19 Biblical Absolutes, Fundamentals and Truths

 

While doctrine is vitally important it is not a strong enough foundation to bear the weight of His glory that is about to be revealed through true unity. There are major changes in the “wind” right now. For the last several years people have started to gather around fathers instead of doctrine.

Senior Pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, California

 

No Doctrine is the New Doctrine

Sadly, this kind of silver-tongued devil talk, this doctrine of demons, is now normal. The “anything goes” move away from the fundamental doctrines of the Church is the narrative spreading like wild fire in the body of Christ. No longer do we (the Church) have to evangelize an ungodly world. Today believers have to explain to people inside the Church why homosexuality is an abomination to God, why women are not permitted by God to Pastor or Shepard a congregation, or why same-sex marriage is ungodly, and how it is God that established the institution of marriage.

Across the board mainstream denominations are moving toward a “social gospel” and away from sound doctrine. But isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul said would happen:

‘Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. ‘

I Timothy 4:1-3

False teachers don’t show up dressed in black come before the congregation and say “Hi I’m a messenger from Satan and I’m your new Pastor”. No, he will have the right credentials, he will know the right text, speak eloquently and use 80% truth, to get that 20% of false teaching in. Just enough to take the congregation down.

13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.…

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Those rock solid fundamentals, absolutes and sound doctrine sound really good in this dark and very cold world. What a comfort to know that our Lord Jesus Christ (The Word) will never change, He will always be faithful, Holy and Just.

‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. ‘
