"My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth, and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins."
James 5:19,20
"Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity."
Joel 2:13

The above scriptures are the key reason for the existence of this discernment site. It exists to help Christians avoid being part of movements or going to churches that preach false doctrine and if they do to warn them what is behind these phenomena.

Images painted by Meister Mathis Nithart also called Gothard (Matthias Grünewald) between 1505 and 1516 for the Antonite monastery in Isenheim. Today the Isenheimer Altar can be seen in the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar, France. I have seen it and was very impressed. The images are from the Web Gallery of Art at www.wga.hu/welcome.html.
There are many deceptions creeping into the Church that every Christian should be aware of. Especially when these deceptions are designed to control the People of God it is time to speak out against them. This is not meant to single out any one denomination as false doctrines are evident in practically all denominations, some more than others. Some doctrines and practices can be harmful to believers, causing much sadness and depression, sometimes with devastating effects on a person's relationship with others and with God.
I cannot offer an answer to every question, nor can I address every issue, there are too many, but I do encourage you to explore the Scriptures, measuring everything you see according to it. God certainly has all the answers and reveals them to those who seek the truth.
