Decoding Rick Joyner’s “THE FINAL QUEST”
Return to Index
 
Full version of Chapter 9


9) Branham and Joyner both deride more bible based forms of Christianity: - Summarised Version:

Joyner believes that during one of his many visits to “heaven” he saw six good Christians from the past, four of whom had been great men of God. All of them inform Joyner that they had been sent to the deepest dungeon of hell for a season of punishment after they had died. They had supposedly experienced great torment and the gnashing of teeth there, along with a multitude of other Christians, before being allowed into the outskirts of heaven. These apparitions of saints were clearly counterfeit and demonic in origin as hell fire and outer darkness are reserved for those who are not accepted into heaven. These visions appear to reflect Joyner’s antipathy toward any Christian who adheres to a more bible based form of spirituality than he does. There are many similarities here with the views of William Branham whose teachings have been a major influence on Joyner since his childhood, (see chapter 7). It does not appear that Joyner has ever turned away from Branham’s main deceptive teachings. As we saw in Chapter 8 Branham became one of the most deceived “Christians” of the modern era, mixing Christian teachings and spirituality in with that of the occult just as Joyner does. Branham even claimed that the pyramids and signs of the zodiac carried as much spiritual authority as the bible. In contrast to the predicament of the other six saints Joyner sees Branham exalted in heaven on a great throne next to Jesus’ own throne. Joyner’s visions are therefore, once again, exalting his wayward New Age form of spirituality and dismissing all believers who adhere to a more bible based form of the faith and spiritual gifting.
