafted persona. He isn't blatant about his intentions like a Copeland or Osteen, opting to dress down and pretend it's not about the money. However, look where his churches are built! Every single one, including the one that is currently under construction in Cobb County is in a highly affluent area. Notice also that they do not perform a single act of charity that isn't captured on camera. I have never seen that church once help anyone in a situation that couldn't be used to gain publicity. As a matter of fact, one of the people I know attended there for years, and when they had a personal emergency and asked the church for assistance, was rejected and told that they needed financial counseling instead.
Mr. Stanley is selling his church through a phony persona and a weak message that rejects the Word.
Andy Stanley placed himself outside of Christian orthodoxy when he said "Jesus never played the God card". He didn't? Really? He most certainly did say he was God! My belief: What Andy Stanley routinely says (and thinks in his heart, no doubt) is "Exhibit A" for blaspheming the Holy Spirit, the only unforgivable sin. He's gone.
Andy is man enough to vote for Harris...smh😒
Andy comes across as an effeminate male.
So sad. I continue to pray he sees his error. His dad was so excellent . 😢
If you don’t believe that the Bible is 100% absolute in its entirety then you cannot call yourself a Christian.
It could be that he is deliberately burning old bridges and trying to build new ones so that he would be accepted when he gets out of the closet...

Stanley is definatly like my liberal minister in the 60s. Some of this is oh, look at me stuff. Some is his basic rejection of the OT, and now the whole Bible because some of his target group would have hurt feelings
I love this man, Mr Todd Friel.
At the risk of sounding unloving, I have to say this: I’m glad God took Charles Stanley home before he heard this. I think Andy is much worse now that Charles is gone.
How did Andy get so far off track? Is this simply from fatherly neglect or was there more disfunction going on during his upbringing? Makes no sense.
He’s called Andy, he and his dad had issues. Now that his dad went on to Heaven. He will distoroy Charles Stanley’s name . An ministry . It’s sad his dad taught him so much . If he wanted to follow his dads foot steps why would he destroy an confuse people .anger because .Charles an Andy’s mom separated. Andy’s has had issues sence. He needs a lot of prayers
I'm pretty sure that Andy Stanley's father spent many many nights in prayer of what his son was becoming.
I would like to make an articulate, erudite, astute and highly intellectual statement regarding Andy’s preaching, if I may impose upon all viewers. Here’s my succinct and thoughtful analysis of what I have heard from Stanley over the last several years regarding his hermeneutic: “It’s poop.” Thank you very much.
Bravo! 👏Very well said. LOL
My sister and I had a difference of opinion about how to present the gospel - I was of the mindset that people should know what they have to give up to get saved. Its not just believe in Jesus and God is love and your are good. Its repenting: but I sort of think that a person might want to know what is keeping them from being saved. Like if they have a habitual sin - dont they have to turn that over to Him? I asked her what do you tell someone who has a gay marriage if they ask you what do I have to do to become saved? I keep thinking of Jesus and the rich young ruler and how he dealt with him.
Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is what we are instructed to do, but convicting people of their personal sins through repentance is the Holy Spirit's job. Don't take the bait, that is a tactic of the enemy to throw you off. 👹 Just sew the seed and don't argue. Easier said than done, I know! God bless you for your work to bring lost souls to the Lord Jesus Christ! 💖✝️🛐
But sharing the gospel is the message of repentance. So are we not supposed to tell them what they need to repent of? Are we supposed to keep that a secret? It might seem like a bait and switch. Jesus called out peoples sin that kept them from heaven in the rich young ruler Jesus stated that in order for him to be saved he had to sell everything and follow Him. The dude ran away. If someone asks what they need to do to be saved is it wrong to point out their sin if you see it? Is it supposed to be a mystery until they find out through reading the Bible?
@@timh8324 Repentance is part of it, but the message is that Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life and died a horrible death and shed His blood as a sacrifice to atone for our sins and rose three days later. All so we can have eternal life with Him! He is alive and at the right hand of the Father and He is coming back to judge the living and the dead. If we accept His offer, He will make us new, change our desires to sin and make us more like Him. If we choose to stay in our sinful lifestyles, we will be judged guilty and will suffer for eternity because the soul is eternal. That is the full Gospel; it isn't just about the goodness of God, or pointing out people's sins. If they ask, there are plenty of verses you can tell them about.m if you're prepared for every sin, but that is the Holy Spirit's job. If they are sincere about asking what sin is, discuss it in a very kind way and note that we all have sinned and fallen short!
The type of sin you mentioned - they're notorious for asking when they already know, they just want to argue and call you a hater. It's bait.
I hope this helps! I agree with you about just telling them that Jesus loves them; that isn't the gospel!!😉

The type of s*n you mentioned - they're notorious for asking when they already know, they just want to argue and call you a ha*er. It's bait.
I hope this helps! I agree with you about just telling them that Jesus loves them; that isn't the gospel!!😉
@@timh8324 YT absolutely banning my response in pure comm*e form. I even tried asterisking all the words it doesn't like!☹️
This is the first time I have seen this channel and while I totally agree I am still a fan of Andy Stanley mainly because it was catching Andy on TV in the middle of the night some 10 to 12 years ago that brought me back to the truth. It is a bigger discussion but I believe he reaches people like me in the way he delivers his messages. I am today a fully committed miracle, gospel, Bible-believing student/reader of C.S. Lewis, Tim Keller, Cliff Knechtel, Sean McDowell, Gary Habermas, and many others that I owe a lot of that to the fire that Andy lit in my life.
I ask this respectfully, but do you read and study the Bible yourself, or do you mainly follow these teachers?
Thank you Todd for being faithful in exposing Andy Stanley's faithless teachings. If not for the Holy Spirit and the Word that goes out in spite of heretical teaching of man we would be lost.
I have been watching you for a while and I am glad you do call out false teachers
I live in metro ATL and am amazed at how so many just blindly follow his rubbish
I would go so far as to confidently say that how Stanley conducts himself with his effeminate mannerisms & whole persona is a sin; see 1 Corinthians 6:9.
That’s not to say that all men are biblically commanded to act like John Wayne or James Hetfield, but certainly are to act biblically masculine.
Let me guess. He thinks homosexual who haven't repented will be saved.
This is nightmarish discussion. I was told the story of Jesus could be understood by a child. When did it get so complicated.
It’s plain to see Andy Stanley Has unhitched himself from the Bible many months ago
Thanks brother Todd ..!!
I love the way you dissect the whole Andy’s not reliable so called teaching ..
Love you in Christ brother !!
I would think that anyone would skirt past Our Lord and not be subject to The Wedding Parable in Matthew, being that to be born again into Christ is to live through Christ. The gate is narrow for a reason, we owe everything to God Our Father, Christ Our Lord, and The Holy Spirit.
Andy seems to enjoy making stuff up.
That’s no Christian. People should leave that guy’s church ASAP.
Thank you for the clear analysis. Andy Stanley was initially trusted because of his father. He is an effective communicator but he reveals his positions only after the people allowed him within their lives, thus misleading many. Had he been clearly classified, evangelicals would not have trusted him.
