IQ World Record Holder Exposed!

You may have heard of YoungHoon Kim on X, the self-proclaimed world record IQ holder.  In the pinned post, he claims to have an IQ of 276.  And if you scroll down his main profile page, you'll find he parrots all of the mainstream Christian talking points, and Young-Earth Creationist (I am also YEC) talking points.  There's just one problem, and I'll let this video I found explain it:

Yeah, YoungHoon Kim made-up his IQ score.  But nearly every Christian (including myself) fell for him.  While I don't agree with all of his talking points, I did fall for his claims that (a) he's the certified world record IQ holder, and (b) that he's a Christian.  Looking back on it, I should have been able to identify the red flags that the video pointed-out and investigate myself.  But I didn't.  In fact, it would seem that hardly anyone did.  They all failed to "test al things" (1 Thessalonians 5:21), as did I.

By the way, one point brought up in the video is that apologetics ministries were promoting him and didn't do anything to verify his claims before doing so.  Here's a question:  Why?  The answer is quite simple:  The man is parroting all of their most important talking points (most apologetics ministries that I know of are YEC, by the way) under the perceived authority that comes from being known as the world's smartest person.  They're looking to justify themselves in the eyes of man.  This is a trait that everyone has by default and resurfaces from time to time.  But you can bet that these same ministries would be blasting him if he was parroting atheist talking points under the perceived authority of the world's smartest person.

Now, let's take a look at some of these posts and see for ourselves that this man is speaking out of pride (for some reason, these X posts don't seem to be embedding properly):

Notice that he starts off each post with "From the world's highest IQ record holder..."  Almost all of his posts begin this way.  He wants you to believe him just because he's (allegedly) the smartest person in the world.  In the best case scenario, this is simply pride talking.  Even if he does hold the record for highest IQ, that does not mean you should forgo testing everything.  As far as you should be concerned, anyone who starts their posts of with any claim of authority, be it a PhD or an IQ record holder, it is the equivalent of saying, "Suchandsuch is true because I say it is.  Don't try to verify my claims."

Even if this man is speaking with integrity, that doesn't mean he's always going to be right.  If he's prideful (which he is), that pride will one day result in him being wrong in the most obvious and most embarrassing way possible.  One must always be careful to keep one's own pride in check before it destroys one's credibility.  And once one's credibility is destroyed, it's hard to rebuild it.  Remember that God opposes the proud (James 4:6).  So even those who speak the truth will be brought low by God if they become puffed up with pride.

Now what about the claim that Truth speaks through Joe Rogan?  Well, I don't pay attention to Joe Rogan and I am not familiar with any of his teachings, so I am not in a position to say one way or another if he is telling the truth.  That is something that you will have to test yourself.

Here's another one of his posts:

Same pattern of claiming authority to get you to uncritically accept his claims.  This time, in declaring evolution is a scam.  Mr. Kim is absolutely correct that evolution is a scam, and that only the Biblical account of Creation is the truthful account of Creation.

Here's another post:

Same pattern.  But this time, his claim is not entirely correct.  While it is true that abortion, without exception, is murder, and it is true that there is never an excuse for abortion, what is not true is the claim that God said, "Do not kill".  The actual commandment is "Do not murder".  The KJV got it wrong in Exodus 20:13.

This simply proves the point that we should still test everything that anyone says.  Being the smartest person in the world doesn't mean you know everything.  And there is a big difference between knowledge and intelligence.  No matter how much knowledge you have, you will always be wrong about something and not know something.  But what you do not know, someone else probably does know.  But even the collective knowledge of all mankind does not know everything.

Now, I actually do not blame him for getting this one wrong.  Not everyone can study everything.  And I do not expect most Christians to do a deep study on the Hebrew or Greek texts of Scripture.  Nor do I expect most Christians to know how to do that.  I would like for all Christians to know how to do that (and I encourage you to do so), as it would make my job a lot easier and (more importantly) increase the level of discernment among Christians.  But that is just not going to happen.  And for all intents and purposes, whether the command is a blanket prohibition against killing or just an explicit prohibition against murder isn't going to affect most Christians.

Let's now take a look at another one of his posts:

Here, he shares a bit of personal testimony.  But here is also where I think his pride shines through the most.  Because he is trying to get you to accept everything he says by claiming at he beginning to be the record IQ holder.  This simply is not needed for personal testimony.  In this case, I'm not quite sure he's giving a personal testimony.  Since he's puffed himself up full of pride, this may actually be a call for help.  But I would love for this to be personal testimony.  And if I'm wrong, and it is personal testimony, then this is fantastic.

But what's going to happen when more and more people wake up to the fact that he's lying about being the official IQ record holder?  All his fame will disappear.  Apologetics ministries will quietly unpublish all of their articles about him, or make an example out of him about the difference between professing faith and living faith.  Atheists and other enemies of Christianity will use him as proof that Christians need fraudsters to uphold their faith.  And it will be a massive blow to the credibility of Christianity that this man was uncritically accepted by so many Christians.

Also, being cured of depression and anxiety isn't proof that Jesus is God.  Especially not by itself.  In fact, that one claim alone exposes a huge lapse in critical thinking on Mr. Kim's part.  For someone with the (allegedly) highest IQ in the world, he made a huge blunder that would be expected from someone with just an average IQ or lower.  And don't IQ tests measure a person's critical thinking skills among other things?  I believe that this statement alone proves his IQ isn't nearly as high as he claims it is.

If you really want proof that Jesus is God, look no further than the record of Jesus fulfilling every prophecy concerning his first coming (many of them are impossible to fabricate), including all of the miracles that he was to perform, and him teaching and practicing the law of God perfectly and according to its intended meaning.  That, coupled with the fact that Scripture points to Jesus as the one that the prophets spoke about as being "God with us", proves that Jesus is God.

Miracles by themselves cannot prove that Jesus is God.  Fulfillment of prophecies alone cannot prove it.  Rising from the dead doesn't prove it.  Raising others from the dead cannot prove it.  Even teaching and practicing the law perfectly cannot prove it.  It is all of those things combined with the necessary statement from the prophets that the Messiah would be "God with us" that proves that Jesus is God.  Had the prophets never said that he would be "God with us", then Jesus would not be God.

By the way, we're not very far in this man's timeline (even though I have skipped over many of his posts), and we have already found a major example of his pride getting in the way of his intelligence.  Assuming that his intelligence is as high as he wants us to believe it is.  Ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger Effect?

Let's take a careful look at a couple more posts:

Here, he's using his alleged IQ record to claim that somebody else (Donald Trump) is the smartest person in the world.  Mr. Kim is outright saying that he is both the smartest person in the world and not the smartest person in the world in the same post!  And if Trump is the smartest at an IQ of around 200, then it's impossible for Mr. Kim to have an IQ higher than Trump's IQ.  This one post alone (in my opinion) proves the grift, and is a lousy attempt at false humility.  The irony is that (in my opinion at least), Trump is actually much smarter than Mr. Kim.  Mr. Kim has become instantly famous, but his fame is going to quickly unravel, probably fading into obscurity quickly.  Trump built-up his fame in such a way that it will last for generations.  Whether or not you agree with what Trump is doing is irrelevant here.  There can be no doubt that Trump is more intelligent than Mr. Kim on this point alone.

Okay, here's the last post we're going to cover:

For those who don't know, I actually tested the Biblical inerrancy claim and found it to be both unbiblical and false.  I've even made a couple posts here and here, the latter of which goes into detail about a claim used to "prove" inerrancy.  In short, the Bible isn't perfect, nor does it claim to be perfect.  Nor is everything in the Bible the "word of God", and that's actually a good thing.  And your faith certainly should not stand on the Bible being perfect.  Rather, it should stand on the Bible being trustworthy, because it is trustworthy, in spite of the fact that it's not perfect.  Though, the number of errors in Scripture is so low that rounding to the nearest percent almost certainly yields a result of 0%.

Review his timeline while you still can.  I've been scrolling far beyond the post I quoted above, and cannot find one instance of him correcting a single mainstream Christian doctrine.  Not one post.  And it's not like there's a lack of incorrect doctrine within mainstream Christianity.  Even if you disagree with me on Biblical inerrancy (which is your right, especially if you have studied Scripture for yourself to draw your own conclusions), we should at least agree that mainstream Christianity is going to get something wrong eventually.  Right?  So why does it seem that he does not use the implicit authority that comes from having the highest IQ to correct errors in mainstream Christian doctrine?  Perhaps it's because he's seeking praise from men.

If he wasn't outright lying about his IQ, I would conclude that this man is an infant in the faith and letting his pride get in the way of growing in the Messiah.  And that he needs to be taught humility.  The most intelligent people are the ones who, upon receiving correct, test the correction, and upon learning that it's true, take it to heart, accept it, and put it into practice.  Those who seek attention and pride will be brought low, even if they are right about everything else.

But the fact that he actually is lying about his IQ record status proves that he isn't practicing the Christian faith.  And if he somehow doesn't know that you're not allowed to lie for Jesus (not surprising, since most apologists do exactly that, but at least try to appear humble), his response to being exposed will tell us everything about the sincerity of his faith.  If he accepts correction, and changes his ways, he is a genuine Christian.  If he rejects correction, especially repeated correction, continuing in his lies, then he is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

When Apologists Claim Christianity is Idolatry

Of all the people you expect to make the claim that Christianity is idolatry, who would be your last pick?  Try apologetics ministries.  Because they pretty much do exactly that, but in a round-about way that you're not likely to catch, but which a Jew will almost certainly catch.  Have you ever heard the claim that, "the Jews don't worship the same god that Christians do because they don't worship Jesus"?  Guess what:  Any Jew that understands God's law will take this as an open admission that Christians serve a different god than the one that brought them out of Egypt.  Of course, the same people who make such a claim will also state that Jesus is the same God that brought Israel out of Egypt.  But this isn't going to help much.  This would have made a great entry into my 5 Inconsistencies With Church Doctrines post.

Let's examine the first claim from the perspective of a religious Jew who has even just a basic understanding of the Deuteronomy 13 Test.  A religious Jew believes he/she is worshiping the God who brought the descendants of Jacob out of the land of Egypt.  This God then have the nation of Israel his law, which includes instructions on how to test a teacher.  These instructions state that if anyone comes in the name of another god, you are not to listen to that teacher.  Now, here comes your mainstream "Christian" apologist from a very popular apologetics ministry who claims that the Jews and Christians do not worship the same god.  Do you see the problem here?

So now we have the religious Jew who believes that he/she is worshiping the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  And we have the Christian, who also believes that he/she is worshiping the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  And in one "careless" statement, the "Christian" apologist has caused both of them to believe that the other worships a false god.  In other words, the apologist has caused the Jews to believe that Christianity is the epitome of idolatry!  Thus the apologist has just made it that much harder.  Because according to Deuteronomy 13, anyone coming in the name of another god (aka:  exactly what the apologist claims every Christian is doing) is to be put to death.  Obviously, not a good way to win a Jew to the Lord.

If we want to win a devout Jew to the Lord, we need to do it in a way that does not cause them to think that we are coming in the name of a different god, yet does not compromise the truth.  Does such a way exist?  Yes.  Actually, two ways that I can think of.  The first is to prove that the Jews do not, in fact, worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  We can do that by pointing out the more subtle definition of idolatry in Deuteronomy 13:  Disobedience.  That's right, Deuteronomy 13 defines obedience as serving Yahweh, and disobedience as serving other gods (aka: idolatry).  Though I seriously doubt this approach will work for the simple reason that most who profess being Christian make every excuse in the apologetics book to avoid obeying God's law.  Have fun winning them over by making them think you're a hypocrite.  Most apologists are probably not going to use that approach anyways because they know very well the implications of Deuteronomy 13.

The second way is to prove that the God who brought Israel out of Egypt is the same God that sent Yeshua (Jesus).  Or if you insist on being more picky than the original apostles on how you present things (there's something for a future post), prove that Yeshua is the God that brought Israel out of Egypt.  Not only are these things true, and easily proved from just the Old Testament alone, but it also has the added benefits of (a) not making Christianity look like idolatry, and (b) not making Christians look like hypocrites.

Here's another point to consider:  Upon learning that "Jews and Christians don't serve the same god" (assuming for a moment that the claim is true), did you assume that Christians serve the right god while the Jews do not?  Because it can also be the case that it's the Jews who serve the right god while the Christians do not, or that neither the Christians nor the Jews serve the right god.  Those who make the claim that "Jews and Christians don't serve the same god" are counting on you to make the assumption that Christians serve the right god while Jews serve the wrong god.  They are also counting on you to not even consider the possibility that neither serve the right god, or to even know what it truly means to serve God.

So what does it mean to serve God?  I already answered that when I referenced the Deuteronomy 13 Test.  Serving God means obeying him and keeping his law/commandments.  So it's those who keep God's commandments truly serve him.  And this should give you something else to consider:  Since Deuteronomy 13 is teaching you how to test the teachers and prophets when it defines disobedience as idolatry, it means that anyone who claims to be the Messiah must teach obedience to God's law, also called "Torah" in Hebrew, which literally means "instructions".  Such a person must also himself keep the Torah.  Any messiah that does not both keep and teach Torah, by definition, cannot be the son of God.

Here's another point to consider:  Just because you serve someone named "Jesus" (aka: "Yeshua"), doesn't mean you serve the right Jesus, for there are many counterfeits.  So how do you know you're serving the right one?  You actually already have your answer:  The one you obey is the one you serve (Romans 6:16).  So if you put Yeshua's teaching in the Bible into practice, and obey his commandments, then you are by definition, serving the son of God.  Jesus is also the example of how to obey Torah.  And since he outright commanded us to obey God's law, you cannot be serving Jesus without also keeping Torah.

So if saying Christians and Jews don't serve the wrong way to evangelize, then what's the right way?  Well, we already have part of the answer.  Both Jews and Christians claim to worship the God of the Bible, also referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  And apologists do a very good job of showing how Yeshua fulfilled all of the "Old Testament" prophecies concerning his first coming.  That's already a pretty good start.  But we also need to approach the issue as if both Christians and Jews do serve the same god.  Because in the mind of the Christian, Christians do serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  And in the mind of the Jew, Jews do serve the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Here comes the part that most Christians will not like:  We must stop dressing Yeshua and those who were around him in that day in pagan clothing and symbolism, and dress them in the Jewish clothing of that day.  For Yeshua (Jesus) was born a Jew and lived as a Jew, having Jewish parents and practicing Jewish customs in strict accordance with Torah (Yeshua did not practice any Jewish customs that were contrary to Torah).  We must also stop claiming that Yeshua abolished the law, as he clearly said he did not come to abolish it, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17).  If we no longer have to keep the law (the law was never about salvation, by the way), then Yeshua did the opposite of fulfilling the law.  By the way, another thing most Christians won't like is the fact that following in Yeshua's example means doing what Yeshua did [1 John 2:6].

While there will be some success in reaching out to Jews without actually walking as Yeshua walked, you certainly aren't going to be provoking them to jealousy by hanging onto all of your Golden Calves.  In other words, our effectiveness at bringing God's elect to salvation is directly tied to how we portray Yeshua.  But the moment a Jew comes across a Christian apologist saying that Christians and Jews do not serve the same god is the moment that our witness to God's chosen people becomes entirely ineffective to all Christians until we can first prove that Christians and Jews do indeed serve the same God.  And woe to anyone who deliberately sabotages any attempt at Jewish outreach.

The Importance of Repentance

I haven't mentioned repentance much on this blog.  In fact, a quick search will reveal only four posts where I use the word "repent" or "repentance" (not counting this one).  But while I may not mention it much, I have actually been teaching it the whole time, but not directly.  How?  It has to do with the definition of "repent".  In Ezekiel 14:6, God defines repentance as turning away from idolatry.  And in Ezekiel 18:30, God defines repentance as turning away from your transgressions of his law.  So repentance is defined as forsaking your ways that are contrary to God's law.  If you had asked me what the definition of repentance was a year ago, I would have said that it's regret or remorse over your sin, which is actually not far from the truth.

One interesting thing to note about these passages is that the Hebrew texts literally say "turn back, turn back".  The word for "turn back" is used twice in a row, which is a classic Hebrew idiom emphasizing the importance of what is being said.  The Hebrew word in question is "sub", which is used not only in the context of turning from sin, but also in literal contexts.  The translators, in translating the passages as saying, "repent and turn back", are preserving the definition of repent.

In my post about sins not covered by the blood of Jesus, I ask, "But if anyone uses that [forgiveness by stopping rebellion against God's law] as an excuse to start deliberately doing what they know is sinful, because they can later 'stop and repent', is that repentance even genuine?"  The answer to this question is actually another question:  Do they genuinely hate the fact that they used God's mercy as a license to sin?  Like what I said in that post, genuine believers do not want to sin.  So the one that says, "I can sin now and repent later", follows through with their plan to deliberately sin, and asks for forgiveness afterwards, but without forsaking their "I can sin now and repent later" mentality, then that person's repentance is not genuine.  Only when they forsake that "sin now, repent later" mindset will that person be truly repentant of their sin.

In another post, where I refuted the claim that Christians sin every day in thought and deed, I noted that a Christian who does not yet know God's requirements may indeed sin every day, but those who know God's commandments will rarely sin.  I even mention repentance at the end of that post when I say that when we become aware of our sins and repent, God forgives us.

I should make a quick note that I probably should not have stated that the blood of Jesus covers sins.  Since Jesus does not cover sins, but takes them away entirely.  There is a big difference.  In those posts, when I used "cover", I used it to indicate the types of sins that are eligible for forgiveness, and did not give any thought about the implications of the other type of covering.  What I did correctly point out in those posts, is that repentance is a prerequisite for forgiveness.

Now that I've mentioned that repentance is required for forgiveness, I'm liable to get an objection from someone who will say, "that is works salvation", or, "salvation is by faith alone".  Neither of those assertions are actually true.  I'll summarize here:  Jesus said, "unless you repent, you will likewise perish" [Luke 13:3 & 5].  Paul taught that salvation is by faith apart from works [Romans 3:28], not by faith alone.  And the only time we find "faith alone" in Scripture is when James refutes it [James 2:24].  Maybe that should be a future post.  Besides, nobody is saying that your works are what saves you.  But works can certainly keep you from being saved, as the Bible makes very clear in many places.  Read the Bible carefully.

Also, consider the Parable of the Prodigal Son.  The prodigal son represents someone who forsakes God, then later comes back to God and is accepted back into the family even though the son is not deserving of such acceptance.  The father in the parable represents our Heavenly Father, who will accept those who return to him and even celebrate our returning to him, though we do not deserve it and even acknowledge that we do not deserve any such favors.

There are many more instances in Scripture warning us to repent, which I encourage you to search for yourself.  In conclusion, without turning from disobedience to obedience to God's commandments, there is no forgiveness of sins or salvation.  But also that God will accept, and even celebrate, all who come to him in repentance, and believe in his son.

Change of Heart, Change of Style

A while ago, on social media, a posted a rather harsh reply to something that a pastor posted, and got rebuked for not making my reply in a loving way.  After a long time thinking, I realized that those who rebuked me were right, but I couldn't find the post again to give my response accepting the rebukes.  In light of this correction, I'm not only going to change my style when I correct Christians on social media, but also when I post on this blog corrections of false doctrine.  I want my posts to come off as being made with a loving attitude regardless of whether it's encouragement, questioning, correction, rebuke, or exposing deceivers.  This is something I should have been doing from the beginning since it is a command of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.  Now because I don't edit or delete any posts that have been published on this blog, you will be able to see this transition.

Now, there is another change I'm going to be making to how I write blog posts.  Previously, when I've been exposing false teaching, referring to articles or posts from others, I would omit linking the post or naming those who teach those false teachings.  This was done because I did not want to lend them any credibility by naming those who teach such things or linking to their articles.  I now believe this to be wrong.  So there will be blog posts in the future where I link directly to the articles I'm refuting, along with naming the ones teaching those false things.

The Body of Christ is NOT the Church

The Body of the Messiah consists of those who believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah (Christ) and have put their trust in him for their salvation.  It is often stated that this body of believers is the Church.  In actuality, the Church is a different entity entirely.  A quick look into the origin of the word Church reveals that the word is derived from the words for "circle" or "circus".  But the Greek word translated as "Church" (ekklesia) is a compound word that literally means "to call out".  What does a circle have to do with being God's called-out?  Nothing.  And isn't it interesting that a doctrine so core to Christianity that it was in the name was lost to history over the millennia.  Then again, the Truth does have a way of sneaking its way through.  Because rather than being called out from worldly practices and teachings, the Church instead embraces them, "claiming them for Christ" and advocating or even mandating said things.

Jesus established the Ekklesia (called-out) in AD 30.  In AD 325, Constantine established the Church.  It was still probably called "ekklesia" back then because the Catholic Church hijacks everything, but that is the definitive point in history where it stopped being the Called-Out and started being the Circus.  Constantine's establishment was made as a means of controlling the Body of the Messiah by keeping them from the practices that God ordained (eg: 7th Day Sabbath) and in slavery to idolatry.  And the doctrine of this establishment has changed over the centuries with each change of doctrine bringing about a reinterpretation of Scripture to suit that change.  They have even changed some "New Testament" passages on rare occasion, such as Mark 16:9-20, which are not in the original manuscripts.

One important detail is that "the Church" (as far as my usage of the word is concerned) is not the Catholic Church or any particular Protestant denomination, or anything else that calls itself a "Church".  That's right, it's independent of the Catholic Church because it is a system rather than an organization.  Constantine established both the organization and the system.  Both of which have evolved over the years, but in different ways.  The organization evolved to "claim for Christ" the various pagan practices that surrounded it while the system evolved to better keep people from wandering too far from Catholic doctrine, so that they don't rediscover the freedom that comes from keeping God's Law.  The most notable point in this evolution is the weaponization of apologetics (both the weaponization and apologetics are for future posts).

This system of course does have "gatekeepers" among both Catholics and Protestants.  (The "gatekeepers" within the Catholic Church shouldn't be a surprise as the Catholic Church is what created the system in the first place.)  You can identify these "gatekeepers" quite easily:  Just challenge or outright deny any doctrine that has very little, if any, biblical support (it does not have to be any of their core doctrines) and watch them forget how to use apologetics to defend said doctrine.  Actually, even that isn't necessary.  Because in some cases where a doctrine is being challenged or outright denied, but has extensive biblical support, the evidence brought against the doctrine is often itself another doctrine held by the system.  When this happens, a false doctrine is used as evidence that a true doctrine is actually false doctrine.  Since the Church believes both of these doctrines to be true or is incapable of letting go of either one, they are unable to provide an adequate defense of the true doctrine, even though one does exist.

Where does the above-mentioned scenario happen?  That is exactly the scenario playing out among those who believe that Paul was a deceiver.  The Church and those who hold that Paul was a deceiver both hold to the false doctrine that Paul taught against God's Law.  The Church holds to the doctrine that Paul was a legitimate Apostle of Yeshua.  But Paul's alleged teaching against God's Law is the evidence that Paul was a deceiver.  The Church is incapable of proving that Paul was a legitimate Apostle simply because it is a system designed to keep people from God's Law of Liberty.  And proving that Paul was legitimate would prove that the Church is the real deceiver.

On a final point:  These "gatekeepers" have an advantage that no other system has.  What is this advantage?  Jus ask:  Why would anyone who believes they will burn for eternity for lying lie to the masses?  That is the advantage that they have in their deception!  And that is also the perfect cover-up for the system of deception, regardless of whether the ones teaching that liars burn for eternity actually believe their own doctrine.  It's important to note that not everyone who uses the Church's talking points is part of the system.  Remember:  This is a system of deception.  There are going to be people who fall for their deceptions.  This is one reason why we need to test everything [1 Thessalonians 5:21], so that we only accuse the deceivers of being deceivers.

In conclusion, the Body of Believers are the "Called-Out" of God.  We are those who have been called out of sin and idolatry and we should refer to ourselves as such.
