Exposing DOCTRINES OF DEVILS

1 Timothy 4:1-2 ~ "1- Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2- Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Invariably, some will read this title and think that I am calling people related to this topic devils. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am merely stating that the following scriptural interpretations are inspired by the "Prince of Darkness" or the devil himself. Therefore this is his doctrine spreading as if it were truth of the Word of God.

Recently I was made aware of a certain conversation in which a "supposed" COGIC Elder set forth an unscriptural argument and dropped a few names in effort to give himself credibility in his statements. Here is an excerpt taken from that particular web site conversation:

"I am HAPPILY married to the very happy & satisfied Evangelist Katherine Woods; we have three very bright children and lead a much fulfilled life. I am also an ordained Elder, anointed by our late Presiding Bishop, Bishop Louis Henry Ford. Not all Elders in our great churchare bigots, that believe those who are different than us are bound to hell. Now that you've been invalidated concerning my personal affairs, allow me to continue.

David, the great psalmist and writer who was "after God's own heart" was a homosexual.Allow me to present two scriptures as spiritual backing and to interpret into modernity.

"And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul." I Samuel 18:1-3

AND

"I am distressed for thee my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women." II Samuel 1:19-27

"…what MAN do you love more than you love your wife? What man do you have so close to your heart that the love for a woman is overshadowed by that of a man? Presuming you have noman in your life that you love more than your wife (if you're married, kind sir)…., Is there a Man you know that is married, (knit to a woman) yet loves a man more? Of course not! Because David loved Jonathan with all he had. David and Jonathan were homosexuals. Discredit me scripturally, or shut up and save the personal attacks for someone who's inept.How many psalmists, artists, musicians, and artistic individuals do you know who practice homosexuality? What's your reasoning…Oh wait, allow me to assume (as you have) what your response might be…you're probably saying "THAT OLD DEVIL JUST PICKS ON THE ARTSY FOLK" huh? I think not. The next time you want to rebut in a way that is as disrespectful as you did, please come with evidence and not just attack. You give me so much fuel to continue my quest in educating the saints of their sons and daughters who happen to be same-gender loving."

I'm sure your next rebuttal will be full of Greek and Hebrew which you have no real interpretation of. However, please note that I am well versed in both. Medicine isn't the only thing I've studied; I also happen to be an Elder who was taught to study the scripturefor its full intent and not for what has been taught through our ignorance of scripture.

Either way, I'm ready.

Dr. Elijah Woods, M.D

First, I would like to say that this gentleman also left his phone number on the message board which HAS NOT checked out. In fact I personally called the number to the hospital that he left and there was no current record of him. He could have been an employee in December of 2007 when this message was made but he IS NOT there now.

In addition I have spoken with Bishop Robert Sanders of Illinois Third Jurisdiction COGIC concerning the identity of this gentleman. Bishop Sanders was previously one of Bishop L.H. Ford’s (Pictured Right) Administrative Assistants and Security Chief in Illinois 1st Jurisdiction. Bishop Sanders has traveled extensively with Bishop L.H. Ford and was familiar with most individuals that Bishop Ford Ordained especially late in his ministry. Not only that, but he is a long time resident of Chicago, Illinois and knows most of the COGIC Elders there. Although the name sounded familiar he could not connect a face.

Further Bishop Sanders suggests that this gentleman produce a certificate of Ordination with Bishop Ford’s signature in order to confirm his identity and credibility. Further the Bishop states the following:

"Anyone preaching and using those scriptures or any biblical scriptures as a pretext in favor of homosexuality is not a scholar of any kind and does not represent the Church Of God In Christ with a message as such." Bishop Sanders further stated that, "There is no way that a knowledgeable person could take those scriptures and even suggest what he’s suggesting…He doesn’t know what he’s talking about." ~ Bishop Robert R. Sanders 9/9/08 (Pictured Left)

We have received information that this gentleman (Dr. Elijah Woods) serves under a Bishop in Wisconsin. We are trying to confirm this information.

It is noteable that the message of this poster is irrely similar to the message of Bishop T.D. Jakes regarding the same and similar subject matter. Elder D.L. Foster has done an outstanding job of exposing his fallacious doctrine HERE.
