BibleL7 -> RE: Another victim of the modern gospel (5/24/2008 6:42:05 PM)

Not a modern Gospel at all is old as the Church was addressed by Paul. Is simple that the full Gospel is not preached anymore in churches they want to be liberal. It matters not why or where the interview took place at all. If anyone listened to her she said the Bible is just a book written by men. Most of the liberal church does not believe that the Bible is the WORD OF GOD less than 50% of supposed pastors do not claim the Bible to be the Word of God. This is what has been a problem in the church for a long time preachers will take the part of the Bible they like and preach it and leave out the Truth. They look at the story of the woman caught in the act of adultery and say see Jesus forgave her and did not condemn her yet they leave off the last part of it where Jesus told her to "Go and SIN NO MORE". That is why the Roman Catholic Church chose a pope to decide the rules and kept Scripture from the people. Why JWs had to change the wording and say that their leaders know the rules and they can change them. Why the Mormons say their leader can change rules of their church and they dont have to follow their books. Why the Pharisees had their rules and did not follow Scripture. Everybody want to hear Jesus paid the price for our sins but none want to hear 'Take up thy cross and follow me.' Many will even say this means that they are to take up a burden NO taking up ones cross meant go to die. The only reason anyone in that time would take up a cross was they were going to be put to death. As we are told to put ourselves to death to have life in Jesus.
People forget that God said My word and the law will will by no means pass away. Oh the preachers want to say we are under grace not the law. But forget we are to repent which means to turn from sin. They want to say they were born again because they had an emotional experience yet they never change their lives. They want to hear about forgiveness and love but not about Judgement and repentance. And you liberals can quote all the verses you wish but if you leave out context and the rest of the Bible why bother. So she said Jesus is her Savior but she denied His teachings and Word. As Jesus said many will come to me on that day and say Lord Lord and He will say depart from me you lawless ones (practicers of iniquities) I never knew you. Yes it is about a relationship but people want to leave out it being a RIGHT relationship.
You will find it a lot in all the threads in this forum especially the one about should a child of an elder be believer. Everyone wants to ignore or redefine the Bible to fit them. So they can sin all they want or just this one sin God wont mind He paid for it. It is not by mistake that the most quoted verse of the Bible is Judge not lest ye be judged. Yet that is only said when their sin comes to light. The want to say that God is love but ignore the factor that the word for God means JUDGES if you dont want to believe me look it up in Strong's some time and see if Elohim is not the same word used for gods and judges. They want to quote Paul saying we are not under the law but forget that he told the Corinthian church to kick out the sinner in their midst and deliver him to Satan that he might be saved. Or that Paul thought it a joy to be counted worthy to partake in the Lords sufferings. Just as those who were following Jesus that turned away when He said any man that does not eat my flesh and drink my blood can not be my disciple. To be a disciple is to follow all the teachings of ones master or teacher. The dont want to hear that I am the LORD I change not. No they want to live lives of comfort and warm and fuzzy love not sacrificial love we are called to. One of the reasons people really dont like the Book of James, they dont want to learn that following Christ means giving up worldly things. Nobody wants to be separate from the world as we are called to be. As I have said before many times either you believe the Bible is the Word of God or you dont if you do then you need to follow all of it not just the parts you like. Makes some wonder if there really is a church anymore but been replaced with country clubs that call themselves churches. Jesus said 'I am the Way, Truth and Life' some like the Way part and Life part but want to leave out the TRUTH part. Think many need to read the second and third chapters of Revelation of what Jesus said to the churches, Particularly the last one. For many in these last days think they are rich and in need of nothing yet do not realize they are wretched blind and poor. They want to say that women and gays can be pastors and think its OK cause the Bible was then this is now. God said not one jot or title of the law would pass away. People want God to be who they want Him to be not the God of the Bible Who created this universe and all that is in it and is Just Righteous and Holy no they want the friend not the Lord and Master. Some of you may want to praise her for saying Jesus is her Savior but then if He is not Lord and Savior then perhaps He is not Savior either. Yeah lets just forget the Lord part of it. It does not seem from her comments that she believes in the same Jesus that the Bible teaches about. Yet she thinks she is saved that is sad. She doesn't want the Bible or Truth because she wants her sin. Jesus said you cant serve two masters, He was not limiting it to money. She said she was having premarital sex so she would not want to believe the following verses.
1Co 6:9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
1Co 6:10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
It is rather clearly put that if you are 'saved' then there will be a change. If we are saved from sin how can we go right back into it. No not a modern gospel but a false one an incomplete one If you dont like what Paul said on it read Peter and John.
Would you pull a person out of the water who was drowning then throw them right back into deeper waters? No you would take them away from the water. Just as if Jesus saves you from sin He will not lead you right back into it. Many attend churches all the time and have great ministries and fellowships and triving childrens ministries but if they are not following Jesus' commandments then they are not His.
