HAS HILLSONG “BECOME JUDGES WITH EVIL THOUGHTS?”
While our God shows no favouritism (Romans 2:11) and encourages Christians not to show favouritism, the god of Hillsong does. Showing unusual favouritism towards Justin Bieber lately, how has promoting Justin Beiber’s attendance at Hillsong 2015 Conference helped anyone’s Christian walk, let alone Justin’s? In light of the following article how have Hillsong helped Justin Beiber in any way shape or form? The below article informs us of the days after Justin attended the Hillsong Conference.
As well-known missionary/evangelist Paul Washer stated: “We deal five minutes with a person and their conversion and then we spend the next fifty years trying to disciple a goat into a sheep. I’m not saying this because I’m angry. I’m saying this because countless people are being deceived.” Has Justin Bieber been deceived into a false conversion?
As for showing favouritism, God says,
“My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court? Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called?
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.” James 2:1-9
It only goes to show that Hillsong once again refuses to acknowledge any form of biblical behaviour or governance within their own church at the expense of their followers.

Bottoms up! Justin Bieber gets VERY cheeky as he shares naked photo from a boat in Bora Bora
The cheeky 21-year-old bared his bottom as he stood with his back to the camera on the edge of a boat.
‘Look!’ he captioned the snapshot, which showed him pointing at the land ahead, although it’s fair to say none of his fans will have been admiring the scenery.

He’s a cheeky boy: Justin Bieber bared his bottom as he stripped naked for an Instagram photo on Monday
The singer is clearly feeling quite relaxed, and stared across the stunning blue sea for his raunchy naked photo.
Justin revealing pic caught the attention of one fan in particular – Miley Cyrus – who reposted the image, although she put her own creative crop on what she believed to be the most interesting part of the picture.

The 22-year-old captioned the tight pic Bieber v Rihanna, after posting a similar butt-shot of Riri snipped from her B**ch Better Have My Money video six minutes earlier.
It’s been an event filled few days documented on Justin’s instagram, which has included pictures of him boozing aboard private jets and even the bloody aftermath of a shark attack on one of his entourage.
He and pal Joe Termini were swimming near a reef when a shark bit him, taking a sizeable lump out of his chest and missing ripping his nipple off by mere millimeters.
Ouch! God wasn’t on Joe Termini’s side when he went for a swim with bestie Justin on Monday and was attacked by a shark
Nauseating: Joe also posted a close-up snap of the gruesome bite mark
Let loose: Justin posted a photo of himself holding a bottle beer before boarding a private jet on Saturday with Joe and his spiritual adviser, Pastor Joel Houston
Joe then posted a stomach-churning close-up of his open wound, captioning it ‘It’s been a good day’.
Bieber also brought his entourage, which included once-rumoured girlfriend Hailey Baldwin, to a five-day Hillsong church conference in Sydney
On Sunday he posted a photograph of himself with Joe and his spiritual adviser, Pastor Joel Houston, hanging out in front of a private jet, while he toasted the camera with a bottle of beer.
Not shy: It’s been an eventful few days for the singer, seen here performing in New York in September, who clearly has no qualms with shedding his clothes

FANS SHOULD BE CONCERNED FOR JUSTIN BEIBER
If Justin Beiber is going to Hillsong Conference because he just “wants to make his heart right,” then neither Hillsong Conference 2015 nor his spiritual advisors give him such an opportunity. This is because Hillsong is not a church but a movement that preaches anything but the Christian gospel.
The fact that Justin Beiber was proud to state that “Lentz had changed his life” is very concerning indeed. Most Christians who go to church will claim that Jesus saved them and turned their lives around. We are continually seeing the rise of the personality cult in Hillsong.
The Daily Telegraph reports,
Justin Bieber just ‘wants to make his heart right’ says Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz
JUSTIN Bieber revealed his renewed religious fervour yesterday, declaring at Sydney’s Hillsong conference: “I was blind but now I see.”
The pop megastar came to Australia to be part of the congregation and not to preach but, as well as quoting the lines from John 9:25, Bieber spoke to #hillsong-backstage, telling its online audience: “I love you guys. Jesus loves you.”

The man behind Bieber’s surprise visit, New York’s Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz, said, after making “spectacular mistakes”, the 21-year-old had come halfway round the world to make sure “his heart is right”.
BIEBER SEEKING SALVATION AT SYDNEY HILLSONG CHURCH CONVENTION
Speaking at the Hillsong Sydney Conference the pastor, who counts stars like Bono, Vanessa Hudgens and Stephen Baldwin among his church members, described his relationship with Bieber as like “regular friends who talk all the time”.

The former college dropout who found God in Sydney and went on to be named as one of 37 people under the age of 35 reshaping the world by Esquire magazine, spoke candidly about his relationship with Bieber, who was brought up a Christian.

JUSTIN DOES A RUNNER FROM FANS IN SYDNEY
“We met when Justin was 14 after his mum reached out and we’ve become close from that day. He’s a part of our lives and has lived with us for weeks on end,” Lentz, 36, said.
Attendees gather outside Acer Arena where the Hillsong Church is holding a week long convention.
Lentz, whose met his Australian wife in Sydney, said it was amazing Bieber was so “kind and normal”.
“I can’t even explain the suffocating nature of the kind of fame that he has. If he’s going through something horrible, we’ll talk about it. If he makes a decision where I think he could have done something wiser, we’ll talk about it,” he said.
Lentz was adamant his 21-year-old pal was on the right path: “He flew halfway round the world at the busiest time of the year for him just for a church conference. It shows you what matters to him.”

Sydney Olympic Park is not known as a rock star hangout but Bieber has made the five-star Pullman hotel at Homebush his low-key base for his low-key visit, next to the Allphones Arena where the conference has attracted delegates from around the world at $350 each.
Hillsong founder Brian Houston told the congregation that it left a $1.3 million shortfall in the cost and prayed for people to be generous and donate. The church he set up in Sydney 30 years ago is now bigger in the US than Australia.
Bieber yesterday told #hillsongbackstage that Lentz had changed his life and, while this was his first Hillsong conference, it would not be his last: “I’m having a great time. It’s pretty awesome.
“The music is incredible. What they are doing is incredible, I support it 100 per cent.”

I would expect nothing less from Hillsong.
Should be on Hillsongchurchwatch too. Just did a search to see if Pastor Carl Lentz had said anything about Bieber’s latest incident and found a recent article instead.

If Lentz tells Bieber and/or the media what Bieber did was sinful, inappropriate or a “bad choice” what will Lentz base that criticism upon? After all he said “Jesus said nothing against gay marriage”. Jesus also said nothing about posting nude photos on Instagram – does that mean Lentz can’t tell Bieber what he did was wrong either?
Their libertine compromises should make them change their to “Kill Song.”
I would like to know what Paul write on the first chapter in the book of Romans? Paul accepted the homosexualims practice as natual behavior? I think not. We need to pay attention what the bible says about this.
I think you have mishunderstood what paul was saying, for paul going men with men or women with women is not a natural.
Try to read it carefully and if you don’t understand try another version of scripture.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
