For the most part the Believers in the Church today are a biblical mess! This would include church leaders as well the sheep sitting in the pews! The unbiblical garbage that’s being passed around as God’s Truths is staggering! Go in any Christian Bookstore these days and check out the titles of the so-called Christian books. (These books are where the beliefs of professing Believers are openly exposed for all to see.) And as you glance thru these books…you will find ‘Christian’ books which will ‘justify’ and ‘satisfy’ whatever it is a Believer wants to do! And these days, regardless of whatever unbiblical spiritual belief you may have...it doesn't take long to search online media sites and find people preaching the things which tickle your ear and please your heart!
Now, this posting (and the biblical info in my podcast series) isn’t Brother Bob expressing his mean-spirited, hard-ass opinions. The ‘ugly’ biblical condition of today’s Church IS an obvious fact…to those Believers who truly know their Scriptures. And do you know what? The biblically ignorant condition that the Church ‘finds’ itself in…IS right where Yeshua Christ said it would be in the End Times! Christ’s Apostles asked Him what will the End Times be like. To which Christ replied… Matthew 24:3-5 what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Yeshua answered and said to them, “See to it that no one misleads YOU. For MANY will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ AND WILL MISLEAD MANY. Yeshua Christ is literally PROPHETICALLY fore-telling the Believers (who will be around in the End Times) to be on your guard…see to it THAT YOU are NOT misled because there WILL BE (not might be or could be) BUT WILL BE MANY (not a few but many) false teachers in the End Times…and MANY (not a few but many) misled or deceived Believers in the Church. Christ’s warning above…see to it that YOU are NOT misled is clearly directed at Believers. Again, the YOU who Christ speaks about IS YOU Believers. UNBELIEVERS can’t be misled. They are already misled! UNBELIEVERS can’t fall away (from the faith) because they never ‘had’ the true faith (to fall away from) to begin with! Here are some more FALLING AWAY/FALSE TEACHERS warning verses from Yeshua Christ! Matthew 24:10-11 At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.
Brethren, you need to stop listening to the spiritual but unbiblical BS your church leaders are teaching you. You need to stop letting your feelings dictate what you think biblical Truth should be…and start accepting what the Scriptures literally say biblical Truth is! If you don’t do that…you’re going to ‘fall’ for the lies of the false teachers in the Church. (Again, IF you don't know your Scriptures very well...HOW will you ever know IF someone is teaching you biblical Truth...or deceiving you?
Again Christ’s words…For MANY (false teachers) will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ (or I know the Way) AND WILL MISLEAD MANY. P.S. There are two kinds of false teachers ‘active’ in the Church today. There are those false teachers who willfully and purposefully introduce unbiblical doctrines into the Church. (And if you don’t believe that can happen…then you are truly biblically ignorant...and very naïve!) The other kind of false teacher in the Church today is the Believer who is allowed to teach other Believers…even though he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Speaking the Truth in love,
Brother Bob
P.S. I glad to see and hear some well-known, biblically wise Christian leaders of the land finally starting to teach and preach (as I have been saying for 40 years) that the Bible says that the End Time Church will be an unbiblical mess!
