A Critique of the Teachings of False Teacher Brother Stair

The following is a collection of critiques of the teachings of Brother R G Stair, better known as Brother Stair.

Someone asked me if I knew anything about Brother Stair. His name sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't quite place his beliefs. I found out that Stair proclaims himself as "The Last Day Prophet of God" and is broadcasting his radio programs across the US and around the world via shortwave radio.

I searched the Internet and, besides Stair's own web pages, I came up with several sites that have critiqued him. However, I prefer to get original documents to critique if possible, rather than taking another's word for what someone said (which might have been taken out of context). I couldn't find any of his sermons in text, only audio, and I didn't want to wait weeks to get them through the mail so I sought out a local radio station where I could record him myself.

And lo and behold I realized I have been listening to him myself when my radio first turns on in the morning. I had been listening to another local radio teacher that I thoroughly enjoyed when Stair took over that time slot (5:30 am) and his sermons were so off the wall I just flicked him off every morning without bothering to change the channel, hoping the other teacher would come back on.

However, now I have several hours of Stair's sermons recorded on tape and believe I have heard enough to be very concerned about the teachings of this man that claims to be a Prophet of God.

RG Stair's so-called "Commands of the Lord":

Get out of the cities.
Get out of debt.
Get out of the churches.
Get the TV out of your home.
Stop going to doctors.
Get with God's people (few in number).
Be prepared to wait for His coming until.

Some of these commands appear innocuous, and others downright dangerous. The following critique provides an introduction to Stair's background with several articles on Stair's false teachings linked from that article, such as: Stair's Historical Background, and Stair's Vehement Anti-PreTrib Stance, where he claims the PreTrib doctrine is a damnable heresy; Stair's Erroneous Seven Women Theory where he is shown to take Scripture out of context; and A critique of Stair's, "Who Then Can Be Saved" where he claims that going to the doctor, watching TV, etc., is the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, i.e., unforgivable sins. Also check out personal testimonies.
