Can we all get along? Or are we too far gone???? Seeing eye to eye on God's Word
Manage episode 416787481 series 3544526
When a simple piece of artwork I created sparked a firestorm of reactions, it became clear that the waters within the Christian community run deeper and more tumultuous than I ever imagined. This episode peels back the layers of division that have crept into the church, particularly visible in the Methodist denomination's struggle with the concept of sin. As followers of Christ, are we standing on the bedrock of Scripture, or are we shifting our beliefs to align with the ebb and flow of societal trends? It's a moment of reckoning, as I call upon my fellow believers to evaluate our adherence to the Word and to consider the impact that caving to secular pressures might have on our collective witness.
Navigating the rich tapestry of the Bible as a cohesive narrative reveals a divine message that has withstood the test of time, from Genesis to Revelation. Yet, many have fallen into the pitfall of treating this sacred text as a random selection of spiritual one-liners. This episode challenges that approach, advocating for a disciplined study and understanding of Scripture in its full historical context. Join me as I dissect the repercussions of cherry-picking verses and distorting God's unchanging message—because to alter the instructions of the Divine is to risk the very essence of our Christian testimony in an already fragmented world.
