“It became easy
for me to use and abuse my relationships in the church to get where I wanted to
go.” –
Athena Dean, 1996
“Without
becoming a high-pressure, arm-twisting kind of salesperson, you can subtly get
your customer doing what you want him to do. These gimmicks are nothing less
than manipulation and witchcraft.” – Athena Dean, 1996
"The
truth is, I've destroyed every close relationship I've ever had in my life
because I'm a bully, a manipulator, a liar, a user, and completely arrogant. No
wonder I've always gravitated to business and excelled there, because I never
have to get close enough to people for them to see the real me. ...I am truly,
no better than a man who calls himself a Christian and is well respected by
all, who secretly beats his wife and kids at home behind close doors." – Athena Dean, 2011
Because
Athena Dean was so loved at Sound Doctrine
Church she
must now attack with a foaming, rabid mouth. Athena Dean knows – and I can
testify – that Sound Doctrine Church experiences some
of the deepest aspects of love given by the Holy Spirit. But how could it be
otherwise when those who pick up their cross in truth are filled with God's
love?
Then He said to them all, "If anyone wants to come with Me, he
must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. (Luke 9:23)
Because the words
of Jesus are naturally offensive to your sin, Athena Dean is more than happy to
let the offense of the cross create a lynch-mob mentality – a classic witch
hunt.
Now brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still
persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. (Galatians 5:11)
But
for those who are willing to think – and not become Athena Dean's gullible pawns
in her wicked game – below is a link to an excerpt of Hating for Jesus.
Hating for Jesus remains a book that will change your life forever – if you let it. In
no way, shape or form does it promote a hatred of others, but rather is completely
about loving God and others.
It shows
us how to love as it gently points us
to God, the source of perfect, holy love that we might become people who love
Him, our children and our neighbor as ourselves that we might all be brothers –
if we allow God to pour His love through us. In doing so, the deeper our love
for God and each other will grow.
Hating
for Jesus is not a matter of going
up to someone and slapping him in the face. Hating for Jesus is not the
worldly kind of hate in which you seek to destroy someone else. It is about
loving as Jesus loves the church.
There
is no better way to love than to love with God’s love – indeed, a river of love
wells up. Hating for Jesus reminds us that we must rely on God’s love rather than our own ability
and wisdom to love others and to make room for God to fill us with Himself and
His pure love – and that’s in the Bible:
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love.
Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16 NIV)
You
see, we cannot see His love or show love apart from God. Through Him we might
come to really love one another according to God’s will and be filled with the
fruit of God’s love – in short, be given the power to love. Even Paul said that
nothing good lived in him.
For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the
desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it. (Romans 7:18)
Taking
all Scriptures into account, Hating for Jesus, simply directs us to God so that only His love and life remain in us.
As you can see,
you have been lied to on a massive scale
by Athena Dean and her hate-filled lynch mob that she uses to help market her lies. Do not be taken
in by her betrayal and
hatred.
Then many will take offense, betray one another and hate one
another. (Matthew 24:10)
