One indivisible word

2/14/2017

One Indivisible Word by by Dr. Paul R. Thorsell

The following is from Answers in Genesis:

A seismic shift rocked Christianity in the eighteenth century. The idea grew that the Bible speaks authoritatively about morality and religion, but not history and science. Is that viable, based on Scripture?

“This author knows that the inner kernel of Christian faith is completely independent of his own critical investigations. Christ’s supernatural birth, miracles, resurrection and ascension remain eternal truths even as their reality as historical facts may be challenged.”

With these words the nineteenth-century critic David Strauss clearly spelled out a novel approach to the truth of the Bible. Under the influence of an anti-supernatural worldview, Strauss concluded that the Bible could have religious and moral worth even while being factually incorrect. Many people today share this view of biblical truth, but that should not blind us to this view’s recent origin.

For 17 centuries Christians, East and West, Catholic and Protestant, agreed that the Bible was the very voice of God and therefore completely true. There have always been skeptics, but with few exceptions, such skepticism came from outside the Christian church—at least, until the eighteenth century.

What happened? What prompted so many Christian teachers and leaders to abandon belief in the complete truthfulness of the Bible? In short, the eighteenth century witnessed a tremendous shift of worldview in the Western intellectual tradition.

Professing Christian VP Mike Pence Comes Out in Support of Homosexual/ Transgender Protections

2/13/2017

STEPHANOPOULOS: President Trump decided this week to let stand President Obama's executive order on LGBT rights. And it prompted this question from a prominent social conservative, Bob Vander Plaats.

He said, "Our base is wondering why Obama's executive order is allowed to stand."

What's the answer?

PENCE: I think throughout the campaign, President Trump made it clear that discrimination would have no place in our administration. I mean, he was the very first Republican nominee to mention the LGBTQ community at our Republican National Convention and was applauded for it. And I was there applauding with him.

I think the generosity of his spirit, recognizing that in the patriot's heart, there's no room for prejudice is part of who this president is.

"This Week with George Stephanopoulos," 2-5-17: VP Mike Pence

My comments:
How can a professing Christian applaud that which God condemns? How can a professing Christian who knows the truth about God's design for sexuality applaud an order that affirms homosexuals/ transgenders in their false identity, confusion and opposition to God's design? How can a professing Christian applaud an order that affirms homosexuals/ transgenders in their sinful lifestyle knowing that it may lead to depression, disease and early physical death and ultimately spiritual death in the Lake of Fire forever? He must really hate LGBT people because the most loving thing would be to tell them the truth and not affirm them in their fantasy world. Not only that, as I understand it, this order unfairly discriminates against Christians of which VP Pence claims to be one. Where is his love for the brethren? I don't know how his conscience can be right with God all the while affirming that which God considers an abomination and also persecuting his brothers and sisters in Christ by discriminating against them via his support of so-called LGBT "protections". I pray that VP Pence repents!

The Bible is very clear that not only is the one who practices such sins (homosexuality) worthy of Hell, but also the one who approves of those who practice such sins.

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men . . .For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature (lesbianism). Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burning in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful (homosexuality) . . .that those who practice these things are worthy of death (Hell), and not only those who do the same but also those who approve of those who practice them!" (Romans 1:18, 26, 27, 32)

VP Pence Endorses LGBTQ: Obama’s Executive Order 13672 - Generations Radio. When President Trump endorsed Obama’s aggressive homosexual agenda in Executive Order 13672, Vice President Pence doubled down. He’s applauding the President’s pro-homosexual positions. No surprise there. We get to the root problems again, as we take a close look at the Trump’s Supreme Court Nominee’s church in Boulder, Colorado. The real problem is not the court. It’s the church.

Whatever Happened to the Fear of the Lord?

Whatever Happened to the Fear of the Lord? - Berean Research

“How would you react if you were suddenly face-to-face with God?” inquires Bible expositor John MacArthur in a blog post he penned over at Grace to You. When Isaiah saw a vision of God he fell prostrate before Him and cried, “Woe is me! For I am undone.” Isaiah felt his guilt and shame in the presence of a holy God. MacArthur reminds us that “We ought to be shaken to our roots when we see ourselves against the backdrop of God’s holiness. If we are not deeply pained about our sin, we do not understand God’s holiness at all.”

Max Lucado’s Heresies and Ecumenical Confusion

2/11/2017

Max Lucado’s Heresies and Ecumenical Confusion by David Cloud, Way of Life Literature, (fbns@wayoflife.org)

Max Lucado is one of the most prominent and influential evangelical leaders on the scene today. His positive-oriented books and sermons are sold in most Christian bookstores, including the Southern Baptist LifeWay stores. He is a popular speaker at a wide range of conferences, including Promise Keepers, National Religious Broadcasters, and National Association of Evangelicals.

BAPTISM NECESSARY FOR SALVATION

Lucado is pastor of the Oak Hills Church of Christ in San Antonio, Texas. In June 1997, I talked with Lucado on the phone as well as with Elder Doyle Jennings of the Oak Hills Church. Both stated that they believe that baptism is necessary for salvation, but they do not believe in “baptismal regeneration.”

Thus we see that they have added baptism to the grace of Christ for salvation. This is standard Church of Christ error, and it is a very serious matter for it constitutes a false gospel.

Lucado has never renounced Church of Christ heresy and has maintained a close relationship with Pepperdine University and Abeline Christian University, both staunch Church of Christ institutions. A Pepperdine spokesman told Dennis Costella, editor of Foundation magazine, that Lucado has been featured seven times at Pepperdine lectureships (Foundation, March-April 2000). Costella was in a unique position to judge these things because he grew up in the Church of Christ and graduated from Pepperdine before repenting of Church of Christ heresies.

TIL TV - The Trojan Horse of Muslim Immigration (Program #1) - Sharam Hadian

Usama Dakdok was born in Egypt and raised in a Christian home as the son of a Baptist pastor. He became a Christian at the age of eleven. Usama learned about Islam in school because it was, and still is, a mandatory subject. To further his knowledge of Islam, he studied Islamic law in college. Usama came to the United States in 1992 after his marriage to Vicki, an American whom he met in Germany, where they were both in a full-time ministry. Usama holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology and a Master’s Degree in Missions from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Usama is now working to warn American Christians about the dangers of Islam and the rise of Sharia law in America. Usama worked for four years to translate the Koran into perfect English. The twenty-one English copies of the Koran that are now available have been white-washed. Usama's perfect English translation reveals the accurate and dangerous worldview of Islam.

God gave us nations and borders
The role of the individual is different from the role of government. It is the individual's responsibility to love his/her neighbor. It is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens and sometimes that means strict guidelines for who is allowed to come into this country. A religious test is not off limits (it's completely legal). It may in fact be a good standard to have in place when determining who gets to come in and who doesn't.

What are the responsibilities of the civil magistrate when it comes to immigration? And what's the worldview that controls the INS after eight years of President Obama? And what's the worldview of Tim Keller and Ann Voskamp?
