What a joy it was to sit down and chat with Doreen Virtue and Melissa Dougherty recently to discuss…well, all kinds of things! From the role of women in the church to Christian women in online ministry, from yoga to the Enneagram, I think we pretty much covered it all!
I would encourage you to watch some of Doreen’s and Melissa’s other videos, and subscribe to their YouTube channels:ย Doreen ย Melissa. You can also follow these wonderful ladies on Facebook: Doreenย Melissa, and on Twitter: Doreenย Melissa.

What are your thoughts about the current controversy surrounding Doreen and her false testimony?

Hi Joan- Doreen doesn’t have a false testimony, she has a true testimony of Christ saving her. If you mean the slander and abuse she has recently been enduring over Satan deceiving her with a demonic spirit when she wasn’t even saved yet, I gave my thoughts about that last week in this article.

I used to like Doreen virtue because she came out of the new age. However after I discovered sheโs a calvinist, I tried to tell her itโs a false teaching and found sheโs not humble and unteachable. Sheโs since blocked me and continues to be led astray. I pray she see the light eventually and repents.

It’s not that she is (or I am) unteachable, it’s that we’re not “false teachable”. What you’re saying about Calvinism (in this comment of yours and the one I declined to publish) is not just simple disagreement, it’s lies and false doctrine according to Scripture. The fact that neither of us will believe your lies/false doctrine doesn’t mean we’re unteachable, it means your beliefs are unbiblical and we’re discerning enough not to believe them. Hope that clears things up for you. (Unless you repent and would like to respond accordingly, there’s no need to comment any further on this {see my comment parameters in the Welcome tab in the blue menu bar at the top of this page, which you were supposed to read before you commented the first time}. I won’t read it and it won’t be published.)
