Shepherd’s Chapel Live: Exposing the Missteps in Their Teachings

What False Teachings Was the Gospel of John Written For?

Have you ever wondered what false teachings the Gospel of John was written for? Turns out, John wasn’t just penning poetic verses to make us feel warm and fuzzy. No, he was fighting some grade-A heresy. First, there was Gnosticism—the idea that Jesus wasn’t fully human. According to them, He was more like some cosmic visitor who never had to deal with, you know, stubbed toes or headaches. Then, there was Docetism, which basically said Jesus was a hologram. A nice idea if you’re into science fiction, but John wasn’t having it. He set the record straight in one verse: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” No sci-fi. No ghost stories. Just Jesus—fully human, fully divine, fully here to save us.

Shepherd’s Chapel Live: The 24/7 Livestream of Confusion

Now, let’s fast-forward to today and talk about Shepherd’s Chapel. Their 24/7 livestream might seem like a spiritual buffet—always on, always available. But here’s the truth: it’s more like reheated leftovers of Arnold Murray’s sermons. Dennis Murray occasionally steps in, but it’s the same old menu of theological confusion. They mix cultural speculation with Scripture until you can’t tell what’s biblical and what’s Arnold’s imagination. Think of it like making soup and dumping in every spice you own. Sure, it’s soup, but it’s not the kind you want to eat.

The Christian Between the Gospel and Society

And what about living as a Christian between the Gospel and society? Shepherd’s Chapel makes this harder than it needs to be. The Gospel is supposed to be your guide through the mess of life, not a source of extra confusion. Take a look at the Gospel of Mark. It’s all about action. Jesus casts out demons, heals the sick, and shows His authority over everything. No fluff, no speculation—just raw, powerful truth. But Shepherd’s Chapel? They can’t seem to deliver a clear picture of Jesus’ authority. Instead, they muddy the waters with their speculative theology.

Biblically Accurate Demons? Not Here

Speaking of demons, can we talk about how Shepherd’s Chapel handles them? Biblically accurate demons are simply fallen beings who cower under Jesus’ power. But Shepherd’s Chapel spins them into something you’d expect in a Hollywood blockbuster. It’s like they’re auditioning for the next big paranormal TV series. Let’s stick to what Scripture says, shall we? Jesus has authority over demons—no drama, no speculation, just divine power.

Why Shepherd’s Chapel Misses the Mark

Here’s the bigger issue: Shepherd’s Chapel’s teachings feel stuck in speculation mode. It’s like theological karaoke—they’re taking Scripture and trying to remix it into something catchy, but it just doesn’t work. John wrote his Gospel to shut down heresies and keep people focused on Jesus’ divinity and humanity. Mark wrote his Gospel to show Jesus’ power and authority in action. Shepherd’s Chapel? They’re like that one kid in class who turns every group project into a mess by adding random ideas that don’t belong.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve ever listened to their teachings and thought, “This feels off,” congratulations—that’s your God-given discernment kicking in. Trust it. The Gospel isn’t complicated. It’s about Jesus—His life, death, resurrection, and the salvation He offers. Anything that adds extra layers of speculation just distracts from the truth.

So, here’s my advice: if you’re tuning into Shepherd’s Chapel’s 24/7 livestream or any of their teachings, compare what you’re hearing to Scripture. Not their version of it—the actual Bible. And if it doesn’t line up, walk away. Find a source of teaching that sticks to the truth without all the extra noise. Stick to what’s real, what’s biblical, and what points you to Jesus—the Word who became flesh, dwelt among us, and showed us the way, the truth, and the life.
