| Tamaki |
From Cultwatch- "In May 2010 Brian Tamaki preached a sermon as part of a series
called "Activating Christ Within You". In this sermon he dropped two doctrinal
bombshells, blasting Destiny Church off its orthodox foundations and landing it
firmly in the realm of the cults. Brian taught in this sermon that God revealed
to him that Jesus did not have a bodily resurrection, and that all Christians
are actually Jesus. In the following paragraphs we'll look in detail at what
Brian said, and then compare Brian's teachings to scripture and orthodox
Christianity.
Brian obviously knew that he was breaking with orthodox Christianity
when he admitted he had been softening up his congregation for a year
beforehand, to get them ready to accept what was coming in this sermon. "You must get out of your mind that, that Jesus Christ is now, ah, is still Jesus of Nazareth. To whom he was. But Jesus of Nazareth did not come out of the tomb. The flesh Jesus died in the tomb."
"So, so Jesus of Nazareth had to put off his flesh body, so the Christ that was
always there could now be a life giving spirit."
So Brian Tamaki is teaching that Jesus' body was not resurrected,
that His body did not come out of the tomb, and Jesus had to put off His "flesh
body" so Jesus could be spirit only. Well that would be a surprise to Jesus,
because after His resurrection..." Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach
hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but
believing. John 20:27
