We live in a day and age where Christians seemed absolutely unable to tell the difference between heretical teachings, false cults and what true Biblical Christianity is all about. People will tell you that it is "unloving and judgmental" to point out the errors with groups like Mormons, Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists and Charismatics. But elements does the Bible say comprises Biblical Christianity, and what warnings did the apostles Paul and John leave for us in these last days? On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we hold up the mainstream members of what are commonly referred to as Christianity, and see how each of the stack up against the clear, doctrinal teachings of the Holy Bible.
"I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry." 1 Timothy 4:1-5 (KJV) |
