Bible Study Are You Hearing a Different Gospel

[for_his_glory]

Have you ever played that childhood game where someone whispers something in your ear and you pass it on to the next person beside you and by the time it gets to the last person in line it’s altogether different then what was originally said? This is the same way in many Churches as how the word of God is being taught. The word was spoken by God for what he has already said and by the time it reaches our ears we are hearing something totally different then what he spoke in the first place. Has this become the deception we now find in religion with each one teaching a different gospel then that of the original?

Many people love to dictate to you what you can and cannot do according to what they have been taught through mans doctrines and carnal interpretations and this only brings one into a deceptive bondage that can damage our very soul and cause us to fall away from God because we cannot meet the standards of the church to be that perfect person they say we need to be before we can even accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and not only before, but even after.

Many churches go as far as shutting the doors on those who do not meet their criteria as they deem certain people as unworthy of God and misfits of society that need to clean themselves up first before they can come to church as they would be a bad influence on the youth of the church. I would say let the youth of the church be a good influence on those who need Jesus in their lives as Jesus said to come as you are and he will change anything that needs changing beginning with the condition of our hearts.

Satan has such a foothold on religion by using those unaware to teach his twisted word as Satan knows this word better than we ever could. Those who lack the knowledge of truth will perish along with the deceptive word they teach. Our English language produces many different definitions for a singular word that has caused a misinterpretation from the teachings of the original manuscripts that were written by the Disciples of Christ. The carnal mind can not perceive the teachings of the Holy Spirit and if we are not allowing the Holy Spirit to teach us then we will fall prey to those deceptions and be devoured by the wicked one who seeks to destroy our faith.

God confounded the babble of language and separated the nations to make unto himself a nation that is worthy of His name. Nation can mean an actual land mass or a gathering together of those who are called by God all over the world. Be careful for what you learn as only the Holy Spirit can bring us into all truths as he uses those around us to teach us. Satan is very clever as he presents a gospel that is contradicting to the word of God as he deceives and confuses those who lack Spiritual knowledge.

Spot on!
When I started teaching at my congregation, I noticed right away that they missed the core meaning of many passages because somebody got a good idea off a passage and that idea became core.

Another idea came from the new core, and became core.

What I discovered was they were 3 or 4 layers out from the original intent. The biggest problem was their ideas were based on not being like "other" denominations.

 

[for_his_glory]

I like that you used the word core as that is where deceptions comes from through bondage of various religious doctrines.

Latin root word for religion is bondage, which is different then that of Gods pure religion of James 1:27, but that of following tradition and the doctrine of a mans church, not Gods true Church. The Latin root word is religare as re is a prefix that means return and ligare means to bind. Religion tells you what you can and cannot do and becomes socially acceptable by mans interpretations, traditions and doctrines. Religion is what nailed Christ to the cross because the Bible is not socially acceptable to society, if it were then Christ would have died in vain. God is not about mans religion, nor does he recognize organized religion. God is about a personal relationship with you and His son Jesus Christ.

 

[stovebolts]

Amen!
And thanks for the lesson in Latin! Well done!

Here is the Gospel, the Lord Jesus Christ preached -


From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17



The Apostles He sent out -


So they went out and preached that people should repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them. Luke 6:12-13



Paul -

But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
“Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance. Acts 26:16-20


Repent is the most beautiful word in the Bible, for it is God calling wretched, poor, blind and miserable people who are helplessly in bondage to Satan, to Himself, in order to make them His own children, and give them an inheritance in His kingdom.

nahhhh GRACE is with repent repent we turn from Grace God riches at Christ expense .. grace is given repent we do .but both go together

 

[for_his_glory]

The Gospel is the good news of God's mercy and grace given to all who will accept it. Christ is that free gift of God's grace and our faith and hope is in Him. All we have to do is believe and repent of our sins and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. From that point on we start to build that personal relationship with Him.

If it wasn't for God's grace there would be no need of repentance as it repented God that He even created man because their hearts became evil in His sight. But the good news is that God did find favor in one man who was faithful to God, Genesis 6:6-8.

You might say Noah was the first preacher God sent out into the world. Noah taught repentance by God's grace as he warned others to repent and enter the ark before the flood would come. They rejected his words and even mocked him, but Noah and his family entered that ark and the flood came and carried all those people away in certain death.

Christ is our ark by the grace of God that gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life, John 3:16.

Now is the time of repentance as in the days of Noah so shall be the coming of the Lord, Matthew 24:36-39.

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
