An unrealistic view of tolerance.
While there are several factors at play, I would like to concentrate on the primary catalyst behind the fragmentation of Christianity.
When we no longer base our foundations on the word of God, we make the mistake of adapting to anything that simply feels good. This can ultimately lead to our downfall. When a child of God starts depending on their own understanding, they can easily be misled. According to the word of God, we should be guided by truth and not the opinions of man. All the concepts mentioned above are man-made and can lead to great deception for Christians today.
As believers, we should rely solely on the word of God for guidance. It is not appropriate to seek guidance from other sources.
In his time, Paul dealt with similar issues concerning the churches. He expressed his concern about those who preached or taught a different gospel than the one he had taught them. Paul was saddened to see how easily people could be swayed by teachings that sounded or felt good. However, he firmly stated that these teachings were the doctrines of demons, and we should never accept such false teachings. As the apostle of the Most High God, these are Paul's words on the matter.
2 Corinthians 11
11 I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me! 2 For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 4 For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one, we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. 5 Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles. 6 Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things. 7 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel to you free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you. 9 And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. So, I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia. 11 And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do! 12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one, we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
It is evident that we have encountered these erroneous teachings before. Deviating from scripture is considered evil and hazardous, and we must avoid following such practices.
It's always a mistake to rely solely on human understanding. Often, new concepts are not actually new, but rather have been around for decades. While these ideas may all fall under the same category, people tend to give them different labels to create the illusion of a larger problem.
Let's simplify this concept for better understanding. The ultimate truth is embodied in the form of Jesus Christ, and there is no truth beyond Him. Jesus has made it crystal clear that no one can approach the Father except through Him. This is a straightforward idea, and it's easy to grasp. By comprehending Christ Jesus, one can attain eternal life with the Father, which is the greatest gift of all.
It is understood that the only path to the Father is through his son, who acts as the door. Through this door, we can gain a better understanding of certain issues. The issue lies in the fact that humans often fail to acknowledge their sinful nature and the need for death. Until this realization is made, progress in Christ cannot be achieved. However, it is important to note that God desires life and prosperity for all, rather than death.
Deuteronomy 30:19
19I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice, and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days,
In today's blog, I want to emphasize the importance of prioritizing life and truth over death and lies, which is clearly what God desires. It's crucial to reject any theories that spread falsehoods and lead to destruction. Instead, let's all embrace the truth and choose life.
I find it hard to understand how some followers of Christ view controversial theories as necessary for understanding scripture. While these theories may seem relevant to modern-day issues, it's important to recognize that God's teachings are unchanging and constant. His principles and ways have always remained consistent from the past to the present and will continue to remain so in the future.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
So that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
It is clear here that His call to life is irreversible if you have truly received His salvation, it means if you have come to a relationship with the Lord oh might then your call is sealed. Look its simple we are in a battle for our salvation because of these above C.T.
These theories are completely opposite to scripture, but we see more and more Christians latching on to them as if they will be what save mankind. Well, I am here to show that this is the furthest thing from the truth a person can get. Consequently, these theories speak in group form and of equity verses equality God never speak in the form of groups, He speaks to all of us individually and never in contents of groups. However, this is what these theories do they put you in categories by your group. Some of the groups are as followed:
1. LGBTQ
2. African American
3. Transgender
4. Woman
5. Black woman
6. Bi-sexual
7. Asian
8. Black men
It's possible that there are additional categories, but the basic principle is that the more categories you belong to, the more oppressed you are by those who oppress. It's often suggested that only white people are oppressors, but that's not accurate. It's important to recognize that the theories we're dealing with here are influenced by deceitful forces and can't be fully trusted.
One of the key things is that Christians are called one of the oppressors of these categories and they won’t tell you this because they want all Christians gone from the face of the earth who does that sound like to you guys.
I spoke earlier on this blog that Paul’s reaction to this was that he was grieved that they took to a gospel other than the one that was presented to them when he was there with them. Here in 1Timothy is what I believe would say about this belief or the adapting of the belief. This will explain where we are as believer today when something like this can divide the people of God this is truly sad.
1 Timothy 4:1-2
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
So I will end with this verse.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
As always God bless all who pass thru this blog site, i hope the word in these blogs will open eyes to investigate this thru scripture. God’s peace and blessings to all.
