HYBRID CHRISTIANITY
The internet is a vast universe. On it you
will find anything you can spell
or suggest.
Some of the content is credible,
but some
of it is crazy -- the problem
is when the
crazy so outnumbers the credible
that it
begins to overflow the mainstream
of credibility.
Thus far, public records, medical
science,
and home decorating are safe
-- but Christianity
is not; it's drowning in a sea
of misinformation.
We rapidly and insidiously have
entered the
post-Christian age. There are
now more people
believing in Hybrid Christianity
than those
who even know, let alone believe,
in fundamental
Christian doctrine. Few even
comprehend the
basics of what is required of
them, and anyone
attempting to attain to the nature
of Christ
as we ought to aspire, is considered
a weirdo,
a fanatic, a lunatic. Hence,
the pot is calling
the kettle black.
In old testament times, it was
a sin for
certain garments to be woven
of mixed fabrics
-- linen was linen, and wool
was only to
be woven together with more wool.
Though
there was a physical reason God
required
this, there is also a spiritual
application.
Jesus said: "You cannot
drink of the
cup of the Lord and also of the
cup of demons;
you cannot eat from the table
of the Lord
and also from the table of demons."
Also, "I'd rather that you
were hot
or cold, for if you are lukewarm,
I shall
spit you out of my mouth."
Additionally,
"What fellowship has light
with darknesss?"
Lastly, "They went out from
us, because
they were never really with us."
Yet
people are now mixing truth with
falsehood
on a scale impossible to turn
around or redirect.
Another thing we find on the
web is a cluster
of future-focused scientists
who are both
predicting and working towards
bringing about
a hybrid form of creature, part
robot part
human, that some call a cyborg.
They feel
the time of the homo sapien is
passing away
and that the next step is a world
populated
by machines or partial machines.
And these
are world-renowned scientists.
But long before we see the mainstreaming
of this objective, we find that
true Christianity
has been infiltrated with every
kind of pagan
doctrine and twisted theology
possible, most
of which find their ways to the
forefront
of the net's various search engines.
And
no one seems to be able to discern
the difference
anymore. Instead traditional
Christianity
is being typecast as an enemy
of social progress,
world unity, religious pluralism,
and logical
thought. And the only one allowed
to speak
up is some poor, stuttering,
cowering "apologist."
There has never been a more deadly
and dangerous
spiritual time in history since
God revealed
himself to man on His holy hill.
Christians
are being divided and conquered.
So many
have accepted foolishness in
the place of
God's revelation that it is becoming
impossible
to weave the bridal gown out
of such divergent
fabrics of faith. If anything,
we must continue
to try to oppose it by speaking
the truth
in love, remaining humble, and
holding fast
to the Word of God, which is
Christ in literal
form.
This is the only defense we will
have against
all of these spiritual ravages
-- to know
the divine personhood of Jesus
and to hold
on for dear eternal life: "If
Christ
is lifted up, He shall draw all
men unto
Himself." For "There
is no other
name under heaven by which a
man can be saved."
Dear brethre, when you're going
through a
violent storm, you want to hold
onto the
strongest support you can find,
and that
power is the hand of God. Don't
let go!
Peace, Sevi
