The inhabitants of this earth are consumed with entertainment, sports, socializing, money, and many other things that has ultimately turned them away from serving the only true living God. The reason is that the Jesus depicted today is a blasphemous disgrace and a false portrayal of the Jesus from the Holy Scriptures. "Pastors" are bringing in thousands and millions of dollars by utilizing the Name of Jesus in a perverse way through preaching a false worldly and lukewarm message that doesn't lead anyone to repentance, or teaches the truth of the Bible. This has lead to individuals taking advantage of the grace of Jesus Christ and allowed for many to trample on the blood of Jesus by not surrendering to him completely. Majority of the people who live on this earth, even many professing "Christians" no longer fear nor respect the God that allows them to have breath in their very lungs. The false belief that God won't send individuals to an eternal hell because he's all "love" is a lie that started in hell, and will bring anyone to hell that even believes that lie.
The lukewarm and worldly gospel that's being preached all throughout the pulpits of America that do NOT preach the true biblical way of salvation, repentance, and holiness are devices of Satan. These preachers perverted the gospel of Jesus Christ by preaching on how to start a business, relationship advice, and a hyper-grace message that's non-biblical and makes a mockery out of the Lord Jesus Christ. These false preachers use the Name of Jesus to coddle the sins of the wicked and allows for sinners to not forsake the love of this world to follow Christ because they teach that "As long as you believe in Jesus you are saved," which is a lie from hell. The Bible says in James 2:19 that even the demons believe in one God and tremble. This lie has deceived many into believing they have eternal life and that they can sin and live a worldly life because of how weak and lukewarm these pastors are who refuse to preach the truth about the gospel.
The necessity of maintaining the integrity and truth of the gospel needs to be placed back in today's churches. Churches are no longer focused on preaching sound biblical doctrine but rather they have departed from the faith that the Apostles taught by teaching lies. Churches may claim they have a congregation full of "saved" believers on their way to heaven, but in reality they are lying because majority of these churches no longer believe in preaching the saving gospel of being Born-Again and obeying the gospel.
In John 5:39 Jesus said "Search the scriptures; for in them you think you have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." Many are no longer searching the scriptures to see if they're truly saved and ready to meet the Lord, but rather they listen to what their pastor says. The gospel of Jesus Christ in which the Apostles lost their lives for has become worthless and meaningless to individuals in today's modern world. A lot of Christians believe that as long as they've repeated a "Sinners Prayer" and "accepted Jesus into their heart" they'll be ready to meet Jesus; and that's a false teaching that's not even in the Bible! Due to the truth of the gospel rarely being preached, it's becoming difficult to explain to lost souls the truth. The reason is because the unpopular truth of the gospel is that one MUST be Born-Again; and that's baptism in the Name of Jesus (Born of Water) and the infilling of the Holy Ghost (Born of spirit) according to Acts 2:38 and John 3:5; And that's rarely being preached throughout the pulpits in America. So when an individuals hear that they MUST be Born-Again, it's like a foreign language to them.
Without a doubt, today's modern generation is the most godless, immoral, stubborn, God-hating, and rebellious generation known to man, and that's because they've turned their backs on God and became lovers of themselves. Though they may be living their "best life now," they will still have to answer to God for all of their deeds. Christians have become so comfortable that they'll party on Saturday and go to church on Sunday while there's Christians being killed in China over the faith. Many take advantage of God because false-teachers portray God as being "All-Grace" and being some type of soft God that has no type of wrath. The devastating aspect of this whole issue is that Instead of the church trying to have an impact on the world they are becoming more like the world by perverting the gospel and allowing their churches to become immoral and worldly.
The truth of the gospel has honestly been perverted for centuries and when pastors are reprimanded by others and told the truth of the gospel they are stubborn and hard headed. Pastors still keep the doctrines of the Catholic Church such as the trinity, and many other Pagan beliefs such as Easter and Christmas that honestly has nothing to do with Jesus Christ but were formed from the Pagan rituals of the early Catholic church. History can even vouch that Constantine and the counsel of Nicaea of 325 AD perverted the gospel of Jesus Christ, and utilized their previous Pagan rituals into their religion of Christianity. Though the world and the church has turned away from God and are creating their own doctrines and philosophies, many forget that they have a date and an appointment to stand before God in which they will have give an account for everything they've ever done in their mortal bodies. No matter how much money, women, or possessions someone may have had, all that stuff will NOT matter when they stand before God!
The most saddening part about this whole issue is that rarely anyone is vouching for Jesus anymore. Preachers have turned their backs on God and no longer care about God but rather sell a fake gospel that is not the truth. If an individual was never been baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ and received the Holy Spirit they're a sinner, and no so called "pastor" has any reason to lie to them and say that they're saved and on their way to heaven if they didn't follow what the Bible said to do to be saved. Pastors of false churches who used to stand firm in the doctrines of Jesus Christ have began to preach lies and false doctrines that bring in more money than actual saved souls. They no longer preach on modesty, holiness, and salvation but preach on sports and things that have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. But even if these pastors turn from the truth, we must still stand for the truth even if we have to do it alone.
Especially in today's 21st century, it's becoming harder to stand for Christ because of the laws that are being passed that are causing persecution on Christians such as Abortion laws and LGBT laws that place hate on Christians; but we MUST stand firm for God regardless if the world hates us. Jesus said in John 15:18 "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you." With Preachers today now supporting homosexuality, fornication, and many other sins it is clear to see why individuals may feel they don't need to repent and turn from their ways instead of remaining the same. The reason why Christians are becoming accepting of these types of immoral behaviors is because they've been following the traditions of men into believing doctrine and sin no longer matter because Jesus loves all. Colossians 2:8 states "See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ."
However, though this article may be very direct, the Bible supports my claims on how no matter if people may state that "times changed," we must still stay in the doctrines of Jesus Christ. For instance, 1 John 2:4 says "Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him." This was basically saying that if we keep his commandments we know him but if we don't keep his commandment how can we say we know him, we must be obedient to every word stated in that Bible that was commanded for us to do? And In 1 Timothy 6 3-6 it states "If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions, But godliness with contentment is great gain."
