….about a personal friend and a man of God my family knew him all my life. I am the person who places his videos on the internet. Have you listen to some of these people story who were delivered under his ministry. My own sister had lost her ability to function. After His prayer she was delivered from a demon attack. Do feel all these people are lying that he interviews. God brings order out of chaos. As His children, we are to bring order out of chaos, with our lives. Our job is not to attack and berate, but rather to set a good example and speak the truth in love. “I will repay”, says the Lord.
By the way do you have a ministry online? Do you have evidence statements from around the world as to the work you are doing and with signs and miracles according to the word of God? backed by doctor’s reports I believe the key to building the church, letting the Lord build it, is leaving one another alone.
False ministers have “a form of godliness but [deny] its power” (2 Tim. 3:5). They are empty shells. Their gospel has no power to save anyone from sin. Many have been saved, healed set free by the power of God through Pastor Max ministry.
False ministers do not preach the true gospel. Could you point out one message He has preached that was wrong. Personally I enjoy where will you spend eternity.
Pastor Max Solbrekken believes in the absolute authority of Scripture. Max Solbrekken preaches against fornication, adultery, homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, or transgender sexuality. He preaches a heaven to gain and a hell to shun.
Pastor Max Solbrekken preaches Jesus Christ as Lord, that people may look to Jesus and be saved.

Hi Terry,
Have you red everything we have posted on Max on our site, including our correspondence with him?
Solbrekken, Max:
Canada’s Own False Evangelist
An Unclean Bottom-Feeder: Denies Christ Comes in the Flesh
You may think we are guilty of false accusation, but have you red what he has had to say of us and have you considered the reliability and honesty of his sources? Can you honestly say Max hasn’t misrepresented or falsely accused us?
We hear of healings, signs and wonders of many. Would you tell us, for example, that God has used Benny Hinn to miraculously heal people? Are souls being drawn by the Father to the Son by Benny Hinn? What about men like Todd Bentley, Kenneth Copeland and a host of others?
Will you declare that Billy Graham is a true man of God?
You quote the verse that speaks of those who have a form of godliness and deny the power. What about those who demonstrate power?
“For false christs and false prophets will rise up. And they will give great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24 LITV).
“For false christs and false prophets will arise and will give miraculous signs and wonders in order to seduce, if possible, even the elect” (Mark 13:22 MKJV).
2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 MKJV
(7) For the mystery of lawlessness is already working, only he is now holding back until it comes out of the midst.
(8) And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the breath of His mouth and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming,
(9) whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
(10) and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, so that they might be saved.
(11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie,
(12) so that all those who do not believe the truth, but delight in unrighteousness, might be condemned.
Some honest questions for which we’d like to hear honest, responsible answers,

I have read your response in defense of what you believe. Thanks for taking the time to response to my questions. Personally I feel myself it sad that men of God don’t settle issues behind closed doors or in prayer. It makes the church look bad no matter who is in the right. When Christ was accused he said not a word. Not a bad example to follow.
As far as knowing scriptures I am not very good at understanding to many deep thing. I just know I’m saved. And try to live the life that God has called me to. well that’s about it.
I’ll be praying that at the end of all this it will be God who will be gloried.

Hi Terry, and you’re welcome. No offence taken whatsoever, and none intended.
Thank you for your respectful reply. I must say it is in stark contrast to the response we received from the man in question here… Max Solbrekken.
Allow me to correct you on some simple matters.
All men of God will settle differences. By a new nature and will, they are committed to doing so. However, they don’t always do it behind closed doors. Take Paul and Peter for example, as reported by Paul:
Galatians 2:11-16 MKJV
(11) But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was to be blamed.
(12) For before some came from James, he ate with the nations. But when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcision.
(13) And the rest of the Jews also dissembled with him, so as even Barnabas was led away with their dissembling.
(14) But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before all, If you, being a Jew, live as a Gentile, and not as the Jews, why do you compel the nations to Judaize?
(15) We Jews by nature, and not sinners of the nations,
(16) knowing that a man is not justified by works of the Law, but through faith in Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ, and not by works of the Law. For all flesh will not be justified by works of law.
IS Max Solbrekken a true man of God? You know our answer. Most people would have considered the Pharisees, scribes and Sadducees to be men of God, as well. Many of them were not only religious, but also a rather sociable, apparently clean-living bunch of fellows and not as imagined or portrayed today in nominal Christian circles. However, Jesus often had public disputes with them in front of anyone who happened to be standing by, whether His disciples, authorities, or the common people.
It simply isn’t true that Jesus didn’t reply to them, Terry. Where did you get that idea, except from false teachers? The Scripture does say He didn’t revile when reviled, but He certainly answered His opponents, and in no uncertain terms. Try Matthew 23 for example. Or how about when as an invited guest to dinner, He rebuked the host and other guests before all?
Luke 11:37-54 MKJV
(37) And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. And He went in and reclined.
(38) And when the Pharisee saw it, he was amazed that He had not first washed before dinner.
(39) And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the platter clean, but your inward part is full of plunder and wickedness.
(40) Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?
(41) But give alms of such things as you have, and behold, all things are clean to you.
(42) But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to leave the other undone.
(43) Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and greetings in the markets.
(44) Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like unseen tombs and the men walking above are not aware of them.
(45) And one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, Master, You reproach us also when You say this.
(46) And He said, Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens grievous to be carried, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
(47) Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
(48) Truly you bear witness that you consent to the deeds of your fathers. For they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.
(49) Therefore the wisdom of God also said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute,
(50) so that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
(51) from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple. Truly I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
(52) Woe to you, lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and you have hindered those who were entering in.
(53) And as He said these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw Him out concerning many things,
(54) lying in ambush for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, so that they might accuse Him.
John the Immerser, full of the Holy Spirit, also didn’t spare hypocrites. You need to ask God to give you some guidance and enlightenment in the Scriptures. You need a good dose of reality to counter the disease of religiosity, one that plagues many and blinds them.
Did Jesus’ rebukes “make the church look bad”? No, Jesus brought reproach not to believers but to unbelievers, to hypocrites, to the religious who posed as righteous, like your friend Max, a thorough phony.
And Max isn’t interested in repentance or genuine prayer to deal with himself or issues of importance to God. You need only witness how he reacted to us and chose to believe blatant lies told about us by a liar whom we proved to be a liar, posting both sides of the conflict in full at our site while Shaparenko only posted falsehoods and fabrications. And Max thinks himself an anointed pastor or evangelist of God? We don’t think so, not for a moment. God knows better and causes us to know better. One day both you and Max will also know better.
“I’ll be praying that at the end of all this it will be God who will be gloried.”
No fear there, Terry; God will be glorified and you’ll know it.
I’m sure you don’t require our permission but you’re perfectly free to share this correspondence with whomever you will.
