Please support your local foodbank drug and alcohol center. #opioidcrisis #overdose #streetoutreach #streetpastor My email john@brotherjohnelving.com My website brotherjohnelving.com My Youtube youtube.com/c/BrotherJohnElv… My Rumble rumble.com/user/BROTHERJOHNE… Facebook facebook.com/BrotherJohnstre… My Facebook group facebook.com/share/g/14jFZ5g… My Instagram instagram.com/brotherjohnstr… My whole life I struggled with drug addictions. By the grace of God, I am in my 7 years clean and sober. Now in my 5 years of full-time street ministry. I love the homeless and the addicted. When I was a teenage runaway I got involved with streetlife, gangs, jail, and homelessness. I graduated from the Teen Challenge drug addictions center and flew to Mexico City. Two years later I graduated with a diploma in Ministry in Spanish. My ministry is focused on the truth found in the Bible taught in all Christian Churches. I was dedicated and baptized in a Pentecostal church. My family has been a part of the Canadian Pentecostal church for three generations. ​ The good news of the Gospel is forgiveness of sin. The consequence of our sins is hell, a place of torment for eternity. The Father sent his only son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins. We accept the gift of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. There are great pastors in your community who want to help you. Contact them and get involved in a local church. We are all one family in Christ Jesus our Lord. God bless you. Luke 5:10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. KJV

🇲🇽❤️ Ministry Update from Sinaloa, Mexico ❤️🇲🇽 Last night I had the opportunity to catch up with my friends Rocío and Omar here in Sinaloa. It was a great evening of fellowship, encouragement, and talking about what God is doing in the lives of people battling addiction. Rocío has a heart for serving women in recovery and regularly visits treatment centers to encourage the ladies, cut their hair, and share the love of Jesus with them. Her compassion and dedication are making a real difference in many lives. Last year, through the generosity of ministry supporters, we were able to provide Bibles, host food outreaches, and distribute hygiene and sanitary products to women in treatment. It was a blessing to see lives touched with both practical help and the hope of the Gospel. We're now making plans to return to that same facility. Omar will be joining us for the outreach, and I'll be bringing copies of my book to give away, sharing my testimony, and bringing a message of hope and encouragement to those currently in recovery. Thank you to everyone who supports this ministry and helps make these outreaches possible. Every Bible, every meal, every book, and every act of kindness helps remind someone that they are loved, valued, and not forgotten. God continues to open doors throughout Mexico, and I'm looking forward to another food outreach inside an addiction recovery center in the coming days.

🇲🇽❤️ Ministry Update from Mazatlán ❤️🇲🇽 Today I had the opportunity to reconnect with my good friend Pastor Luis for the first time on this trip, and it was such a blessing. Last year we traveled together to four different addiction recovery centers, preaching the Gospel, sharing our faith, praying with people, and providing food outreach. The pictue is of us today with my book and from last year. We're have made plans for our next outreach in addiction recover center, and Pastor Luis has also invited me to speak at the men's group next week. . I was also able to give Pastor Luis a copy of my book, The STREET: The Brother John Elving Story, and I've had a number of additional copies printed that we'll be handing out during our ministry activities. My prayer is that these books will encourage people who are struggling with addiction, family challenges, and difficult life circumstances, pointing them to the hope found in Jesus Christ. Tonight I'll be spending time with a couple of friends here in Mexico, Omar and Rocío, who serves by cutting hair for the girls in a recovery center. It's always encouraging to connect with people who have incredible testimonies and a heart for serving others. God continues to open doors throughout Mexico, and I'm looking forward to another food outreach inside an addiction recovery center in the coming days. Please continue to pray for the ministry opportunities ahead as I visit churches, recovery centres, and take the Gospel to the streets. God is opening doors, and lives are being impacted.

First. Thank you for your tireless work exposing this. Second, it could be less time consuming to simply post the parts he didn't plagiarize.

In short, Brian Simmons is a delusional, lying hack. And his translation butchers the word of God based on false claims of revelation and linguistic insights. In the example below Brian copies a false claim that sources not from study or revelation but from a man who shows deep signs of delusion himself. Bill Johnson was just a little bit off when he endorsed TPT and said it was one of the best things to happen in Bible translation in his lifetime. Yet Bill’s endorsement sure led to a lot of sales for TPT and after TPT was exposed YEARS ago they just doubled down on it and served their people up to the Bible twisting personal enrichment of Brian Simmons. Flee Bethel.
Today's Daily Smoking Gun of plagiarism in the Passion Translation comes in Philippians 3:19. Instead of the words "their god is their belly" which appear in all other translations, TPT (2013) gives "their god has possessed them and made them mute."

You got to be kidding me. This is irrefutable proof.
The Passion Translation even copy/pastes a spelling error from the spurious and heretical work The Mirror Bible. Wow. So, to be clear, he not only plagiarizes the work of others but does so from the heretical Bible translation of a guy who doesn’t know the original languages either. As if that wasn’t enough he includes a spelling error from that work. All of this while telling audiences that God is supernaturally revealing secrets of Hebrew and Greek to him.

Today I’ll be cheering on Mexico as they take the field! 🇲🇽⚽ I’m enjoying the game with my father-in-law, and it’s amazing to see the excitement across the country. During the World Cup, it feels like the entire city comes to a stop as families, friends, and neighbors gather around their TVs to support their team. It’s a special time to be in Mexico, and I’m hoping for a great result today! Thank you to everyone who has prayed for and supported my ministry outreach. Your encouragement makes it possible for me to continue sharing hope, distributing free resources, and serving in churches and recovery centers.

@MikeWingerii @JonmarkBaker and myself made a 4.5 hour, meticulously documented exposé of fraud and plagiarism on a massive scale in the Passion Translation. The response of the TPT advocates has largely been: "I read it and it makes me cry so you can't tell me it's bad." God calls us to love him with our heart, soul, MIND, and strength. Loving God with our mind means engaging difficult facts, even when they conflict with subjective emotional experiences that we may have had. The Resurrection of Christ was an objective fact of history, not a subjective emotional experience of the disciples. Our faith is not built around goose bumps and warm fuzzies. Does God touch the affections of the human heart? Yes. But I can assure you that God does not bless lies and deception, no matter how "moving" those lies may have been.

🇲🇽📚 More Books, More Opportunities to Share Hope! 📚🇲🇽 Today I picked up another batch of THE STREET – The Brother John Elving Story from a local printer here in Mexico, and I've already ordered even more copies to pick up later! The response has been incredible. Pastors, ministry leaders, recovery centres, and family members affected by addiction have been asking for copies. It is encouraging to see how many people are connecting with a testimony of God's grace, recovery, and redemption. Every book I give away is completely free. While printing these resources isn't inexpensive, I believe the investment is worth it if even one person finds hope, encouragement, or a new beginning through Jesus Christ. A special thank you to my friends and supporters who help make this outreach possible. Your generosity allows me to place these books into the hands of people who may never otherwise hear my story or receive this resource. I was blessed to find a local printer that offers a more affordable option, making it possible to print even more copies and reach more people throughout Mexico. Please continue to pray for the ministry opportunities ahead as I visit churches, recovery centres, and take the Gospel to the streets. God is opening doors, and lives are being impacted.

🇲🇽✝️ A Special Moment at Teen Challenge Mexico ✝️🇲🇽 On Sunday, I had the privilege of attending Teen Challenge Mexico and witnessing the transforming power of Jesus Christ firsthand. During the service, a husband and wife shared their testimony of how God had changed their lives, restored their marriage, and brought healing where there was once brokenness. After they shared, I was asked to pray for them durring the service. As I prayed for them both of them were moved to tears as the presence of the Holy Spirit filled the room. Moments like these are an awesome part of ministry. Seeing people set free from addiction, healed from past hurts, and restored in their relationships is a beautiful testimony to God's grace and faithfulness. Please continue to pray for the work being done here in Mexico as we share the Gospel in churches, recovery centres, and on the streets. Lives are being impacted, and all the glory belongs to Jesus Christ.

This is a recent clip of Bill Johnson preaching from the Passion Translation and praising the footnotes. The only problem? The footnote of the passage Bill is quoting is plagiarized from p. 599 of a book by Glenn David Bauscher (image below) and the second half is plagiarized from the website of a fringe filmmaker named Victor Alexander. Brian Simmons gets the praise (and financial reward) from the Bethel platform, while the authors whose work he stole do not. The Passion Translation is still sold on the Bethel website and bookstore.

.@rhemabible has cut ties with former pastor and CFO Craig Hagin after receiving what it describes as "credible information" about conduct inconsistent with ministry leadership standards. The move comes just months after Hagin was charged with animal cruelty and weeks after his wife announced their divorce. roysreport.com/rhema-bible-c…

You can’t really get around the reality that @howertonjosh basically is saying “Meet people and thank them so they give you more money.” That’s definitely a good business plan, but the church shouldn’t operate like a business.
If getting a meeting with your “pastor” is a “once in a lifetime” opportunity, you don’t have a pastor.

🚨 Joni Lamb's Death Raises Hard Questions for Andrew Wommack's Healing Message Click here for full VIDEO 👉 youtube.com/live/Bg9M_3u38_A Tonight we're discussing the recent Daystar interview featuring Andrew Wommack and asking some difficult but important theological questions in light of the recent passing of Joni Lamb. Andrew Wommack teaches that healing has already been provided through Christ and has stated that when healing does not manifest, the issue is often with the believer receiving what God has already provided. He has also made strong public statements regarding faith, sickness, COVID-19, and divine healing. But how should Christians think about suffering, sickness, and death? What happens when faithful believers, pastors, ministry leaders, and even prominent Christian broadcasters become seriously ill or pass away despite prayer and faith? Tonight we'll examine: • Andrew Wommack's statements on healing and faith • Daystar's long history of promoting healing ministries • The theological implications raised by Joni Lamb's passing • Whether "failure to receive healing" is a biblical explanation for sickness • What Scripture teaches about healing, suffering, and God's sovereignty • The difference between biblical faith and extreme Word of Faith theology This is not an attack on Joni Lamb or her family. We want to have a thoughtful and biblical discussion about doctrines that affect millions of Christians around the world, especially those struggling with illness, disappointment, and unanswered prayers. As always, we'll examine these claims through Scripture and encourage believers to place their hope in Christ rather than in personalities, ministries, or formulas. Join the conversation live and share your thoughts respectfully in the chat.

“The fears of the wicked will be fulfilled; the hopes of the godly will be granted. When the storms of life come, the wicked are whirled away, but the godly have a lasting foundation. Fear of the Lord lengthens one’s life, but the years of the wicked are cut short. The hopes of the godly result in happiness, but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing. The way of the Lord is a stronghold to those with integrity, but it destroys the wicked. The godly will never be disturbed, but the wicked will be removed from the land. The mouth of the godly person gives wise advice, but the tongue that deceives will be cut off. The lips of the godly speak helpful words, but the mouth of the wicked speaks perverse words.” Proverbs 10

Someone in my church sitting down with me has never been a "once in a lifetime opportunity." All they have to do is call and ask. I'm meeting with someone different every day this week. Sometimes these megachurch guys are way too big for their britches.

One of the textbook "smoking guns" of plagiarism is when one work copies a MISTAKE from another work. In Romans 8:9, The Passion Translation plagiarizes Francois du Toit's footnote from the "Mirror Bible." The only problem is the whole thing was already fictitious when du Toit wrote it. The words in Romans 8:9 and Luke 15:17 are completely different, and the proposed "translation" (which matches in both) is nonsense. Brian sees this footnote and decides to sound smart by saying "this is an unusual Greek clause." There's nothing unusual about the clause in Romans 8:9. The construction used in Luke 15:17 is not similar. The entire thing was fabricated by du Toit. Not only does Brian Simmons not know any of the original languages, he plagiarizes other people who ALSO do not know the languages. This footnote is still on @YouVersion as we speak.
