The New Jesus

Beware of the New Jesus

A new Jesus

is slipping into our churches.

___

The real Jesus doesn’t change.

His standards don’t change.

His commandments against sin don't change.

The New Jesus

Many people in the world (and some in the church) are promoting a Jesus who never lived on earth.

The new Jesus is a false Jesus. 

The new Jesus changes with the times.

The new Jesus has changed his opinion about certain sins.

The new Jesus is tolerant toward sin.

The new Jesus says:

“I love you, and you can live any

way you want and

still go to heaven.”

But the Bible says no.... For example - Acts 3:26

And

the

Words of the real Jesus

clearly show us that is not true. - Matt. 7:22

Acts 3:26 NLT says,

" When God raised up his servant, Jesus,

he sent him

first

to you people of Israel,

to bless you

by

turning each of you back from your sinful ways.”

Jesus clearly tells us in Matthew below

about the horrible future

of many people

that we know and love.

Jesus said:

Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,'

shall enter the kingdom of heaven,

but he who

does

the will of My father in heaven.

Many will say to Me in that day

'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name,

cast out demons in Your name,

and done many wonders in Your name?'

And then I will declare to them,

'I never knew you;

depart from Me you who practice lawlessness!"

Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV

Definition of

Lawless 

Not governed by  - or obedient to -  the rules and laws of God

Jesus said in verse 22:

"Depart from Me you who practice lawlessness."

Jesus is telling us:

Those who have accepted

Him as their Lord,

will not

practice lawlessness.

Jesus is telling us:

A person who loves God will sin sometimes

but that person is still dedicated

to being obedient to God.

A person

who loves God

will not practice lawlessness.

How do you know

if

you are Going to Heaven?

The little book of 1 John

near the end of the Bible

answers that question.

1 John 2:3-6 says -

3 And how

can we be sure that we belong to him?

By looking

within ourselves:

Are we really trying to do what he wants us to?

4 Someone may say,

“I am a Christian;

I am on my way to heaven;

I belong to Christ.”

But...

if he doesn’t do what Christ tells him to, he is a liar.

5 But those who do what Christ tells them

to will learn to love God more and more.

That is the way to know whether or not

you are a Christian.

6 Anyone who says he is a Christian

should live as Christ did.

The above verse,

is talking about a person who is

trying

to obey God.

The verse is  NOT  talking about the need to be

a perfect person.

~

Jesus said

in Matthew 14:23 says,

"If you love me, you will obey me."

Jesus is calling people to repent.

Jesus came to earth

to

call people

to

repentance

and Jesus came to be the offering for sin.

The new Jesus says:

“You  don’t  have to try to obey

the words in the Bible.”

The new Jesus says:

“I need to be your Savior,

but... you don’t have

to make me your Lord.”

~ ~ ~

The new Jesus says:

“Wide is the way to heaven.

Most people go to heaven.”

But

Jesus says

in Matthew 7:14:

Narrow is the way to heaven

and few find it.

2 Timothy 2:19 says...

“A person

who

calls himself a Christian

should not be doing things that are wrong.”

Tolerance

The new Jesus wants us to be

tolerant toward sin.

The new Jesus says

being tolerant toward sin is called love.

___

The REAL Jesus never taught tolerance,

instead he taught real love.

Real love speaks the truth of the Bible.

Real Love speaks the truth

  while always honoring the one we are talking to.

Love never makes a person

feel small and insignificant.

Jesus told us to TEACH the things he taught us.

We cannot do that

if we practice tolerance.

Jesus said,

"Therefore go and make disciples in all the nations,

baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit, and then

teach these new disciples

to obey all the commands

I have given you..."

Matthew 28:19-20 TLB 

Christians today are being lead astray

by

preaching

which winks at sin and worldliness.

"Winking at sin

leads to sorrow.

Bold reproof leads to peace."

Proverbs 10:10 TLB

"Do not love the world

or

the things in the world.

If anyone loves the world,

the love of the Father is not in him."
1 John 2:15

Video:
Which Jesus do you Serve?

The following video looks at the subject of this page

in a different way than I do.

The following video is complementary

(and I believe helpful)

to the full discussion of the topic of this page.

This video is about the differences between

The Historical Jesus and the Real Jesus

I have been contrasting the Real Jesus with the New Jesus.

So after listening to him, I'd say there are three Jesus'.

The video starts off with a bang.

Get ready!

The Historical Jesus vs. the Real Jesus

Disclaimer: I do not know this speaker,
but I agree with the above video

Sometimes to think about...

We must Follow the Real Jesus!

Many church leaders are becoming "enlightened"

and deciding to follow the new Jesus.

They are falling into the trap of the devil.

I have a seminary degree.

I've lived a long time.

I have only recently heard people preach and teach on the

New Jesus.

Beware

The Bereans

The Bible teaches us to be like the Bereans

in Acts 17:11.

Each of us need to imitate the Bereans.

The Bereans took everything Paul said

and checked it against the Old Testament scriptures.

And

We are to check with the Bible before
accepting what someone tells us.

We are to follow the Bible - not follow our beloved pastor or our friends or our family members.

~ ~ ~

We are to be the light that speaks the truth,
even if everyone else refuses to listen.

Noah and his family - eight people - got on the ark.

Theologians believe there was well over
a million people on the earth at that time.

We must live for Jesus and

get in the ark of the Lord

even if no one follows.

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus
shall suffer persecution."

2 Timothy 3:12 KJV

Beware

Beware of the New Jesus.

The real Jesus doesn’t change.

His standards don’t change.

Jesus won’t change to accommodate you.

Jesus won’t change to enable you to go to heaven.

One Final Thought:

The New Jesus takes the

beauty of purity

out of the Gospel.
