Title: There is no other gospel
content br>
“I marvel that you are so quickly departing from him who called you by the grace of Christ to a different gospel, which is no other gospel, except that some are disturbing you and trying to change the gospel of Christ. But if we, or even an angel from heaven, Cursed is he if he preaches any gospel other than the one we preached to you. As we have said before, I say again now, if anyone preaches any other gospel than what you have received, let him be accursed. Do I seek the joy of men or do I seek the joy of men, then I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:6-10).
“But the Holy Spirit plainly says that in the latter days some will turn from the faith and turn to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons; these are liars with hypocrisy, whose conscience has been scorched” (1 Timothy 4:1-2).
I believe that the age in which we are now living is the age in which Satan deceives. Satan, who has already started deception in the Garden of Eden, has deceived people's souls without exception in any age, but in this age, we can see that Satan's deception is more blatantly, more elaborate, and more intense than at any other time in human history. Satan's great deception attempts to alter the “gospel” to drive out the right gospel, disguise the “other gospel, counterfeit gospel, pseudo-gospel, and false gospel” as the true gospel and inject it into people’s hearts. It is stealing souls.
We must clearly know the identity of “other gospels, counterfeit gospels, pseudo-gospels, false gospels” that are not the gospel but pretend to be the gospel. We must protect our precious souls by destroying Satan's schemes. There is nothing more precious than protecting one's own soul with the gospel and protecting the souls of others.
First, let's take a look at the 'other gospels' that are strongly active in our time: the counterfeit gospel, the pseudo gospel, and the false gospel.
The first of the other gospels is the claims (doctrine) of the pagans.
Paganism is a group or form of religion that is claimed to be a religion other than pure Christianity, which is idolatry.
Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Lamaism, Confucianism, and other indigenous religions (shamans, shamanism), astrology groups, fortune-telling groups, various yoga groups, and groups that are not religions but have religious colors in reality: evolutionists groups, materialists Groups, atheist groups, hedonistic groups, UFO cults, New Age groups, etc.
These innumerable pagan groups have their own creeds, teachings, philosophies, or doctrines of their own, childish or plausible, and teach and preach them, but all these claims are 'other gospels', or false gospels. .
This is because their claims (doctrine) are powerless for the forgiveness of sins, salvation, and eternal life, regardless of the shape and color of clothing they claim. Their claims (doctrine) do not solve these problems, but rather complicate them, and they think they are the true gospel, resulting in those who believe in them not believing in the true gospel.
In the end, they pretended to be the gospel even though their claim was not the gospel, so they deceive the hearts and souls of those who believe in it.
The second of the other gospels is heretical claims (doctrine).
Heresy is different from heresy. A cult is a group that can be viewed as another religion that has absolutely nothing to do with the Bible, but a cult is a group that uses the Bible to proclaim Christianity and deceives the soul by saying false claims, teachings, or doctrines that are different from the Bible. If you look at the Bible and the history of Christianity, innumerable heresies have appeared, disappeared, disappeared and reappeared.
Of course, the root of heresy is Satan. With Satan as the central axis, Cain, Lamech, Nimrod, Achan, Balaam, Judas Iscariot, Nicolaus, false brothers, false prophets, false teachers, Jewish legalists, etc. These were all heretics in the Bible.
Meanwhile, even after the Apostolic Age, several heretical groups appeared and deceived people with their “other gospels”. They are the Ebionists, the hypotheticalists, the Carinthians, the Montanists, the Arians, the Pelgians, and the Nestorians. The modern age is the golden age of heresy (?), so countless heretics have appeared and are active. Heresy by star is active and active in swarms.
The most probable heresy, including Catholicism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Unification Church, Jeonbuk-gwan (Chunbu-gyo), Mormonism, Adventism, Gospel Baptists (Korea), Darakbang, Elijah Missionary Center, Adventists, various mystic Pentecostals, various ascetic sects, etc. Many minor heretics are biting and devouring souls like ferocious lions or small bugs. These cults make their own plausible arguments (doctrine), some claims are consistent with the Bible, some are plausible but different from the Bible, some are completely different from the Bible, but they are so fresh and new that they appear to be very fresh and naive. People's minds are easily deceived.
Judging from the history of Christianity, heresies are becoming increasingly sophisticated (?) and very cunning, making it increasingly difficult to reveal their identity. It is very difficult to discern the identity of the people because they exchange with people and participate in common ministries such as relief, scholarship and missionary work.
On the other hand, if you classify and point out heresy as a heresy because people hate complicated things and do not like to interfere or be interfered with, you will see a sad phenomenon of pushing that person as a strange person who creates problems, that is, a self-righteous person. .
Among the other groups of proponents of a different gospel are those who wear the robes of science, or theology, and disguise theology. They are active mainly in theological colleges. They are called liberal theology, new theology, and modern theology.
They put the Bible, the Word of God, on the test bench of human reason and science, and rip the Bible apart under the pretext of disassembling, reinterpreting, and re-examining the Bible. Still, they do not hesitate to assert:
“The Bible is not the Word of God, it is the work of Jewish literature. There are many errors in the Bible”, “The miracles of the Bible are not actually supernatural miracles, but a method of literary expression”, “The Bible is a moral book rather than a spiritual one”, “True salvation is political and social salvation, It means restoration”, “Jesus was not a virgin birth”, “Jesus was neither resurrected nor returned”, “Heaven and Hell are the spiritual world, not the real world”, “Homosexuality is not a sin” ”
There are also “secularists” among those who claim “another gospel”.
Secularists are false brothers who appear to be Christians but are not Christians. Of course, these are not people who do not want to sin because they have not yet grown in faith, but are forced to sin. Rather, they are people who live as one with the world, yet take it for granted, take it for granted, and bravely shout out their secularist claims. Their logic is as follows. “No matter how Christian you are, are you not a Christian? Isn't that also a person living in this world? To live in the world, you have to live in compromise with the world.”
So they take drinking and smoking for granted, freely entering secular songs, dancing and karaoke, and even admitting to living together before marriage, homosexuality, unbiblical divorce, and ceremonies. They do not have deep thoughts about the work of God imposed on the saints, such as worship, evangelism, preaching, prayer, devotion, almsgiving, and service, and believing in Jesus does not solve the problems of sin, the soul, and the problems of the world to come. I think this is for convenience. Therefore, their lives are not much different from those of the world. The claims and ideas of secularists are not the gospel. “Another Gospel.” They are pseudo gospel, counterfeit gospel, and false gospel.
Another argument of the other gospels is that of syncretists.
Syncretism can be expressed in other words as neo-evangelicalism, Catholicism, ecumenicalism, and religious pluralism. Their core argument (doctrine) is to recognize the identity of all religions, including Christianity (biblical religion). In other words, Christianity (Jesus) is not the only way to salvation. Catholicism, Judaism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and even ethnic and indigenous religions have their own salvation. Whatever it is, if you believe it with sincerity and earnestness, you can be saved. It is that there is salvation outside the church (the gathering of the saved). There is salvation outside of the Bible and Jesus. That is why all religions should not be at odds with each other and should become one. It means that we should have an interreligious dialogue and never criticize another's religion as wrong. When you say why you say that someone else's religion is wrong, doing that is not your personality.
The “interreligious dialogue and reconciliation movement” may sound plausible physically, but spiritually it is the oneness of God and Baal, the oneness of Christ and Belial, the oneness of light and darkness, and it is impossible. It is an evil movement that should not exist.
How can God and Baal become one? How can Christ and Belial become one, and light and darkness become one?
Others claiming “another gospel” are the gifted Gods
