Beware Of Thomas Nelson Publishers And Doreen Virtue

Hebrews 1:1-2, “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;”

God is not speaking today to Muslims or anyone else through dreams and visions. Dear reader, we are living in times of woeful Satanic deception. Jesus warned us that MANY FALSE PROPHETS would come in His name. Matthew 24:5, “For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” The Lord warned us that not just a few, but MANY false teachers, would come professing the name of Jesus to deceive us. We find a group of false converts in Matthew 7:21-23. They called Jesus, “LORD, LORD,” but He did not know them at all. 

I was disgusted today to learn that Nelson Publishers is selling and promoting a book by false prophetess' Doreen Virtue. Miss Virtue claims that she saw a vision on January 7, 2017 at a liberal church she attended. Doreen states:

“So at that liberal church, on January 7, 2017, I had a vision, and at the time I really thought it was Jesus. It was this man, in dark hair, dark skin, with a big bright light coming out of his chest, that I could feel the light.” —False Prophetess Doreen Virtue, 'Apostasy Report: Doreen Virtue Is Still Deceived'

In her book preview for “Deceived No More: How JESUS Led Me out of NEW AGE and into HIS WORD,” on Amazon.com, on page 99 (you have to login to read it), she says:

“My vision also reminds me of the reports from Muslims who have dreams or visions of a 'man in a white robe,' which leads them to embrace Christianity. Tom Doyle, author of Dreams and Visions: Is Jesus Awakening the Muslim World?' found that some Muslims' dreams point them to a specific person. They meet that person soon after having the dream, and that person turns out to be a Christian evangelizer who leads the Muslim to study the Bible and convert to Christianity.” —Doreen Virtue, “Deceived No More: How JESUS Led Me out of NEW AGE and into HIS WORD,” p. 99

Ladies and gentleman, that is of the Devil. The Bible plainly teaches in our text passage from Hebrews 1:1-2 that God does NOT speak to anyone today through dreams and visions. God speaks to us through the Son, that is, the Word of God (John 1:1-14; Revelation 19:13). Did you know that Evangelist Ray Comfort endorses Doreen's heretical book? It is true. Dr. John MacArthur's buddy, Pastor Justin Peters, has also endorsed her demonic book! Pastor Costi Hinn also bids Godspeed to this new age heretic! Shame on Nelson Publishers for publishing this heresy!

In their biography of Doreen Virtue, Thomas Nelson Publishers wrote:

Raised in Christian Science, Doreen Virtue was formerly the top-selling New Age author at the world’s largest New Age publisher, until Jesus opened her eyes to the gospel. She got baptized for the first time, began spreading the gospel message, and denouncing the New Age. After getting fired from her New Age publisher and losing most of her friends, some of her family members, enduring cruel slander and spiritual warfare, and losing her home, Doreen and her husband, Michael, began rebuilding their lives on the solid foundation of Jesus. They learned how to trust in God, instead of trying to predict or control the future. Today, they live in the Pacific Northwest where they attend a biblically solid church and Doreen attends seminary studying biblical theology so that she won’t be deceived again. [emphasis added] —Thomas Nelson Publishers, biography of Doreen Virtue

Miss Virtue ought not be writing or selling books, since she is ignorant and unlearned in the Scriptures (2nd Peter 3:16-17). Folks, beware of ANYONE who has a book to sell, let alone someone who claims to have seen a VISION! Doreen is a false prophet, who is going to make millions of dollars from the sale of her new book. As I just quoted to you, she claims to have seen a vision. Doreen doesn't know if it was Jesus or a demon that she saw, but we know whatever she may have seen, IT WAS NOT OF GOD!!! You can be assured that it was a demon, or her own mind, or whatever; BUT IT WAS NOT THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!

This is serious stuff my friend! This woman is not doctrinally sound in the faith. Doreen is NOT a born-again Christian. She is a supporter of Ray Comfort. Mr. Comfort is a nice man, but he is a dangerous false prophet theologically, who adds to the Gospel of free grace. Ray Comfort heretically says concerning salvation:

“So man, think about that. this is your eternity, you don't know when you're going to die. You know, God offers you everlasting life as a free gift, if you'll let go of your sins. And we love to fornicate, we love pornography, we love our lust; but like a kid holding onto a stick of dynamite, not realizing that it will be the death of us! So think about that. Think how much you value your eyes, and think about how much you value your life. Jesus said, 'What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” [emphasis added] —Evangelist Ray Comfort, YouTube video titled: “Ray Comfort Doesn't Share the Gospel with Him...” (video posted on May 31, 2020)

Ray Comfort teaches the heresy of Lordship Salvation, nor Free Grace Theology. Birds of a feather flock together. It's all about making lots of money with these people. Ray Comfort takes in about $4 million a year. Pastor John MacArthur has a new worth of about $14 million. Pastor David Jeremiah is worth $50 million. These are not men of God. Doreen Virtue just wants to make money, exploiting a niche in the religious world. Ken Ham is another false prophet, who takes in about $37 million per year, by exploiting the niche of creationism. These are all con artists, who promote each other, refuse to criticize one another, and live the life of Riley.

The Devil is in the religious business, and he has many entrepreneurs. Man is incurably religious! Pastor Dwight L. Moody is right, who said that most people have just enough religion to be miserable. I have never made a penny for serving God, and I never will. I do what I do for the love of Jesus and the truth, and you dear reader! Have you been deceived by Satan? We know that anyone who claims to have seen a vision, or received a dream, didn't get it from God. Sadly, Doreen is using her alleged vision on January 7, 2017 to draw much public attention to her. Millions of people will buy her book because she claims to have seen a vision. Why won't people just accept the King James Bible? John 5:43, “I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.” Beware of false prophets!!!
