GOSPEL QUARTET MIX 2 - VARIOUS His Way or the Highway In these very last days, while we see the cata- strophic signs of the times increasing off of the scale, mainstream Christianity will be drifting into the darkness, as the original gospel message begins to fade to the point of no return. The Word teaches, that just before our Lord comes, many church going "Christians" will be accepting some other Jesus that will be offering some other WAY, some other TRUTH, and some other LIFE. Because so many church-goers have not yet left the idolatry of this world, like Jesus commands them to, their salvation will be based on feelings, emotions, competition, image, wealth, and a temporary relief of guilt instead of a true born again relationship with Jesus Christ. The late Donald C. Stamps, author of the Life in the Spirit Study Bible, formerly, Full Life Study Bible, spent most of his later life writing the study notes in hopes of reaching out to this last days gen- eration of end time believers. He writes in Matthew 7:16, BY THEIR FRUIT YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THEM. "The fruit of false teachers will be unwhole- some characteristics evident in the lives of their followers such as those listed below. They will be professing Christians whose loyalty is more to per- sonalities than to the Word of God. They worship the creature more than the creator. They will be more concerned with their own desires than with God's glory and honor. Their doctrine will be self-centered rather than God-centered. They will accept human teachings and traditions even when those teach- ings contradict the Word of God. They will seek and respond to religious experiences and supernatural manifestations as their final authority in validat- ing truth, rather than grounding themselves in the whole council of God's Word. They will NOT put up with sound doctrine but will seek teachers who offer salvation with the broad road of unrighteousness" (Study notes-Full Life Study Bible). In 2 Corinthians, 11:1-15, Donald continues to explain even more about how to recognize those who are preaching this other Jesus. "The supposed new rev- elation is put on the same level of authority as the original apos- tolic Biblical revelation in Christ. Scripture becomes less important and Christ takes second place to "saints"or to founders of move- ments or churches." The apostle Paul was not holding back when it came to dealing with those who were changing the grace of Christ into some other Gospel. Paul writes, "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:1-15). How many are out there today, preaching in the name of Jesus, yet are offering some other WAY to the Father? "I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other WAY, is a thief and a robber"(John 10:1). Christians have been persecuted all around the world for the past 2000 years because they believe, according to scripture, that Jesus is the ONLY WAY to the Father. Are modern day Christians prepared to lose everything to defend the TRUTH?! To the best of my knowledge, and according to current articles, "it appears" that many well known pastors who have made millions, all in the Name of Jesus, are teach- ing that all roads lead to God, indicating that Jesus is NOT the only WAY to the Father. "To think that Jesus is the only WAY to the Father is insanity." Several others are also jumping on board with the one world ecumenical movement, even claiming that the Muslim faith believes in the same God that Christians believe in, even though their beliefs are light years apart. "I AM the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. No one goes to the Father except through Me"(John 14:1- 7). Are these modern day mega preachers still preaching the origi- nal gospel? "Its only by this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you, otherwise you have believed in vain" (1Corinth 15:1-2). What about the TRUTH (John 14:1-7). Jesus, through His early New Testament apostles, clearly explains that if one is truly saved, they will be preaching the TRUTH of God's Word. We for sure know that true Christians are saved by the grace of God! However, the early New Testament church's started to stretch that grace way to thin.Thats why when Jesus wrote the letters to the 7 churches in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, He does not mention the word grace, not one time. Yet he mentions the word Repent 7 times. They were obviously ignoring the commands and teachings of Jesus and His early NT apostles.1 Corinthians 13:6-7 teaches, "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the TRUTH. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." Truth protects the flock that has been entrusted to you. Truth earns the trust of your congregation. Changing that TRUTH for the sake if dishonest gain eventually leads to death and destruction. Pastors are to protect their congregation from false teach- ing that could cause them to stumble. For example, many church goers within hundreds of congregations have been exposed and influenced by the "Purpose Driven Life." Knowing the path that the writer is now moving closer to, "all roads and religions lead to God," should pastors be cautioning their congrega- By Michael Forti END TIMES Michael Forti To the best of my knowledge, and according to current articles, "it appears" that many well known pastors who have made millions, all in the Name of Jesus, are teaching that all roads lead to God, indicating that Jesus is NOT the only WAY to the Father.
