Did Shai Linne Really Name “False” Teachers?

I recently posted about a new Christian hip-hop song: New Song Drops Names: “False Teachers” by Shai Linne. This song is off Shai Linne’s new album Lyrical Theology, Pt. 1: Theology which releases April 9, 2013.

In the song Linne names 12 false Bible teachers which I listed in the above post. A

commenter in that post suggested some evidence needs to be shown why Linne and others call these 12 false teachers. Hence, my question of whether the teachers Shai Linne named are really “false” teachers.

Below I’ve provided a examples of false teachings from each of the teachers Linne mentions in his song. Most of the quotes were take from Christianity In Crisis: The 21st Century by Hank Hanegraaff as footnoted. I used the Logos Bible Software edition so there are no page numbers. Hanegraaff did not write much about Eddie Long so I’ve referenced some material from Victor Stephens as you’ll see below. I used YouTube as well which allows you to hear each person teach in their own voice. For the record, I don’t endorse everything on a person’s YouTube channel that I’m linking to.

• Our words are vital in bringing our dreams to pass. It’s not enough to simply see it by faith or in your imagination. You have to begin speaking words of faith over your life. Your words have enormous creative power. The moment you speak something out, you give birth to it. This is a spiritual principle, and it works whether what you are saying is good or bad, positive or negative.  Joel Osteen, Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential (New York: Warner Faith, 2004)   Continue at Here I Blog
