The Christian theology of today is a mixture of truth and error, fact and fiction.

The foundation of Christian theology is the atoning death and triumphant bodily resurrection of the Son of God and Son of Man, the Lord Jesus Christ.

On this sure foundation has been erected a structure composed of both truth and error.

There are several errors mixed together with the truth of the Divine program of salvation. We shall limit ourselves to the four that may be the most destructive of the Kingdom of God:

God sees Christ and not us.

The commandments of the Lord Jesus in the Gospels do not apply to Christians.

The warnings of the Apostle Paul do not apply to Christians.

The believer at the Judgment Seat of Christ will not receive the evil he has done.

It may be noted that the four errors have the same result: they suggest to the Christian that godly living is not an essential, critical aspect of salvation. This is a very harmful suggestion given the demonic oppression of the day in which we live. The truth is, godly living is the only sure sign of salvation. In fact a godly character and life are the intended product of the Divine redemption.

Since God's purpose under all covenants is to produce people who live righteously, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, the four prominent doctrines listed above are seen to be destructive of God's intention and will.

The four deceptions are preached and taught day after day in churches, seminaries, and Christian schools—wherever there are Christian people. Yet the four not only are not supported by the Scriptures, they are contrary to what is expressly taught in the Scriptures.

When the Scriptures are placed against these four ideas, the ideas vanish like dew before the rising of the sun.

It is not scriptural that God sees Christ and not our personality and behavior.

It is not scriptural that the Words of the Lord Jesus recorded in the Gospel accounts do not apply to the believers.

It is not scriptural that the warnings found in the Epistles do not apply to Christians.

It is not scriptural that the believers at the Judgment Seat of Christ will not receive the evil they have practiced while in the world.

The Christian churches have lost their lampstand, the Divine testimony, because of the four errors. The Lord is coming to His churches in the present hour and is fighting against us with the sword of His mouth—with the Word of God! If we do not repent we may suffer much chastisement.

Because the Christian churches have lost their testimony the secular governments are staggering about in moral filth, having minds void of judgment, not understanding God, humanity, or the proper use of the environment and natural resources.

The duty of secular government is to regard sin (as defined by the Scriptures) as crime and to punish the offenders. Numerous governments of our day are not defining sin as crime nor are they punishing the offenders. Therefore they shall be removed by the Lord in the near future.

To be continued.
