I have noticed a new version of the Christian faith growing in popularity these days. There are three main tenets to this new faith:
1 God loves you no matter what you are doing so whatever you are doing is OK because God loves you no matter what you are doing.
2 Whatever is hateful or offensive is to be rejected. So, away with words and concepts like Repent, Sin, Hell, Judgment – anything that hurts people’s feelings. Jesus loves you is our only message. Our authority is now the court of world opinion. Whatever they deem hateful or offensive is to be re-interpreted.
3 The only people who can be called wrong are those backward Christians who still read their Bible the old way. And, of course, the prophets, and apostles, and even Jesus when they speak in that unenlightened manner.
I’m not talking about old fashioned liberalism, they adopted this creed over a hundred years ago. I’m referring to a trend in evangelicalism. Self proclaimed Bible believing churches are changing the Gospel before our eyes.
