This is a long article. I’ll cut to the chase: I review Josh Axe very negatively. Before Christian sisters decide to bail and quit reading, I’ll ask you this: do you want to honor Jesus with all your mind, strength, body, and soul? Or do you love Josh Axe so much you will not even entertain anything negative said about him? If the latter, you have an idol in your heart. If you are not a Christian there are still pertinent facts and information for you to consider. And I do hope, whomever you are, to consider them. Helpful links at the end.
Why Josh Axe is not recommended:
1. Syncretism, (Hebrews 13:9)
2. Unsubstantiated or only partially true claims, (Proverbs 11:1).
3. Using the Bible to make money, (1 Timothy 6:9-10)
4. Avoidance of pointing to sin as a general consequence of our health a fallen world (Romans 6:23); or, that taking the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner can cause sickness (1 Corinthians 11:30), that sin may have caused the illness (Psalm 6:2, 6-7) or realizing that some sickness could be a disciplinary act from Jesus- (Exodus 9:9).
