False teacher- Andy Stanley

Andy Stanley is a false teacher.

He is not Christian. And is nothing anywhere near who his Christian & biblical preaching father was. He has destroyed the Stanley legacy by turning from biblical truth to follow & teach doctrines of demons. 

He is deceiving millions. Avoid Andy. Block his channels from your social media, and avoid those who follow him.


Why Andy's view of Scripture is bad 

Anti Pauline liberals are false teachers who attack Scripture; debunking Andy's Bible & Christianity video

The subject here is discussing and addressing Canonicity and Authority of the Bible.

☆This video exposes & addresses false teachings; particularly on addressing anti Christian, anti Bible "liberal" ones who also are "anti Paul" (noting Islamists are too). Such decievers also throw out the Old Testament so they can craft & push their own idolatrous demonic teachings. They promote a false idolatrous "Christianity". 

*2 Christians, (who hold Doctorates & debate these issues regularly and accurately), discuss & expose these falsehoods, & correcting them live to educate you in truth. Do not let false preachers decieve you! 

Andy needs to get out of the pulpit

An open message to Andy from biblical preachers

The Dangers of Andy Stanley | Ep. 85; by For the Gospel (clippet here). What did the Apostles preached? The OT! What did Jesus preach in temple and while alive? OT! What did he share on Eremaus road after resurrection to point those men to Jesus? OT! OT is vital to Christianity. Gen 1-11 as well. All the OT tells us about God, sin, faith, holy separation, and points to the Messiah. OT is from God and like NT to be used to teach truth. 66 books were given to us by Gid (Holy Spirit moved men to write it) for our encouragement, for righteous instruction, and to be equipped with its knowledge to witness to Jews and Gentiles & to proclaim the truth. 

The Deconstruction of Andy Stanley” Is specifically about Stanley’s theology and ministry

Andy Stanley poorly prepares sermon material. Has up to 14 people review it? That means input from others is needed to edited and craft every sermon! Shows he is without the gift of pastoralship and without the Holy Spirit. A bunch of blind people in his "church" just leading the blind? It is hard to imagine any true Christian is in his "church". 



Other Christian discernment ministries addressing his statements concerning Scripture, the Old Testament, homosexuality, and church leadership:

Christian Research Institute (CRI) — 2025/2026 assessment directly addresses Stanley’s approach to Scripture, including his “unhitching” language, the authority of the Old Testament, and his argument that the resurrection should be the primary basis of Christian proclamation. Kennedy argues that Stanley's approach creates serious problems for biblical authority. 
 
Kevin DeYoung — pastor and theologian
DeYoung was one of the prominent Protestant critics of Stanley in 2018 on his heretical “unhitch” sermon. He argued that Stanley's treatment of the Old Testament was seriously defective and raised the question of Marcionism (because of the way it separates Christian faith from the Old Testament).
