p.1 Mike Adams - an unhealthy Bible teacher You may know him as ‘the health ranger,’ Mike Adams is a raw foods enthusiast and "holistic nutritionist" that warns of engineered food and pesticides which are not healthy for anyone. His main crusade is against technology the vast majority of all diseases can be easily prevented and even cured without drugs or surgery." Which in some instances are true. Many side with him on alternative medicine, anti-vaccination, anti-GMO, and anti-medicine agreeing with him on these matters. If you want to know more on the medical side here is a site that certainly has numerous refutes (I cannot vouch for these since this is not my area of knowledge.) There are others who do not endorse his claims. Adams is the owner of Brighteon a free online platform for free speech, allowing individuals to share videos without censorship. He is a marketer, and the owner of over 50 websites, WakingScience and TruthWiki, Divinity Now, etc. He is publisher of NaturalNews.com. His passion is no longer limited to medicine, now his focus is on the bible. He says he felt a strong pull to study the Bible, from which he started his own church called ‘Natural Abundance Church.’ I do not see any previous preparation, he just went right into teaching scripture without being grounded in the core doctrines of the faith; and it shows. And this is where I need to speak on as he builds this new territory, that is not based upon knowledge of the Scriptures but mixing the new age spiritual beliefs and practices with the bible. His Bible teaching is hardly recognizable as Christian. On his website, on the top it lists links to his sermons (videos), with no written articles posted. If you look for a statement of faith for his Natural Abundance Church, there is none posted, nowhere to be found, which is ALWAYS not a good sign. I can’t begin to tell you of all the errors and heretical teachings from the bible I have heard this man speak and promote, as he has conglomerated teachings from various cults and the new age. In his film, 'THE DIVINITY WITHIN,' Mike Adam warns about "dangerous beliefs"; but his own teachings contain danger. The very notion of a god within humanity is straight out of the New Age movement. Man is not God. Who says so? God says so! We are created in God's image, which hardly carries the same meaning. His website, Divinity Now says it has its origins in the core values expressed by widely-practiced religions of the world. Which certainly is not carrying biblical beliefs as a priority. It expands on the explorations of ideas in consciousness, free will, Divine rights, philosophy, and much more. We read that it is not affiliated with any church or organization; no membership is required. All the information is freely offered to any conscious being who wishes to participate in the open exploration of ideas that really matter. At the same time, Adams has a church called natural abundance. Mike Adam's believes that God is a "force," a "consciousness," he calls THE DIVINE. He calls God "it" (for "it creates realities”). The Bible being quoted or referenced for this concept is nowhere to be found because it does not fit in this view. Mike Adams teaches We “been granted a degree of self-awareness necessary to pull ourselves out of ignorance and toward the ultimate goal that goal is as self-evident as consciousness itself to finally understand who we are how we came to exist and what our purpose is for being here” … “As we were created in his image, we each possess a fraction of the power of God-a slice of omniscient conscious godliness. We've only forgotten our connectiveness , and have been fooled into thinking we are separate from each other in the world around us. The ultimate answers may already exist within us, if we find the courage to look within rather than focusing our questions in the world out there. Because quantum physics now tells us-what we find in the world around us is merely a reflection of what we are within.” (Mike Adams; THE GOD WITHIN ; time 43:04 in video). Underline mine. The Bible does not teach about forgetting our connectiveness, but instead all of us are born with sin. We did not have a relationship with God to begin with, no matter what we feel. And if the answers are within, then who needs the Bible! Adams is teaching concept[s] commonly found in the New Age movement (What has the saying, that what is within is without, also known, as above so below). People seek to find the spiritual consciousness of the universe for their advancement. But God is not within all, the Bible teaches one must be spiritually born through the gospel to have a relationship with God. On another of his websites, he writes,“Higgs boson discovery may have been brought into existence solely because so many conscious beings were focused on bringing into reality what they imagined to be real. I know this almost starts to sound New-Agey, but such is the nature of things in a conscious universe: All science being conducted today is carried out under the influence of "consciousness bias." And so we need to understand what this means and how it impacts our understanding of reality.” The Higgs boson 'God Particle' discovery in the context of conscious cosmology - DivinityNow.com underline mine It sounds New-Agey because it is. The universe that God created having consciousness? Scripture teaches God himself is in control of all things He made. And he has not revealed the inner workings of his control to anyone. " I believe that the more modern science understands about the Higgs boson, quantum theory, particle physics and cosmology, the closer science will be to initiating a scientific study of consciousness”(ibid.) "Allowing the emergence of reality to be acknowledged by everyone out there—so that there is no more deception, there is no more destruction, that people are free to live their lives with a sense of liberty—and with a sense of spiritual connection to that which is divine, which is all around us, everywhere . That is what we fight for!” (Mike Adams, interview on THE ALEX JONES SHOW ; July 9, 2012 (time stamp 11:35 in clip) This discovery is a deception, God, the divine, is NOT within us all, He is not in all things, this pantheistic idea is presented in the various new age teachings and it comes through Hinduism. ' here is a good example, “Your mind is not your brain and your mind is not contained in your skull. Your mind or your consciousness, it branches out across the entire cosmos. You are connected to everything in the cosmos. You are, in essence, one with everything in the cosmos." (Sermon #100 - James Ch 2 - God and Jesus teach us to free ourselves Mar. 28, 2025) Mike Adam's tells us God is a “force,” a “consciousness,” He states: "That creative force / intelligence / consciousness is what I call The Divine. It is divine because it is a Creator in every sense of the word. It creates realities." Is God an It? Or He? According to the Bible God is a personal being. While He and others are on mission to wake people up to become CONSCIOUS – aware of what's going on in the world (and discover who they are). God has a different plan. It's called the gospel and it has to do with mankind's sin being forgiven to bring us into a relationship for the first time, not as a restoration. People need to admit they are sinful and need to be reconciled to God the only way possible, by his sons sacrifice. The Apostle Paul is rejected by Adams, just as Jesus was by his people, most that were the religious leaders. All of you need to rip out of the Bible all the epistles that Paul wrote because according to Mike Adams he was a deceiver. Mr. Adams knows better, than all the generations of faithful theologians, Bible scholars that have come before. He has zeroed into the truth unlike any other, they are all apparently wrong. The Bible says “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Tim. 3:16), well almost all. You should only read the red words of Jesus and forget the letters to the churches written by Paul who was appointed an apostle from God. Paul says in 2 Tim. 1:11 “I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.” Apparently, Paul is deceived or lying, according to Adams. Ignore that “ The Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.” (Acts 9:15) The Word of God also says in 2 Tim. 4:17 “the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear” How slanted is Adam's on rejecting Paul? More than the leaning tower of Pisa! Red pilled on the Bible! On x.com/healthranger His Religion comment on Paul (no longer posted) Religion comment: Paul the Apostle told Christians to be obedient to the corrupt government of Rome. But Jesus told his followers to be obedient to God. Paul said FAITH alone is good enough to enter heaven. But Jesus said we must pursue GOOD DEEDS and physically help those in need, not just pray for them. There are other significant differences as well. Paul was not faithful to the teachings of Christ. This is known by all Bible scholars. Paul was a deceiver, and he even called himself the greatest sinner. Christ is the truth. Jesus' own brother, James, was more faithful to the teachings of Christ than was Paul, but somehow Paul's words fill half the New Testament . Ever wonder why? Paul used to be named Saul, and he hunted down Christians to have them killed. He then adopted the Roman name "Paulus" to deceive the masses and infiltrate the circle of Jesus influencers, pretending to be something like the second coming of Christ himself, then, filled with pompousness and self-importance, he taught his own perverted view of "Christianity" which was not faithful to what Christ taught in the Gospels. It's all in the Bible, folks. Read it and be amazed at how many modern churches have been completely deceived. They do not teach Christ and they do not know Him. They teach Paulianity, not Christianity. That's one reason why they support the satanic philosophy of zionism, which is rooted in violence, ethnic supremacy and hatred toward others. Christ taught the OPPOSITE of these things (love your neighbors and treat them kindly). Get red pilled on the Bible” (another's commentary on this: https://alvarezgalloso.com/2024/11/24/comment-by-health-ranger-and-my-response/ ) What Kind of believer in Christ says this about Paul who wrote letters to the churches that he planted? Clearly, he does not believe Jesus chose Paul and that he is “a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle” (Rom 1:1) nor Barnabas (Acts.13:45) who was traveling with him, or that all the apostles endorsed him being one of the most fruitful of the apostles. That God “worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul” (Acts 19:11.) Most do not understand what Paul’s point is here, Paul wrote many of his letters as a prisoner of Rome under the charge of, and guarded by Rome’s government. “Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city” ( Acts 14:19.) I guess this would be agreeable with Adams being that he is a deceiver. Unbeknownst to Adams he has gone beyond his scope of knowledge, which is not spiritually nutritious. He has accused God's Word of being false and disagrees with Peter who said “our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction”(2 Peter 3:15-16.) Second: how many times did Jesus speak against the government? 0. Jesus Did not insert himself into politics or speak out on the political Issues of Rome nor Israel, nor was this the reason he was crucified. A good example is when trying to trap Jesus the leaders asked him do we pay Caesar (the government) or not, he then asked for a coin pointing out whose image is on it? “Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s” (Matt 22:15-22) distinguishing your obligation to the government and to God. This sis what Paul used in Rom.13. Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. Jesus validated when he answered [Pilate], " You would have no authority over me at all unless it had been given you from above" (John 19:11). God “sets up kings and deposes them” (Daniel 2:21) this authority is “to commend those who do right” (1 Peter 2:13–15). God establishes authority, we are to obey governmental authority that is over us which punishes those who do wrong and evil. If the government asks us to do something that is in direct disobedience to God’s Word, we then are to disobey the government. An Ex: Acts 5:27-28 the high priest spoke, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? V. 29 Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God.” Let’s now succinctly go through the many Bible topics Adam’ interprets wrong, put your seatbelts on, its going to get bumpy. Adam’s says “Jesus Christ being a revolutionary who brought freedom to humanity.” The question is how did he do this? Why is not all humanity free? (Because what he brought to make us free is the gospel, we are to learn his word to live by.) Humanity is not free unless they believe in the gospel. “Jesus repeatedly spoke out against the corruption of the church and the government.” Adams said this made the Messiah a revolutionary – which led to His death on the cross at the hands of the Jews” ( sermon 38 of Health Ranger Mike Adams). First of all, there was no church until Jesus ascended and sent the Holy Spirit to live in individuals, only those who believe the gospel, become the Church (1 Cor.12:13). Adams says (Jesus) “freed humanity not just in terms of the spirit, but also … from the treacherous, imprisoned philosophies of the Old Testament [and] the Old World.” The Old Testament (the Tanach) is the Word of God just as the New Testament is. It is not philosophy and they were not imprisoned from it! What Jesus went against were the additions to the Scripture that came from the Pharisees traditions in his day, teachings that were not from the Bible. Jesus continually quoted to them the Old Testament to correct them. He says “believers don't have to follow the ancient Jewish rituals, requirements and the Abrahamic original covenant.” He is saying the covenant with Abraham is nullified, which is another serious error. What is Mike Adams philosophical teachings? Adams teaches salvation is by our works. If your good outweighs your bad on your “karmic record,” then your soul will be redeemed. This teaching is confirmed by, "Most of us believe that our souls are eternal. They exist beyond this particular biological existence, right. I mean, it's written right into Christianity …. After life there is day of reckoning—there is a day of judgment—your life is reviewed—and you either go to Heaven or Hell depending on what you did . …there is a reckoning, there is judgment, what you do does matter. There is an accounting for your life. …every day of your life you have remaining is an opportunity to set your karmic record, the record of your soul, into the positive realm.” (Mike Adams, on the The ALEX JONES SHOW; July 9, 2012 (time stamp12:47) Karma is not a Christian teaching but is from Hinduism, it has nothing to do with Christianity which teaches of a resurrection, not rebirth to live again. The Bible teaches that God will ask what you did with Jesus whom he sent to die for your sins, if you did not receive his gospel then ‘your works’ will determine your punishment; not rewards. Adams says,“Your soul actually is redeemed through that action, if you had the intention of protecting life, and protecting that which is sacred. So, your soul is bullet proof, they can't hurt it!”(Mike Adams on THE ALEX JONES SHOW; July 9, 2012 (time stamp 0:53 in clip). Man cannot, but God can. Matt 10:28 “do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Here is the truth that Adams is missing. God regenerates our dead spirit, to have eternal life only by the blood of Christ’s sacrifice. That is what is meant by being born again (born from above). God sends his Spirit ONLY to live in those who believe in the gospel of his Son. After reading Ps. 75:9 Adam’s says of the judgment “those who are good will go to heaven and those who are evil will go to hell” (Mike Adams Sermon # 089 - Psalm 75) Sorry, that is not how the Lord will determine the judgment. The problem with his interpretation is that one can be good and still go to hell. One does not have to be ‘evil’ to go to hell, they only need to be a sinner (which is all of us). Those who have not received Christ, repenting of their sins, not having his blood to cleanse them. Adam’s also thinks the good people are going to defeat Satan and his world system under him. Adams says, “For Whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in my name because you belong to christ, assuredly I say to you he will by no means lose his reward. Okay, so what does this mean? Well what reward is he referring to? Well, Obviously Salvation, the reward of heaven, the reward of being looked upon with favor by the Lord.” (Mike Adams Sermon #097) Sorry, Salvation is not a reward for what you do, it is a free gift by you trusting in the giver, in what He did. His saying this shows that he does not comprehend the gospel which is by grace. It cannot be earned, (“it is not by works, obedience or good deeds). If you even try to earn it by your works scripture says you are disqualified. Rom. 4:4 “to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt”(Rom.4:6). Paul concludes later in his letter Rom 11:6 “And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.” What he further says in Gal.2:16 is conclusive. Gal.3:2; Eph.2:9; Titus 3:5. Yes, we are to do good works (Titus 3:8,14), to stir up good works (Heb.10:4) because we are saved by grace through faith. Salvation is first. We are to let people see our good works (Mt.5:16; 6:1; 1 Pt.2:12) but not to be seen by the intentions as the Pharisees did. Mike Adams or Alex Jones and others who subscribe to this may be well-intentioned, and we recognize they have zeal and show patriotism. But spiritually, the gospel is the ONLY solution in a persons choice of heaven or hell. Adams holds to a universal salvation based on works. Universal Acceptance of Jesus' Name (17:04) “those who understood that the name of Jesus Christ has power in it because Christ is the son of God or a representative of the Lord. ” The sons of Sceva found out the hard way that’s not true (Acts 19:14). It is important to have a relationship with him, to know who is Jesus. And who is Jesus to Mike Adams? He is a representative of God, not the incarnate God in man? The After life Adams says, ‘The passage of "Proof of Heaven" I found most interesting is found on page 48, where Dr. Alexander says: Through the Orb, [God] told me that there is not one universe but many -- in fact, more than I could conceive -- but that love lay at the center of them all. Evil was present in all the other universes as well, but only in the tiniest trace amounts. Evil was necessary because without it free will was impossible, and without free will there could be no growth -- no forward movement, no chance for us to become what God longed for us to be. Horrible and all-powerful as evil sometimes seemed to be in a world like ours, in the larger picture love was overwhelmingly dominant, and it would ultimately be triumphant.“this is the current multi-verse” Dr. Alexander's quote confirms is that our life on planet Earth is a "test" of personal growth.” Which to Adams is some type of universal karma testing grounds. He says“Dr. Alexander may be the most credible afterlife witness in the history of humanity” (November 12, 2012 by Mike Adams , Founder of DivinityNow.com) Is that so,…what of Paul, or John, or Jesus? They may not be a living witness on earth today, but their words are written Scripture. I propose it is they who are more truthful than any man. Adams comments, “my working theory is that our planet Earth is among the highest evil-infested realms in the grand multiverse. Only the most courageous souls agree to come to Earth by being born into human bodies and stripped of their memories.” ‘Upon our death, we are judged by a higher power, and that judgment takes into account our performance in these areas. Did we achieve a measure of self-awareness ? Did we work to overcome evil? Did we express love and compassion and help uplift others with knowledge and awareness?” Where is Jesus in this? It is a theory, that certainly is not biblical. We do not agree that we come to earth for the simple reason we do not exist before birth. This sounds like Hinduism (Karma) with a dash of Mormonism. This again is not Christian/ Bible teaching. Here's what Adams really believes. "I think heaven is a name for the real world, the transcendent reality from which you originally came. You're going back to the real world when you leave this world. This world is a simulation. This world is, you know, a testing ground. This is not the reality. It's far from it. It's just a shadow of reality”…We are beings of light that are living in a, you know, an artificial simulation, which consists of the illusion of matter that is nothing but standing waves of light, you could say.” (Sermon #100 - James Ch 2 - God and Jesus teach us to free ourselves Mar. 28, 2025) Again this is similar to Hinduism and new age teaching, and we can now add the Matrix movie to the mix. Mike Adams speaking to Alex Jones, “It's gonna be like a balance sheet. It's like bringing up an Excel spreadsheet. ... I mean everybody's made mistakes; but can you now make up for them? Can you engage in more good and more positivity than any of the negative mistakes or harm that you might have inadvertently done before you really awakened.” (Mike Adams, THE ALEX JONES SHOW; July 9, 2012 (time stamp 14:08 in clip) I want to Thank David J. Stewart for much of his research on this topic @Jesus-is–savoir.com ( he has more on this) End Times Adams says to Justin Nemos during his interview (Nov.2 2024), on the subject of comets…. "Let me jump in on something here because I want to bring in, I've been studying intensely and teaching about the comet impacts on earth and how God uses comets and, you know, Matthew 24. So I'm saying throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament, the prophets revelation, you name it, all of these comet impacts.” Adams: “But I want to bring that up because there was a great comet impact that took place around maybe 10,500 BC that hit the, the Arctic ice shelf and melted all of that ice almost instantly to create the flood, to create the great deluge that wiped out all the, all the genetic monsters that, that were being created at that time. Have you ever looked into the idea that that flood was, could have been caused by a great comment impact hitting, hitting the ice shelf? (Mike Adams interview with Dustin Nemos, Nov. 2, 2024) Where does the Bible teach this? Gen. 7:12 tells us “all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” No comet is mentioned, not in Genesis, nor Job. Even if there were a comet[s] they were not the cause. Adams claims he is teaching this from the Bible. He says this because he is trying to connect it to the second coming. On 11/11/24 He put out a sermon: GOD’S COMETS will defeat Satan, the Beast, and The False Prophets https://www.prophecy.news/2024-11-11-sermon-63-comets-satan-beast-false-prophet.html# Comets, not the Lord Jesus Christ will defeat Satan? Where does the Bible remotely say this? The Word of God becomes putty in his hand along with his fellow mystical spiritualists. The 67th sermon of the Health Ranger Mike Adam explains the coming of the "Son of Man" in Revelation described as a massive comet sent by God to terminate all the evil on Earth, it is not Christ on a horse. You have read this wrong. This comet signals the end of human civilization. Adams explained that the "White Horse" is not Christ as widely believed: "The coming of the Son of Man is the comet that the Christian community thinks is Christ on a horse. It's not Christ on a horse. It's a comet. It's an Earth-killer comet." Citing Rev. 19:11 “a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.” A Comet makes war? Is a comet is faithful and true? Adams draws parallels between biblical prophecies and celestial events, particularly in Revelation 19:11 and Matthew 24:29, suggesting a series of comet impacts as the final judgment. It may as well be one of Santa’s reindeers ‘called comet’ the way he is interpreting the Bible. “The most catastrophic event is the seventh impact that will finally destroy all remaining civilizations, leaving Earth a desolate wasteland .” Apparently, this man has not read any bible commentaries to help him in his interpretation to be close to orthodoxy. Matt. 25:31-34, 41 does not describe a comet that takes out the armies of the world. “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.” There is no complete desolation by a comet as he teaches. (we will have an article on his complete teaching on this desolation by a comet). The Rapture/ resurrection It’s not about when he thinks the timing of rapture takes place that I take issue with, it’s how he describes it, which is very unbiblical by anyone’s interpretation. According to Adams, his attests to the return of Jesus Christ as “the human projection or personification of the Lord Himself – at the End of Days.” He even uses Paul, he calls the deceiver, whom he quotes a number of times, stating (1 Thessalonians 4:13) “When someone is ignorant of what is happening in the world, that person is said to be asleep, when someone is aware, that person is said to be awake.” That is not what Paul (whom Adams rejects as authentic) taught this means. He says, when the Lord Himself “descends from heaven with a shout,” this would most likely be a cosmic biblical shout – a great psychic awakening touching people’s consciousness at the same time.” Understand, this awakening is not about those who died in Christ to be resurrected but about consciousness, they become aware. His awakening teaching is found throughout his other teachings. He denies a resurrection, which is the body that died coming back to life and uniting with our spirit (James says the body without the Spirit is dead). This is like the JWs spiritual resurrection, but adding a new age twist. Which makes this event not a resurrection at all (1 Cor.15:42). This Biblical event gives us all the same bodily resurrection as Jesus did, and it is a foundational teaching (Heb.6:2). “we are going to be recalled from this earthly realm to rejoin the Lord, our Creator, in the hyper-dimensional reality known as Heaven. And that’s when we become one with the Creator, which is where we started. ” “ In that process, the individuation of what you have experienced on this Earth as being separate from other people … fades away. And in joining with the Lord, we are joining with all the souls that He allowed to have the adventure of life on Earth as a projection; a little tiny sliver of the consciousness of the mind of God.” I recognize this teaching coming right out of the new age movement; we are not projections of God. Nor did our life begin in heaven, or God, which we return to. In fact, the Bible says on that event,1 Cor.15:42-44, On “the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption, It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body”(meaning a physical body that will have its life by the Spirit).v.46“the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.” Which certainly puts a damper on our origin beginning in heaven. Why? Because 1 Cor. 15:47 further explains, “The first man was of the earth, made of dust; which is what is described in Gen. 2:7 “the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” We have all become sinful from Adam’s failure in the garden, as Rom. 5:12 explains. By Adam, the first man “sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men,”…V.17 “by the one man's offense death reigned.” This is why God says, “all have sinned” (Rom 3:23) and He sent his Son from heaven as the remedy for all. No awakening of consciousness will do what only the blood of Christ can do! p2. Mike Adams teachings on the non-deity Jesus, and that we are saved by our works
