2.  His name is Adam. He has no agenda other than the truth. Or at least that’s what all his social media tells you. But he is not what he tells you he is. He is a false prophet, fake news perpetrator, a sexual predator and serial adulterer. He preaches about religious doctrines and practices he himself does not follow. He is a con man who only lives off of fraud and deceit and an egomaniac and a blatant narcissist who thinks so highly of himself he even made a cult so he can be the center of it all. His followers are deluded into thinking they are worshiping God when in fact they are just feeding the unsatiable ego of their leader. He is a danger to anyone who pays him even a morsel of attention and he should be stopped.
3.  Adam Garfinkel, or as he would like to be addressed, Adam Fink, is the Head of the Ministry of the Parable of the Vineyard based in Nixa, Missouri. The ministry is a part of the growing Hebrew Roots movement, which, although not a monolithic movement with one common theology, primarily advocates for the adherence to the Torah and the belief in Yeshua as the Messiah.
4.  The ministry of the Parable functions more like a cult than an actual ministry. It is not uncommon for male cult leaders, such as Adam, to take sexual advantage over their female followers or use violents to exploit them sexually. One example of it, which I will be elaborating in the coming paragraphs, is Adam’s assertion that they should leave their unbelieving husbands for him so the wives could claim a place in heaven after the apocalypse. A cult, as defined by modern English, is a social group that is defined by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals, or its common interest in a particular personality, object, or goal. It is often used as a pejorative term. While it may be easy to dismiss cults as any religion which you do not like or have opposing values as the one you currently practice, Adam certainly has made it for the sole purpose of sustaining his needs, be it carnal or financial. It is not for worshiping or spreading moral values and virtues. His stake in this ministry is not anyone’s salvation but only his earthly satisfaction. His goal is not to save anyone’s soul or guide anyone’s morality but fulfill his needs. And as disgusting as it is, the Parable is still persuasive enough to lure in a lot of potential victims down Adam’s destructive path.
5.  Adam preaches about the movement on a lot of platforms and social media sites, but he gained traction on the internet on his youtube channel, Parable of the Vineyard. He uploads his weekly virtual church and congregation and livestream some of his video discussions, often with guests. But refuting his claims, however outrageous it could sound to some ears, and converting his beliefs are not our objectives this time. Religion is only incidental to the moral depravity he vehemently preaches against on a daily basis. We are revealing the sheer degeneracy of the man behind the mask of religious ascendancy.
6.  According to his channel description, he was led on a journey of truth and found Yahuah’s Word to be the truth. There he guides the path for those who wish to tread the course of the righteous. But righteous, he certainly was not. Although there is a charm in a preacher with a past peppered with faults and cracks, he is not one of those. He uses his unique position to take advantage of the members of his ministry in the furtherance of personal ambitions and desires, all of which could not be more far-removed from the sweet words his lying tongue preaches.
7.  To start to comprehend the abuses this man does daily, we are looking into one of his frequent collaborators on his channel, Justin Best, formerly recognized as Justin from the Christian Truthers. Justin was a full-time Christian minister and Torah teacher for about 4 1/2 years before undergoing his Christian deconversion. During that time, he tackled a vast array of topics from New Testament apologetics, Old Testament philosophy, prophecies, apostleship, the “true community of Israel,” the removed books, ancient history, biblical law, and much more. He then became one of the regular guests on the channel before his deconversion. From his extramarital affairs to preaching of false doctrines, he witnessed a lot of the murkier side of the preacher over the course of their collaboration. And after their fallout, he has addressed several of the issues surrounding the “cult” that is the Parable of the Vineyard that Adam runs. So It’s not hard to imagine he caught Adam’s attention.
8.  From Justin’s to several other accounts of Adam’s immoral acts, we will be basing our unmasking. We will divide our discussion into two parts: Adam as a false prophet and as an adulterer in the hopes that it will deter anyone from ever watching any videos from his channel or becoming one of his ministry’s followers, or more appropriately, his victims.
9.  Adam as a False prophet
10.  Back in 2017, Adam latched on to the idea that the rapture was upon us based on his misinterpretations of the book of Revelations. He had even uploaded several videos regarding this claim which had gotten over a million views. He shoved the idea that the biblical end-times would occur on September 23, 2017(lol), which would commence the seven-year tribulation.
11.  Of course, the Earth as we know it is still thriving in 2022 so the conspiracy remained a conspiracy, but that did not hold Adam back from preaching the same falsehood over and over again over the course of 2017 with variations that had also gotten wild every time. From the good ol’ “No one can see the sign that has kicked off the apocalypse” to an eclipse occurring over the United States, and over Salem specifically, would be proof of such apocalypse occurring just because there is Salem in Jerusalem, it seemed like Adam has an abundance of fallacies and was not running out thereof anytime soon. Outrageous claims become more outrageous, and his audience lapped it up every single time.
12.  Adam pursued this false narrative because it was the subject matter that gave him more traction on YouTube, more views, and engagement which subsequently means monetization and profit. It was getting him coins at that time, so it’s natural for him to squeeze out the narrative dry. The well provides until it doesn’t. And when people got upset and started realizing that either the rapture Adam was speaking of was not coming or was patently false, he knew it was time to fabricate new lies to survive off of.
13.  This is the danger of false prophets and fake news peddlers in general having platforms where they can have the safe space to proliferate their propaganda. There are little to no repercussions to their lies and deception because their abuse of the platform either remains largely unchecked or they have evaded scrutiny due to the large freedom they enjoy on said platforms.
14.  Now that his rapture narrative has crumbled, Adam has met with the then-budding virtual preacher Justin to help him reconnect with his audience in a way that Justin was doing with his at that time. Adam proposed a change in focus in his videos away from his rapture debacle and slowly introduced to his audience the Torah and how the Bible confirms it. He and Justin even went to great lengths to expand the community beyond the virtual world. They went on baptisms on several occasions and even conducted marriage counseling. Although Justin, as he himself told, was in it for the community and the sense of belongingness it induces amongst Adam’s followers, he knew that Adam’s goal was not as selfless and noble as he once thought.
15.  As any con artist worth his (stolen) salt, Adam was just in it for himself. He was building a community for his advantage. As someone whose entire life career and source of income is rooted in shoving his beliefs on others’ throats, Adam knew that the more throats he could shove his faith into, the better his quality of life would be. Essentially, it’s making religion more of a money-making scheme rather than an actual community of people with similar beliefs. It’s a good business model, one that has endured the test of time but that only makes him a businessman more than a preacher of the Word.
16.  Adam as an Adulterer
17.  As his collaboration with Adam goes deep, Justin discovers more than just Adam’s moral corruption but also his sexual perversion. Over the course of their partnership, Adam had been casually mentioning the polygamous culture that the Torah allegedly encouraged among men in ancient times. He even revealed that in his local Torah group in Missouri, they had had families that were polygamists and had multiple wives. The nonchalant tone of the conversation made Justin think that Adam was just mentioning all of those in passing. That all of those are just men being men and that he was just fascinated and excited at the possibility of having multiple women as wives. He didn’t realize there was much more behind that “bro-talk.”
18.  Over the last several years, both during the time of their collaboration and afterwards, Justin has had four individual women who came to him who were part of the ministry and divulged that Adam had been saying something to them that was inappropriate, sexually suggestive, and frequently downright perverted. Two of these women had gotten way deeper into the Adam cesspool and had taken the bait of his perversion and began having serious romantic relationships with him through certain messaging and chatting applications. These women even had unsuspecting husbands while Adam had been flirting with their wives behind their backs. And such clandestine affairs had gotten deep to the point that these women had seriously considered leaving their husbands just because Adam had convinced them that their partners did not observe the Torah and would not be with them into the “millennial reign of the Kingdom.” Adam has basically told these women that they would be going husbandless into the Kingdom, so they have to sever their ties with their current partners and marry someone who embraces the Torah. This story is how Adam lures these women into relationships with him. He is essentially a predator. He weaponizes his beliefs and his faith on unassuming women who are definitely in a vulnerable state so that he can fulfill his carnal desires.
19.  Cases like these have been piling up ever since, so Justin’s wife felt there was a need to create a support group for the victims of Adam’s sexual perversion. In 2021, there was a prominent female Torah teacher who requested to join the said support group. She was a victim of Adam’s perversion too. She revealed that in April of 2021 when she confronted Adam about his affairs with other women, he merely gaslit her and deluded her into thinking that nothing was happening. Another woman in the support group disclosed that once, she was delivering weed to Adam’s house on time at his request and that after she arrived at his house and handed him the delivery, he told her that if he was not a married man at that time, they would be already inside his house doing other things together. It left the woman speechless and disgusted.
20.  Where Justin wanted the community to expand and grow and continue to teach the ways of the Torah and build something that would last, Adam had several other ideas, none of which involved nurturing a community of believers. Adam was caught having an emotional affair with someone who already had a husband. So, the whole ministry saw it fit to confront Adam about his issues and behaviors and advised him to take a small break from leadership and to teach the Torah and the community while he gets himself sorted out and gets his head back in the right headspace. They thought some fasting and praying, and introspection would get him into thinking about the ways he had gotten himself into this hole in the first place. The next day, Adam seemingly had let all the advice from one ear and out in the other, had completed ignored all the recommendations, and instead went on to Youtube and did a livestream. He acted like everything was normal, and when he was privately confronted by Justin, he argued that this [Youtube and the Ministry] is his primary source of income, and if he stopped, it’s going to cost him the rent next month.
21.  Ultimately, it’s up to us to put an end to the sexual perversion and the false prophesying of Adam Fink and help prevent others from being potential prey to his immorality. Social Media would not ban this man as his speech, outrageous it may become, is part of the protected speech. We know that there are so many others out there who have accounts of how Adam Fink has taken advantage of them but are afraid of coming out and speaking against the man in fear of persecution. We are here to cultivate a safe space to enter into and to speak out against him.
