Hi Glenda D Teele

You randomly refer to “ancient scriptures” as your source to prove that God has a cohort known as the “Mother of the Universe.” There is nothing random about God’s Word consisting of 66 books. In fact, it declares without any hesitance or doubt that “All Scripture (Genesis to Revelation = 66 books) is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Consulting ancient books and regarding them to be on the same level as God’s Word (Psalm 119:89), or going on weird spiritual trips are much worse than unrighteousness. It is idolatry.

Your surreal (strange and weird) and supernatural experience in the spirit has supposedly taken you on a journey supplying you with information and knowledge in an instant, and yet you are still sorting things out after more than a decade? Really? Don’t you know that you can know in an instant that God’s Word (66 books) never once suggests that God has a cohort known as “Mother of the Universe.” The only thing nearest to “Mother of the Universe” is the “Queen of heaven” in Jeremiah 7:17-18 whose counterpart you can find in Revelation 17:5, “Mother of harlots.”

Your spiritual vision did not bring you into the presence of God’s cohort, as you believe, but a Hindu demon called the Goddess Adi Parashakti who is also considered to be both the truly supreme spirit without form (Param Atman) and Saguna with form. In her Saguna form, she is described as the Mother of the Universe and is residing in Sarvaloka Manidweepa above all of the other realms.

I am fearful that you do not know the Christ of the Bible (66 books) and need to repent of your dastardly waywardness and evil before it is too late. Do not procrastinate (2 Corinthians 6:2). And please, stay away from the likes of Leon du Preez. He is a self-appointed false prophet.

Well Aaron, the brother of Moses, seemed to have had no qualms to worship other gods in the Name of God.

And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.(Exo 32:1-5)

Fortunately for him, he repented of his evil.

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

2 Timothy 4:3-4

For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

Matthew 7:15 

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

2 Peter 2:1

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

2 John 1:7

For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist.

2 Peter 2:3 

And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

________________________________________

Maybe it would be helpful to step back first and get the bigger picture of the New Testament response to those who live and teach in ways that lead others into error and ruin, and then zero in on 1 Corinthians 4:5 for some guidelines for how we should speak and write about such people.

Beware the Wolves

So let’s begin with Jesus. Matthew 7:15: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” And the word beware means all of us should be alert, but especially shepherds, to identify not just false teaching, but false teachers, whose ways are subtle. They’re clothing themselves with lamb’s wool while they’re wolves.

And Paul used the same Greek word for beware in Acts 20:28–29 when he said, “Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. . . . I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the.”

“In order to protect the flock, we should expose false teachers and minimize the spread of the gangrene.”

Jesus used the same word again in Matthew 16:6, but he got more specific: “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Paul had the same kind of group in mind and the same kind of error in mind in Philippians 3:2 and 3:18: “Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.” And then verse 18: “For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ.” Then in Romans 16:17, he warned, “Watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.”

Avoid, Rebuke, Call Out

To avoid them, you have to know who they are. You can’t avoid somebody if you don’t know who they are. This idea of identifying and avoiding shows up in 1 Corinthians 5:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:6, 14; 2 Timothy 3:5; 2 John 10. In other words, Christians, and shepherds in particular, should be discerning and alert to behavior and teaching that dishonors Christ and destroys people — and not treat it in a casual or harmless way.

And then in 1 Timothy 5:19–20, Paul went beyond just “avoid them” to “rebuke them publicly.” So, speaking of elders who persist in error, he said, “Do not admit a charge against an elder except on the evidence of two or three witnesses. As for those who persist in sin” — and that can be sin of false doctrine or sin of evil behavior, anyone who does not accept correction — “rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear..”

And then Paul went on and actually named destructive false teachers:

• “Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me” (2 Timothy 4:10).
• “You are aware that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes” (2 Timothy 1:15).
• “By rejecting this [faith and a good conscience], some have made shipwreck of their faith, among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander” (1 Timothy 1:19–20).
• “Their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus” (2 Timothy 2:17).

Paul names at least six false teachers that the church should watch out for.

So, I infer from Jesus and Paul and Luke and John that false teaching and destructive behavior are present dangers in this fallen world for the church. And all of us — especially shepherds, pastors — should be alert and discerning to identify and, in appropriate ways, expose. In order to protect the flock, we should expose them and minimize the spread of the gangrene (as Paul calls it).

Dear Tania

I am glad to hear you felt uneasy, that was the Holy Spirit warning you.

Stay away from the occult, like dream interpretation. Leon teachings nothing but the occult.

Unfortunately Leon never had a relationship with Jesus Christ the Son of God. I do however pray he gets saved and repents of his wickedness.

What bothers me the most is the followers that Idolize him. They continuously thank and adore this ‘Father Leon”. Just go have a look at all the comments. They only praise him and not once does he correct them and tell them to focus thanks and praise on Jesus. Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
Secondly it seems nothing comes cheap with Leon. The prices on his website are ridiculous. If they demand those amounts for me to receive the gospel of Jesus, then it clearly shows you their interest.
The 1st lesson on dream interpretation that was for free on Facebook. I learned absolutely nothing from it. There was nothing I could take home from that. Another money making scheme?
Leon is a follower of Bennie Hinn, Joyce Meyer, etc. Shall we start how false these prosperity creatures are?
I pray that Leon returns to the relationship he had with Jesus long ago.

Karl, you have a completely wrong impression of what it means to judge. We are commanded to judge ALL THINGS.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. (1 Co 2:15)
