Colossians 2:8, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
Mike Adams filled in for Alex Jones on July 9, 2012 on The Alex Jones Show (Infowars.com). Unfortunately, although Mike clearly has a sincere heart in the matter, he is teaching a false plan of redemption. I have been a loyal listener of The Alex Jones Show since 2002 and consider Alex like a brother. I don't condemn others, for that is not man's place (James 4:12). Besides, I am the biggest sinner I know (and so are you if you're right with God—James 2:10). I have plenty of sticks in my own eyes. I condemn no man.
However, when anyone teaches spiritual matters—making BOLD and dogmatic statements concerning salvation that are false, errant and outright heresy—then I am obligated as a dutiful Christian to refute those false teachings. Souls are at stake, hanging in the balance between everlasting Heaven or Hell. I must contend for the faith.
At 0:53 seconds into the MP3 clip, Mike Adams make the following statements:
“In fact, if you are, let's say, killed standing up for what is right and what is just—defending the lives of innocent children—defending the future of life on our planet—defending humanity—If your physical body is killed for that, you know, so be it! Your soul actually is redeemed through that action, if you had the intention of protecting life, and protecting that which is sacred. So, your soul is bullet proof, they can't hurt it!”

You can hear the full presentation by Mike Adams in this lengthier 19-minute MP3 clip, where Mike explains his views on karma and works salvation. Listen to what he says. Mike teaches that if your good outweighs your bad on your “karmic record,” then your soul will be redeemed. Mike teaches that doing good to others increases your “karmic score.”
Mike Adams is teaching a works-based plan of salvation for humanity. In the past, The Alex Jones Show stuck to their original purpose to UNLOCK MINDS in an information war; but recently they've changed directions and have entered into the spiritual realm, perverting the plan of salvation in a sincere attempt to help humanity find redemption...
“It's gonna be like a balance sheet. It's like bringing up an Excel spreadsheet. ... I mean everybody's made mistakes; but can you now make up for them? Can you engage in more good and more positivity than any of the negative mistakes or harm that you might have inadvertently done before you really awakened.”

Mike never mentions Jesus Christ because he's not a born-again believer. Any attempt to redeem mankind without the cross upon which Jesus Christ died is a FALSE GOSPEL.
Adams continues on The Alex Jones Show (July 9, 2012) to say:
"Most of us believe that our souls are eternal. They exist beyond this particular biological existence, right. I mean, it's written right into Christianity for one thing. After life there is day of reckoning—there is a day of judgment—your life is reviewed—and you either go to Heaven or Hell depending on what you did.
Well, even if you don't believe that literally (I believe something like that definitely does happen), there is a reckoning, there is judgment, what you do does matter. There is an accounting for your life. So every day that you have remaining, I beg of you out there—every day of your life you have remaining is an opportunity to set your karmic record, the record of your soul, into the positive realm.”

Ladies and gentleman, that is a 100% works-based, self-righteous, false way of redemption. The road to Hell is paved with neon lights and good intentions. Alex Jones and Mike Adams sincerely want to help humanity, of that I am convinced; but they are like children who've found their father's loaded gun and don't know what they're doing spiritually. I say that kindly. Neither Mike nor Alex have any understanding of the truths of God's Word, plainly evident from their butchering of the Bible.
Mike misinterprets the Bible horribly, teaching that “what you did” in life determines whether or not a person goes to Heaven or Hell. In fact, the Bible teaches something MUCH different...
John 3:16-20, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.”
The Bible teaches that those who believe on Jesus as the Christ are saved; but those who reject Jesus Christ are already damned and hellbound in their sins. A person's works, whether good or bad, have no bearing on where they spend eternity. Salvation or damnation is determined solely by acceptance or rejection of Jesus as the Christ (Who died, was buried and rose from the dead).
Mark 1:15, “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe THE GOSPEL.”
Mike is WRONG in his concept of Christianity. Christianity is not one's good outweighing their bad; but rather, Christ Jesus died, was buried and rose from the dead; shedding His precious blood to PAY FOR OUR SINS! It is not about doing more good than bad to be saved; but rather, simply receiving the free gift of eternal life by faith in Christ's work of redemption. Here is the Gospel Biblically defined...
1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
That is the Gospel. Romans 1:16 teaches that THE GOSPEL is the power of God unto salvation to him that believeth. 2nd Timothy 3:5 says that there are many religious people who HAVE A FORM of godliness, but DENY THE POWER thereof. Any attempt to achieve the betterment of humanity without the Gospel is religious humanism (which is exactly what Alex and Mike have been led astray into).
Colossians 2:8, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
Oh my friend, CHRIST IS THE ANSWER!
It breaks my heart. I've been praying for Mike and Alex and hope they'll truly find Christ, and start proclaiming the truth of the Gospel.
John 1:10-13, “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Jesus Christ made the universe,
and yet most men do not know Him. John
1:10, “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world
knew him not.”
Mike Adams And Alex Jones Are Sincere, But Wrong!
Mike and Alex are sincere (but wrong) and I see what they're trying to accomplish, but they're teaching religious humanism. Any attempt to improve the sinful human nature without the miracle of the new birth by faith in Christ Jesus is religious humanism. It's a false Gospel that originated with Adam's fig-leaf religion, which God rejected. God killed an innocent animal and shed it's blood to provide clothes for Adam and Eve, symbolic of the Lamb of God Who shed His blood for mankind. God rejected Cain's grain sacrifice of human effort; but the Lord was pleased with Abel's blood sacrifice, again representing the shed blood of the coming Messiah.
I read a very interesting Scripture yesterday, that I've never seen before. Hebrews 11:4: “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.” That's amazing! The Bible says that Abel, even though he is dead and gone from the earth, still SPEAKS because of the blood sacrifice of the animal which he sacrificed unto the Lord. Genesis 4:2 and 4, “And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ...And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering.”
In other words, a man is remember for whether he was a Christian or not. Abel is known mostly for his faith in the blood of Jesus Christ that washed his sins away!!! To this day thousands of years later, Abel is known for one thing—his lamb sacrifice that required shedding an innocent animal's blood. Abel's lamb sacrifice was symbolic of Abel's faith in the coming Messiah—the Lamb of God—Jesus Christ. Old Testament saints were saved by looking forward to Calvary, and New Testament saints are saved by looking back to Calvary (that is, Christ's death, burial and resurrection from the dead). Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.” There has always been only one plan of salvation. People in the Old Testament were saved exactly like we are today, that is, by grace through faith plus nothing!
Ephesians 2:4-9, “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Alex Jones has been led astray by religious humanism. I love Alex as a brother, God knows my heart; but he is offering God the works of his hands as did Cain. You can't listen to a man nearly every day for 10 years without feeling like that person is a part of your life. But honestly, I just don't like visiting Infowars lately, not PrisonPlanet, because Alex is beginning to use lewd advertising to make money. It's a shame and something they've never done before. No one stands still spiritually in life. You are either moving closer to God or farther away from Him.
Mike Adams is promoting a fig-leaf religion (as did Adam) that cannot cover man's sins. Only the precious blood on Jesus Christ can save a man and cleanse his sins away!!! Mike and Adam are desperately trying to lead men to spiritual CONSCIOUSNESS; but the Bible teaches that Christ-rejecters walk in darkness. That's what we're really talking about here, that is, people are walking in darkness today!!! Mike and Alex are trying to lead people into a spiritual philosophy that will open their eyes. Albeit, the Bible tells us that only by faith in Jesus Christ can a person's eyes by opened...
Acts 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
John 8:12, “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Luke 11:35, “Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.”
John 3:19, “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”
John 1:5, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
Oh listen my friends, Jesus is the only true Light of this dark world. Humanity has no potential apart from being born anew of the Spirit of God. Romans 5:12 teaches that when Adam sinned, he opened the floodgate of sin, and so death passed upon all men, because all have sinned. Romans 5:12, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” Mankind is evil by nature. 1st John 5:19, “And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.” Mike and Alex both released videos in the first week of July that teach New Age doctrine and religious humanism. I have refuted both videos Biblically:
Alex Jones' “Stairway To The Universe” Video
Mike and Alex are teaching spirituality without a new birth. They're teaching reformation without regeneration. A man cannot truly reform for God until he is saved. The Bible warns that those who have heard the Gospel, but still look elsewhere for the truth are walking in darkness. The Alex Jones Show is presently broadcast daily over 115 nationwide Am and FM radio stations.
On the July 11, 2012 episode of The Alex Jones Show, Alex bashes preachers for “doctrinal henpecking.” This evidences the fact that Alex DOESN'T recognize the dangers of FALSE DOCTRINE. In the clip I just gave you, Alex accuses preachers who fuss over doctrine of thinking they are better than others who disagree. Nothing could be further from the truth! Alex is totally missing the truth. Alex lacks spiritual discernment. Alex says “that's why we're in so much trouble,” that is, because of preachers who henpeck over doctrine. My friend, doctrine simply means a teaching. Does not Alex Jones teach many ideas and philosophies? Yes, of course he does.
Alex teaches doctrines! I hear Alex proclaiming his teachings all the time. They are doctrines. Unsaved wicked heathens would have us believe that the lies of evolution are not doctrines, but they most certainly ARE. People associate the word “doctrine” with religious teachings, but all teachings are doctrines. Alex's problem is not with doctrines, nor preachers; but rather, with God's truth that opposes his unbiblical teachings.
Alex Jones admits that he doesn't believe we're going to become gods, nor does he believe that we can live forever on earth; but then he teaches that humanity has “potential,” and that if we'll “embrace the dreams of the universe” that our species can live forever upon the earth. Alex states, “And as long as our species is not destroyed, we truly live forever!”[1] These teachings are found in Alex's video, “HUMANITY'S GREATEST SECRET: STAIRWAY TO THE UNIVERSE.”
“Even if you don't believe in God, look at the beauty and the majesty of the universe. The universe doesn't make junk. And so don't ever feel like you're garbage. Don't ever let the system make you feel insecure and hollow inside, hoping that you never advance in your hierarchy of needs. They want to keep you stunted, while they live and we sleep—while they're conscious—while we're in a dream state!”
SOURCE: Alex Jones, “STAIRWAY TO THE UNIVERSE” (time 11:10 in video)
After watching Alex's “Stairway To The Universe” video and Mike Adams' “The God Within,” I have been sad all week, because Alex Jones (whom I consider a friend) is being deceived by the Devil (2nd Corinthians 4:4). Alex is being led away from Christ by worldly philosophies, just as Colossians 2:8 warns. Alex is promoting religious humanism, New Age and false religion on his show. I have to warn people. I've been working very hard the past few days researching, skipping my meals, enduring chronic neck pain, praying and trying diligently to understand exactly what Mike and Alex are saying. Alex dropped a RELIGIOUS BOMB SHELL on his listeners on July 8, 2012 and Mike on July 9, 2012!!!
The ironic (and amazing) thing is that I posted an article that very day titled, “Alex Jones Doesn't Preach The Gospel.” I had no idea that at the same time he was uploading a new 20-minute video titled, “Humanity's Greatest Secret: Stairway To The Universe,” which teaches religious humanism and new age concepts. Alex and Mike are into Pantheism (the belief that God is one with the universe). This is evident in Mike's “THE GOD WITHIN” video where he refers to God as “it.”
Mike Adam's believes that God is a “force,” a “consciousness,” called THE DIVINE. Mike calls God “it” (“it creates realities,” he say). This is the bullcrap that nutcase David Icke teaches!!! Yet the Bible is no where to be found. Mike Adams states:
"That creative force / intelligence / consciousness is what I call The Divine. It is divine because it is a Creator in every sense of the word. It creates realities."
SOURCE: The Higgs boson 'God Particle' discovery explained in the context of conscious cosmology
In his film, 'THE DIVINITY WITHIN,' Mike Adam's warns about “dangerous beliefs”; but his teachings are straight out of the pits of Hell beneath. Talk about dangerous. The very notion of a god within humanity is total new age. Man is man and God is God. We are created in God's image, but that does NOT mean that we have the power of God in us like Alex Teaches.
Mike Adam's DivinityNow.com website is FRIGHTENING. In the clip I just gave you, Alex says it's frightening that preachers are hen-pecking over doctrine. Instead of heeding wise rebuke from the numerous preachers who have meekly tried to steer Alex in the Lord's direction, he is defensive and bashes America's preachers. How is it frightening that preachers henpeck over doctrine? My friend, the Bible has MUCH to say about DOCTRINES. Here are just a few Scriptures...
Hebrews 13:9, “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.”
2nd John 1:9, “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.”
2nd John 1:10, “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed.”
Doctrine is the most important thing in a Christian's life next to salvation itself. I agree with Alex's criticisms against those sellout preachers who join the government's treasonous “Clergy Response Teams,” but Alex didn't say that. He's criticizing preachers who henpeck over doctrine. What doctrine is Alex talking about? All doctrines? Alex speaks of “doctrinal henpecking where everyone's being better than the other person.” Pastors are supposed to make a big issue over doctrines. It appears that Alex is upset over faithful, Bible-believing preachers who've rebuked him for teaching religious humanism instead of the Gospel. If that's doctrinal henpecking, then bring on the roosters!!! If the shoe fits, wear it!
I am not trying to be unkind to anyone, but part of being a born-again Christian is contending for the Christian faith (Jude 1:3). The Bible tells us to “REBUKE THEM SHARPLY.” The Greek word for “sharply” means “with authority,” that is, with the authority of God's inspired Word...
Titus 1:10-11 and 13, “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake... This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.”
Unlike religious books; the Bible
speaks (as did Jesus Christ) with authority. No other book in the world
speaks to humanity like the WORD OF GOD. The
King James Bible is
God's inspired Words for the English speaking world today!
What Alex And Mike Are Sincerely Trying To Achieve
They recognize that most people have been dumbed-down and indoctrinated by the evil globalist-controlled system to become willing slaves—turned into zombie-like, drugged-out, depressed, obese, uncaring, indifferent creatures who accept tyranny, oppression and a Police State.
Life has lost it's value and meaning throughout the world. Over 500,000,000 human beings have been aborted (murdered) over the past 50-years worldwide. That's more than twice the number of all the victims of every war in the past two centuries. People have embraced a culture of death! Deception and destruction are all around us and people wallow in it like pigs in the mud. It won't be long before the whacko environmentalists succeed in convincing most people that they're better off dead for the benefit of Mother Earth. It's being taught to kids in all public schools today. You're evil for washing your car twice a week, or for using too much hot water, or for drinking that 24 ounce Coca Cola!
Alex and Mike are trying to wake people up to be CONSCIOUS of what's going on! It sounds great in theory and I totally understand their message, and what they're trying to accomplish. The INFOWAR is greatly hindered because people are in a spiritual state of deadness. Mike and Alex are trying to get people to realize the awesomeness of the universe and the goodness that humanity is capable of, tapping into the image of God that we were created in. While most people are preoccupied with professional sports, television sitcoms and video games; the criminal offshore banking cartel is dismantling and bankrupting our nation, stealing everything that's bolted (and unbolted) to the floor.
Here are some statements by Mike Adams confirming what I just said:
“So for us, as Info-warriors, as truth-tellers, as people who wish to aspire to the greatness of human civilization, who wish to protect innocent life, who wish to expand the diversity of life and beauty on this planet (and that's what Alex's documentary gets to, 'Humanity's Greatest Secrets: Stairway To The Universe) and this is what my documentary talks about, 'The God Within')—if we want to achieve this greatness, we have to first respect the existence of consciousness, that we are conscious beings, that we have free will... this is what's above everything we're dealing with, right here, in the battle for freedom and liberty.”
SOURCE: Mike Adams, THE ALEX JONES SHOW; July 9, 2012 (time 7:14 in clip)
At 8:03 in the clip below, Mike further states:
“When you want to achieve victory over tyrants, you have to first have a philosophical foundation that respects, and understands and values the sacredness of life on this planet. And that means that you have to respect the fact that we have a Creator—that the universe has a Creator—that we are conscious beings; and therefore we are responsible for our actions.”
SOURCE: Mike Adams, THE ALEX JONES SHOW; July 9, 2012 (time 8:03 in clip)
At 11:35 in the clip below, Mike states:
"Allowing the emergence of reality to be acknowledged by everyone out there—so that there is no more deception, there is no more destruction, that people are free to live their lives with a sense of liberty—and with a sense of spiritual connection to that which is divine, which is all around us, everywhere That is what we fight for!”
SOURCE: Mike Adams, THE ALEX JONES SHOW; July 9, 2012 (time 11:35 in clip)
At 9:45 in the MP3 clip below, Mike Adams states:
“We have to battle this ignorance at every level including the spiritual level. So it's not just about... “Let's stand up for our first and second amendment rights, and fourth amendment rights and so on—even though that element is crucial; it's absolutely important! We also have to (and Alex Jones totally gets this); he's onboard; he's aligned with this message—we also have to win the spiritual war!”
SOURCE: Mike Adams, THE ALEX JONES SHOW; July 9, 2012 (time 9:45 in clip)
My friend, no person can win the spiritual war without the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Acts 26:18, “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Did you read that? Only by faith in Jesus Christ can a person's sins be forgiven, and turned from darkness to light. Alex Jones and Mike Adam's foolishly think they can wake people up from their slumber to spiritual enlightenment without the Bible, leaving out the cross upon which Christ died.
Mike confirms his New Age beliefs in this MP3 clip. Listen and you'll hear Mike Adams teaching karma and works salvation. Listen to what he says. Mike teaches that if your good outweighs your bad on your “karmic record,” then your soul will be redeemed. Mike teaches that doing good to others increases your “karmic score.” Mike never mentions Jesus Christ because he's not a born-again believer. Mike's a New Ager, totally! Karma is a term used by witches and new agers because they don't recognize the Biblical reality of sin. So instead of having to give account of our sins one day to God, they teach a system of karma by which one's good is measured against the bad. Sin is disobedience to God's laws. People who reject the Bible as God's inspired Words oftentimes choose to believe in karma instead, like Mike Adams. Of course, there's no such thing as karma Biblically, because sin is a fact.
My friend, any attempt to improve the nature of mankind apart from the cross of Jesus Christ is humanism...
