The Gospel is Limited to God’s Written Word

Perhaps that sounds like a strange statement.

But we live in an age when everyone seems to know what the gospel is. Or at least they say that they do.

Leading to interpretations of what the gospel is being scattered all over the map. With new interpretations popping up all the time. New heresies, old heresies, and a bunch of mutations on the new and old combined.

Along with new teachers telling us all about how to have gospel-centered ministries. And how to transform your church into a gospel-centered one.

With very few of these “gospel-centered” ideas actually being Bible centered – let alone Christ centered.

Because their view of the gospel is based on or influenced by many things not related to the Bible.

From all this ministry talk, one might think that the gospel must be a very fluid thing. Something customizable, like clay formed by a potter. Something that can be conformed to suit or appeal to the culture or the times in which people live.

Based upon the philosophical and religious biases of their professors and universities.

This presumption of intellectual and philosophical superiority accounts for much of biblical denial.

Kindergarten 101: Free Speech OR Hateful Actions

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the media has been spewing a lot of poison toward Charlie and Conservatives in general.

But if there can actually be any value in any of their responses, it’s that they now seem to be more open and honest about their hate. Their carefully camouflaged hypocrisy seems to be disappearing.

Which means that their basic message has become more transparent.

That message appears to be the following:

  • People think hateful thoughts.
  • Then they speak their hateful thoughts.
  • Those hateful thoughts are equivalent to violence.
  • Therefore, physical violence is justified in retaliation for those hateful spoken words.

That’s it in a nutshell. Nothing to see here really.

Except a major philosophical and moral leap across the chasm of reason.
