This article in The Crux E-Letter caught my eye. It is the third article down in the E-Letter.
According to Don Veinot:
What began as a political movement seems to have been transformed into a religious movement. The false prophets of the NAR aligned themselves with [QAnon] and many evangelicals also embraced the movement.
Veinot quotes Pastor Gordon Runyan who writes:
[QAnon’s] ranks were swelled with Evangelical Christians, who would never knowingly adopt a different faith, but then did… …continue reading article…

Email response from Terry:
No. I can’t say I agree with this article. It is shallow in its accusations. It doesn’t go into any proof that this is afalse religious movement or strange wind of doctrine. It just makes the accusation that it is equal to the false , end times deception going on.
I’ve read quite a bit about Q, and don’t see it in any way as something meant to pervert God’s Word.
It might be more fiction than fact in many cases, but it in no way lures Christians to adopt a new gospel or anything of the sort.
I’ve found that many of this political advocate or these advocates has or have provided facts that have proven true, although not all. I see these as avowed patriotic, extremely optimistic, predictions rather than as false prophesies of a religious sort.
Certainly I don’t see it as an attempt to create another gospel of any sort.

Email comment from Ed:
I don’t know that much about how QAnon operates and when I read the article this morning, I thought it was helpful. I have read some other articles and it clearly looks like a cultic movement. Of equal concern it seems to be drawing evangelicals away from the sufficiency of God’s Word. The draw with QAnon seems to be that it rightly reports some of the evil that is truly going on. Bill Gates is a globalist and he clearly has expressed his acceptance of the more extreme “measures” advocated by this movement.
Nevertheless, the adversary often uses that “bushel” of truth so he can plant a certain number of grains of cyanide.
For decades Herbert W. Armstrong published The Plain Truth magazine and there were accurate articles and some truth, which Armstrong used as a snare.
The offshoots of the Worldwide Church of God (United Church of God, Philadelphia Church of God, et. al.) also continue that tactic. We have had numerous readers who received copies of the Philadelphia Trumpet contact us. They asked for info on the publishers but almost aways commented on how helpful and truthful the articles were.
Yet in each issue there is a small ad saying something like, “if you were enlightened by these articles, we’d be happy to send free of charge a booklet…”
I agree with the article. These times of deception seem to have already exceeded what the world has received before.
Charisma Magazine more than a decade ago began including articles “exposing” how some selective movements have departed from the faith. They painted themselves as reformers. In the meantime, the same prominent word faith/NAR/etc. leaders continued to have a forum and advertised their books (many published by Charisma’s publishing arm).
And that’s just a portion of the deception.
